Turns Into Stone

Stone Roses Turns Into Stone Lyrics
1.Something's Burning

Don't count your chickens 'cuz they're never gonna hatch
'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 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 cost to be someone
I am her vine
And you're her 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're her 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 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 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're her branches


2.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 could 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 could know that
I'm in heaven when you smile
And I'm everywhere
I really don't think you could 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
You hear me as you speak

I'm standing here
I really don't think you could know that
I'm in heaven when you smile
I'm standing here
I really don't think you could know that
I'm in heaven when you smile

But I'm everywhere
I really don't think you could 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
Oh let it rot I made them stop

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 part the jug of wine 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


3.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
River Kills where I belong
In my Mersey paradise

As I stare at all your wheel come
Sailing back and I feel like
Growing pins and falling in
Swim along without a care
I'll meet in sand when ? 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
In my Mersey paradise

I want to be (I want to be) where the drownings are (drownings
are)
You see it in the tea river cools where I belong
Oh yeah
I want to be (I want to be) where the drownings are (drownings
are)
You see it in the tea river cools where I belong
In my Mersey paradise


4.Where Angels Play

Come with me to a place no likes Ive ever seen
A million miles from here where no one's ever been
I'm on the edge of something shadowy
I'm coming through

'Ok, let's fly,' she says, 'this carpet's made for two'
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 tree
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


5.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 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...


6.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

Repeat (all thoughts...)

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


7.What The World Is Waitnig 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 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


8.Elephant Stone

Burst into heaven
Kiss in the cotton clouds
Artic 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 in the cotton clouds
Artic 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


9.The Hardest Thing In The World

The hardest thing in the world

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


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
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


10.Fool's Gold

The gold road's sure a long road
Winds on through the hills for 15 days
The pack on my back is aching
The straps seem to cut me like a knife

Repeat

I'm no clown i won't back down
I don't need you to tell me what's going down
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...

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
