She's A Superstar
The Verve & The Verve Lyrics

Here she comes
Seven suns
A burning flame
She got my love
Got my head
But it's all the same
She climbed so high
I don't know why
High
On her own

She got my woe
Got my hand
Took the dreams
Right outta my head
She bought the world
I paid the bills
I took those pills
It was wind in her sails
She climbed so high
I don't know why
High,
On her own

Here she comes, seven suns
A burning flame
She got my love
Got my head
But it's all the same

She climbed so high
I don't know why
High
On her own

And I know
She's in the air
And I don't want it to go
I can feel her love
But I don't want it to go

She got my woe
Got my hand
Took the dreams
Right outta my head
She bought the world
I paid the bills
I took those pills
It was wind in her sails

She climbed so high
I don't know why
High
On her own

And I know
She's in the air
And I don't want it to go
I can feel her love
But I don't want it to go

I saw them live every time they came to NYC from their ASIH TOUR and as much as i love Richard i can tell you when they toured with Simon Tong along with a pedal steel guitar player on stage with them as good as the show was there was ab obvious and very necessary ingredient missing: the remarkable true genius of one Nick McCabe....

'Mover' (the 93 version). They themselves asked in 07 what old verve tune they never released should they rework and record? i actually requested 'Mover' and it snowballed from there. Si Jones agreed with me. They did it. Honestly '93 is so much better. the '07/08 'thaw' version of it is 'too RA' , not enough NM. -U10

@@Ultegra10SPD To be fair there weren't many options since they'd released most of the stuff which the fans were aware of. Aside from the pre-Nick demos from 1996, but they were probably out of the question anyway since they were with Simon Tong too and he wasn't invited back for the reunion. The only tracks the fans could have requested are Mover, Staring Stranger (which is an early version of Mover), Black & Blue and South Pacific.
