Breaking Into Heaven

Artist: Stone Roses
Song: Breaking Into Heaven
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've been casing your joint for the best years of my life,
like the look of your stuff, outta sight.
When I'm hungry and when I'm cold,
when I'm having it rough, or just getting old.

Listen up sweet child of mine, have I got news for you,
nobody leaves this place alive, they'll die and join the queue.

Better man the barricades, I'm coming in tonight,
had a line of my dust, outta sight.
When I wander and when I roam,
I'll find a soul I can trust, I'm coming home.

Listen up sweet child of mine, have I got news for you,
nobody leaves this place alive, they'll die and join the queue, sing it.
I'm, I'm gonna break right into heaven,
I can't wait anymore.

Heaven's gates won't hold me, I'll saw those suckers down,
laughing loud at your locks when they hit the ground.
Every icon in every town,
hear this, your number's up, I'm coming round.

Listen up sweet child of mine, have I got news for you,
nobody leaves this place alive, they'll die and join the queue, sing it.
I'm, I'm gonna break right into heaven,
I can't wait anymore.

How many times will I have to tell you,
you don't have to wait to die,
you can have it all, any time you want it,
yeah the kingdom's all inside.


Driving South

(Lyrics may be unofficial guesstimates, possibly obtained unchecked from around the Internet.)

Artist: Stone Roses
Song: Driving South
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Driving south round midnight, man, I must have been insane,
driving south round midnight in a howling hurricane.
I stopped for an old man hitcher at a lonely old crossroad,
he said, 'I'm going nowhere,
I'm only here to see if I can steal your soul.'

'I'm not tryin' to make you, I don't want to touch your skin,
I know all there is to know about you and all your sins.
Well, you ain't too young or pretty and you sure as hell can't sing,
any time you want to sell your soul,
I've got a toll-free number you can ring.'

Yeah, that's what I thought he said anyway.

'I'm not tryin' to make you, I don't want to touch your skin,
I know all there is to know about you and all your sins.
Well, you ain't too young or pretty and you sure as hell can't sing,
any time you want to sell your soul,
I've got a toll-free number you can ring.'

O eight O O triple six, oh yeah.
O eight O O triple six, oh yeah.

I stopped for an old man old man hitcher at a lonely old crossroad,
he said, 'I'm going nowhere,
I'm only here to see if I can steal your soul.'

 


Ten Storey Love Song

(Lyrics may be unofficial guesstimates, possibly obtained unchecked from around the Internet.)

Artist: Stone Roses
Song: Ten Storey Love Song
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When your heart is black and broken, and you need a helping hand,
when you're so much in love you don't know just how much you can stand,
when your questions go unanswered, and the silence is killing you,
take my hand baby, I'm your man, I got loving enough for two.

Ten storey love song, I built this thing for you, ooh.
Who can take you higher than twin peak mountain blue?
Oh well, I built this thing for you, and I love you true.

There's no sure-fire set solutions, no shortcut through the trees,
no breach in the wall that they that they put there to kepp you from me.
As you're lying awake in this darkness, this everlasting night,
someday soon, don't know where or when,
you're gonna wake up, and see the light.

Ten storey love song, I built this thing for you, ooh.
Who can take you higher than twin peak mountain blue?
Oh well, I built this thing for you, and I love you true.

So why no stack for black on a radio station in this, the city?
Been going on so long, level on the line, I'm a leaf on the vine of time.
Black bones are the original bones,
and so this the whole wide world should know, y'all.
I came to sing this song in your city.
Ooh, for the dreamers, one more for the dreamers, yeah.


Your Star Will Shine

(Lyrics may be unofficial guesstimates, possibly obtained unchecked from around the Internet.)

Artist: Stone Roses
Song: Your Star Will Shine
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Your star will shine again one day, through deep blue velvet skies,
shine for all the world to see the universe in your eyes.
When the storm outside is raging, and the dogs, they howl your name,
lay down, sleep, and I'll kiss you, your star will shine again.

Na na na na na na na na.
Hush my darling, don't you cry,
I'll stay by your side until morning,
all through the night I'll watch the skies.
And your distant sun will shine like the gun
that's trained right between your Daddy's eyes.


Straight To The Man

(Lyrics may be unofficial guesstimates, possibly obtained unchecked from around the Internet.)

Artist: Stone Roses
Song: Straight To The Man
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Saying this revelation call delia station,
an initiation, all you'd better beware.
Who'll cast the first stone? Skin to the bone,
bring it all on home, bring it all for Jerome.

So, new castle, build a brand new castle,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, straight to the man.

On an island of traders, you know they're trying to fade ya,
no-one can train you, no-one evade you, no-one can fade you,
saying 'Don't be late, no, the train won't wait',
saying 'Don't be late, no, the boat can't wait',
saying 'Don't be late, no, the train nor the boat
or the train can't wait, yeah.'

Do the do, do the do, do the do do,
do the do do, do the do do do,
do the do do, do the do do do do do do do do do the,
heading straight for the man.
Oh, you know they'll never evade you.

So now I stand here, love cuts down a revolver,
am stern damn in Sodom and Gomorrah,
so I'm singing to King Stone, your teaching it's on.
They say it's a fable, though I was made able.
I slipped through the net, wanna bet it's a ramble, a sandstorm,
one slip you don't never forget, who could ever forget?
You know I never forget.

Do do do, do do do, do do do do do do do,
do do do do, straight to the man.
Oh, you know they're trying to fade you.

Saw this revelation, call delia station.
I don't need no powder, one kinder, easy blind ya,
yeah, the ice of Grand Bretagne owes a debt,
say, the ice of Grand Bretagne, all the eyes of Grand Bretagne
all the eyes of Grand Bretagne owes a debt.

Yeah, the eyes of Grand Bretagne,
all eyes of Grand Bretagne owes us a debt.


Begging You

(Lyrics may be unofficial guesstimates, possibly obtained unchecked from around the Internet.)

Artist: Stone Roses
Song: Begging You
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm begging you, I'm begging you.
The fly on the coachwheel told me that he got it
and he knew what to do with it, everybody saw it,
saw the dust that he made.

King bee in a frenzy, ready to blow,
got the horn good to go wait, oh his sting's all gone,
now he's begging you, begging you.

Here is a warning, the sky will divide,
since I took of the lid now there's nowhere to hide,
now I'm belling you, I'm begging you.

This is a mystery not to be solved,
but be minded, like minded, I'm gone, still I'm with you,
I'm begging you, I'm begging you.

Give it over, give it over.
Give it over, give it over,
yeah I'm begging you, I'm begging you.
Give it over, give it over.
Give it over, give it over,
yeah I'm begging you, I'm begging you.

Weigh it and say it, is it all in a name,
does it call you or maul you and drive you insane.
Can it make you remember, time is a place,
now I'm belling you, I'm begging you.

The fly on the coachwheel told me that he got it
and he knew what to do with it, everybody saw it,
saw the dust that he made.

Make all the dust that you can, make all the dust that you can,
king bee in a frenzy ready to blow.


Tightrope

(Lyrics may be unofficial guesstimates, possibly obtained unchecked from around the Internet.)

Artist: Stone Roses
Song: Tightrope
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tightrope

You should have been an angel, it would've suited you.
My gold-leafed triptych angel, she knows just what to do.
In the half light of morning, in a world between the sheets,
I swear I saw her angel wing, my vision was complete.

And I know I'll never want another lover, my sweet,
can there be more in this world than the joy of just watching you sleep?
I don't know just what to feel. Won't someone tell me my love's real?

Are we etched in stone or just scratched in the sand,
waiting for the waves to come and reclaim the land?
Will the sun shine all sweetness and light,
burn us to a cinder, our third stone satellite?

I'm on a tightrope, baby, nine miles high,
striding through the clouds, on my ribbon in the sky.
I'm on a tightrope, baby, one thing I've found,
I don't know how to stop, and it's a long, long, long,
long way down.

She's all that ever mattered, and all that ever will,
my cup, it runneth over, I'll never get my fill.
The boats in the harbour slip from their chains,
head for new horizons, let's do the same.

I'm on a tightrope, baby, nine miles high,
striding through the clouds, on my ribbon in the sky.
I'm on a tightrope, baby, one thing I've found,
I don't know how to stop,
and it's a tightrope, baby, nine miles high,
striding through the clouds, on my ribbon in the sky.
I'm on a tightrope, baby, one thing I've found,
I don't know how to stop, and it's a long, long, long,
long way down.


Good Times

(Lyrics may be unofficial guesstimates, possibly obtained unchecked from around the Internet.)

Artist: Stone Roses
Song: Good Times
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
I'll tell you my story man, I wish I'd never been born.
I'm loose at the seams, I've broken my dreams,
and my hand, it shakes the pen.
Come on, come on now, baby, let the good times roll again, yeah.

Where did our sweet love go? Who stole away our time?
Why do the stars above refuse to shine?
The harder I try to paint a picture of the way it was back then,
the more I miss the good times, baby, let it roll again.

Good times, baby, this is the time I need to know that your love is mine,
love me up yeah, reel me in, I'm hooked, line and sinker,
she's my heroin.

How many days have I been lying on my back
staring at the ceiling, girl, streching on your rack?
The harder I try to paint a picture of the way it was back then,
the more I miss the good times, baby, let it roll again.

Good times, baby, this is the time I need to know that your love is mine,
love me up yeah, reel me in, I'm hooked, line and sinker,
she's my heroin.
Said I'm hooked now, I'm not fakin', I'm here till the day I die.
Can't get enough now, my heart is aching, I'm in to deep to stop.

All I want is those good times, baby, show me a sign.
I need to know that your love is mine,
love me up yeah, yeah, reel me in, I'm hooked, line and sinker,
she's my heroin.


Tears

(Lyrics may be unofficial guesstimates, possibly obtained unchecked from around the Internet.)

Artist: Stone Roses
Song: Tears
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our love, girl, is going through changes,
I don't know if I'm alive, dead, dying, or just a little jaded,
someone throw me a line. You know I need it, I need it bad.

Lost in a maze of my own making,
no way out that I can find, send home your hard working jury,
I'm going down this time. You better believe it, yes you had.

So if you hear me crying, or talking in my sleep,
don't be afraid, it's just the hours that I keep.
We gotta love to last for a million years,
a love that could never fade through the tracks of your tears.

All I can do is hope that you will see me fall,
do your best to smash my picture on your wall.
Forgive me baby, absolve me, my dear.
I've seen the future in the tracks of your tears.

I've seen the future in the tracks of your tears,
of your tears, of your tears.

I cast a shorter shadow with every passing day,
no time to think, I'm just fading away.
Some kind of magic in all your hopes and fears,
show me the future through the tracks of your tears.


How Do You Sleep

(Lyrics may be unofficial guesstimates, possibly obtained unchecked from around the Internet.)

Artist: Stone Roses
Song: How Do You Sleep
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've seen your severed head at a banquet for the dead,
all dressed up for dinner looked so fine.
You shining silver salver so tastefully powdered
with the finest military quick lime.

Now try and picture this as I gave you a kiss,
the apple in your mouth slipped in mine.
The orchestra played the sweetest serenade,
we laughed as we put away your wine.

So raise your glasses, here's a toast to wasted lives.
May all their ghosts come back to haunt you,
and tell you how they died.

How do you sleep? How do you last the night and keep the dogs at bay?
How do you feel when you close your eyes, and try and drift away?
Does it feel any better now?
Does it mean anymore when the angel of death comes knock, knocking,
and banging at your door?

When all the fun was over, I put you on my shoulder,
took you home, away from it all.
Shot down and claimed, mounted and framed,
tastefully hung upon my wall.

Are my dreams your nightmares? I hope they all come true.
Get off your knees, the party's over, I'm coming home to you.

How do you sleep? How do you last the night and keep the dogs at bay?
How do you feel when you close your eyes, and try and drift away?
Does it feel any better now?
Does it mean anymore when the angel of death comes knock, knocking,
and banging at your door, at your door? Mmm.


Love Spreads

(Lyrics may be unofficial guesstimates, possibly obtained unchecked from around the Internet.)

Artist: Stone Roses
Song: Love Spreads
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Love spreads her arms, waits there for the nails,
I forgive you, boy, I will prevail.
Too much to take, some cross to bear,
I'm hiding in the trees with a picnic, she's over there, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah.

She didn't scream, she didn't make a sound,
'I forgive you, boy,' but don't leave town.
Cold black skin, naked in the rain,
hammer flash in the lightning, they're hurting her again.

Let me put you in the picture, let me show you what I mean,
the messiah is my sister, ain't no king, man, she's my queen.
Let me put you in the picture, let me show you what I mean,
the messiah is my sister, ain't no king, man, she's my queen.
I have a dream, I've seen the light.
Don't put it out, say she's alright, yeah, she's my sister.

She didn't scream, she didn't make a sound,
'I forgive you, boy,' but don't leave town.
Cold black skin, naked in the rain,
hammer flash in the lightning, they're hurting her again.
Oh, oh,
ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Let me put you in the picture, let me show you what I mean,
the messiah is my sister, ain't no king, man, she's my queen.
Let me put you in the picture, let me show you what I mean,
the messiah is my sister, ain't no king, man, she's my queen.
Let me put you in the picture, let me show you what I mean,
the messiah is my sister, ain't no king, man, she's my queen.
Let me put you in the picture, let me show you what I mean,
the messiah is my sister, ain't no king, man, she's my queen.
Let me put you in the picture, let me show you what I mean,
the messiah is my sister, ain't no king, man, she's my queen.
Let me put you in the picture, let me show you what I mean,
the messiah is my sister, ain't no king, man, she's my queen.
Let me put you in the picture, let me show you what I mean,
the messiah is my sister, ain't no king, man, she's my queen.
Let me put you in the picture, let me show you what I mean,
the messiah is my sister, ain't no king, man, she's my queen.
I have a dream, I've seen the light.
