The Verve Album

I sit and wonder, I often wonder
I sit and wonder about the things she does
I sit and wonder, I often wonder,
I' ve been waiting for this moment to come

And she' s the teacher and I' m the pupil but I aint learning anything at all,
Now I' m falling into the black hole and I can barely feel the sun

Yeah I sit and wonder, I fall to pieces
I' ve been waiting for her to come
A bed of roses, her cheeks like peaches,
Yeah I aint going to wait no more,

Give me some light, give the light, yeah give me some light, give me some light

Well writes a passage, we are mistaken yeah some are going to break into stone, the door is open and I am reaching, yeah it looks like a prodical son

Yeah give me some light, give the light, yeah give me some light, give me some light

God give me the light, give me the light, yeah give me some light, give me some light

I' ve been there doing it to my mind lord

Something is going on inside my head lord
Something is going on inside my head lord

Will those feet in modern times
Walk on soles that are made in China?
Through the bright prosaic malls
And the corridors that go on and on and on

Are we blind – can we see?
We are one, incomplete
Are we blind – in the city?
Waiting for lightning to be saved, yeah
Cause love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that I’m singing again

Love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that I’m singing again, again, again, again, again

Will those feet in modern times
Understand this world’s affliction?
Recognise the righteous anger?
Understand this world’s addiction?

I was blind – couldn’t see
What was here in me
I was blind - insecure
Felt like the road was way too long, yeah
Cause love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that I’m singing again
Love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that I’m singing again
Love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that I’m feeling again
Love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that I’m singing again, again, again, again, again, again, again

Cause love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that you’re feeling again
Love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that I’m singing again, again, again, again, again, again, again

All those feet in modern times
Walk on soles made in China
Will those feet in modern times
See the bright prosaic malls
Will those feet in modern times
Recognise the heavy burden
Will those feet in modern times
Pardon me for my sins?
Love is noise

Yeah there`s no evil introductions
No doubt, corridors and failure
you`ll find your fortune
you`ll mind find some pain
i wanna lie lie together
feels like our last embrace
in a world full of confusion
yeah the human race

But i`d rather be here than be anywhere
is there anywhere better than here
you know these feelings i`ve found they are oh so rare
Is there anywhere better than here

sometimes life seems to tear us apart
i don`t wanna let you go
sometimes these feelings hidden
i start to cry
cause i won`t ever let you go

Mmmmmmmmm.... Multiplying

Oh We have just really heard this about
Always on the evil destruction
Making all them scream out loud
and as i watch......
my life in which.......
one moment while im still crying
Oh another day is coming

Cause i`d rather be than be anywhere
is there anywhere better than here
You know these feelings i`ve found they are also red
Is there anywhere better than here

Sometimes life seems to tear us apart
I don`t wanna let you go
sometimes these feelings hidden
i start to cry
Cause i won`t ever let you go

But i`d rather be here than be anywhere
is there anywhere better than here
you know these feelings i`ve found they are also red
is there anywhere better than here.
(repeat)

Sometimes these feelings............
These feelings are also red

Feelings
Only feelings
Just let 'em, let 'em go

Feelings
Only feelings
Just worthless, so I let 'em go

New York, I was Judas
She said 'A latte, double shot for Judas'
Cry for the things that happen, people need to know
And for a dream to happen
You gotta let it go, gotta let it go
Gotta let it go, gotta let it go aha
Gotta let it go

You let it go
You let it go

But there must be
Some answer
I keep seeking, cause I gotta know
We are numbered, and we are labeled
Do we ever, break our home

I knew it, before you said it
There's no need for, need to wait
Need to wait

You let it go
I'm running
In the sky
Slipping round
Hold me up high
I I I, high high high
High, high, high

Woohoo
Still holding on, you know the dreams have just begun
The dream's just begun
The dream's just begun
I know you're still holding on
Because the dream has just begun

Just breathe in the air
But don't be afraid
There's a time for us to make
Sense of all this pain
Sense of all this pain

Mama, mama, mama, mama
Mama don't let loose
Before you get tied
Just let the chains loose
Before you really really really really
Really let loose
Of all the faded chains

Numbness on my brain, babe
Yeah, numbness on my brain
Yeah, numbness on my brain
Yeah, numbness on my brain

Picture this life embracing
Living life, reminisce, take your time
No secret for a long while
Here comes mother nature's child

Numbness on the brain
Numbness on the brain
Oh, rain
Yeah, numbness on the brain
Yeah, numbness on the brain

Strange times are coming
Hope, yeah you got your bags all there
Oh, you got your cupboard all stocked up
You got your pride just rare, ready

Numbness on my brain, babe
Yeah, numbness on my brain
Yeah, numbness on my brain
Yeah, numbness on my brain

Oh yeah, oh yeah
So these are my days, my days, my days
So these are my crimes
So these are my crimes
So these are my crimes (numbness on my brain)
I lived and I die
I loved and I fall (numbness on my brain)
I fall and I cry
I laughed and I loved (yeah numbness on my brain)
I loved and I lost
Till the victory is ours (yeah numbness on my brain)
The snakes in the grass
Yeah numbness on my brain
Yeah numbness on my brain
Yeah numbness on my brain

I see houses
Rows and rows
Of red bricks
I see black cars
Some
Blood-stained exit
You got
A feeling that you
You've been
In here before
How many lives
Will you waste
How many tears
Must you taste

Before your freedom
Ah-ah-ah
Before your freedom
Ah-ah-ah

I see mountains
Blood-red sunsets
I see
A billion stars
Love deafened
And betrayed
You got
A feeling that you
You've been
In here before
How many lives
Will you waste
How many tears
Must you taste

Before your freedom
Ah-ah-ah
Before your freedom
Ah-ah-ah

Don't be late

You got
A feeling that you
You've been
In here before
How many lives
Will you waste
How many tears
Must you taste

Before your freedom
Ah-ah

You got a feeling
That you
You've been
Here before
How many lives
Will you waste
How many blood
Must you taste

Before your freedom
Oh

It's just
This murder
Trouble and strife
Turning me
Into another guy
It's just murder
Trouble and strife
Turning me
Into another guy

Oh

Don't be late
Don't be late
Don't be late
When I call you up

Oooh-oooh-ooh-ooh
Oooh-oooh-ooh-ooh
Oooh-oooh-ooh-ooh
Oooh-oooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh
Oh-my, my, my, my
My, my, my, aaah

Pleading with Athos of the Rock
In the ancient language which he spoke
But I didn't even give a damn
'Cause all I wanted to do was just sit back and talk
Talk about the restless winds that were blowing in my mind
That twisted all we grow as too thin
And feelings I had which I couldn't describe
And the places I'd come within
And in the chrome light I stood up and I just began
I'd sell my pride on a whim, let it blow
The righteous light that was guiding me still
And the man with the Holy soul
Impatience took a dim view of my words
And let me down again
I'm so dusty, laden with all that world-weary stars and reverends

I've got your Mother Mary, God
Life is empty
I wanna find some peace today
I said, Mother Mary, oh
Life's so empty
I need some peace today, oh oh today

Oh those twisted corridors of power
In the ivory walls of hate
Where the eagle flies so proudly
And I just can't, just can't wait
In the victim's mind, he's ready
He is ready to exploit the weakness
Of the century's greed and feebleness
And the lies they whisper
To his brothers and sisters

Please Jesus, oh I love you
Won't you come and stay
Mother Mary, I know life is empty
I wanna find some peace today

Hannah hung around for the the rapture
On the roam for forty years
Of course no-one came, and you know I still live in fear
Always waiting for the prince of seventy-two
I was waiting for the world to fall apart, how about you?

If Husain could have waited
Nava'i could have seen the stars in the sky
'Cause I've been waiting for you for fifty odd years
I've been waiting for you through these hopes and these tears
I was waiting for you, I'm a-waiting for you
There's thunder, in the sky

Why why why - did I let you down?
Can I carry that cross for you?
Can I carry that cross for you?
Is there anything that I need to know?
Did you let me down?
Did you let me down?
Why why why - did you let me down?

Did you think I wouldn't know
Why why why - did you let me down?

I wanna sit right here, I'm gonna write you a letter
I wanna sail, I wanna sail over the ocean
I wanna talk to Best and Muhammad Ali
I don't just use my fists, yeah I use my feet
They got spirit, I got spirit
Oh mama mama mama it's like yellow earth
What was it like for you when you was giving birth
You got it in for you, I got it in for me
I said, why you always jump in places like Stevie Mc Queen?
I got spirit, come feel it
I got spirit, you can feel it
He got spirit, we gotta feel it
You got spirit, scream if you feel it

WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP,
WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP

Can you keep yourself on for good
Seems like the whole world is losing
How do you stop yourself up
Even if seems like the whole world is crying

Aaaah Oooooh
Aaaah Oooooh
She got all I need
The air I breath
When it comes to my valium skies
She don't mind if I cry

How do you stop your love from crying
Even if you knew she was lying
How do you stop this world from loathing
Still no knocking with all these cards I'm holding

Aaaah Oooooh
Aaaah Oooooh
She got all I need
The air I breath
When it comes to my valium skies
She don't mind if I cry

She don't mind if I cry
She don't mind if I cry

Aaaah Oooooh
Aaaah Oooooh
She got all I need
The air I breath
When it comes to my valium skies
She don't mind if I cry

When it comes to my valium skies
She don't mind if I cry

Baby why are you wasting time crying
Like it's the only thing to do?
Baby don't you worry, you're still crying
Your instincts all it's got, I knew

Baby don't you worry, you're still crying
I can see the sadness in your eye
Baby why are you wasting time crying
Trying to find out the reasons why?

Baby don't believe it when they say it
Love is just a feeling that you give
You're the universe and you're all I need
Tell me all the secrets that I'll forgive

Ooh-yeah-yeah, oooh-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
All right, ooh yeah, all right

Just watch the lights go down over this town
Watch it ten feet down, whilst we learn
Watch the city boys leave, full of bluster
Oh where are we now?
Take it easy, for you must keep digging, yourself's only star
We don't know, we don't know (oh yeah)
We don't know, we don't know (oh yeah)
We don't know, we don't know
we don't know, we don't know (a-ha)

Fame, a celebrity cocksuck, flash light, flash light
Fame, bullet proof bathroom
Inside, fixing up
Fame, a sealing-up number one
Vacuum, a vacuum
Fame, miracle accent,
Inside, start it up
Shoot it up, shoot it up, shoot it up, shoot your gun
Fame, the vanity minstrel
Fame, the mirror of the wet dream
And I love you, and I'm feeling that accent
Dying on the inside, I'm dying on the inside
Love's like oxygen
Love's like oxygen
Love's like oxygen
Love's like oxygen
Love's like oxygen

Does anybody know where we really gonna go
I was wondering if it`s god damned beautiful
you know the thing we cannot trade, forever wrong
(repeat)

solitude, my secret mood, Appalachian springs
on my things
Take a step to the left
Take a step to the right
i saw myself
and it wasn`t quite right

Does anybody know where we really gonna go
i was looking for answers in the sun
And the feelings that a man can`t control
and if the fire burn bright
In the deadly night
....................
I said that I would never be on their side

Take a step to the left, take a step to the right
and i saw myself(and i give it to...)
and it wasn`t quite right
(repeat)

And i was waiting for ........
Like a ..... calling, singing in the sun
You said ' i remember '69'
I said 'ok'

Solitude, my secret mood, appalachian springs
on my things

Take a step to the left
take a step to the right
i`m gonna keep it together
(repeat)

Here we go, love take a hold
I know that our people go
What am I, where I go
Where it is, no-one knows

Live today and gone tomorrow
Love has never lived in sorrow
Let us rise and let us sing along
Lovers feel and that is why
I tried to say I'm sorry
And I'm ready to feel more alive

You gotta want it, really want it,
Gonna paint a picture
So vivid in colour
You'll wanna buy another
You'll wanna buy another

Who feels history?
Who needs history?
You know it's all right, do your thing
I guess it's time for you to spread your wings
Yeah it's all right, do my thing
Guess it's time for you to spread your wings

And then a break together

And you'll be my witness, my lover and prophet

Give me the good love, good love, good love

You're trying to haunt me
We're slowly rotting
You know fifty-thousand die in one day
Stone-age, stone

Who feels history?
Who hears history?
Yes it's alright, to do my thing
Guess it's time for you to spread your wings
Yes it's alright to do my thing
I guess it's time for you to spread your wings
