Os Manic Street Preachers são uma banda formada no País de Gales por volta do ano de 1989 em Blackwood. Os amigos de escola James Dean Bradfield (vocais e guitarras), Nicky Wire (baixo) e Sean Moore (bateria) decidiram pelo nome de Betty Blue (titulo em inglês do filme 37°2 le matin de Jean-Jacques Beineix estrelado por Béatrice Dalle no papel de Betty.), mas antes mesmo de lançar o primeiro single, o trio adotou Manic Street Preachers.

Verse 1: G I'm losing all my innocence Door to the river I know I've stopped making much sense Door to the river Hm I think I'll leave and I'll take some rest G Door to the river
Chorus 1: EmA All my best wishes are just lies C Are just lies
Verse 2: G I'd love to see colours like you Door to the river Resurrected and feeling blue Door to the river Hm I've seen the glory and yes it's true G Door to the river
Chorus 2: EmA Fearful of the future now C The future is now Hm But it's true the things Em you feel don't go CG The people that you love hold on Hm Baby I lost my way Em Following our star CGE But I guess that's just how you are GE How you are
Verse 2: G The majesty, the majesty Door to the river Pre-eminent amongst the free Door to the river Hm Happy and drifting endlessly G Door to the river
Chorus 3: EmA All my best wishes are just lies C Are just lies Hm Sun breaks and cloudbursts Em The hardest of all words CG The conflict of sin all kept within Hm Baby I lost my way Em Following our star CGE But I guess that's just how you are GE How you are GE Just how you are GE How you are
