Why Not Nothing? lyrics – Richard Ashcroft

I aint got time for your politics
Or your masqueraded machavellian tricks
Goodbye, you know i aint got time

Dont deny it its abuse of the cross
Lets get some of god squad in the dock where they belong
Ah wheres ya song ?

Its a- I know that your wrong you gotta learn the way you do
Take my advice dont let em treat you like a fool
Hey babe, Im gonna look you in the eye
Thats when we started singing

Why not, why not nothing
Why not, why not nothing
Why not, why not nothing
Why not, why not nothing

Tonight i need survival through your everyday
Who the fuck are you when you take that mask away ?
Friend i dont know, ahh where do we go ?

I do not know whats real on the screen
Hollywoods directing world war 3
Whats going on?, ahh pass me the gun

Its a- I know that your wrong you gotta learn the way you do
Take my advice dont let em treat you like a fool
Hey babe, Im gonna look you in the eye
Thats when we started singing

Why not, why not nothing
Why not, why not nothing
Why not, why not nothing
Why not, why not nothing
[X2]

Cos its a- I know that your wrong you gotta learn the way you do
Take my advice dont let em treat you like a fool
Hey babe, Im gonna look you in the eye
Thats when we started singing

Why not, why not nothing
Why not, why not nothing
Why not, why not nothing
Why not, why not nothing

Its a- I know that your wrong you gotta learn the way you do
Take my advice dont let em treat you like a fool
Hey babe, Im gonna look you in the eye
Thats when we started singing

Why not nothing
Why not nothing
Why not nothing
Why not nothing

Music Is Power lyrics – Richard Ashcroft

Music is power, let it flow through your mind
Your just like a flower, yeah in the deep sunshine

Are you invited, to the party of life?
Well now you've decided, do you live till you die?

These are wild wild wild days we live in
Yes I know sometimes you all wanna give in
These are strange strange vein days of living
Yeah I know sometimes you all wanna give in

Don't give up, oh no, alright
Let the melody flow, all night, all night

Cause Music is power, its easing your soul
Rockin' like a cradle, yeah it won't let you go

If the melody's timeless, oh it won't let you down
You can feel the air moving, submit to the sound...

In these wild wild wild days you live in
Yes I know sometimes you all wanna give in
These are strange strange vein days of living
I know sometimes you all wanna give in

Don't give up, oh no, alright
Let the melody flow, all night, all night

After all we go through, oh being in this crowd
Backdays good fortune, yeah all things you'll find

Cause Music is a mad drug, unwinding your head
Music is a question, to things unsaid

These wild wild wild days you live in
Yeah I know sometimes you all wanna give in
These are strange strange vein days of living
I know sometimes that you just don't fit in

Don't give in, don't give up, don't pack it up, stop cracking up
Let the song, carry you on and keep you strong

Don't wanna control ya (ooooh oohh)
Cause Music is power, submit to the sound

Break The Night With Colour lyrics – Richard Ashcroft

Fools they think I do not know, the road I'm taking
If you meet me on the way, hesitating
that is just because I know which way I will choose

The corridors of discontent, that I've been travelling
on the lonely search for truth, the world's so frightening
Nothing's going right today, cos nothing ever does

I don't wanna know your secrets
They lie heavy on my head
Let's break the night with colour
Time for me to move ahead

Love this life if you get a little light
[x4]

Monday morning coming down, lack understanding
Mama thinks you are the clown, your looking so frightening
Nothing's going right today, cos nothing ever does

I don't wanna know your secrets
They lie heavy on my head
Time for me to break my cover
Time for me to move ahead

(You think of giving it up, here we go again)
(You think of giving it up, here they come again)

I don't wanna know your secrets
They lie heavy on my head
Let's break the night with colour
Time for us to move ahead
I said I don't wanna know your secrets
They lie heavy on my head
Time, let's break the night with colour
Time for me to move ahead

(You think of giving it up)

Words Just Get In The Way lyrics – Richard Ashcroft

When you've given all you've got
And you're feeling overcome
When your back's against the wall
There's no one left to call, call me

When you're head is so full
And you feel misunderstood
And the fear is coming fast
You think you're time has past
You say why me, why me?

If you want it
You know I've got it
Words they just get in the way
If you want it
Oh yeah I've got it
Words they just get in the way
Words they just get in the way
In the way

When you're feeling like you've lost
When all you're hope is gone
And the bridge above the river
Is only the beginning of your fall

If you want it
Oh yeah I've got it
Words they just get in the way
If you want it
Oh yeah I've got it
Words they just get in the way
Words they just get in the way

Sing it to me now
All my life in the way
ABC all the way
Since I was a child
Words they drive me wild

Keys To The World lyrics – Richard Ashcroft

Institutions, you went through them
Ohhhhh from the age of five

And no one loved ya
Cared if you lived or you die

Here we go again
In your room your idol pleasures
The sinking sands
Fell through the net no one to catch ya

Here we go again
In your room your idol pleasures
The sinking sands
Perhaps I could make it better

I got the keys to the world girl
Mixed up world
I got the keys to the world girl
Suicidal world
I got the keys to world girl
Ohhh mixed up world
I got the keys to the world girl
What ya gonna do when we get there .... when we get there

Confrontations, you expect them
Ohhhh, if someone never loves

And theres no point in fighting
The truth is they'll never return

Here we go again
In your room your idol pleasures
The sinking sands
Fell through the net no one to catch ya

Here we go again
In your room your idol pleasures
The sinking sands
Perhaps I could make it better

I got the keys to the world girl
Mixed up world
I got the keys to the world girl
What we gonna do when we get there
I got the keys to world girl
Ohhh suicidal world
I got the keys to the world girl
What ya gonna do when we get there ... when we get there

What will be will be

Sweet Brother Malcolm lyrics – Richard Ashcroft

Sweet brother malcolm, he's under house arrest,
Its the talk of the town, who'd of thought it of him?

Sweet cousin mary, no blood in her veins,
She had so much, now nothing remains.

When it all comes crashing down,
And the press move in to town,
Bring all floral words wrapped in sellophane.

Sweet little tony, where'd it all go wrong ?
He hit the wall, singing his favourite song

When it all comes crashing down,
And the press move in to town,
Bring all floral words wrapped in sellophane,
Watch them move out as fast as they came,
Leave the broken hearted with their pain.

Sweet brother malcolm, he's under house arrest,
Its the talk of the town, who'd of thought it of him?

Sweet angel mary, no blood in her veins,
Wheres this life ? madness remains
Wheres theres life madness will reign
Madness will reign

Cry Til The Morning lyrics – Richard Ashcroft

First time that I ever saw yer
Knew nothing would ever be the same
Sweet love in the process
There were things I needed to explain

Yeah you didn't play with my feelings
Like the others with their games
You said it's time to do some bleeding
Time to cry the past away

Cry till the morning
Cry till the morning
We just cry till the morning
Cry like never before

First place I never quite asked yer
Those peaches faded on your wall
Those family members
Sometimes they've just got to call

Sweet love in the process
And solitude in love combined
Have you got an address
Some place new that we can find

So we can cry till the morning
Cry till the morning
Cry till the morning
Cry like never before

Cry till the morning
Yeah we cry till the morning
Cry till the morning
Cry till the morning

Come on cry till the morning
Cry till the morning .... (morning)
Cry till the morning
Cry like never before

Why Do Lovers? lyrics – Richard Ashcroft

Come now baby
Stay in bed, don't think that it's lazy
Get ourselves another god
Don't let them tell us there isn't one (isn't one)

Stay, sweet honey
Life's so fast, ya know it ain't funny
Get ourselves another god
Don't let them tell us there isn't one (isn't one)

Like we are just skin
Can you behold
Know beauty within
Know beauty inside your body
You don't love any body

Why do lovers
Choose others
We circle, entwine one-another
In that mask that we wear with each other
Oh my god how I looked in that mirror
I looked in a hollow picture
It was something I could frame

That's right, sweet-heart
Life's tough now, life can be hard
Don't blame me for these pressures in life
Don't blame me for this sacrifice (sacrifice)

Ok, sweet-heart
Take your time, I know lovers they part
Time slows when you're in love
And time moves so fast when it's gettin' on (gettin' on)

Cos we are just skin
Can you behold
I know beauty within
Know beauty inside my body
I don't love any body

Why do lovers
Choose others
To mirror their pain, yeah
Slow down stranger
You know that you're in danger
These demons have got their own names, yeah
Ready for you to lay it onnnnnnnnn

Oohhhh

Simple Song lyrics – Richard Ashcroft

I opened up my eyes
Swear I saw the light
Don't you know the truth
It's so very hard to find

Too much doesn't feel good
Too much doesn't feel right
I'm singing (singing), I'm singing (singing)
I'm singing, singing simple song

Some things die
To stay alive
The tears we cried
We'll drink them from time
Yeah, I'm happy to feel this way
Don't know another way
Happy and feeling right

Oh, it's the only thing that gets me through the night
I'm not scared, 'cause I know I will survive
That's right, that's right

Mercy has its place
I know I made mistakes
Please open those arms
Fill me with your grace

Too much doesn't feel good
Too much doesn't feel right
I'm singing (singing), I'm singing (singing)
I'm singing, singing simple song

Some things die
Just to stay alive
The tears we cried
We'll drink 'em from time
Yeah, I'm happy to feel this way
Don't know another way
Happy to feel that right

Oh, it's the only thing that gets me through the night
I'm not scared, 'cause I know I can survive
That's right, that's right

Yeah, I'm happy to feel this way
You know I don't know another way
(Yes I know I can survive)
Yeah, I'm happy to feel this way
('cause I know I can survive)
'Cause I don't know another way
('cause I know I can survive)
Ohh, my my my my my my my my my my my my my
Ohhhhh my my my my my
Yeah I know I can surviiiiiiive
Yes I know I will surviiiiiive
Oh eh oh eh oh

World Keeps Turning lyrics – Richard Ashcroft

It's been a long time since I've been around here
I'm driving so fast, the trees disappear around me
Everything I know, or have known before
Is here in my mind, I think you know the score

The world keeps turning, everybody's learning
Keep ahead of the race it's the human despair
On my blocks every night trying to figure out what's wrong & right
Oh, just as psychedelic thing, I'll bring you love, anything
But the tears will flow, just the like the blood on the streets yeah

It's been too long since we sat down here & talked
It's been too long, you know we separated
It's been so long I wish that I could build a bridge
It's been so long, how can I see through it?

The world keeps turning, everybody's learning
Keep ahead of the race, I've money to spend
And time to lend on my friends
Everything right in my life again
Oh babe, don't you take it away & give me days that were black & gray
And all the corners of my mind turned, entwined into another guy
Oh hit, a hypocrit, yeah that's it. I turned my words, they twirl & combine
They mix in your head, and make you think that I'm singing right to you
It's ok, if you want, I'll give you the time, the money to run
You could be the president, if you get that far then give me some help

"Human Conditions" (2002)




Check The Meaning lyrics – Richard Ashcroft

When I'm low, and I'm weak, and I'm lost
I don't know who I can trust
Paranoia, the destroyer, comes knocking on my door
You know the pain drifts to days, turns to nights
But it slowly will subside
And when it does, I take a step, I take a breath
And wonder what I'll find

Can you hear what I'm saying?
Got my mind meditating on love, love
Feel what I'm saying
Got my mind meditating on love, love

(The human condition, the human condition)

Too much blood, too much hate, turn off the set
There's got to be something more
When Mohammed, Allah, Buddah, Jesus Christ
Are knocking down my door
I'm agnostic getting God, but man
She takes a female form
There's no time, no space, no law
We're out here on our own

Can you hear what I'm saying?
Got my mind meditating on love, love
Feel what I'm saying
Got my mind meditating on love, love

Check the meaning
(The human condition)
Check the feeling
(The human condition)

Guess it's life, doing it's thing
Making you cry, making you think
Yeah life, dealing it's hand
Making you cry and you don't understand
Life, doing it's thing
Making you cry now, making you think of
Pain, doing it's thing
Making you cry yeah, making you sing

Don't say it, don't say it's too late
Don't, don't say it's too late (It's never too late, it's never too late)
Don't, don't say it's too late (It's never too late)
Don't, don't say it's too late

The human condition, the big decisions
The human condition, the big decisions

I'm like a fish with legs, I fell from the tree
I made a rocket (check the meaning), I made a wheel
I made a rocket (check the feeling), I swam the ocean (check the meaning)
I saw the moon (say a prayer), I seen the universe (and beyond)
I see you (check the feeling), I see me (check the meaning)
That's my reality
And while the city sleeps we go walking

It's a beautiful world
And when the city sleeps we go walking
We find a hole in the sky and then we start talking
And then we say "Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ
Buy us some time, buy us some time"
Hear what I'm saying
Can you hear what I'm saying?
Can you hear what I'm saying?
Can you hear what I'm saying?

It's gonna be alright

Buy It In Bottles lyrics – Richard Ashcroft

Baby come on, come on down
And love please don't make a sound
Let nature strike a chord
'Cos nature is the Lord that I depend

When you learn to cut it loose
All the things that've been drowning you
Let 'em slide from your hands
The foolish demands from the people round you

I know you can buy it in bottles and
I know you may find it with prayer
I know it all so very well

Until I get there then
I'll be looking for the sense
You can meet me where I am
And here I stand, and here I stay

I know you can buy it in bottles and
I know you may find it with pills
I know it all so very well

Stuck in this life where nothing changes
I'm born of man, I'm born of ages

I know you can buy it in bottles and
I know you may find it with prayer
I know it all so very well

I know you can buy it in bottles and
I know you may find it with pills
I know it all so very well

Until I get there then
Until I get there then
Until I get there then
Until I get there then

Bright Lights lyrics – Richard Ashcroft

The bright lights of the big city
They taught us how to think, they taught us how to steal
Come on and steal me, steal me
You took your razor tongue to my lovin' eyes
You said "A time to live, now's the time to die"
Come on now die with me, die with me
Can't you see there must be more for me
You know you're livin' a lie
And so am I
You know I'd have a breakdown
But I don't have the time

I get up straight, I take my pill
I swallow it whole, I don't feel ill
It ain't a crime to live, it ain't a crime to die
It ain't a crime to walk in this big, big sky
Come on now walk with me, walk with me
Can't you see there must be more for me
You know you're livin' a lie
And so am I
I know you'd have a breakdown
But you don't have the time
And you're all messed up
Waiting for a sign
You want me to paint it
I haven't got the time

Take a ride with me

It ain't no crime to walk, it ain't no crime to fly
It ain't no crime to die, it ain't no crime to take a walk in
the big sky

The bright lights of the big city
They taught us how to think, they taught us how to see can you
(Twenty, twenty-first century breakdown)
Can't you see there must be more for me
You know you're livin' a lie
And so am I
I know you'd have a breakdown
But you don't have the time
And you're all messed up
Waiting for a sign
You want me to paint it
I haven't got the time
And it's making me crazy
I don't know where I fit
I guess in the end
We're all sick

Come on now ride with me, come on now ride with me
Come on now ride with me, come on now ride with me
Come on now ride with me, just take a ride with me
Twenty twenty twenty twenty twenty twenty-first
Twenty twenty twenty twenty-first
Twenty twenty twenty twenty twenty
(The bright lights of the big city)
Twenty twenty twenty twenty twenty sound
(The bright lights of the big city)
Twenty twenty twenty twenty twenty vision
(The bright lights of the big city)
Come on now ride with me
Come on now ride with me

Paradise lyrics – Richard Ashcroft

You're just like I was
So full of love, so full of love
I feel you're taking me back
To all those feelings of yesterday
Dark and dusty tracks

How long can I stay here?
How long can I pray here?

You know we meet in another space
You turn around and I see your face
Oh what a fruit, what a tree you shall be
You'll be fed by the mountains, fed by the streams

(Set a sail) Set a sail for paradise (We'll leave in the morning)
(Set a sail) Set a sail to paradise (We'll leave in the morning)

I know when I'm losing control
I play I am the cosmos
And let the feelings roll

How long can I stay here?
How long can I pray here?

You know we meet in another place
You turn around and I see your face
Oh and what a fruit, what a tree you shall be
You'll be fed by the mountains, the crystal streams
Then we go for a walk
We hold hands and start to talk
Oh what a fruit, what a tree this love will be
You'll be fed by the mountains, fed by me

Set a sail for paradise (Leave in the morning)
Set a sail for paradise (Leave in the morning)
Set a sail for paradise
Leave in the morning
We can leave in the morning

Leave in the morning (Set a sail)
Leave in the morning
Leave in the morning (Set a sail)

God In The Numbers lyrics – Richard Ashcroft

Sometimes you hold the world in your hands
Sometimes the world it baffles you with plans
Some days you drift oh so easy and free
Some nights you sleep in blissful harmony

How do we leave the wreckage of our lives?
How do you leave the past out in the night?
Don't throw away the pictures that give you a smile
Don't throw away the memories that make you cry

I saw God in the numbers
I saw God in the numbers
I saw God in the numbers
I saw God in the numbers

I know that I could learn a little harder
There's so much that I want to read and know
But maybe I'm a little lazy
Maybe I don't really want to know

I saw God in the numbers
I saw God in the numbers (I saw God in the numbers)
I saw God in the numbers
I saw God in the numbers (I saw God in the numbers)
I saw God in the numbers
I saw God in the numbers (I saw God in the numbers)
I saw God in the numbers
I saw God in the numbers (I saw God in the numbers)

The more I learn of history the more I hate it
'Cos we're repeating things we did a thousand years ago
We're building palaces of fortune in the sky
There's an underclass dying whilst we smile

I saw God in the numbers (I saw God in the numbers)
I saw God in the numbers (I saw God in the numbers)
I saw God in the numbers (I saw God in the numbers)
I saw God in the numbers (I saw God in the numbers)
I saw God in the numbers (I saw God in the numbers)
I saw God in the numbers (I saw God in the numbers)
God in the numbers (I saw God in the numbers)
I saw God in the numbers (I saw God in the numbers)

(I don't wanna
I don't wanna
I don't wanna)

Science Of Silence lyrics – Richard Ashcroft

We are on a rock, spinning silently
But I'm safe when you're here with me
These questions I'm asking, they've been haunting me
I need some security, can't you see?
Her love was like a fountain rushing and pouring down
The darkness is putting out the light in me
She's a well to be dug, she's a university
A cosmic library - wait and see

We are on a rock, spinning silently
Won't you get close to me
We are on a rock, spinning in infinity
Won't you get close to me

Is it my genes that have made me?
Is it the things I took, is it the things I said
Does karma rule?
Well if there's a God well can you hear me now?
I am crying out, hoping you know
And in my baby's arms I need no faith
I need no words to define myself
And when I'm holding you, light rushing through
I wanna make it now, safe and straight

We are on a rock, spinning silently
Baby get a hold of me
We are on a rock, spinning in infinity
Baby consoling me

Oh I don't know when the fear's going to end
I don't know if my prayers are received - the ones I send
(We are on a rock, spinning silently)
I can't live in pain and fear
(We are on a rock, spinning in infinity)
Oh I see so much joy and it makes me scared
(We are on a rock, spinning silently)
Oh I don't know if my prayers are received, until the end
(We are on a rock, spinning in infinity)
Oh I guess it ain't offet for you to pray for peace
Oh baby I don't know where I'm going
All I know is that I need you as a friend

Man On A Mission lyrics – Richard Ashcroft

Hey, I heard you'd run away
But where you gonna run?
You got such a pretty face, and the world's a small, small place
'Cos when you're running on your own
You know you ain't like a rolling stone
Because a stone will find it's place
And when you hear this space
Just crawl and never run
And when you're work is done
Then you'll see the sun

So sing what you want I'm a man on a mission
No time to love, no time to be wasting
I wanna know if you feel above him
All the things you do that just make yourself feel undone, feel undone

Blues, I heard you caught the blues
And what was it they said
Have you got out of bed, have you got out of that?
I know a headspace that you don't
I will - you cannot and you don't
A fortune has been made on all the illness they made
And then we've got to pay for the drugs to take it away
And then you're going to find there's nothing in your mind
That you don't already know, that you ain't already seen
Do you live in a dream?

Sing your song, and don't you cause trouble
Man on a mission there's a man in a bubble but
I wanna know if you feel above him
All the things you do that just make yourself feel undone, feel undone

Sing your song, and don't you cause trouble
Man on a mission there's a man in a bubble and
Play your cards, throw your dice
You get a piece of land and a piece of advice

No time to be wasting there's no time to be wasted
No time to be wasting there's no time to get wasted
No time to be wasting always time to get wasted
No time to be wasting there's no time to get wasted

There's always time to get wasted (There's no time to waste)
There's always time to get wasted (There's no time to waste)
There's always time to get wasted (There's no time to waste)
There's always time to get wasted (There's no time to waste)
There's always time to get wasted (No time to waste)
There's always time to get wasted (No time to waste)
They've got me wasting time (No time to waste)
Got me wasting time (No time to waste)
They got me wasting time (No time to waste)
Got me wasting time (No time to waste)

Running Away lyrics – Richard Ashcroft

Don't drink me I'm like turpentine
Make you blind, burn your insides
If I don't know me then I don't know you
Can't figure out what I'm supposed to do

I ain't running away from my mind this time
I ain't running away from my mind this time

There's a killer in me and a killer in you
A little talent but a lot would do
If I don't know me then I don't know you
I don't know why I do the things I do

I ain't running away from my mind this time
I ain't running away from my mind this time
I ain't running away from my mind this time
I ain't running away from my mind this time

Too stressed to eat, too tired to sleep
Alien to all you meet

It's the season of the witch, it's the season of the spin
And nobody knows what state we're in
It's the season of the witch, it's the season of the spin
And nobody knows the trouble we're in
It's the season of the witch, it's the season of the spin

Lord I've Been Trying lyrics – Richard Ashcroft

Lord, I've been trying
Trying to keep myself from crying
And it gets hard, there's no use denying
There's been some nights when I did a little lying

Sure feels like I've been here before
Yes it sure feels like I've been here before

Captain tell me where I've been,
Are there waves left there for me?
Is there something left to see?
Is there something left to be?
Oh I know that I'm holding on but I've got time to grow
Alright, alright, alright
Said it's alright, now

Days that I've been spending
And all these blues - they're never ending
And it gets hard, and life will go on again
Gonna shake off these blues, I'm leaving them now

Sure feels like I've been here before
Yes it sure feels like I've been here before

Captain tell me where I've been,
Are there waves left there for me?
Can you see the warning sign
Flashing there in my mind?
My mind is free and I'm talking up to you - I say
"Alright, alright, alright"

(I've been trying)
It feels good, it feels good, it feels good, it feels good, it feels good
(To keep my soul from crying)
My love is alright now,
(I've been trying)
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it feels right
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it feels right

Nature Is The Law lyrics – Richard Ashcroft

Old river and your
Restless wonder and your
Graceful leisure rolling to the sea
How many men have stood like I am
Gazing out and wishing for someone
Some are living and
Some are dead and
Some are hiding, waiting for the sun

Nature is the law, baby
Nature is the law, now baby now
Nature is the law, baby
Nature is the law, now baby now

The old river with your
Restless swagger and your
Graceful wonder flowing to the sea
I am begging you to hold me and throw me in and
Tell me when I will find my peace
Some are dead endings
Some are living and then
Some are waiting for the sun

Nature is the law, baby
Nature is the law, now baby now
Nature is the law, baby
Nature is the law, now baby now
Nature is the law, baby
Nature is the law, now baby now
Restless wonder roll into the sea
Nature is the law, baby
Nature is the law, now baby now
Restless wonder flow into the sea

Nature is the law, baby
Nature is the law, now baby now
Nature is the law, baby
Nature is the law, now baby now

Nature is the law, baby
Nature is the law, now baby now
Restless wonder roll into the sea
Nature is the law, baby
Nature is the law, now baby now
Restless wonder roll into the sea

Nature is the law, baby
Nature is the law, now baby now
Restless wonder flow into the sea
(Some are dead)
Nature is the law, baby
(Some are buried)
Nature is the law, now baby now
(Some are waiting)
Restless wonder roll into the sea

Nature is the law, baby
Nature is the law, now baby now
Restless wonder roll into the sea

The Miracle lyrics – Richard Ashcroft

This song believes you're a miracle
Don't believe in the cynical
And if you can hear it too, you better move along
You see time you feel it slip away
Man, you better get a plan today
Karma coming to get you down
You better jump out of the way

It's gonna be a long, long road
Gonna be a million paths to sow
Gonna be trouble on the way
Gonna get your fair share of the pain
And there's gonna be laughter and joy
Gonna be friends that you're gonna destroy
And there's gonna be family that don't exist
And there's gonna be people that you wished you'd never missed - just like...

Oh, I love the innocent
The way they see things is the end
Oh, I hope you see them too
I'm in danger of flipping my sideline wall
Hoping that you don't hear me fall
'Cos the echo is gonna hit you one day
You'd better jump out of the way, yeah

Gonna be a long, long road
Gonna be a million paths to sow
Gonna be trouble on the way
Gonna get your fair share of the pain
But there's gonna be laughter and joy
Gonna be things that you wanna destroy
There's gonna be family that don't exist
And there's gonna be people that you know you'll never miss -
just like...

(I must be dreaming) oh just like...

Dream on dreamer, dream on dreamer, dream on dreamer,
(I must be dreaming)
Dream on dreamer, dream on dreamer, dream on dreamer,
(I must be dreaming)
Dream on dreamer, dream on dreamer, dream on dreamer,
(Too busy dreaming)

Dream on dreamer, dream on dreamer, dream on dreamer, dream on dreamer

Dream on dreamer, dream on dreamer, dream on dreamer, dream on dreamer

"Alone With Everybody" (2000)




A Song For The Lovers lyrics – Richard Ashcroft

I spend the night
Yeah looking for my insides in a hotel room
Waiting for you

Were gonna make it tonight
Yeah something in the air tells me the time is right
So we'd better get it on

And DJ, play a song for the Lovers, tonight
Please, play a song for the lovers, tonight

Don't wanna wait
Lord I've been waiting all my life but I'm too late again
I know but I was scared

Can't you see
I'm moving like a train into some foreign land
I ain't Got a Ticket for this ride but I will

Ooh, play a song for the Lover, tonight
DJ, play a song for the Lover, tonight
DJ, play a song for the Lovers, tonight
Please play a song for the Lovers, tonight

Can't stop looking back no no

One more for the lovers

Oh brother won't you lend a hand
I'm alone in a room and I'm waiting for love
I don't know when this trains gonna stop
But I'm telling you friend
I don't want to get up

I Get My Beat lyrics – Richard Ashcroft

I get my beat with you
When we see things through
And I think about you all the time

Who the winners in the game were playing
I don't even think they know
Who the losers and how much their paying
I don't even think they know

I need to hear the truth
From the soul of you
Chase the moments we can share

Who the winners in the game were playing
I don't even think they know
Who the losers and how much their paying
I don't even think they know

They got time
They got life
Take and take your time

I got to hear the sound of the morning song
As the light plays with your head
I'm blowing smoke and
I'll feel so damn fine
I know you care

Who the winners in the game were playing
I don't even think they know
Who the losers and how much their paying
I don't even think they know

Brave New World lyrics – Richard Ashcroft

Into the brave new world
I hope I see you on the other side
Of this changing world

Baby when my ship pulls in
I try to believe in anyone
Look at the state I'm in.

But for now I'm just sitting at the table
Hearing songs
Wishing I was able, stable
nah nah nah nah nah nah [x3]
I hope I see you on the other side [x2]

Brother don't try to find
Don't try to believe in anyone
For I would change your mind

Baby when my ship pulls in
I try to believe in anyone
Look at the state I'm in, I'm fine

But for now I'm just sitting at the table
Hearing songs
Wishing I was able, stable
nah nah nah nah nah nah [x6]
I hope I see you on the other side [x6]

But for now I'm just sitting at the table Hearing songs
Wishing I was able, stable
Brave new world [x3]
nah nah nah nah nah nah [x6]
I hope I see you on the other side [x6]

New York lyrics – Richard Ashcroft

Are you tuning in [x4]

And I wanted to go
Half my life
And I feel kind of strange
Like I never lived that life

And I'm trying hard
To control my heart
And I always want to know
And I always want to go

New York are you tuning in
New York big city of dreams
New York oh what a city
New York
Are you tuning in [x4]

There's now time to unpack, yea
Let's get straight out on the street
And feel no inhibitions
This city was built for me

And my head is full of questions
When did I feel this good
In the arms of my lover
Burning through the night of New York

And its funny how time flies
In the city that never sleeps
It's getting after hours
And I'm feeling the heat

I'm almost dead and buried
The day nearly done
But I want to keep on going
I'm going to kiss the sun in New York

And I'm feeling kind of selfish
Cause I'm just flying home
I've been busy on your island
Just having my own fun
It's an English tradition

Find some money make some time
Get busy on your island
And slowly lose our minds in New York

You On My Mind In My Sleep lyrics – Richard Ashcroft

You ain't ever seen
The way to find your dream
Forget what's within within
Cos who you've been you've been

If all we lose is the skin
I'm pulling you under within
We're gonna make this life together

The symptoms are too deep
I got you on my mind in my sleep
you on my mind in my sleep

Do you know how hard I'll try
To lose this foolish pride
Can you take me as I am
Can you understand me I'm changing now

If all we lose is the skin
I'm pulling you under within
We're gonna make this life together

The symptoms are too deep
I got you on my mind in my sleep
you on my mind in my sleep

I got you on my mind in my sleep
Heavenly body

Crazy World lyrics – Richard Ashcroft

There's nothing really wrong with the state of your ambition
The whole world is crumbling
Cos your crazy vision

All wars are boys and death is what you hate most
Come on baby
Don't you want to get a new size
new size [x3]

It's a crazy world
For a mixed up boy and a mixed up girl [x2]

So you got no god
You got no love
To tell me off
But you've got that spirit
So please stick with it
This world wouldn't be
A world without you in it
Please Shelter Me [x2]

Upon this Crazy World

It's chewing on my brain like a desert train locus
I find it hard to love
I find it hard to focus

The whole world is crumbling
Cos their crazy visions
Come on baby
Don't you want to get a new size
new size [x3]

It's a crazy world
For a mixed up boy and a mixed up girl [x2]

So you got no god
You got no love
To tell me off
But you've got that spirit
So please stick with it
This world wouldn't be
A world without you in it
Please Shelter Me [x2]

Upon this Crazy World

You got to keep your spirit (please stick with it)
There ain't a world without you in it (choose the spirit)
Keep that spirit (please stick with it)
There ain't a world without you in it (choose the spirit)

So you got no god
You got no love
To tell me off
But you've got that spirit
So please stick with it
This world wouldn't be
A world without you in it
Please Shelter Me [x2]

Shelter me [x4]
yeah

Ohhhhh in this crazy world
For a mixed up boy and a mixed up girl [x10]

On A Beach lyrics – Richard Ashcroft

I have swam those raging seas
Washed up by an ocean who had tired of me
How I survive

I will never know
This wreck got a home
And a whole lot of hope

I'm out on a beach
Sat on a rock
Thinking of you and the love I've got
I saw the devil's servant
I sent her home
Said bring me your master
I don't want his dog

I'm on fire
I'm full of love and new desire
I'm on fire
I'm full of love and new desire
Full of love and new desire

I lit my fire blew my conch
Nobody comes
I built my boat from bamboo
But it sunk
I looked at the sky for vapour trails
Nobody comes
I wrote your name on a tree
Along with the days this is taking you away from me

I'm out on a beach
Sat on a rock
Thinking of you and the love I've got
I saw the devil's servant
I sent her home
And said bring me your master
I don't want his dog

Well I'm on fire
I'm full of love and new desire
I'm on fire
I'm full of love and new desire
I ain't afraid to die
Ain't afraid to die
And here we go
Ain't afraid to

I'm out on a beach
Sat on a rock
Thinking of you and the love I've got
I saw the devil serpant
I sent him home
And said bring me your master I don't want his dog

I'm out on a beach
Sat on a rock
Thinking of you and the love I've got
I saw the devil's servant
I sent her home
And said bring me your master
I don't want his do

C'mon People (We're Making It Now) lyrics – Richard Ashcroft

Sometimes I feel like I can't move on
Nothing in life is turning me on

But I still see clearly
When I see you smiling

You know nothing seems to fit
I couldn't see my way through the shit

When every single second of my waking day
Was thinking of you
Thinking of you
You never know

That I am alive
I am alive
I wanna grow

There are so many things I can do
Just like falling in love with you
Take my hand now, understand me
You can come here too

C'mon people, we're making it now
Yeah, yeah, yeah
C'mon people, we're making it now
Yeah, yeah, yeah

But today I worked it out
I got something I can shout about
Someone who believes in all the things I'm thinking

But where have you gone
Where have you gone
I'll never know

And I am alive
I am alive
I wanna grow

There are so many things I can do
Just like falling in love with you
Take my hand now, understand me
You can come here too

C'mon people we're making it now
If only you could be with us

Everybody lyrics – Richard Ashcroft

Cold morning
I was looking out it was a cold day

Songbird was drinking from a table
But songbird you just flew away

Everybody's gotta feel the weight of death sometime
And find out what it's like to be left behind
Sometimes you don't get a chance to ask where or why
So let it break the magic beauty of your fragile mind
And let it break the magic beauty of your fragile mind

It's not a sign of weakness
When you're searching for the places where the memories flow

There may come a time when you rearrange and may leave those memories
You've gotta let them go

Everybody's gotta feel the weight of death sometime
And find out what it's like to be left behind
Sometimes you don't get a chance to ask where or why
Let it break the magic beauty of your fragile mind [x4]

Everybody's gotta feel the weight of death sometime
And find out what it's like to be left behind
Sometimes you don't get a chance to ask where or why
Let it break the magic beauty of your fragile mind [x4]

Stay strong
Move on
Keep on

Stay strong
Move on
Keep on
