Artist: Stone Roses
Song: Sally Cinnamon
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Until Sally I was never happy
I needed so much more
Rain clouds, oh they used to chase me
Down they would pour
Join my tears, allay my fears
Sent to me from heaven
Sally Cinnamon, you are my world
I pop pop pop blow blow bubble gum
You taste of Cherryade
There is something, hey, you must show me
From what you are made
Sugar and spice
And all things nice
Sent to me from heaven
Sally Cinnamon, you are my world
Your eyes are gazing back from
Every little piece of glass
You seem to smile from every place
Sally Cinnamon, you are my world
Then I put the letter back in
The place where it was found
It's a pocket in a jacket
On a train in town
Sent to her from heaven
Sally Cinnamon, your whole world
Here It Comes - ( see Garage Flowers )
All Across The Sands

Artist: Stone Roses
Song: All Across The Sands
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bones of an impressive romance
Scattered all across the sands
A secret safe with all the world
Too vain to seem so capable
Can you hear it calling
Do you feel warmer
As the hired hand's exposed
How can a pretty painted shell
Send them all packing off to Hell
A freight train laughs and rattles by
You kissed the girls and made them die
Can you hear it calling
Do you feel warmer
As the hired hand's exposed
And I'll never come here again
Ah, we will never come here again
Ah, we will never play here again, again
Can you hear it calling
Do you feel warmer
As the hired hand's exposed
After her call
After her call
After her call
And she calls
Elephant Stone

Artist: Stone Roses
Song: Elephant Stone
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Burst into heaven
Kiss in the cotton clouds
Arctic sheets and fields of wheat
I can't stop coming down
Your shrunken head
Looking down on me above
Send me home like an elephant stone
To smash my dream of love
Dreaming till the sun goes down
And night turns into day
Rooms are empty I've got plenty
You could move in right away
Seems like there's a hole
In my dreams
In my dreams
In my dreams
Down through the heavens
Choke on the cotton clouds
Arctic sheets and fields of wheat
I can't stop coming down
Your shrunken head
Looking down on me above
Send me home like an elephant stone
To smash my dream of love
Did your bed and bookshelf go
And run run run away
These four walls saw the rise and fall
And your midnight getaway
Seems like there's a hole
In my dreams
Or so it seems
Yet nothing means anything
Anymore

The Hardest Thing In The World
(Lyrics may be unofficial guesstimates, possibly obtained unchecked from around the Internet.)
Artist: Stone Roses
Song: The Hardest Thing In The World
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The hardest thing in the world
Holland [?] it don't please
I never wanted to leave
Searching for a perfect day
It never happens that way - ahey hey hey
I'm sick and tired and so obscene
Will heaven help me be clean?
Searching for a perfect day
It never happens that way - ahey hey hey
Cut away, I know your world wants you around [?]
You never heard a word I said
It's very simple to me
That if you knew you wouldn't say
It never happens that way - ahey hey hey
And the impression I get
As the story unfurls:
That you're the hardest thing in the world
Cut away, I know your world wants you around
What you feel might not be
It seems softer [?] to me
I cannot climb to touch your spire
I'm getting higher and higher
Cut away, I know your world wants you around
The hardest thing in the world
Made Of Stone- ( see The Stone Roses )
Going Down
(Lyrics may be unofficial guesstimates, possibly obtained unchecked from around the Internet.)
Artist: Stone Roses
Song: Going Down
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dawn sings in the garden
Phone sings in the hall
This boy's dead from two day's life
Resurrected by the call
Penny here, we've got to come, so come on round to me
There's so much penny lying here to touch, taste and tease
Ring a ding ding ding I'm going down
I'm coming round
Penny's place her crummy room
Her dansette crackles to Jimi's tune
I don't care, I taste Ambre Solaire
Her neck, her thighs, her lips, her hair
Ring a ding ding ding I'm going down
I'm coming around
All thoughts of sleep desert me
There is no time
30 minutes brings me round to her number 9
Yeah she looks like a painting
Jackson Pollock's Number 5
Come into the forest and taste the trees
The sun starts shining and I'm hard to please
Ring a ding ding ding I'm going down
I'm coming around
All thoughts of sleep desert me
There is no time
30 minutes brings me round to her number 9
To look down on the clouds
You don't need to fly
I've never flown in a plane
I'll live until i die
She Bangs The Drum - ( see The Stone Roses )
Mersey Paradise
(Lyrics may be unofficial guesstimates, possibly obtained unchecked from around the Internet.)
Artist: Stone Roses
Song: Mersey Paradise
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
River splashes against the rocks
And I scale the slope I hope the tracks won't
Lead me down to dark black pits or
Places where we fall to bits
If she were there I'd hold her down
I'll push her under while she drowns and
Couldn't breathe and call for air
She doesn't care for my despair
Or is it me? Or the one that's wrong
You see it in the sea
River cool's where I belong
In my Mersey paradise
As I stare an oil wheel comes
Sailing by and I feel like
Growing fins and falling in
With the bricks, the bikes, the rusty tin I
Swim along without a care
I'll eating sand when I need air you can
Bet your life I'll meet a Pike who'll
Wolf me down for tea tonight
I want to be (I want to be)
Where the drownings are (drownings are)
You see it in the sea
River cool's where I belong
In my Mersey paradise
I want to be (I want to be)
Where the drownings are (drownings are)
You see it in the sea
River cool's where I belong
Oh yeah
I want to be (I want to be)
Where the drownings are (drownings are)
You see it in the sea
River cool's where I belong
In my Mersey paradise
Standing Here
(Lyrics may be unofficial guesstimates, possibly obtained unchecked from around the Internet.)
Artist: Stone Roses
Song: Standing Here
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm standing on a hilltop
A hundred miles from home
I can see the light surrounds me
I want you to show me around
I'm standing here
I really don't think you know that
I'm in heaven when you smile
I'm drifting through the city
I'm swinging from a tree
I can touch, but you can't feel me
You hear me as you sleep
I'm standing here
I really don't think you know that
I'm in heaven when you smile
And I'm everywhere
I really don't think you know that
I'm in heaven when you smile
But I don't think you think like I do
No matter how how hard I try
I always thought I'd have the answer
Let me tell you what I've got
I'm looking through your window
I might just have the key
Over me my free-fall baby
You hear me as you speak
I'm standing here
I really don't think you know that
I'm in heaven when you smile
I'm standing here
I really don't think you know that
I'm in heaven when you smile
But I'm everywhere
I really don't think you know that
I'm in heaven when you smile
But I don't think you think like I do
No matter how how hard I try
I always thought I had the answers
Let me tell you what I've got
Oh let it rot I made them stop
I could park the juggernaut in your mouth
And I can feel the hurricane when you shout
I should be safe forever in your arms
I should be safe forever in your arms
Who could park the juggernaut in your mouth?
And I can feel the hurricane when you shout
I should be safe forever in your arms
I should be safe forever in your arms

Where Angels Play

Artist: Stone Roses
Song: Where Angels Play
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Come with me to a place no eyes have ever seen
A million miles from here where no one's ever been
God-given grace and a holy heaven face
I'm on the edge of something shattering
I'm coming through
"Ok, let's fly," she says, "this carpet's made for two"
This ugly little box, no place for me and you
Our carpet falls on a dew-fresh daffodil plain
Take a look around, there's something happening
All the colors fade
I don't want you now, bang bang bang gone
Ooh I don't need you now, the seeds are sown
Ooh bang bang pretty pretty, bang bang
I don't think so, no no
I don't think so, no no
Bang bang, bang bang
Out below the country rolls like a mighty boiling sea
The warm red sun gives up and sinks into the trees
But I'm no fool, I can't stand here betrayed
Take a look around there's something happening
All the colors fade
I don't want you now, bang bang bang gone
Ooh I don't need you now, the seeds are sown
Ooh bang bang pretty pretty, bang bang
I don't think so, no no
I don't think so, no no
Bang bang, bang bang
Fools Gold
(Lyrics may be unofficial guesstimates, possibly obtained unchecked from around the Internet.)
Artist: Stone Roses
Song: Fools Gold
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The gold road's sure a long road
Winds on through the hills for fifteen days
The pack on my back is aching
The straps seem to cut me like a knife
The gold road's sure a long road
Winds on through the hills for fifteen days
The pack on my back is aching
The straps seem to cut me like a knife
I'm no clown I won't back down
I don't need you to tell me what's going down
Down down down down da down down down
Down down down down da down down down
I'm standing alone
I'm watching you all
I'm seeing you sinking
I'm standing alone
You're weighing the gold
I'm watching you sinking
Fool's gold
These boots weren't made for walking
The Marquis de Sade never made no boots like these
Gold's just around the corner
Breakdown's coming up round the bend
Sometimes you have to try to get along dear
I know the truth and I know what you're thinking
Down down down down da down down down
I'm standing alone
I'm watching you all
I'm seeing you sinking
I'm standing alone
You're weighing the gold
I'm watching you sinking
Fool's gold
Fool's gold
I'm standing alone
I'm watching you all
I'm seeing you sinking
I'm standing alone
You're weighing the gold
I'm watching you sinking
Fool's gold
What The World Is Waiting For
(Lyrics may be unofficial guesstimates, possibly obtained unchecked from around the Internet.)

Song: What The World Is Waiting For
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here comes the wise man
And there goes the fool
Can you see the burned out world that he is living in
I don't need to look for the rules
Here comes the donkey
Chained to a ten ton plough
He'll never make that hill in a million years
Whip crack, beat him down
He loves his brother he'd sell him for a fistful of gold
But he needs a slave for his vision of the promised land
No i don't believe a word
Take me any way the wind blows
You'll never know just what you want to do
Or where you wanna go i think it's time
That you found what the world is waiting for
I think it's time to get real
Repeat (here comes..)
Anytime you want it, then it's there
All you gotta do is stop me
On the corner and ask
Say hey, you don't live today
Stop the world
Stop the world
I'm getting off
I'm getting off
Can't get enough
I'm getting off
Something's Burning

Song: Something's Burning
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't count your chickens 'cuz they're never gonna hatch
You can't catch a monkey with a shotgun and a sack
'Cuz you're too dull, baby, you can't see the wood for the trees
'Cuz you're too slow, baby, you just couldn't get off your knees
Don't count your chickens 'cuz they're never gonna hatch
You can't cut your monkey with a shovel and a sack
'Cuz you're too dull, baby, you can't see the wood for the trees
'Cuz you're too slow, baby, you just couldn't get off your knees
I can see the love and the hate in your eyes
Heading [Penny] for the thoughts behind the disguise
What you gonna do and what you gonna say?
I'm not the only one believing there's an easier way
It doesn't pay to be sorry, you take me [disorientate me]
It doesn't cost to be someone
I am the vine
And you are the branches
Don't knock her young man, you don't know what he'll get done
You can't kick and old man, see what he's become
You are far too lazy
You stick to your pillow with ease
'Cuz you're much too lazy, you just couldn't get off your knees
I can see the love and the hate in your eyes
Heading for the thoughts behind your disguise
What you gonna do and what you gonna say?
I'm not the only one believing there's an easier way
It doesn't pay to be sorry, you take me
It doesn't cost to be someone
I am the vine
And you are the branches
Don't count your chickens 'cuz they're never gonna hatch
You can't cut your monkey with a shovel and a sack
'Cuz you're too dumb, baby, you can't see the wood for the trees
'Cuz you're too slow, baby, you just couldn't get off your knees
I can see the love and the hate in your eyes
Heading for the thoughts behind your disguise
What you gonna do and what you gonna say?
I'm not the only one believing there's an easier way
What'ya gonna do with the rest of your life
Heading for the thoughts behind your disguise...
I am the vine
And you are the branches
One Love

Song: One Love
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any time you want me
Any time at all
Any time you need me
All you gotta do is call
Any time you want me
Any time at all
Any time you need me
All you gotta do is call
I'm no dog or a dolphin
[I'm no dog, i'm a dolphin?]
I just don't live in the sea
You feel my flow and you flood my brain
Show me a vision you wild apparition
And sink to the depths of your soul
One love, we don't need another love
One love, one heart and one soul
We can have it all
Easy, easy do do do do do
Any time you want me
Any time at all
Any time you need me
All you gotta do is call
You put me one step clear of the chain gang
And two miles over the line
All the scenes I saw left me wanting more
Show me a vision you wild apparition
And sink to the depths of your soul
One love, we don't need another love
One love, one heart and one soul
Your fruit's in season
And these feet fall surely sound
And what goes up must come down
Turns into dust or turns into stone do do do do...
