The Verve - History lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] In every man, in every hand In every kiss, you understand That living is for other men I hope you do 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 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 Do you understand? There's more in a smile than in a hand In every sky, in every kiss There's one thing that you might have missed And why am I going to A place that now belongs to you? But you were mean and so am 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 It is mine Is that a crime? Is that a crime? This life is mine But the bed ain't made, it's filled full of hope I've got a skin full of dope Oh the bed ain't made, but it's filled through of hope I've got a skin full of dope
