Noise Epic Lyrics - Forth - The Verve

The Verve: Noise Epic 

This song is performed by The Verve and appears on the album Forth. 

Pleading with Athos of the Rock 

In the ancient language which he spoke 

But I didn't even give a damn 

'Cause all I wanted to do was just sit back and talk 

Talk about the restless winds that were blowing in my mind 

That twisted all we grow as too thin 

And feelings I had which I couldn't describe 

And the places I'd come within 

And in the chrome light I stood up and I just began 

I'd sell my pride on a whim, let it blow 

The righteous light that was guiding me still 

And the man with the Holy soul 

Impatience took a dim view of my words 

And let me down again 

I'm so dusty, laden with all that world-weary stars and reverends

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

I've got your Mother Mary, God 

Life is empty 

I wanna find some peace today 

I said, Mother Mary, oh 

Life's so empty 

I need some peace today, oh oh today 

Oh those twisted corridors of power 

In the ivory walls of hate 

Where the eagle flies so proudly 

And I just can't, just can't wait 

In the victim's mind, he's ready 

He is ready to exploit the weakness 

Of the century's greed and feebleness 

And the lies they whisper 

To his brothers and sisters 

Please Jesus, oh I love you 

Won't you come and stay 

Mother Mary, I know life is empty 

I wanna find some peace today 

Hannah hung around for the the rapture 

On the roam for forty years 

Of course no-one came, and you know I still live in fear 

Always waiting for the prince of seventy-two 

I was waiting for the world to fall apart, how about you? 

If Husain could have waited 

Nava'i could have seen the stars in the sky 

'Cause I've been waiting for you for fifty odd years 

I've been waiting for you through these hopes and these tears 

I was waiting for you, I'm a-waiting for you 

There's thunder, in the sky 

Why why why - did I let you down? 

Can I carry that cross for you? 

Can I carry that cross for you? 

Is there anything that I need to know? 

Did you let me down? 

Did you let me down? 

Why why why - did you let me down? 

Did you think I wouldn't know 

Why why why - did you let me down? 

I wanna sit right here, I'm gonna write you a letter 

I wanna sail, I wanna sail over the ocean 

I wanna talk to Best and Muhammad Ali 

I don't just use my fists, yeah I use my feet 

They got spirit, I got spirit 

Oh mama mama mama it's like yellow earth 

What was it like for you when you was giving birth 

You got it in for you, I got it in for me 

I said, why you always jump in places like Stevie Mc Queen? 

I got spirit, come feel it 

I got spirit, you can feel it 

He got spirit, we gotta feel it 

You got spirit, scream if you feel it 

WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP, 

WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP
