Manic Street Preachers(often known colloquially as "The Manics") are a Welsh rock band often associated with the Britpop scene, who gained mainstream popularity in the UK in the late 1990s. They are known for their intelligent and often political lyrics and have a dedicated cult following. Although during the early part of their career they were regarded as a punk rock band, their music is now often generally regarded as alternative rock, due to changes in their sound. Co-lyricist and guitarist Richey James Edwards (Richey James, as he preferred to be known) mysteriously disappeared in 1995; his whereabouts is unknown. Politically, the Manics appear as a socialist group — a stance inflected by their working class upbringing in Blackwood, south Wales (they grew up during the miners' strike of the 1980s) as evidenced by their often highly politicised lyrics and actions (they once dedicated an award to Arthur Scargill, leader of the National Union of Mineworkers and later the Socialist Labour Party).

Autumn Song Lyrics
Manic Street Preachers
Wear Your Eyes As Dark As Night
Paint Your Face With What You Like
Wear Your Love Like It Is Made Of Hate
Born To Destroy And Born To Create
Now Baby, What've You Done To Your Hair?
Is It Just The Same Time Of Year
When You Think That You Don't Really Care?
Now Baby, What Have You Done?
Done To Your Hair, Done To Your Hair, Done To Your Hair, Done To Your Hair, Hair!
So When You Hear This Autumn Song
Clear Your Heads And Get Ready To Run
So When You Hear This Autumn Song
Remember The Best Times Are Yet To Come
Now Baby, What've You Done To Your Hair?
Is It Just The Same Time Of Year
When You Think That You Don't Really Care?
Now Baby, What Have You Done To Your Hair?
Wear Your Eyes As Dark As Night
Paint Your Face With What You Like
Wear Your Love Like It Is Made Of Hate
Born To Destroy: Born To Create, Born To Create, Born To Create, Born To Create
So When You Hear This Autumn Song
Clear Your Heads And Get Ready To Run
So When You Hear This Autumn Song
Remember The Best Times Are Yet To Come
And Wear Your Hair In Bunches
And Your Jacket Loose
So When You Hear This Autumn Song
Clear Your Heads And Get Ready To Run
So When You Hear This Autumn Song
Clear Your Heads And Get Ready To Run
So When You Hear This Autumn Song
Remember The Best Times Are Yet To Come
