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 Live To Fall Asleep Lyrics
Manic Street Preachers
I live to fall asleep
its when i stop the hate
I never want to dream
it infiltrates beauty
I live to fall asleep
regenerate and sin
skin so tense gives in
I've lived enough to kill
when did you become another distant friend
everyone who loved you stayed waited till the end
when did you become another distant friend
everyone who loved you stayed waited till the end
when did you decide that sleep could save your life
how could you become another boy struck down with love
I live to fall asleep
I live to fall asleep
I live to fall asleep it helps me through the day
drink is never dulled a pain so deep does run
I live to fall asleep serene alone happy
holding on to screams waiting for the time
when did you become another distant friend
everyone who loved you stayed waited till the end
when did you become another distant friend
everyone who loved you stayed waited till the end
when did you decide that sleep could save your life
how could you become another boy struck down with love
I live to fall asleep
I live to fall asleep
so lazy lazy lazy
chuck down all the pills
needing to remember how and why to live
when did you decide that sleep could save your life
how could you become another boy struck down with love
I live to fall asleep
I live to fall asleep
