I've been casing your joint for the best years of my life
Like the look of your stuff outta sight
When I'm hungry and when I'm cold
When I'm having it rough or just getting old
Listen up sweet child of mine
Have I got news for you
Nobody leaves this place alive
They'll die here join the queue

Better man the barricades
I'm coming in tonight
Had a line of my dust outta sight
When I wander and when I roam
I'll find a soul I can trust I'm coming home

Listen up sweet child of mine
Have I got news for you
Nobody leaves this place alive
They'll die and join the queue
Sing it
I-I'm gonna break right into heaven
I can't wait anymore

Heaven's gates won't hold me
I'll saw those suckers down
Laughing loud at your locks when they hit the ground
Every icon in every town
Hear this, your number's up, I'm coming round

Listen up sweet child of mine
Have I got news for you
Nobody leaves this place alive
They'll die and join the queue
Sing it
I-I'm, I'm gonna break right into heaven
I can't wait anymore

How many times will I have to tell you
You don't have to wait to die
You can have it all
Any time you want it
Yeah the kingdom's all inside

Amen, brother!  Drummer is an able accomplice here, and their solid footing allows for guitar and vocal freedom — which are also handled admirably on this cut. Nice tune, and very well executed. 

How in the world did I miss so much good music?  No matter; Bill is gradually catching me up on everything.

Thanks Bill.

John Squire may still be the best, least known guitarist on the planet. Amazing chops, and he simply evaporated...

AGREEMENT - though I am still happy with the fine mix! 

True - little less girls and little more rock were an improvement to the good!

One of the few gems on a disappointing album.  Compared to their first album, this one just can't compete.  It's sad really, the first album was absolutely fantastic and has gotten a lot of airtime in the Byronape household.
 
True, but this is truly a gem, and IMHO one of their best efforts. the guitar work is purely fantastic!

I happen to love this album. I saw the Roses in one of their last ever gigs - an all-nighter at the Brixton Academy in late 1995. They were awesome.

I even missed the extended 4-minute intro to this track.

Thanks for playing this.

To each his own. I think that your opinion is that of the majority; however, I like this disc better than their first. The guitar work is just phenomenal, as evidenced on this song. Definitely an underrated band, imo.

Posted 15 years ago by Danimal174    [ Reply ]
On the album, this song has a long, drawn out, and completely unnecessary intro section that adds nothing to the song. I'm glad RP left that off.

I couldn't agree more..Oasis were kiddies when The Stone Roses were blowing people away..along with the Happy Mondays.

nah, not really I think, not enough chord-melody/chord embellishment and out of mode variations going on. This sounds more like clapton during his cream days imo.

Don't get your hopes up. Their parting was supposed to have been pretty acrimonious. I think one or two of them went to Primal Scream.

Yeah, serious cranking guitar work here, and though Mr. Squire showed similar flashes of brilliance on the Seahorses' Do It Yourself, I wish something more like this could pop out again about nowadays.
