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
