The Verve Lyrics

Oh, can you comfort me
Tonight (It's all right)
Make it all seem fine

I just can't make it alone
Oh, no, no
I just can't make it alone
Oh, no, no

There'll be no lullabies
There'll be no tears cried
We feel numb 'cause we don't see
That if we really care
And we really loved
Think of all the joy we'd feel

Oh, can you just tell me
It's all right (It's all right)
Let me sleep tonight
Oh, can you comfort me
Tonight (It's all right)
Make it all seem fine

I just can't make it alone
Oh, no, no
I just can't make it alone
Oh, no, no
I just can't make it alone
Oh, no, no
I just can't make it alone
Oh, no, no

Ain't got no lullaby, no, no
Ain't got no lullaby, oh, no
There is no space and time
Oh lord
There is no space and time
Oh lord

We have existence and it's all we share
We have existence and it's all we share
We have existence and it's all we share
We have existence and it's all we share
We have existence and it's all we share
Keep on pushing 'cause I know it's there
Keep on pushing 'cause I know it's there
Keep on pushing 'cause I know it's there
Keep on pushing 'cause I know it's there

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There ain't no space and time
To keep our love alive
We have existence and it's all we share
There ain't no real truth
There ain't no real lies
Keep on pushing cause I know it's there

[Bridge]
Oh, can you just tell me
It's all right (It's all right)
Let me sleep tonight
Oh, can you comfort me
Tonight (It's all right)
Make it all seem fine

[Chorus 2x]
I just can't make it alone
Oh, no, no

[Verse 2]
There'll be no lullabies
There'll be no tears cried
We feel numb cause we don't see
That if we really care
And we really loved
Think of all the joy we'd feel

[Bridge]
Oh, can you just tell me
It's all right (It's all right)
Let me sleep tonight
Oh, can you comfort me
Tonight (It's all right)
Make it all seem fine

[Chorus 4x]

[Middle]
Ain't got no lullaby, no, no
Ain't got no lullaby, oh, no
There is no space and time
Oh lord
There is no space and time
Oh lord

[Outro]
We have existence and it's all we share (6x)
We have existence and it's all we share
(Keep on pushing cause I know it's there) (5x)

More people need to open their ears and minds to The Verve and the genius that is Richard Ashcroft! One of the best songwriters ever. Definetly in my lifetime anyway.

The lyrics in this are beautiful and full of truth. the 90's had the coolest songs and bands. this music is honest, deep, well written and well played. I always come back to the old songs. they remind me of how life was for me growing up, before life got more complicated. before social media. 90's music like this was simply the best. and I am glad these are the songs I got to grow up with

"We have existence and it's all we share" the absolute best line in the song, and one I've quoted many times.

This brings back some AMAZING memories for me-I went to see The Verve headline Slane Castle in 1997, when I was only 15!!! That weekend was amazing... Richard Ashcroft is one of the most gifted musicians alive-EVER! He's a brillaint song writer, and his voice is truly unique & stunning! Im gonna dig my old Verve CD's out, and have a listen tonight-Along with a lot of booze lol-Now that it's legal :P

There aren't many people left (let alone artists) who are capable of thinking for themselves. Too addicted to social media and games to just "sit and wonder" and contemplate on things to feel and come up with something genuine.

Open your ears. The shoegaze revival we're witnessing has produced very beautiful music. I would argue a lot is superior to what we heard in the 90s. MBV fanboys downvote away!

What a beautiful but killing song. The relationship is beyond repair and you know it but you cling on because you know nothing else so you entertain the thought of going back. A very different song but with a similar message is 'Please Don't Ask' by Genesis. Give it a listen. They're both great and equally heartbreaking

I saw them in Chicago on the Urban Hymns tour-lucky me-only a few dates. Nick was not there due to "exhaustion" so I was freaking the show wouldn't be the same. Out comes Richard with a Gibson ES 335 and proceeds to blow my head off by playing every part note for note and perfect vocals. Best show ever to this day. My all time favorite album.. They transcend normal human capacity for creating music. Today's Mozart(s)

Space and time are both illusions. They don't really exist, we just perceive them both in all of our minds. They've tried all the psychedelics to realise that one. With some songs, the listeners interpretation is different to the writers own meaning of the lyrics and this is one of them.

Hence "we have existence and it's all we share"

The whole of this album reminds of a period during my teens when my dad bought this for me. I'd walk around my nearest town which was a shithole listening to Urban Hymns on my Discman until I left it in a Mcdonald's never to be seen again. I hid this from my parents for about 3 days before coming clean that I'd lost what was a £180 gift (a lot of money at the time).

TOR Music

"We have existence and that's all we share" - Richard foresaw what is happening right now in these crazy times of modernity. Instead of mostly uniting us, social media and the internet has, for the most part, exacerbated division. When I look at life today most people merely share existence and nothing more. Beautiful song and prophetic message. Love and unity - we will keep on pushing because we know its there!

What a band, what an album. In the right place with the right music at the right time. Not like the shite we have classed as 'music' today. Genuinely think the 90's was the last decade for the term of the music 'band' and decent music.
