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 Holes For The Young Lyrics
Manic Street Preachers
Lots of sun for you young boy
Lots of sun for you today
Subsidize the opera forget coal
Sit around in the london smog
Cappuccinos amongst the fumes
Breathe it in and down the gym
Yes Im on a witch hunt now
And paracetemol my only drug
Youve got some black holes for the young
You wont feel it when its gone
Youve got some black holes for the young
You wont know when its gone, when its gone
No sun for you young boy
It will hurt your lily white skin
I dont think it will hurt your mind
Well be the ones who will give you soul
Close enough to fill all those holes
This tenderness slipping through my fingers
Sandy sandy feet - ice cream to sleep
No more feeling that you can feel
Youve got some black holes for the young
You wont feel it when its gone
Youve got some black holes for the young
You wont know when its gone, when its gone
When its gone, when its gone
When its gone, when its gone
When its gone, gone
Youve got some black holes for the young
You wont feel it when its gone
Youve got some black holes for the young
You wont know when its gone, when its gone
