Richard Milhous Nixon (January 9, 1913 – April 22, 1994) was the 37th President of the United States, serving from 1969 to 1974. The only president to resign the office, Nixon had previously served as a US representative and senator from California and as the 36th Vice President of the United States from 1953 to 1961.
Nixon was born in Yorba Linda, California. After completing his undergraduate work at Whittier College, he graduated from Duke University School of Law in 1937, and returned to California to practice law. He and his wife, Pat Nixon, moved to Washington to work for the federal government in 1942. He subsequently served in the United States Navy during World War II. Nixon was elected to the House of Representatives in 1946 and to the Senate in 1950. His pursuit of the Hiss Case established his reputation as a leading anti-communist, and elevated him to national prominence. He was the running mate of Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Republican Party presidential nominee in the 1952 election. Nixon served for eight years as vice president. He waged an unsuccessful presidential campaign in 1960, narrowly losing to John F. Kennedy, and lost a race for Governor of California in 1962. In 1968, he ran again for the presidency and was elected.
Manic Street Preachers are a Welsh alternative rock band formed in 1986 consisting of James Dean Bradfield (lead vocals, lead guitar), Nicky Wire (bass, lyrics), and Sean Moore (drums, percussion). The band is part of the Cardiff music scene and were at their most prominent during the 1990s. They are colloquially known as "The Manics" or simply "Manics". Manic Street Preachers were originally a quartet but primary lyricist and rhythm guitarist Richey Edwards vanished on 1 February 1995.
In 1992, the Manics released their debut album, Generation Terrorists. Their combination of androgynous glam punk imagery and critical social lyrics about "culture, alienation, boredom, and despair" soon gained them a loyal following and cult status. The band's later albums retained a leftist politicisation and intellectual lyrical style while adopting a broader alternative rock sound.
Following Edwards' disappearance, Bradfield, Moore, and Wire persisted with Manic Street Preachers and went on to gain critical and commercial success, becoming one of Britain's premier rock bands. Altogether, they have garnered eight Top 10 albums, fifteen Top 10 singles, and have reached number one three times with their 1998 This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours album, the 1998 "If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next" single, and the 2000 "The Masses Against the Classes" single.

This is how it feels to be special
I wanted to kill you the next day
I feel bad I feel bad I feel better
I wanted to kill you the next day
I say twice I say thrice I say four times
I wanted to kill you the next day
I feel sane I feel sane have I lost it?
This is how it feels to be special
This is how it feels to be Nixon
Hey, hey, hey, hey forever and ever and ever again
Hey, hey, hey, hey forever and ever and ever again
Don't you smile like you smile 'less you mean it
I wanted to kill you the next day
It infected the way that she dances
This is how it feels to be special
This is how it feels to be Nixon
You give and you give and you give up
Hey, hey, hey, hey forever and ever and ever again
Hey, hey, hey, hey forever and ever and ever again
Hey, hey forever and ever again
Hey, hey forever and ever again
Hey, hey, hey, hey forever and ever and ever again
Hey, hey, hey, hey forever and ever and ever again
Hey, hey forever and ever again
But it just looks so cold there from the bottom
Another part of another ritual
Standing in the kitchen, arms are braced against the counter
Swallowing like mercury down the drain
And the neighbors have been drinking
And they are raising quite a stink
Pretty soon they will be fighting
It can get pretty ugly
The city makes a hooting sound tonight
The owl on the roof has got it right
And if it's left to him he can take that stupid grin
And decapitate a rodent or a mouse
Take the B train or the shuttle
At the exit have a smoke
Try to spit onto the sidewalk
Instead you wipe it off your chest
I don't wanna freak
But the tongue erodes
Each time we speak
On a timely mission
Ohh, you look pretty swell
In your new position
Fiberglass, funny face upon the wall
It's funny when it's not funny at all
And if it's up to him, you can take the ways of sin
And smash it like a glass against the wall
But it's nothing too pathetic
Full of rhetoric and doubt
Carry on like little creatures
In the fields of the heart
I don't wanna freak
But the tongue erodes
Each time we speak
On a timely mission
Ohh, you look pretty swell
In your new position
So it came to pass that I'd stayed with you long after they had left.
So now you pace the hall, talking to the oil portraits along the walls.
I know you did what you did
But I was just a kid.
Don't compare me now to how I was back then.
Don't compare me now to how I was back then.
And this too shall pass.
Long after they're done searching through your desk
They call it voyeurism, not viewing it as a precaution.
I know you did what you did
cause you thought I'd never forgive
But we were both a little crazy when we were kids.
Looking back on it, I would've done the same thing.
Everyone was doing crazy shit back then...
Maybe I'm not so crazy after all
Don't compare me now to how I was back then.
