Officially Nixon was dubbed a bad President for the USA, this is also reflected in the line "the best years never found you". The chorus in simply just the band saying that Nixon was a President with love to give and the line death without assaination is simply he died normally without being killed. In my opinion the music is excellent, catchy, sad and dramatic in some areas. The music fits really well with the words, this song is most probably one of the manics best works I'v ever heard. Why not write about the past, I mean walking in memphis was written about Elvis, this track the manics are just looking back at the times.
