Precious Stone lyrics - Richard Ashcroft

Life is a book and then we find the pen
Used to feel like the walls are closing in
You made decisions that you never thought you could
You've been crying in the night, yeah, yeah, yeah

You precious stone
Washed up, feelin' low
Gonna clean you up, make you feel
Like you know the answer

I've got the keys to the jail, yeah (with this love)
A little love never fails yeah (overcome)
I've got the keys to the jail, yeah (with this love)
A little love never fails, yeah

You've been all the things that you never thought you were
You saw the devil in the night and it haunts you
Don't think about the things you can never answer
You gotta live, you gotta learn how to to love

I say
You precious stone
Washed up, feelin' low
Gonna clean you up, make you shine, make you gleam, yeah
You precious stone
Why we're stuck, you don't know
Gonna clean you up, make you feel
Like you know the answer

I've got the keys to your jail, yeah (with this love)
A little love never fails, yeah (overcome)
I've got the keys to your jail, yeah (with this love)
A little love never ever fails, yeah
You're the one
With this love
Overcome
With this love

You precious stone
Washed up, feelin' low
Gonna clean you up, make you shine, make you glow
You precious stone
Washed up, you don't know
Gonna clean you up, make you shine, make you whole
You precious stone
On the beach, you're alone
Gonna clean you up, make you shine, make you gleam, yeah
You precious stone
Washed up on the beach yeah
Gonna clean you up, make you feel
Like you know the answer

The Direction lyrics - Richard Ashcroft

Seeing the world through imposters eyes
Against my life it'd feel real nice
Walking down corridors of ice
I know that it's thin but it still feels right

Slipping in and out of time
I'm glad you're in here with this rhyme
Life can be quick yet life can be short
Don't lose my breath on any small talk
Yeah live the walk walk the talk

And I want you to feel
These messages that seem so real
And life passes before you know
The direction that you want to go

Look what I did to my paradise

The captain got lost but he had a vice
And now he's lost it he don't know what to do
He's lost his ship and he's lost his crew
He's lost his crew

And I want you to feel
These messages that seem so real
And life passes before you know
The direction that you want to go

Guess that's always been the same
Guess that's always been the same
Guess that's always been the same
Guess that's always been the same

And I want you to feel
These messages that seem so real
And life passes before you know
The direction that you want to go

The Journey lyrics - Richard Ashcroft

When she arrived she was bound
Yeah, at King's Cross
Oh, she can't see the light
She's in a steel box
She's feeling scared
She's battered blue
Don't know where she is
She is servicing you

She lies down (she lies down)
And thinks of England
She thinks of England
She starts to cry
And thinks of England
She thinks of England

She's seen a doctor dentist shrink
But not the way that you think
She's seen all walks of life
But never got out of herself at night
She's walking scared
Through the blood and shit
The human race
What's become of it?

She lies down
And thinks of England
She thinks of England
She starts to cry (she starts to cry)
And thinks of England
She thinks of England

Yeah, she lies down (the slave trade)
And thinks of England (she's crossed some borders)
She thinks of England
Yeah, she starts to cry (she starts to cry)
And thinks of England
She thinks of England

On the inside
Slave slave slave slave
With a heart
A soul and a body
Yeah, she's used
And she's used
Again
And again

Are you playing?
Could be a doctor
Could be a dentist
Could be an accountant
Where's the blood

Ooh, are you ready for the day?

In his loving cup

'Cause I've lived a life of sin
And I heard that us sinners
Have got a chance with Him
Suicidal, ooh yeah
Deep inside my soul
I've been praying there's somewhere else
For me to go

Come on people

And give you a love embrace

Oh, I aint no freedom train
Cos where we are heading
Yeah, there is no thing as pain
Yes I'm ready
Ooh I've had a season in hell

Living here with fear

Born Again lyrics - Richard Ashcroft

Cancel my subscription to the resurrection
Love is the law, pure perfection
I'm born again, yeah
Who said love was a losing game?
I've got light man, I feel no pain
Cause I'm born again, yeah

Now get up (mind – soul - body)
When you're on the floor, get up (mind – soul - body)
D’ya wanna fight some more, now get up (mind – soul - body)
Ahhh (mind, soul, body)

I saw Venus up in the sky
I turned down my head and Serena smiled
And I'm born again, yeah
I held the hand of a crying girl
Brooklyn tears, yeah I've felt the spell
I was born again, yeah

Now get up (mind – soul - body)
When you're on the floor, get up (mind – soul - body)
D’ya wanna fight some more, now get up (mind – soul - body)

There's no need to cry through the night (mind – soul - body)
Ahhh (mind – soul - body)

Now I'm a man who ain't afraid
I’ve destroyed my ego just to make the space
‘Cause I'm born again, yeah
And when I feel a melody
I get a righteous charge right through me
Yeah I'm born again, yeah
Now get up
When you're on the floor, just get up (mind – soul - body)
Don't wanna fight no more, now get up (mind – soul - body)
Ahhh (mind – soul - body)

America lyrics - Richard Ashcroft

This is the wild west, yeah

All this sex, pain, tears, joy – the universal language, this is music - are you tuning in?

Are you tuning in?

I’m sharper than a Leica lens, I have real grace, no money to spend

Spend, spend, spend, spend, spend spend, spend

I’ve been around the world I know there’s music, the united gnosis - oh gnosis, hypnosis

Oh in Tokyo, oh in London town - the same pain, same joy, same sound

Oh in London town - the same pain, same joy, same sound

America, America, I’m looking for you everywhere

Are you – the same pain, same joy, same sound?

America, America, I’m looking for you everywhere
Are you – the same pain, same joy, same sound?



For all the men who ever died trying to keep my soul alive

For all the sisters, all the saints who freed me from my chains

Music, music - now use it

Oh in Tokyo, oh, in London town - the same pain, same joy, same sound

Oh in London town -the same pain, same joy, same sound

America, America, I’m looking for you everywhere
Are you – the same pain, same joy, same sound?

America, America, I’m looking for you everywhere
Are you – the same pain, same joy, same sound?

America, America, I’m looking for you everywhere
Are you – the same pain, same joy, same sound?

America, America, I’m looking for you everywhere
Are you – the same pain, same joy, same sound?

America, America, I’m looking for you everywhere
Are you – the same pain, same joy, same sound?
America, America, I’m looking for you everywhere
Are you – the same pain, same joy, same sound?

America, America, I’m looking for you everywhere
Are you – the same pain, same joy, same sound?

America, America, I’m looking for you everywhere
Are you – the same pain, same joy, same sound?

America, America, I’m looking for you everywhere

Are you – the same pain, same joy, same sound?

America, America, I’m looking for you everywhere
Are you – the same pain, same joy, same sound?

This Thing Called Life lyrics - Richard Ashcroft

Oh, six strings, three chords, ah big dreams
And he don’t let me down (he never)
When the days of rain came (he was there)
He was there for me when I was in pain (in pain)
Yeah I needed a call, he was the real friend
Oh (got his words), he got the words when I’m feeling low
He’s like a skimming stone, like a rainbow
He’s my brother when I’m down when I’m in luck (he is)
He’s my brother when I’m down (Jesus Christ) and I’m out of luck
You know it’s only love so let’s come together (let’s come together)
A little redemptive pleasure (redemptive pleasure), hmmm-hmmmm

Let’s do this thing called life, (let’s do this thing)
Oh let’s try, (let’s try again)
Oh let’s try (let’s try)
Let’s do this thing called life (let’s do this thing)
Hmm let’s try (let’s try again, let’s try again)
Oh let’s try (let’s try)

Don’t have to swim with the tide (fishes)
Swim against the tide and find some hand to hold
Find somebody to show the light (lost in music)
Oh they’re out there in the matrix tonight (All these years)
Oh man I’ve seen so many pages of stories (the blues never ends)
That have drifted down rivers
And the paper, yeah gets lost in the sea, in the oceans
Oh Lord I’m a giver
Oh, it’s just a feeling (it’s just a feeling)
It’s just a feeling (it’s just a feeling)

Let’s do this thing called life, (let’s do this thing called life)
Oh let’s try, (let’s try again)
Oh let’s try (let’s try)
Let’s do this thing called life, (let’s do this thing)
Hmm let’s try, (let’s try again, let’s try again)
Oh let’s try (let’s try)

You gotta learn to swim against the tide
You gotta learn to drop your foolish pride
You gotta learn to know these things they’re dust
You gotta learn that misdeeds only rust.
You gotta learn the chains can open up (these genes survive)
And environment can fuck you up (the eyes)
You gotta learn that drugs don’t really work (more music)
Unless you know the ones that hurt
Oh babe let’s do it again (please baby)
I wanna put the record on and live it again (live it again)
I wanna rewind the tape, turn off the clocks
This is life now, undo my locks

Let’s do this thing called life, (let’s do this thing)
Oh let’s try, (let’s try it again)
Oh let’s try (oh-oh oh-oh let’s try)
Let’s do this thing called life, (I now you feel the pain)
Oh let’s try, (I know you feel the strain)
Oh let’s try (let’s fly)
She’s my brother, my mother, my sister, my mother, my father, ooh-ooh-aah
She’s my brother, my sister, my father, my father, my mother, o-ooh-ooh
(Free me now, please free me now, please hear me now)
Come on

Let’s do this thing called life, (yeah)
Oh let’s try, oh let’s try (let’s try)
(She’s my brother, my mother, my sister, my mother, my father, my mother)
Let’s do this thing called life, oh let’s try
Oooh let’s try (let’s try again, let’s try again)
(She’s my brother, my sister, my mother, my father, my brother)
Free me, yeah free me again, oh heal me again, free me, yeah heal me
Yeah free me, baby heal me, now free me, now heal me baby
(She’s my brother, my sister, my father, my mother, oh-oh-oh)
Free me, now heal me, now free me, now heal me, now free me, now heal me
Now free me, now heal me, now free me, now heal me, now free me, yeah heal me
Now free me, now heal me, yeah free me, yeah heal me
Let’s do this thing called life

Good Lovin' lyrics - Richard Ashcroft

Good loving in the morning
Like butter through your fingers
I feel a little strange - I hear a multitude of singers in my mind
The closer I get, the deeper the depression
Ah I just can’t let, let it go
The closer I get, the deeper your impression on me now
I won’t regret anything I do

We’re living in the moment
Where everything is clear
The pain disappears - a good season year
The closer I get, the deeper the depression
Ah I just can’t let, let it go
The closer I get, the deeper your impression on me now
I won’t regret anything I do

The closer I get, the deeper the depression
Ah I just can’t let, let it go
The closer I get, the deeper your impression on me now
I won’t regret anything I do

Good loving in the morning
The closer I get, the deeper the depression
(Good loving in the morning)
Ah I just can’t let, let it go
(Good loving in the morning)
The closer I get, the deeper your impression on me now
(Good loving in the morning)
I won’t regret, anything I do
(Good loving in the morning)
The closer I get
Good loving in the morning
(The deeper your impression on me now)
The closer I get
(Good loving in the morning)
The closer I get
(Good loving in the morning)
The closer I get
