Reef - Come Back Brighter Lyrics






Been down, but I've come back brighter,
Sun hurts me, if I try to fight her,
I won't be sat here waiting,
I won't be sat here waiting,
I won't be sat here waiting for it,
So come and take me on.

Sometimes, the black hole's inside ya,
But if you can just lighten up yourself,
It will make you stronger,
I won't be sat here waiting,
I won't be sat here waiting,
I won't be sat here waiting for it,
So come and take me on.

Get up...
I've been down, but I've come back brighter,
Sun hurts me, if I try to fight her,
I won't be sat here waiting [x3]
For you, so come and take me,
So come and take me on and on and on...

I've been down...

  20. r.... g....

    I'm into hip hop...have been for over 30 years ...however I do like other artists/songs but they've really got to have something special to make me sit up and notice. Reefs' first album was the first rock album I bought. I love pretty much love the whole LP great music and singing. Don;t think they got enough publicity and backing as they should have. I like a few other rock albums too and they are right up there with the best of them. Yer old is great too... hell they all are.

  21. I.... A....

    @andyahp, alright matey, did you have any joy with that?

    I know the track is on the Reef - Collection (Acoustic Radio Session) album.  No body has uploaded it anywhere so far, but it seems it can be downloaded from most places like Amazon & Virgin:

    We need more like them! Un saludo desde Madrid :)

  56. L.... ....

    Never thought much of em in the 90s.
    But I was a spoilt prick in the 90s! Saw them play Cornwall last year - they are on of the greatest ROCK acts you will ever see.

    L.... ....

    +Longboardsinglefin you werent spoiled,there was so much shit too choose from in the 90's you didn't care much about smaller bands,now you understand they were fucking amazing..i know cause i'm in the same boat :))

    L.... ....

    Nor me. I never liked Place your Hands and consequently never bothered with them. Saw them at Rambling Man this year and have totally changed my mind. Great set and as heavy as you want.

    L.... ....
