Fun Lovin' Criminals - Running For Cover Lyrics






For forty days and for forty nights
I been walkin' down these streets
Tryin' to get it right

But down there lies darkness
Down there lies the past
Down there my conscience
Kinda kicked my ass

You got me runnin' for cover
Runnin' from bein' me
You got me runnin' for cover
For cryin' out loud

I hear them moanin' from distant lands
Have some hookers shut 'em up with some swollen glands
Now beggin's changed, I guess you'll do
Just a hood rat all jacked off and tangled up in blue

There's blood at home, there's blood on my street
How am I to smile in complete defeat?
Well, I'm jumpin' into limbo, tryin' to feel alive
I'm jumpin' into limbo and I like it

You got me runnin' for cover
Runnin' from bein' me
You got me runnin' for cover
For cryin' out loud

Into the quiet dusk I see curvy clouds chokin' up on irony
I give it a pause and I break to the left
But I'm wasted and I can't seem to catch my breath
Here I go, just one more time

Findin' out what's goin' on with the party line
Well, I'm jumpin' into limbo tryin' to feel alive
I'm jumpin' into limbo and I like it

You got me runnin' for cover
Runnin' from bein' me
You got me runnin' for cover
For cryin' out loud

    Read the comments and thought nah this can’t be that good a crowd, so I watched the video and yeah that’s some epic stuff.

  3. i.... ....

    The smile on the lead singers face when he sees the crowing bouncing says it’s all. 💯 amazing! What a feeling that must have been for the band

  4. K.... R....

    Or What? classic

  5. w.... ....

    I remember being dragged along to a FLC gig in Newport way back, 2001, a my mate had a spare ticket. I went along not expecting much (didn't know much about them apart from a couple of the hits) but they were on fire, and they bloody rocked the place, I vividly remember Bombin the L, pure heavy metal, superb gig 🤘

  6. Z.... G....

    Makes me jump up and down, and I'm 47

  7. A.... A....

    What a crowd! Glasto in the 90s. Also The Levellers One Way from 1994, 2 of my fave vids for the atmosphere

    The greatest 3 minutes ever at Glastonbury. And the Criminals handled it like true pros.

  10. D.... G....

    Back in the day when everyone used to just enjoy their time at the festival rather than filming everything with mobile phones

  11. K.... J....

    I was in that crowd, It was a warm summers night, sound quality was great, no wind to carry it off and everyone seemed to be in the moment, the band were loving it as you can see, and I got in for nothing, camera phones existed then but can you see them,

  12. M.... ....

    This right here is the greatest live performance you will find on youtube. The energy is insane. This is how rock shows should be

    R.... D....

    17 years of age I was at this festival and it was amazing! These days you just have a bunch of kids staring at their smartphones at concerts. It's just simply not the same !

    R.... D....

    Was the rest of the concert just as insane? We are about the same age and I too miss these days when it was about having fun.

    R.... D....

    I was 19...best period of my life...

    R.... D....

    When Glasto was great to go to That year there was 90 thousand over what Evis was supposed to have there 2000 there was over 300 thousand people After that year it all changed

    R.... D....

    pure rock and roll. simple, bygone days

  38. M.... S....

    I miss these times😣

  39. M.... ....

    That's the other stage. OMFG that's a big crowd.

    M.... ....

    Its the old Pyramid stage..you can see Glastonbury Tor behind the stage at 2.26

  40. D.... C....

    before camera phones fucked up gigs

    D.... C....

    Does astound me sometimes when people record gigs that are getting recorded for fucking tv

  41. M.... G....

    Damn what a crowd

    M.... G....

    Was pre-fence so anyone could basically come in to festival, it was just Anarchy lol, The year after was even worse, then the owner was told he had to put up a fence to limit people or lose his licence.

  42. B.... O....

    Love this performance.
