Manic Street Preachers Lyrics


Manic Street Preachers returned as a three piece in 1996.
The single, 'A Design For Life' hailed the
(ever-decreasing) capabilities of the British welfare
system, with its opening line, "libraries gave us power ".
A tremendous ballad awarded an Ivor Novello songwriting
award, it reached No.2 in the UK charts in April 1996.
Their fourth album, 'Everything Must Go' captured and
revealed the turmoil of the band's recent history and won
them increasingly wider appeal (and their first two Brit
Awards for Best Album and Best Band).

Yes | Reviewer: Perry
    ------ About the song If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next performed by Manic Street Preachers

Honoured and delighted to be the first comment to such a meaningful song, with soul, passion, and a clear message.


This song is sheer brilliance by Manic street preachers, since i was young i remember one line from it. "If you tolerate this, then your children will be next"

Need i say more?

    ------ About the song Yes performed by Manic Street Preachers

I love this song <3 as far as I can see, it's about prostitution in everyday life, about people selling themselves to people by doing what someone else wants, hence the name "yes" which is what he says even when he wants to say no...


wow | Reviewer: sammi
    ------ About the song 4st 7lb performed by Manic Street Preachers

this song isn't subtle like some other ana/mia songs, just talking about not eating and pushing away food. it's graphic and raw and a total slap in the face. anyone who has ever joked about eating disorders should hear this song.


tragic | Reviewer: Hardy
    ------ About the song Ocean Spray performed by Manic Street Preachers

After numerous sessions of listening, it was articles on the net that helped me to understand that this song had a tragic, yet strong origin. The song was about Bradfield's mother's battle against cancer. The lyrics reflect deep sadness, yet also reflect strength in facing the tragedy. The trumpet solo helped to create the sympathetic atmosphere. Very nice.


you idiot | Reviewer: chris
    ------ About the song The Love Of Richard Nixon performed by Manic Street Preachers

richard nixon was the us president from 1968-1974 (i think, i will be quoted on that), during the cold war. russian radio will be playing that because they still hate america, like nearly the whole planet does.

What's the Point? | Reviewer: Doug
    ------ About the song The Love Of Richard Nixon performed by Manic Street Preachers

I am working in Rostov-on-Don in Russia, and one radio station plays this song every morning (or nearly so). The station is Radio Rostov. I wonder what is the point of this song, and even stranger, why this Russian radio station plays it nearly every morning? I cna't imagine who would even buy something from this band. But the name Manic Street Preachers, is also too much!!! Well, someone here must like the song, or they wouldn't play it nearly every day. When I here the song I change the station to Russian pop.
