Manic Street Preachers es un grupo de rock procedente de Gales, Reino Unido, formado por James Dean Bradfield (voz y guitarra), Sean Moore (batería) y Nicky Wire (bajo).
La banda se formó en 1986, tomando influencia de bandas como Badfinger y Joy Division, sumándole guitarras agresivas, como un cruce a mitad camino del indie y el punk más tradicional; sus tres primeros discos se caracterizaron por letras poéticas y reivindicativas. Hasta que la misteriosa desaparición de Richey James en 1995 los reorganizó como trío.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
Lyrics by Nicky Wire, Music by James Dean Bradfield and Sean Moore
From the album 'Know Your Enemy' (2001).
This is just a brilliant, brilliant song, why it wasn't number 1 is beyond me. Best thing they've done for years.

ABm Things get clear when I feel free C#mD But what happens next comes easily EF#m What gentle hands you brought to me ACA When your eyes feel weak and tired it truly hits
ABm When I missed you you were my life C#m (When I missed you you were my life) D So at ease in the midnight sky E (So at ease in the midnight sky) F#m My insides will look like wire
(My insides will look...) ACA Paralysed as if to prove my thoughts
F#m So why so sad C#m You live and you love F#m So why so sad C#m (Cm) You've given all the love BmE Searching for the dead sea scrolls GF# So why, so why so sad
ABm My smile as real as a hyena's C#m (My smile as real as a hyena's) D Burns an express-way to my skull E (Burns an express-way to my skull) F#m Well I will stick myself together again ACA My spirit, soul and body know I can't pretend
F#m So why so sad C#m You live and you love F#m So why so sad C#m (Cm) You've given all the love BmE Searching for the dead sea scrolls GF# So why, so why so sad
