Are You Ready? lyrics - Richard Ashcroft

Ooh Ooh Yeah
Ooh Ooh Yeah
Ooh Ooh Yeah

Are you ready?
Ooh, are you ready for the day?
He's gonna come back down to earth
I hope you're gonna pray
That you're with us
Mmm, as we beam him right up
He's got a little place for me
In his loving cup

Are you ready?
Ooh, ready to see
I'm out here in Babylon
Come out here with me

Are you ready?
Ah, are you ready?
Ah, are you ready?
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Ah, are you ready?
Ah, are you ready?
Are you ready?
Are you ready?

Please, I'm ready
'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
Ooh, don't you hear my pain
I'm out here in Babylon
Waiting for the day
Are you ready?
Ah, I'm ready
Ah, I'm ready
Yes I'm ready
Yes I'm ready
Ah, I'm ready
Ooh yes, I'm ready
Ooh I'm ready
Yes I'm ready
Yes I'm ready
Yes I'm ready

Ah, I'll paint the town with blood
I've been losing so damn much
Since I'm feeling love with people
Ah yeah, the whole damn human race
I wanna put you in my arms
And give you a love embrace
I'm ready
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
I'm getting pretty tired down here
Oh, please break the spell

Ah Jesus, sweet Jesus can't you hear?
Please don't leave us all alone
Living here with fear
I'm ready
Yes I'm ready
I'm ready
Yes I'm ready
Yes I'm ready
I'm ready
Yes I'm ready
Yes I'm ready
Yes I'm ready
Yes I'm ready

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)
Ahhh (mind – soul - body)

Yes, it’s life (mind – soul - body)
At the end you know - that it's light (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)

‘Cause that's life (mind – soul - body)
And in the end you know that it's light (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

How Deep Is Your Man? lyrics - Richard Ashcroft

Came to New York, it’s all I need
Tell me the beat, so I can sleep
All night long, all night long, all night long

Who is gonna cross the road for me when I’m in trouble man? (I know) I’m in trouble man (I know)
Who is gonna cross the road for me (who knows?) when I’m in trouble man? (soul) I’m in trouble man

Yeah I like the way you look, let’s go all night
This is my baby, make everything alright
And I can’t sleep - the city’s too clear - I wanna keep my focus, see it again
I wanna get my balance, yeah feel alright, pick up at night
All day, all night, 24-7
I ain’t ever gonna stop - when I get this feeling I just wanna rock

Who is gonna cross the road for me when I’m in trouble man? (I know) I’m in trouble man (I know)
Who is gonna cross the road for me (who knows?) when I’m in trouble man? (I know), I’m in trouble man

How deep is your man?
How deep is your man?
How deep is your man?
Has he got elan - got the real elan?
Got the real style, Steve McQueen vibe?- I’ll drive for miles
Who is gonna cross the road for me when I’m in trouble man? (I know) I’m in trouble man (I know)
Who is gonna cross the road for me (who knows?) when I’m in trouble man? (in trouble) I’m in trouble man
Who is gonna cross the road for me? (for me) ‘cause I’m in trouble man, oh I’m in trouble man
Oh-oh, I’m in trouble man – aah-aah yeah, my-my-my-my - Take me down

She Brings Me The Music lyrics - Richard Ashcroft

Just walking the street, and what do I find
People walking in the wrong way
Grab something to eat, praying to her
Baby some day, somewhere
She brings me the music, and I am slowly falling down again
She brings me the music, and my feet won’t touch the ground, oh again
Ah, logic can't prove it, and I don’t know where I am bound
She brings me the music
And now I’m floating in her sound, and now I’m floating in her sound

I love this town, but I’m flying home
You know I take a little on my way
Well boys, it’s been sweet
Love and death – we deal with our shit in our own ways
She brings me the music
And I am slowly falling in her grace
Man she don’t prove it
She just walks in a room, you just see her face
She brings me the music
And I am slowly falling down again
She don’t have to prove it
‘Cause I’m falling in her sound
And I am a-falling in her sound
And I’m a-falling, falling, oh baby
For you, falling, falling, oh baby
Just a calling you, calling you, oh baby
I’m a calling, calling you, oh yeah
Oh I’m a calling you, calling you, oh baby
I’m just calling you, calling you oh baby
I’m just calling you calling you, all night
I’m just a-calling, calling
Through the darkness, I’m a calling you calling you
Oh bring me home
I’m a calling you calling you, bring me home
I know I’m calling for you
Now bring me home
Take me home, take me home, take me home, take me home
Take me home, take me home, take me home, take me home
Take me home, take me home, take me home, take me home
Take me home, take me home
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Yeah – oh yeah

Royal Highness lyrics - Richard Ashcroft

Yeah baby

You know this feeling when you catch a wave
You wanna ride it to the end of your days
We’re busy doing it, we’re busy making it
We’re busy shaping it, creating it and making it
I know the feeling when you’re so damn numb
Life passes you by - yeah you’re feeling a blues day
We’re busy doing it, we’re busy making it
I’m busy shaping it, creating it and making it

Now be sweet (ah baby) - let me ride
I wanna ride in my mind to the morning sunshine, yeah
Now be sweet - let me, let me ride
I wanna ride in my mind to the, the morning sunshine

Yeah

You know the feeling when you hit a wave
You wanna ride it to the end of your days
I’m busy doing it, I’m busy making it
I’m busy shaping it, creating it, not taking it

Now be sweet - let me, let me ride (you know you gotta)
I wanna ride in my mind to the morning sunshine - ride
Now be sweet - let me, let me ride
I wanna ride in my mind to the, the morning sunshine
Now be sweet - let me, let me ride
Let me ride in my mind to the, the morning sunshine
Now be sweet - let me (yeah), let me ride
Let me ride in my mind (all night) to the, the morning sunshine - alright

You know, you know, you know, you know you got me going now
Oh oh oh, oh you know you got me going now
