The second picture is the main clue.

[That*Manics*Feeling]

I was cheating and trying to guess the last one, and found this on a page with b sides random. the only funny bit really is what James says at the end...

And now for a comical parody of Manics history. Since I love them to death, I feel justified in making fun of them. Thus, I give you...

Manic Street Preachers: A Five Minute Stage Play

Once upon a time...
(Nicky and Richey hold hands and run around skipping)
Nicky and Richey: La la la la la la! Happiness! We are very happy! Childhood is good.

Richey: I don't like girls very much.
Nicky: Me either.
(sex stuff happens)

Nicky: I'm going to follow you to college now and sleep in your room.
Richey: Right, okay.

James: We need a new bass player.
Nicky: I can play bass. Richey could play guitar.
James: ... he doesn't play guitar.
Nicky: I'll teach him.
James: But we already have me as a guitarist--
Nicky: He's hot and writes lyrics and gives good head!
James: ...
Nicky: Pretty please?
James: The things I put up with.
Nicky: Yay!

Richey: Let's make out in all the videos so everyone thinks we're fucking!
Nicky: ... aren't we?
Richey: That's beside the point.

Nicky: So yeah, I think I'm probably in love with you.
Richey: Gah! Religious guilt! Love is a lie!
Nicky: Fine then. (marries girl)
Richey: Fuck you! Love is a lie! Stupid experimental bisexual people! I hate you!
Nicky: It's your own damn fault.
Richey: It's because I'm not a girl, right? What if I were a girl? I wish I were a girl. I'd beat up your evil wife.
James and Sean: ...

Richey: Now I'm going to write songs about how mean you are.
(writes Revol, Yes, Mausoleum, She is Suffering, etc.)
Media: Wow, what powerful political statements!

Richey: Now I'm going to starve myself and go insane.
Nicky: Gah! I'm sorry I'm sorry!
Sean: What's going on?
Nicky: Nothing. Everything's peachy.
James: What are all these lyrics about--
Nicky: POLITICS! And WAR! It's all about falling between the cracks of capitalism and communism! And being sexually - I mean, religiously - confused!
James: Uh huh.

(Richey has period of reflection in decaying mental hospital ward)
Richey: Screw this.
(disappears)
Nicky: WTF?
Richey: Oh, by the way, I love you. Yeah, like that. (leaves note)
Nicky: (reads note) YOU ASSHOLE!

(Media attributes note to `mystery girl')
Richey, somewhere in Middle America: Morons.

Nicky: Dude, this is fucked up.
(writes Further Away, Sepia, Design for Life, Enola/Alone, etc.)
Good lyric fodder though.

James: We could try playing without Richey.
Nicky: No!
James: Dude.
Nicky: (sniffles) But we have to use his leftover lyrics!
James: Er, okay.
Nicky: And I know we've never done a love song before, but here's one.
James: ...
Nicky: And this is another one. It's not gay. Nope. Completely and totally heterosexual.
James: ... just one man giving another man his liquid.
Sean: Okay, but on the next album--

Nicky: Hey, I just finished a bunch of tragic lyrics about how I still love Richey! Cool huh?
Sean: Er.
James: Okay, but on the next album--

Nicky: Guys! I stopped writing about Richey! For real this time! I'm totally over him.
Sean: Really?
Nicky: Yeah, see all I had to do was use all kinds of metaphors and hard words and it looks like I'm talking about something else.
James: ...
Media: Wow, what powerful political statements!

Nicky: Fuck. Writer's block.
(Manics release multiple compilations)

James: Dude. This isn't working. Just write about Richey already.
Nicky: But I'm so over him!
James: Dude.

Media: So what's this lyric about?
Nicky: Richard Nixon. And Richey.
Media: And this one?
Nicky: Richey.
Media: And this?
Nicky: Oh that one's REALLY about Richey.
James: At least he's admitting it now.

The End.
