Manic Street Preachers Picture
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).

I Am Just A Patsy
The Oswald In Lee Harvey
Made Of My Own Misery
The Footprints Of History

I Am Just A Patsy
I Sell Vague Conspiracy
I'm Slow And I'm Easy
And I'm Waiting For Delivery

Even With The Most Control
Tied To Fragments Born And Grown
All Fucked Up With Nowhere To Go
The Best Thing I Ever Saw

I'm Slow And I'm Easy
And I'm Waiting For Delivery
