"History" by The Verve
Taken from the album A Northern Soul
Intro: --- - x2
Verse 1
-------
I wander the lonely streets...
Behind where the old Thames does flow.
And in every face I meet...
Reminds me of what I have run for.
Bridge
------
In every man, in every hand,
In every kiss you understand,
That living is for other men,
I hope you too understand...
Verse 2
-------
I've got to tell you my tale...
Of how I loved and how I failed...
I hope you understand?
These feelings should not be in the man.
Bridge
------
In every child, in every eye,
In every sky above my head...
I hope that I know,
So come with me in bed.
Chorus
------
Because its you and me we're history
There ain't nothing left to say
When I...will get you alone...
Verse 3
-------
Maybe we could find a room?
Where we could see what we should do...
Maybe you know its true?
Well, living with me is like keeping a fool.
Bridge
------
In every man, in every hand,
In every kiss you understand,
That living is for other men,
I hope you know that I am me...
Chorus (Reprise)
----------------
So come on, I'm thinking about history,
And I'm living for history,
And I think you know I'm bound for you,
Cause I am...
Bridge (Reprise)
----------------
And one and one is two, but three is company
When you're thinking about the things you do,
And you're thinking about the things you do...
Verse 4
-------
I wanna tell you my tale...
How I fell in love and jumped out on my bail...
Do you understand?
There's more in a smile that in a hand.
Bridge
------
In every sky, in every kiss
There's one thing that you've might have missed
Oh, why am I going to a place that now belongs to you?
Chorus
------
But you and me, and so am I
Lets make it up
Lets even try to live today, so why not smile?
Don't dream away your life...
Middle 8
--------
Cause it is mine...
It is mine...
Is that a crime?
Is that a crime?
This life is mine, but the bed ain't made,
Its filled full of hope, I've got a skinfull of dope...
Oh, the bed ain't made,
But its filled full of hope, I've got a skinfull of dope...
