Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm not your sort
I though I knew you once
You won't fool me
You can't fool me
You really dim
Your sitting on cloud nine
Noisy Eighteen
You'd best come down
I'm not your sort
You thought you knew me once
Well don't push me
You can't fool me
I'd seem so dim
Your sitting on cloud nine
Noisy Eighteen
You'd best come down
Your the one
Your the one
The one I'll be that man
Impossible
But your no one
No one and I'm yourself
I'll always be
I'll always be
Your the one
Your the one
The one I'll be that
Your the one
Your the one
Can't wait to be that man
But your no one
No one your no one
No no no one
No one no one
No no no one
No one no one
No no no one
No one no one
No one
The song "Mission Impossible" by The Stone Roses is a reflection on the complexity and unpredictability of human relationships. The singer is addressing someone who they once thought they knew but has since revealed themselves to be not trustworthy. The repetition of "I'm not your sort" emphasizes a sense of distance and discomfort with the other person. The singer recognizes the other person's attempts to appear superior ("sitting on cloud nine") but asserts that they are not fooled by it.
The chorus declares the other person to be "impossible" and without substance, contrasting with the singer's own assertion of being a constant presence ("I'll always be"). The concluding lines seem to affirm the singer's determination to be true to themselves and become the person they aspire to be. The repetition of "no one" emphasizes a sense of self-reliance and self-definition.
Overall, "Mission Impossible" reveals The Stone Roses' lyrical skill at capturing the nuances and complexities of human relationships, as well as their ability to create infectious, anthemic rock music.

You can't fool me
It is impossible for you to deceive me

Noisy Eighteen
Refers to the music magazine, NME, when the song was written
You'd best come down
You need to become more grounded
Your the one
You are the person that I am interested in
The one I'll be that man
The person that I want to become for you
But your no one
You are not the person that I think you are
No one and I'm yourself
Neither of us are who we appear to be
I'll always be
I will remain myself
Can't wait to be that man
I am eager to transform into the person you desire
No one no one
You are truly nobody
No no no one
Absolutely no one

Actually, since 2. 2 is the worst in the franchise, and each movie after that has gotten better than the previous movie.
