Richard Ashcroft - (Could Be) A Country Thing, City Thing, Blues Thing (2000) HD w/lyrics

How many days have I felt like this, all strung out?
It feels so good to be free
And I want you to know
How I feel
You take me from the madness, the awe-inspiring sadness
Take me to the places where the air is clean
Fill my heart with wonder, awake me from my slumber
(I've been sleeping)
Toss me to the ocean like a sinking stone
Could be a city thing
Could be a blues thing
Could be a country thing
Could be the real thing
Took a walk over the rocks on the beach
And I was thinking of all the things that I have and can never be
And I was dreaming lazily on your head as I watched the sunset
You take me from the madness, the awe-inspiring sadness
Show me faces that I need to know (I've been sleeping)
Throw me to the ocean, like a stone I will just fall in (I've been drowning)
Heaven knows where this flood will go
Could be a city thing
Could be a blues thing
Could be a country thing
Could be the real thing
Could be a city thing
Could be a blues thing
Could be a country thing
Could be a me thing
Think, could be a blues thing
Think, could be the real thing
You take me from the madness
The awe-inspiring sadness (I've been sleeping)
Take me to the places where the air is clean (and I've been drowning)
Fill my heart with wonder, awake me from my slumber (I've been sleeping)
Toss me to the ocean like a sinking stone (and I've been drowning)
Rid me of this logic
Leaves my heart grounded (I've been sleeping)
Take me to the places where the air is clean (and I've been drowning)
Meet me at the fountain
The one set in the garden (you can bless me)
I'll wash your hands as you just stand
Stand by me, stand by me
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
You're a rare find (such a rare find)
Oh higher (such a rare find)
Oh higher (such a rare find)
Oh higher (such a rare find)
Oh higher (such a rare find)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah (such a rare find)
Devotion
Fliick the switch babe we're gone
Higher (such a rare find, such a rare find)
A city thing (devotion) country blues thing
I burn as they're rolling on
Country thing (oh higher)
A blues thing (such a rare find)
A country thing (devotion)
Country city thing (such a rare find)
A country thing (such a rare find)
A country blues thing (such a rare find)
A city thing (devotion)
Country blues thing (such a rare find)
Country thing (higher)
A blues thing (such a rare find)
A country thing (devotion) city thing
A country thing (such a rare find)
Country blues thing (such a rare find)
We're out of control (a city thing) higher
I got a love you can hold
A country blues thing (such a rare find)
A country thing
A blues thing (such a rare find)
Devotion

I remember this Bside, on Richards First solo single....couldn't get enough of this era of his music.... So beautiful 🙌

[@danilodistefanis5990]

Indeed. Reminds me of Meredith, the love I could never have.

me llena de nostalgia saber que mi juventud siempre estuvo acompañada de la música de The Verve y Ashcroft
