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 'til 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

[@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]
