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).

Can’t Take My Eyes Off You Lyrics
Manic Street Preachers
Written by: crewe/gaudio
Youre just too good to be true
I cant take my eyes off you
You feel like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At last love has arrived
And I thank God Im alive
Youre just too good to be true
I cant take my eyes off you
Pardon the way that I stare
Theres nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
Darling you feel like I feel
And I dont have to know if its real
Youre just too good to be true
I cant take my eyes off you
I love you baby
And if its quite all right
I need you baby
To warm the lonely night
I love you baby
Trust in me when I say
Oh pretty baby
Dont bring me down, I pray
Oh pretty baby
Now that Ive found this day
So let me love you baby
Let me love you
Youre just too good to be true
I cant take my eyes off you
You feel like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At last love has arrived
And I thank God Im alive
Youre just too good to be true
I cant take my eyes off you
I love you baby
And if its quite all right
I need you baby
To warm the lonely night
I love you baby
Trust in me when I say
Oh pretty baby
Dont bring me down, I pray
Oh pretty baby
Now that Ive found this day
So let me love you baby
Let me love you
