The Stone Roses - Mersey Paradise

One of The Stone Roses best songs, and It was only a B-side. This song can be found on the album ''Turns Into Stone''


Lyrics:
River splashes against the rocks
And I scale the slope
and hope the tracks won't
Lead me down to dark black pits or
Places where we fall to bits
If she were there I'd hold her down
I'll push her under while she drowns
And couldn't breathe and claw for air
She doesn't care for my despair
Or is it me?
I'm the one that's wrong?
You see it in the sea
River cools where I belong
In my Mersey paradise
As I stare an oil wheel comes
Sailing by and I feel like
Growing fins and falling in
With the bricks the bags the rusty tin
I swim along without a care
I'm eating sand when I need air
You can bet your life I'll meet a pike who'll
Wolf me down for tea tonight
I want to be (I want to be)
Where the drownings are
You see in this heat
River cools where I belong
In my Mersey paradise

I want to be (I want to be)
Where the drownings are
You see in this heat
River cools where I belong
Oh yeah
I want to be (I want to be)
Where the drownings are
You see in this heat
River cools where I belong
In my Mersey paradise.

At the end of the day, Liverpool & Manchester are both city's which mainly argue over football teams... This isn't about football, This is The Stone Roses, This is about OUR Mersey paradise (That goes for Liverpool & Manchester) Now all chill the fuck out and enjoy the music! Hopefully we'll all be able to get along for three fucking days at Heaton Park ay?

It makes me think a little bit to "Here comes the sun".

horse69outside - are you seven years old? "fucked up big time" Ha ha. Like your Mum would let you go to a concert on your own.

Liverpool supporter here. I have to respect this band for putting football rivalries aside and helping support the 96 who died in Sheffield that sad day. People may not know this but Liverpool and Manchester United didn't always hate each other. We had a rivalry, but we didn't hate each other. After Munich we offered our support, as the two biggest clubs in England we respected each other. Hell, we don't even remember what it feels like to have a rivalry without hate, do we? It's been too long.

@horse69outside Don't think any of them will be mate. It's all about the love for the roses and to be honest, that's fight talk what you're saying right there... Look at yerself before dissing others. It's not where ya from, it's where ya at
