I Am The Resurrection (Live Walsall 1989) Lyrics
The Stone Roses
Lyrics
Down, down, you bring me down
I hear you knocking down my door
And I can't sleep at night.
Your face it has no place
No room for you inside my house
I need to be alone.
Don't waste your words I don't need anything from you,
I don't care where you've been or what you plan to do.
Turn, turn, I wish you'd learn
There's a time and place for everything
I've got to get it through.
Cut loose 'cause you're no use
I couldn't stand another
Second in your company.
Don't waste your words I don't need anything from you,
I don't care where you've been or what you plan to do.
Stone me why can't you see
You're a no one nowhere washed up baby
Who'd look better dead.
Your tongue is far too long
I don't like the way it sucks and
Slurs upon my every word.
Don't waste your words I don't need anything from you,
I don't care where you've been or what you plan to do.
I am the resurrection and I am the life,
I couldn't ever bring myself to hate you as I'd like.
I am the resurrection and I am the life,
I couldn't ever bring myself to hate you as I'd like.
