The Verve - History lyrics

rate me

<b>History</b> by <i>The Verve</i><br />I wander lonely streets

Behind where the old Thames does flow

And in every face I meet

Reminds me of what I have run from

In every man, in every hand

In every kiss, you understand

That living is for other men

I hope you two will understand

I've got to tell you my tale

Of how I loved and how I failed

I hope you understand

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

In every child, in every eye

In every sky, above my head

I hope that I know

So come with me in bed

Because it's you and me, we're history

There ain't nothing left to say

When I will get you alone

Maybe we could find a room

Where we could see what we should do

Maybe you know it's true

Living with me is like keeping a fool

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 so come on

I'm thinking about history

And I'm living for history

And I think you know about me

Cause I am

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

I want to tell you my tale

How I fell in love and jumped out on my bail

I hope you understand there's more in a smile than in a hand

In every sky, in every kiss

There's something that I might have missed

Why am I going to

A place that now belongs to you

But you were weak and so was I

Let's pick it up, let's even try

To live today, so why not smile

Don't dream away your life 'Cause it is mine

Is that a crime (repeat) this life is mine

The bed ain't made but it's filled full of hope

I've got a skin full of dope
