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).

Black Dog On My Shoulder Lyrics
Manic Street Preachers
Theres a black dog on my shoulder again
Licking my neck and saying shes my friend
Solitude the one thing that I really miss
Guess my life is a compromise
Theres a black dog on my shoulder again
Im playing with it but its gone to my head
Like carlitos way there are no exit signs
Freeze me there until I am numb
My mouth is so dry
My eyes are shut tight
Theres a black dog a coming tonight
Black dogs a coming tonight
My dilemma but not my choice
Winston churchill can you hear my voice
Melodrama there in my kitchen sink
Double vision the way it is
Am I coming home to you again
Or am I stupid just by design
Does it matter if you really ever know
This black dog is out of control
My mouth is so dry
My eyes are shut tight
Theres a black dog a coming tonight
Black dogs a coming tonight
Am I coming home to you again
Or am I stupid just by design
Does it matter if you really ever know
This black dog is out of control
My mouth is so dry
My eyes are shut tight
Theres a black dog a coming tonight
Black dogs a coming tonight
