Lyrics
Burst into heaven
Kiss in the cotton clouds
Arctic 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 on the cotton clouds
Arctic 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
Didn't 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

They mightn't have been the best band ever.... but they definitely were the coolest. Ian Brown wasn't the greatest singer live, sometimes he was terrible... but he had a swagger and a stage presence attitude that said I don't care. The band we'd all dream to be in...

Best album of the 90's - Turns Into Stone

[@SummitEntertainment7]

I like this version! I do on the other hand prefer the shorter version because I like the Wah-Wah guitar. Over all though, you really can't go wrong with either song. The long intro makes this song just as good though. I will never understand why The Stone Roses were never bigger than they were. Especially in America!

[@MrERLoner]

America had grunge and alternative breaking..while some of those bands were interesting, we missed out on Ride, My Bloody Valentine, Lush, Stone Roses, loads of interesting acts from the UK. Where i lived in California for a red-hot minute, Love Spreads was big, but not long after Cobain killed himself and Rap and HipHop broke through. This song was and still is my favorite by Stone Roses though... brilliant!

[@indiekiddrugpatrol3117]

MrERLoner that’s funny because their second album failed in the uk because and suddenly oasis became good and the Roses were forgotten

[@badgasaurus4211]

One Life Vlogs 2nd album was too much like a cheap Led zeppelin and the songs weren’t all that strong (bar a couple like Ten Storey Love Song and Love Spreads)

[@MrNickmack23]

Here's an Easter egg for you all : Play the song normally and the drum beat at the beginning is off beat. Then play the song again but pause it at 0:33 after the two snare hits- now the drum beat is on beat! Testament to the wonderful drummer that is Reni. You're welcome!
