Nicky Wire (born Nicholas Allen Jones, Blackwood, January 20 1969) is the lyricist, bassist and occasional vocalist to the Welsh rock band Manic Street Preachers.
On Christmas Day 2005, the Manics' official site posted a solo track by Nicky called I Killed the Zeitgeist, however the song was only available to download for one day.

Intro: "It’s scary to watch someone you love go into the centre of himself and confront
fears... Fear of failure, fear of death, fear of going insane
You have to fail a little, die a little, go insane a little to come out the other side."

Break my heart slowly

Dora Maar said to me
C* C C/B Am
She came to me in a dream
C* C C/B Am
Reaching out for luck with fear
She said:
F E G F
"Hold on, hold on, hold on to your gun"
C* C C/B Am
It was cold, the night was black
C* C C/B Am
You could feel her freezing hands
C* C C/B Am
Exiting a life of chance
C* C C/B Am
Painted dead a million times
She said:
F E G F
"Hold on, hold on, hold on to your gun"
F
If your life has changed
E
If it makes no sense
G
You can carry on
F
If you still belong
F
If your life has changed
E
If it makes no sense

You can carry on
