(Could Be) A Country Thing, City Thing, Blues Thing lyrics - Richard Ashcroft

How many days have I felt like this?

How strong am I?

It feels so good to be free

I want you to know

How I feel

You take me from the madness, the awe-inspiring sadness

Take me to the places where the air is clean

Fill my heart with wonder, awake me from my slumber

Toss me to the ocean like a sinking stone

Could be a city thing

Could be a blues thing

Could be a country thing

Could be the real thing

Took a walk over the rocks on the beach

And I was thinking of all the things I have and can never be

And I was dreaming lazily on your head as I

Watched the sunset

You take me from the madness, the awe-inspiring sadness

Show me places that I need to know

Roll me to the ocean, like a stone I will just fall in (I've been drowning)

Heaven knows where this love will go

Could be a city thing

Could be a blues thing

Could be a country thing

Could be the real thing

Could be a city thing

Could be a blues thing

Could be a country thing

Could be the me thing

Think

Could be a blues thing

Think

Could be the real thing

You take me from the madness, the awe-inspiring sadness

Take me to the places where the air is clean (and I've been drowning)

Fill my heart with wonder, wake me from my slumber (I've been sleeping)

Toss me to the ocean like a sinking stone (and I've been drowning)

Lift me out this logic

Leaves my heart grounded (I've been sleeping)

Take me to the places where the air is clean (and I've been drowning)

Meet me at the fountain, the one set in the garden (will you come bless me?)

I'll wash your hands as you just stand

Stand by me

Stand by me

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, mahma

You're real fine

Step back

Said you're really fine

Said you're really fine

Stand back

Said you're really fine

Said you're really fine

Yeah, yeah, yeah (said you're really fine)

Devotion

Kick the switch, babe

We're gone

City thing (devotion)

Could be a blues thing (said you're really fine)

Could be a country thing

A blues thing

A country thing

A city thing

Could be a blues thing

Country thing (step back)

A blues thing (you're really fine)

Ground control (devotion)

I've got a love you can hold

Devotion

Bring On The Lucie (FREDA PEEPLE) lyrics - Richard Ashcroft

(originally by John Lennon)

We don't care what flag you're waving

We don't even want to know your name

We don't care where you're from or where you're going

All we know is that you came

You're making all our decisions

We have just one request of you

That while you're thinking things over

Here's something you just better do

Free the people now (do it, do it, do it)

Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now (do it, do it, do it)

Free the people now (do it, do it, do it)

Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now

Well, we were caught with our hands in the air

Don't despair, paranoia is everywhere

We can shake it with love when we're scared

So let's shout it aloud like a prayer

Free the people now (do it, do it, do it)

Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now (do it, do it, do it)

Free the people now (do it, do it, do it)

Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now

We understand your paranoia

But we don't want to play your game

You think you're cool and know what you are doing

666 is your name

So while you're jerking off each other

You better bear this thought in mind

Your time is up, you better know it

But maybe you don't read the signs

Free the people now (do it, do it, do it)

Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now (do it, do it, do it, do it)

Free the people now (do it, do it, do it)

Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now

Well, you were caught with your hands in the kill

And you still got to swallow your pill

As you slip and you slide down the hill

On the blood of the people you killed

Stop the killing now (do it, do it, do it)

Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now (do it, do it, do it)

Stop the killing now (do it, do it, do it)

Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now

Well, we were caught with our hands in the air

Don't despair, paranoia is everywhere

We can shake it with love when we're scared

So let's shout it aloud like a prayer

Free the people now (do it, do it, do it)

Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now (do it, do it, do it)

Free the people now (do it, do it, do it)

Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now

And stop the killing

Free the people now (do it, do it, do it)

Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now

Circles lyrics - Richard Ashcroft

I love you even though I'm crazy

You love me though I'm foolish and I'm lazy

In the respect of all the things I've done

Just let them go now

And all I wanna do is take a hold now

Of your loving arms

Of your loving arms

I love it when

When the sun lights our bed

All of you is sleeping

And there ain't a thought in my head

And all I wanna do

Is say the words that need to be said

All I wanna do

Is say what needs to be said

Don't want you unfed with this feeling

All I need is you to know

All I need is for you to know

And freedom never comes to the searchers

Keep going round in circles

And I don't care for your particular colour

Mine's blue, and what's the bother?

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

All I really need is a friend

All I really need is this to end

All I really need is your smile

And all I really need

Just a little more time

Future's Bright lyrics - Richard Ashcroft

(from "The Adjustment Bureau" soundtrack)

Everywhere I look

I can see the faith

Reflecting back at me

And now I'm in this fate

I'm shaking all the hands

I'm doing all the plan

I guess I'm in control

And look how high it goes

Look how high it goes

The future's bright

It's looking good

The wheels are turning now

My words are understood

Flesh pressed, the lights flash

I know what's going now

I ain't looking back

The future's bright

Looking good

The wheels are turning now

My words are understood

Flesh pressed, the lights flash

I know what's going now

I ain't looking back

Destiny is close

I'm almost at the line

Victory is near

No mountains left to climb

Power brings the choice

Abuse or use

I guess I'm in control

Oh look how high I go

Look how high I go

The future's bright

Looking good

The wheels are turning

Now my words are understood

Flesh pressed, the lights flash

I know what's going now

I ain't looking back

The future's bright

Looking good

The wheels are turning

Now my words are understood

Flesh pressed, the lights flash

I know what's going now

I ain't looking back

Icarus fell from the sky

The plough still turned the field

And a child still cried

Oh when Icarus fell from the sky

The plough still turned the field

And a child still cried

Everywhere I look

I can see the faith

Reflecting back at me

And now I'm in this fate

I'm shaking all the hands

I'm doing all the plan

I guess I'm in control

And look how high it goes

Look how high it goes

The future's bright

Looking good

The wheels are turning now

My words are understood

Flesh pressed, the lights flash

I know what's going now

I ain't looking back

The future's bright

Looking good

The wheels are turning now

My words are understood

Flesh pressed, the lights flash

I know what's going now

I ain't looking back

The future's bright

Looking good

The wheels are turning now

My words are understood

Flesh pressed, the lights flash

I know what's going now

I ain't looking back

Oh sometimes you just can't believe it

Life got you back and you need it

Oh yeah now let go

All of those dreams I wanna know now

Well I mean strife

I know you mean all right

Ain't nothing going

And my life don't feel right

Shake a hand now

Better start buzzing now

I make the news for ya

I'm going big now

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas lyrics - Richard Ashcroft

(originally by Judy Garland)

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

Let your heart be light

Next year

All our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

Make the Yule-tide gay

From now on

All our troubles will be miles away

Once again as in olden days

Happy golden days of yore

Faithful friends who are dear to us

Gather near to us once more

Through the years we will all be together

If the fates allow

Hang a shining star upon the highest bough

Once again as in olden days

Happy golden days of yore

Faithful friends who are dear to us

Gather near to us once more

Someday soon we all will be together

If the fates allow

Until then we'll muddle through somehow

So have yourself a merry little Christmas right now

Yeah, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on...

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

Have yourself a merry little Christmas...

Hey Columbo lyrics - Richard Ashcroft

Ever get stiched up

Matched up, crucified

Before the world

Before you open your eyes, Columbo

Stiched up, crucified

Before your mother

Open your eyes, Columbo

Did you ever have your baby

Patted down

Stripped searched

Are you the fucking clown now

Now you're the fucking clown now

Ever get stiched up

Matched up, crucified

Before the world

Before you open your eyes, Columbo

I got the V8 humming

And I, I drive forever

I'm makin music

Making it forever

Stiched up, crucified

Before your mother

Open your eyes, Columbo

I got the whole world shaking

And they wanna feel my music

And you were down a bit

You'd never feel it

You'd never feel it

You'd never feel it

Just Like A Ship lyrics - Richard Ashcroft

But I found pain

I look for the sunshine, yes I did

(I look for sunshine)

But I found rain

(But I found rain)

And then I look for my friends

(I look for my friends)

And they all walked away

(Oh, they walked away)

Through all of the sorrows

(Through all of the sorrows)

You can't hear me say

(You can't hear me say)

Hey, hey, hey

I ain't worried cause I know

(I know we can take it)

I ain't worried cause I know

(I know we can take it)

Yeah, I know we can make it

Long Way Down lyrics - Richard Ashcroft

Take it how you please, please, don't

Bring me to my knees, I'm trying

With a diamond in my eye, yeah smile

Take it, then leave, tell me lies

Come and tell me why I'm a hypocrite

I got all the pieces but they still don't fit

In the Garden of Eden I found some trash

And I wrapped it up and I'll send it in a bag

Yes, it's a long way down

Yes, it's a long way down

Yes, it's a long (it's a long way) way (it's a long way) down

Yes, it's a long (it's a long way) way (it's a long way) down

Show me all the things that I've never seen

Live like oh babe, a bad dream

On a psychedelic mission to put me on my back

She's a multi-coloured vision, oh a heart attack

I'm luck or money when I'm gone gone gone

Show me what I need to see

Before the last tick of the last clock

Live for the money, live with all I got, yeah

Yes, it's a long way down

Yes, it's a one way road

Yes, it's a long (it's a long way) way (it's a long way) down

Yes, it's a long (it's a long way) way (it's a long way) from home

Baby here it comes, yeah flee

Tell me what you like to see

Multi-coloured vision of a acrobat

Swinging over you, I gave you that

Come and tell me why the light's in my eyes

Tell me why the screams are waking me at night

Tell me why the wall just seems too thin

And tell me why I'm sinking babe cause I can swim, yeah

Yes, it's a long way down

Where do you go (where do you go)

Where do (where do you go) you go (where do you go)

Where is the love (where is the love)

Where is (where is the love) the love

Where is the truth (where is the truth)

Where is (where is the truth) the truth (Where is the truth)

What did you do (what did you do)

What did you (what did you do) do (what did you do)

Where did you go (where did you go)

Oh, where (where did you go) did you go (where did you go)

Black is the night (dark is the night)

Black is the (black is the night) night (black is the night)

Without you (without you, yeah)

Without (without you) you (without you) come on

A one way road (one way road)

A one way (one way road) road (a one way road)

A long way down

Make A Wish lyrics - Richard Ashcroft

These feelings come and go I have no way of knowing where there gonna take me

The only thing I know in life is learning how its so necessary

I'm trying very hard to have patience with the ones who keep letting me down

Never saying anything expecting me to be there clown

Sometimes the rain comes

It clashes and hits my sun

Sweet rainbow kiss my sky

I'll make a wish

Help us with this life

I'll make a wish

I'll appreciate life

This world is so full of people they just masquerading

I wanna know the real you not the mask you have been wearing

Sometimes the rain comes

It clashes and hits my sun

Sweet rainbow kiss my sky

I'll make a wish

Help us with this life

I'll make a wish

I'll appreciate life

I'll make a wish

Help us with this life

I'll make a wish

I'll appreciate this life

I'm looking for the time I waited for you at the station

I thought about staying home I had a little deliberation

I'm trying very hard hard to learn the words to tease you

I'm trying very hard to learn the things to please you

Sometimes the rain comes

It clashes and hits my sun

Sweet rainbow kiss my sky

I'll make a wish

Help us with this life

I'll make a wish

I'll appreciate life

I'll make a wish

Help us with this life

I'll make a wish

Help with this life

I'll make a wish now

Help us with this life

I'll make a wish now
