Sonnet
The Verve Lyrics
My friend and me
Looking through her red box of memories
Faded I'm sure
But love seems to stick in her veins you know
Yes, there's love if you want it
Don't sound like no sonnet, my lord
Yes, there's love if you want it
Don't sound like no sonnet, my lord
My lord
Why can't you see
That nature has its way of warning me
Eyes open wide
Looking at the heavens with a tear in my eye
Yes, there's love if you want it
Don't sound like no sonnet, my lord
Yes, there's love if you want it
Don't sound like no sonnet, my lord
My lord
Sinking faster than a boat without a hull
My lord
Dreaming about the day when I can see you there
My side
By my side
Here we go again and my head is gone, my lord
I stop to say hello
'Cause I think you should know, by now
By now
By now
By now
By now
By now
Oh, by now
Oh, by now
Oh, by now
Oh, by now
Oh, by now
Oh, by now
Oh, by now
Oh, by now

This song can seem like an ode to love itself towards God, but it represents every lover's quest to achieve the object of love, and how such deep endurance is required to obtain the reward and how painful it is. It also shows that lover's time is right now and love cannot wait to be consumed.

The Verve lead singer Richard Ashcroft wrote this song, which in the UK was the fourth single from their third album, Urban Hymns. The group was rather combustible, breaking up both before and after the album, which started off as an Ashcroft solo effort. Like most of his songs, it's very personal and rather cryptic.
In a Songfacts interview with Richard Ashcroft, he said that the "red box of memories" was real and tangible. "We even took a picture of it," he said. "In England it came on an Urban Hymns deluxe thing at some point and I remember photographing the actual box for the sleeve."
As for what's in the box or the identity of his friend who looks through it with him, he's not talking. "That's where the mystery has to stop for now, Scooby Doo!" he said. "You meddling kids, we would have got away with that red box of memories!"
Ashcroft learned over the years that listeners have vastly different interpretations of his lyrics, which he doesn't want to disrupt by sharing their true inspirations.
In America, this wasn't released as a single and isn't well known. Their only hit in that country was another Urban Hymns track, "Bitter Sweet Symphony," which got a boost from a Nike commercial and a video that got lots of airplay on MTV. It was only used in the commercial because a tussle over a sample in the song forced Ashcroft to relinquish the publishing rights.

[Verse 1]
My friend and me
Looking through her
Red box of memories
Faded I'm sure
But love seems to stick
In her veins you know
[Chorus]
Yes, there's love if you want it
Don't sound like no sonnet, my lord
Yes, there's love if you want it
Don't sound like no sonnet, my lord
My lord
[Verse 2]
Why can't you see
That nature has it's way
Of warning me
Eyes open wide
Looking at the heavens
With a tear in my eye
[Chorus]
Yes, there's love if you want it
Don't sound like no sonnet, my lord
Yes, there's love if you want it
Don't sound like no sonnet, my lord
My lord

Sinking faster than a boat
Without a hull
My lord
Dreaming about the day
When I can see you there
My side
By my side

Here we go again and
My head is gone, my lord
I stop to say hello
Cause I think you should know, by now

Mi amigo y yo
Mirando a través de su caja roja de recuerdos
Estoy seguro de que se desvaneció
Pero el amor parece pegarse en sus venas sabes
Sí, hay amor si lo desea
No suena como ningún soneto, mi señor
Sí, hay amor si lo desea
No suena como ningún soneto, mi señor
Mi señor
¿Por qué no se puede ver
Que la naturaleza tiene su manera de avisarme
Los ojos bien abiertos
Mirando al cielo con una lágrima en el ojo
Sí, hay amor si lo desea
No suena como ningún soneto, mi señor
Sí, hay amor si lo desea
No suena como ningún soneto, mi señor
Mi señor
Hundiendo más rápido que un bote sin casco
Mi señor
Soñando con el día en que se puede ver que hay
Mi lado
A mi lado
Aquí vamos otra vez y mi cabeza se ha ido, mi señor
Me detengo para decir hola
Porque creo que usted debe saber, por ahora
Ya

This album was a massive help in getting me through my cancer treatment in 97/98

Played this at my uncle's funeral 2 days ago. He loved The Verve and saw them live in Wigan in 1998. We were torn on what song to pick but I was having a look through his CDs last week and found this song as a single, and the choice was made. The tears were flowing when it came on but it was a beautiful moment. Until we meet again Martin. 1974-2022 💙

@Macca bless you. I'm glad my comment had an impact on you. I'm not always perfect but I try and make him proud... I'm thinking of getting a tattoo of what he wrote in the last card he gave me, which was for my graduation in September, he simply wrote 'I'm very proud of you!' and I would love to have that on me forever, because I know how proud of me he was, and I want to do him proud every day. 💗

Kidding on, it totally did! God bless and I hope ur uncle is looking down on u and proud of you x
