Down down, you bring me down
I hear you knocking at 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, 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 slurps upon my every word
I am the resurrection and I am the life
I couldn't ever bring myself to hate you as I'd like
I hear you knocking at 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, 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 slurps upon my every word
I am the resurrection and I am the life
I couldn't ever bring myself to hate you as I'd like
Track 11 on The Stone Roses
About I Am The Resurrection
The classic conclusion to the Stone Roses’s first album. It contemplates how false religion is through a human relationship, finishing with a 4 minute instrumental outro. Q voted it the 10th best guitar track ever.
The album’s religious title’s also leads nicely into the band’s second album — Second Coming.
