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).

Door To The River Lyrics
Manic Street Preachers
Im losing all my innocence
Door to the river
I know Ive stopped making much sense
Door to the river
I think Ill leave and Ill take some rest
Door to the river
All my best wishes are just lies
Are just lies
Id love to see colours like you
Door to the river
Resurrected and feeling blue
Door to the river
Ive seen the glory and yes its true
Door to the river
Fearful of the future now
The future is now
But its true the things you feel dont go
The people that you love hold on
Baby I lost my way
Following our star
But I guess thats just how you are
How you are
The majesty, the majesty
Door to the river
Pre-eminent amongst the free
Door to the river
Happy and drifting endlessly
Door to the river
All my best wishes are just lies
Are just lies
Sun breaks and cloudbursts
The hardest of all words
The conflict of sin all kept within
Baby I lost my way
Following our star
But I guess thats just how you are
How you are
Just how you are
How you are
