Out Of My Body lyrics - Richard Ashcroft

Out of the darkness, you saved me
I was alone, you came down to claim me
Out of the darkness, you saved me
Out of the darkness, yeah, you came down to claim me

There'll be no heroes on this battlefield
They'll destroy you
Now don't go looking for your Watergate
Who employs you, baby, they'll exploit you

Man I'm not afraid
Don't need a master
I know what you're after
I'll take my chances

Man I'm not afraid
No ticker tape
Cuz when you find the truth
It'll rock ya to your roots

Out of my body
Out of my mind
Free of control
The way I like it

Out of my body
Out of my mind
Out of this world
Out of time

Would you just walk by on the other side?
Just like those others?
Are you asleep, are you still alive?
Do you still wonder?

Man I'm not afraid
Don't need that master
I know what you're after
I'll take my chances

Man I'm not afraid
No ticker tape
Cuz when you find the truth
It'll rock ya to your roots

Out of my body
Out of my mind
Free of control
The way I like it

Out of my body
Out of my mind
Out of this world
Out of time

And tell everybody, write it up in the sky
Telling you know the reasons why
And tell everybody, write it up in the sky
Telling you know it's one big lie

Out of the darkness, you saved me
I was alone, you came down to claim me
We went walking together
You whispered mysteries that have been here forever

Oh Lord I want to know now
Why this pain it just seems to grow, yeah
Out of the darkness, you saved me
I was lonely, you came down to claim me

Out of my body
Out of my mind
Free of control
The way I like it

Out of my body
Out of my mind
Out of this world
Free of time

And tell everybody, write it up in the sky
Telling you know - spell out the lie
And tell everybody, write it up in the sky
Telling you know it's one big lie, yeah

Oh now
Oh yeah
I'm free of control
Now don't go looking for your Watergate
They'll destroy you

Are you asleep, are you still alive?
(I'm free of control)
Do you still wonder?

This Is How It Feels lyrics - Richard Ashcroft

I do not own You
Don't wanna control You
oh, You're my vision
How foolish I've been

I'll paint a picture
You'll be the victor
There's no illusion
I'm here to choose it

This is how it feels, when
love it gets too real, yeah
Oh, I got no ransom
I had my chance man

This is how it feels when
Love it gets so real, yeah
Are You still a holding
Onto what we had?

Oh. She went straight for my veins
Now I'm back home again
And I'm waiting for
the sun to come again

She went down straight through my veins
Now I'm back home again
I've been waiting for
the sun to come again

I can't control You
Don't wanna own You
'cos You're My vision
How foolish I've been

You were the witness
To all my darkest days
I'd said I'm sorry but it
Can't take that pain away

This is how it feels, when
Love it gets too real, yeah
Oh, I got no ransom
I had my chance man

This is how it feels when
Love it gets so real, yeah
Are You still a holding
Onto what we had?

She went down straight through my vein
Now I'm back home again
'n' I'll be waiting for
the sun to shine again

She went straight for my veins
'n' Now I am back home again
I'll be praying for
the sun to come again

Ahh. Straight for my veins
Now I am back home again
Oh. I've been praying for
the sun to come again
She went straight through my veins
Now I am back home again
Oh. I've been praying for
the sun to come again
Oh. Straight through my veins
I'm back home again
I'll be waiting for
the sun to come again

They Don't Own Me lyrics - Richard Ashcroft

Is it true what they say?
Nothing in life is free
Are you looking this way
Surely this can't be

I know that you
ain't like the other ones
March to a different beat, babe
Banging a different drum

I think I told you before that
They don't
They don't own me
I think I told you before that
They don't
They don't own me

I ain't playing their games
I am nobody's fool
Yeah, I know how it feels
I broke those rules

Are you walking with me?
Or are you running with them?
Are you ever free?
Is this something that you understand?

I think I told you before that
They don't
They don't own me
I think I told you before that
They don't
They don't own me

They don't
They don't own me

Is it really that strange
to try and find some peace?
Is it so opaque
That you still can't see?

Them, right up above
I wonder what they can hear
I guess we all mess up, baby
Mmm, we're here, then disappear

I think I told you before that
They don't
They don't own me
I think I told you before that
They don't
They don't own me

I think I told you before that
They don't
They don't own me
I think I told you before, yeah
They don't
They don't own me

Hold On lyrics - Richard Ashcroft

Hold on, people hold on
Hold on, people hold on

I'm in there superstitious
And life can be so vicious
Learning on your own
Can turn your heart to stone

Apocalyptic mind
My head was full of sorrow
Whispered words of logic
Things I need to learn

I feel like we are the only ones alive
I feel like we are the only ones alive

So hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, you know there ain't no lot of time
But I know that we can make it
You better hold on
You better hold on

Untill you get some pepper spray
The water canons on the way
Fighting on your own
Can turn your heart to stone

And truth is on the march again
Wipe those tears away
Apocalyptic mind
She soothe me with my soul

I feel like we are the only ones alive
I feel like we are the only ones alive

So hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, you know there ain't no lot of time
But I know that we can make it
You better hold on

So hold on, hold on, hold on
You better hold on, you know there ain't no lot of time
But I know that we can make it
You better hold on
You better hold on
You better hold on
You better hold on

I feel like we are the only ones alive
I feel like we are the only ones alive
I feel like we are the only ones alive
I feel like we are the only ones alive

Well you better hold on
You better hold on, hold on
You better hold on, you know there ain't no lot of time
But I know that we can make it

You better hold on, so hold on
You better hold on, hold on
You better hold on, you know there ain't no lot of time
But I know that we can make it

Untill you get some pepper spray
The water canons on the way
Apocalyptic mind
She soothe me with my soul

I feel like we are the only ones alive
Apocalyptic mind
I feel like we are the only ones alive

These People lyrics - Richard Ashcroft

Imagine your life without a melody
This sweet love song for you for me to sing
Imagine my life without your morning smile
Your look of love that says, ‘stay awhile’

These people, sent to test us
Sent to play with our minds
Come on baby
We’re a little stronger
I know we can survive

Oh yeah
Moving through a different part of our lives
On a raging sea they say that man survived
We move them to a different part of our heart
Come on baby now
Let us start

These people, sent to test us
Sent to play with our minds
Come on baby
We’re a little stronger
I know we can survive

I, I know we can survive
Oh Oh Oh

Could there be life without a melody?
A soixante-neuf without the erotique?
Imagine my life without your morning smile
That look of love that says, ‘stay awhile’

These people, sent to test us
Sent to play with our minds
Come on baby
We’re a little stronger
I know we can survive
(I know we can survive)

These people, sent to test us
Sent to play with our minds
Come on baby
We’re a little stronger
I know we can survive
(I know we can survive)
I know we can survive
(I know we can survive)
(I know we can survive)

I feel like a number one again
I’m like I’m born again
Hand in hand in the sun
Hand in hand in the sun
Hand in hand in the sun
Ooh yeah

Everybody Needs Somebody To Hurt lyrics - Richard Ashcroft

Everybody needs somebody to hurt it seems
Caught in the middle of life
It's just a riddle full of bad dreams
Everybody needs somebody to hurt it seems
Caught in the middle of life
It's just a riddle full of bad dreams
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh)
(Ah ah ah ah ah ah)

Waiting for someone to help me
When someone will give you a hand
You feel lonely at work
Nobody understands
You feel lonely on the train
But you don't make a sound
You keep it all inside
One day it's gonna come flooding out
Everybody needs somebody to hurt it seems
Caught in the middle of life
It's just a riddle full of bad dreams
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh)

You know each tear you cry
You tear yourself in two
(Ah ah ah ah ah ah)
We hurt with tears
And still we tear ourselves in two

Silence penetrates ya
And the walls are closing in
Looking at that phone
Waiting, just waiting for someone to ring
You know you could be a good friend
You could treat ‘em well
But no one seems to be caught in your magic spell

Everybody finds somebody to hurt, it seems
Caught in the middle of life
It’s just a riddle full of bad dreams
Everybody finds somebody to hurt, it seems
Caught in the middle of life
It’s just a riddle full of bad dreams

(Oh oh oh, oh oh oh)
(Oh yeah)
(Ah ah ah ah ah ah)
(Oh yeah)
(Ah ah ah ah ah ah)
(Ah ah ah ah ah ah)
(Ah ah ah ah ah ah)

Picture Of You lyrics - Richard Ashcroft

I've got a picture of you
The glory of you
In my mind
On a hot summer's day, babe
You know you blew them away, yeah
With your smile
With your smile
It makes me cry
Just some dumb guy
Emotions lost in my prime
Guess I'm a little numb
Yeah look what I've done

Hm hm hm hm hm, hm hm hm hm hm
Mmh mmh mmh mmh

I watch the rolling tide
Call some friends of mine
Then I get caught up
Then I'll call you up
I got a picture of you, oh-oh
The glory of you, yeah yeah
It makes me smile
It makes me cry
Oooh, it makes me cry
Mmmh, ooh ooh ooh
It makes cry

Black Lines lyrics - Richard Ashcroft

Who put those black lines under your eyes?
Let me replace them with a smile
Letters from lovers that you don't read
Toys for children you've not conceived

Yes it's real life
Sometimes it gets so hard
You wonder why you try
Makes no sense at all
So you just turn out your light
Try to figure out
What's going on in your mind
Makes no sense at all, oh
You know and I know too, ah
You gotta see it through until the morning
I can wait until the morning
So you close your eyes
You think of death
Nothing left in your head till the morning
Can you wait until the morning?

Sweet bird of fortune I had to let you go
This gilded cage yeah, couldn't hold that soul
So who put those black lines under your eyes?
Let me replace them with a smile

Yes it's real life
Sometimes it gets so hard
You wonder why you try
Makes no sense at all
So you just turn out your light
Try to figure out
What's going on in your mind
Makes no sense at all
Yes it’s real life
Sometimes it gets so hard
You wonder why you try
Makes no sense at all
So you just turn out your light
Try to figure out
What's going on in your mind
Makes no sense at all

Oh, you know and I know too
Oh gotta see it through till the morning
I pray until the morning
So you close your eyes
Think of death
Think of yourself somewhere better in the morning
Still praying for the morning
I can wait until the morning
Let's wait until the morning
Still praying for the morning
I can wait until the morning
I can wait until the morning
I can wait until the morning
Ooooooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooooooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooooooh ooh ooh ooh

Ain't The Future So Bright lyrics - Richard Ashcroft

You never thought it'd come to you
You thought those days had gone
Yeah you've been low
You've been confused
Forgotten what you've done
There's many corners still left to turn
Many plates left to spin
When will we ever learn
Life ain't just about the pain

Yeah it s been a long time
Since I felt that sunshine
Lord I can't believe it
I'm too numb to feel it
I run on a runway
Thought ‘I wanna fly away’
Keep that narrow life
There's something in your mind
(Let's talk about it)

Ain't the future so bright now you're in love
Oh yeah, let's talk about it
Ain't the future so bright now you're in love
Oh yeah

(Oh oh yeah, ooh oh yeah)
(future love, future love)
(Oh oh yeah, ooh oh yeah)
(Future love, future love)

There's so many things that you wanna learn
But you know there's no time
When all the world falls apart
Without a reason or a rhyme

Yeah it's been a long time
Since I felt that sunshine
Lord I can't believe it
I'm too numb to feel it
I run on a runway
Thought ‘I wanna fly away’
Keep that narrow life
It's you who's in my mind

Ain't the future so bright now you're in love
Oh yeah, let's talk about it
Ain't the future so bright now you're in love
Oh yeah, let's talk about it

The grief of, yeah, the candle
Purveyed and lit by the Father, yeah
Look at the trap they laid as they're acting out
Suspending the truth and all
We can live forever
Oh we can live right now
Turn up the heat, oh
And don't make a sound
I'll bear witness to your crimes
Oh, I'll be your mirror
Oh, I'll forgive ya

Ain't the future so bright now you're in love
Oh yeah, let's talk about it
Ain't the future so bright now you're in love
Oh yeah, let's talk about it
Ain't the future so bright now you're in love
(Ain't the future so bright now we're in love?)
Oh yeah let's talk about it (are we in love?)
(Are we in love, are we in love?)
Ain't the future so bright now you're in love
(Ain't the future so bright now we're in love)
Oh yeah let's talk about it
(Are we in love, are we in love?)

Ain't the future so bright?

Songs Of Experience lyrics - Richard Ashcroft

Look at your life
Who's shining on you?
You've got a lot of things going on
Open your mind
Can't you see what is new?
The world is changing
Are you moving on? Ah-ha

You're like me (you're like me)
You can flip in a second (oh oh oh)
Step into rage what d’you reckon? (oh oh oh)
Serenade or use a weapon
You're like me (you're like me)
Your scars are like your badges (oh oh oh)
Climb up into these branches (oh oh oh)
I guess that's the way your life is

Ooh-ooh, how do you know these things?
She said ‘ooh ooh, how do you know these things?’
Cause these are songs of experience baby
Songs of experience (oh oh oh)
Songs of experience baby (oh oh oh)

Don't be afraid (don't be afraid)
Fear does you no good
It will take you for all you own
And look at those stars
Do they still shine on you?
The world is changing
It’s a-moving on, Ah-ha

You're like me (you're like me)
You can flip in a second (oh oh oh)
Step into rage what d’you reckon (oh oh oh)
Serenade or choose a weapon
You're like me (you're like me)
Your scars are like your badges (oh oh oh)
Climb up into these branches (oh oh oh)
Tell me where I’m lacking

Ooh ooh, how do you know these things?
She said ‘ooh ooh, how do you know these things?’
Cause these are songs of experience baby
Songs of experience (oh oh oh)
Songs of experience baby, oh oh oh-oh
Cause these are songs of experience baby (baby)
Oh-oh (all right)
Songs of experience baby (baby)
Songs of experience (all right)
These are songs of experience baby (baby)
Songs of experience
Songs of experience baby (baby)
(Oh my my my my my)
(Yeah, yeah)
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)

How The West Was Lost lyrics - Richard Ashcroft

Ah, ah ah ah ah ah ah,
ah ah, oh oh oh oh oh oh...

I was made to fail

Ah, ah ah ah ah ah ah,
ah ah, oh oh oh oh oh oh...

A subtle fail

Ah, ah ah ah ah ah ah, ah ah, oh oh oh oh oh oh

I search relentlessly, for the flower, for the power to carry on

Ah, ah ah ah ah ah ah,
ah ah, oh oh oh oh oh oh...
