Slide Away
The Verve Lyrics
So take your time
I wonder if you're here just to use my mind
Don't take it slow
You know I've got a place to go
You always do that
Something I'm not quite sure of
But just for today
Let go and slide away
I was thinking maybe we could go outside
Don't you feel alive
These are your times and our highs
So take your time
I wonder which cup you'll drink from
I hope it's mine
Because you always do that something
Something I'm not quite sure of
But just for today
Let go and slide away
'Cause I read your mind
I read it because it takes me where I can't find
Because you always do that something
Something I'm not quite sure of
But just for today
Let go and burn away
I was thinking maybe we could go outside
Let the night sky cool your foolish pride
Don't you feel alive
These are your times, these are your highs
Slide away, burn away
Slide away, burn away
I read your mind
I read your mind
'Cause it takes me to where I can't find
I was thinking maybe we could go outside
Let the night sky cool your foolish pride
Don't you feel alive
These are your times and our highs
Maybe, maybe we could go outside
Let the night sky cool your foolish pride
Open up you feel alive
These are your times and my highs

The band was formed in 1989 at Winstanley College, Wigan, Greater Manchester, England, by vocalist Richard Ashcroft, guitarist Nick McCabe, bassist Simon Jones and drummer Peter Salisbury. Simon Tong later became a member. The band originally split in 1995, but reunited in 1996 to great commercial success. They split once more in April 1999. The band reunited once more in June of 2007, but this reunion was short lived, despite the release of the album Forth in 2008, and the band split again in August 2009.
Beginning with a psychedelic sound indebted to space rock and shoegazer music, by the mid-1990s the band had released several EPs and two acclaimed records. They also endured name and lineup changes, breakups, health problems, drug abuse and various lawsuits. The band's commercial breakthrough was Urban Hymns and its single Bitter Sweet Symphony, which became a massive worldwide hit.
Soon after this commercial peak, the band quit amid creative struggles within, and Ashcroft went onto a successful solo career. Tong briefly joined Blur as a replacement for Graham Coxon. It is rumored that Simon Jones did a studio album with Ari Pap of the Floor Monks called 'Aint Nothing To It' and was never released because they both had bigger projects going on at the time. Close family and friends assure us its a fabulous indie/rock/alternate album and they really wish it would have been released.
The Verve were chosen to close the 2008 Glastonbury festival which they did with a set based on the classic 1997 album 'Urban Hymns'.

"Slide Away"
So take your time
I wonder if you're here just to use my mind
Don't take it slow
You know I've got a place to go
You always do that
Something I'm not sure of
But just for today
Let go and slide away
I was thinking maybe we could go outside
Let the night sky cool your foolish pride
Don't you feel alive
These are your times and our highs
So take your time
I wonder which cup you'll drink from
I hope it's mine
Beause you always do that something
Something I'm not sure of
But just for today
Let go and burn away
'Cause I read your mind
I need it because it takes me where I can't find
Because you always do that something
Something I'm not sure of
But just for today
Let go and burn away

Slide Away burn away
Slide Away burn away
I read your mind
I read your mind
'Cause it takes me to where I can't find...

Criminally underrated album.
Harry Bannister
@Konst A thats part of the charm. It was clearer live, but for me the production adds a timestamp and creative feel.
Tim Sears

It sure is. Nick McCabe harnesses explosions.
detcelloc
The guitar sound in this song is fucking epic
VCMSound
@Matthew Biggin –I think about all the guitarists in the BritPop era of the 90's–and there were some good ones–but Nick McCabe is in a class by himself. Other guys play guitar; Nick McCabe is a sonic sculptor of the highest order. Yeah.
