Richard Ashcroft History (acoustic) Lyrics

I wander lonely streets
Behind where the old Thames does flow
And in every face I meet
It reminds me of what I have run from

In every man, in every hand
In every kiss, you understand
That living is for other men
I hope you too will understand

I've got to tell you my tale
Of how I loved and how I failed
I hope you understand
These feelings should not be in this man

In every child, in every eye
In every sky, above my head
I hope that I know
So come with me in bed
Because it's you and me, we're history
There ain't nothing left to say
When I, will get you alone

Maybe we could find a room
Where we could see what we should do
Maybe you know it's true
Living with me is like keeping a fool

In every man, in every hand
In every kiss, you understand
That living is for other men
I hope you know that I am me so come on,
I'm thinking about history
And I'm living for history
And I think you know about me
And one and one is two
But three is company
When you're thinking about the things you do
When you're thinking about the things you do

I wanna tell you my tale
How I fell in love and jumped out on my bail
I hope you understand,
there's more in a smile than in her hands

In every sky, in every kiss
There's one thing that you might have missed
And why am I going to
A place that now belongs to you?
But you were weak and so am I
Let's pick it up, let's even try
To live today, so why not smile?
Don't dream away your life
'Cause it is mine
It is mine
Is that a crime?
Is that a crime?
This life is mad
And the bed ain't made
It's filled full of hope
I've got a skin full of dope

Oh and the bed ain't made
It's filled full of hope
I've got a skin full of dope
