The Stone Roses - I Am The Resurrection

Down down you bring me down
I hear you knocking down 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 'cause 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
Slurs upon my every word

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

I am the resurrection and I am the life
I couldn't ever bring myself
To hate you as I'd
Like

I am the resurrection and I am the life
I couldn't ever bring myself
To hate you as I'd
Like

Lyrics:

Down, down, you bring me down
I hear you knocking down 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 'cause 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
Slurs upon my every word
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
I am the resurrection and I am the life
I couldn't ever bring myself to hate you as I'd like
I am the resurrection and I am the life
I couldn't ever bring myself to hate you as I'd like

Every 2 or 3 years I get an insatiable urge to play this relentlessly. It never tires, and it's so good it would be a hit in any era. Legendary tune. I woke up for work 2 days ago with it going on in my head for no particular reason. It's put me back on top.

[fibee]

Absolute classic - I never get tired of this

[robmason]

This tune came on the day i came from detox clinic and its my good bye song to the drugs that took my life away.
And to this day im 13 yrs substance

[steviekenny]

Zero words needed for this masterpiece. 🤷🍋🐝🇾🇪

[philmorley-kozu]

The Coliseum in Coventry on a Thursday night was Kinky Afro an indie late eighties early nineties shindig in 1995. With some modern stuff thrown in. Looking over the balcony seeing the dancers to this classic shuffle away brought me joy.

[dreamteampro]

This has to be one of the best songs ever! :)

[FrankCostanza-drqd]

Magnificent tune ! One of the top 80s albums

[sprightly]

Started listening to the roses in the early 90s and right now sat back with a j still noddin my head to them. Timeless tunes

[reeevahplays]

I'm 13 and this music is the shit! Such a good band

[RobAngus-ls]

Memories of getting the album backed of 1989, played it solid for couple days. 17 at the time, blew my mind.

[petercorbett]

I rented a flat off a guy who worked for NME while he was abroad for a year. His record collection! Wow. Everything Stone Roses ever made. Let’s say it changed my opinion of them.

[smusicfanatic]

I still remember first hearing about The Stone Roses while at college(1990?) in the school paper. Gotta remember that here in the US, they were unknown.
And I'll never forgot how the reporter wrote about John Squire - "The guitar player sounds like he's playing with 3 hands".

I was hooked!!!

[theKT]

Love the song ever since I first heard it in the 90s. But the instrumental in this gives me goosebumps....seriously

[liannegeorge]

Every morning when I get me coffee, this is playing in my head … I LUVS IT ..!
