Stone Roses, The - All Across The Sands Lyrics






Bones of an impressive romance
Scattered all across the sands
A secret safe with all the world
Too vain to seem so capable

Can you hear it calling
Do you feel warmer
As the hired hand's exposed

How can a pretty painted shell
Send them all packing off to Hell
A freight train laughs and rattles by
You kissed the girls and made them die

Can you hear it calling
Do you feel warmer
As the hired hand's exposed

And I'll never come here again
And we will never come here again
And we will never play here again
Again

Can you hear it calling
Do you feel warmer
As the hired hand's exposed

After her call
After her call
After her call
And she calls

    Anyone that was round at this time, just appreciate how good you had it when it came to music. 16 years old and gutted that my generation has been brainwashed by shit grime music, constantly ask myself how people can listen to this type of music and think that it's shit.

    J.... S....

    Andrew Bateman agreed mate

    J.... S....

    Best thing to do is spread the word and look for smaller bands who are making quality music. There's definitely some out there who need our loving

    J.... S....

    got the same issue mate

    J.... S....

    Trust, I got mugged off being born in 2003

    Genius this son

  34. J.... C....

    Great song ever!

    J.... C....

    I'm 16 and I've been listening to the roses for like 10 years loved them as soon as I heard them, doesn't mean I'm a hipster, it just means I have a good taste in music

    J.... C....

    Yeeeah!

    J.... C....

    +Stephen Nicoll Nowt wrong with being a hipster, mate..

    J.... C....

    +Leon Williams It's only received 200,000 views as there are several more Waterfall videos on YouTube, my friend.

  35. H.... H....

    Shout out to the 15 year olds thinking they're cool and hipster listening to this

    H.... H....

    shout out to the cock who left that comment

    H.... H....

    get back to the basement and listen to some edm you little keyboard wizard

    H.... H....

    +KCG Hahahahaha, just my sentiments. There are idiotic minorities on both sides, though..

    H.... H....

    +JamesChezEFC Well said, lad. Football loyalties should never cross over into music. I adore The Beatles & lots more Mersey Beat.

    H.... H....

    I'm 15 and I just have a good taste in music instead of jumping on the bandwagon of grime

  36. J.... O....

    los amo!!!

  37. N.... D....

    What a tune it takes me all the way back !! Good times !!

  38. R.... G....

    No-one mentions Reni's awesome melodies?? They complete this beautiful song

    R.... G....

    +Rich Gill actually they do, in fact it was Reni's jazz influenced drums that the music press noticed back in 89. Remember this was one that they discarded when they made their first album and it was later resurrected by silvertone in an effort to cash in

    R.... G....

    spot on

    R.... G....

    Reni is pure soul & it shows in his drumming..

    R.... G....

    Reni was such an important band member.

    R.... G....

    Harmonies, you mean. The melodies are Brown/Squire.

  39. b.... b....

    sally was good but this shoulda been the 'a'.

  40. J.... R....

    my lullaby.

  41. M.... Y....

    Hot Jam.

  42. A.... ....

    Majestic

  43. b.... ....

    Wow Ian before the old B&H & ganja vocal disease....

  44. h.... g....

    Great Song 

  45. N.... ....

    Best song ever.

  46. M.... L....

    Beautiful

  47. f.... ....

    Lord of the Flies? (Pretty painted shell send them all packing off to hell?)

  48. s.... ....

    not my cup of tea, but i see the appeal

  49. B.... ....

    Reminds me of walking around Spike Island in the summer, with the boys

  50. D.... M....

    Mint tune, nice and mellow and it reminds me of when I was growing up, summer !!!

  51. j.... ....

    I'm a massive Roses fan but only discovered this song relatively recently we I bought Sally Cinnamon on CD. Just brilliant, beautiful. A real hidden gem.

  52. m.... ....

    With regard to what I have just posted. The train actually crosses the Morecambe Bay sands to get to Barrow. I also know of the bullying ('exposed hired hand') prick who attacked Ian and threw him out in a headlock, as he also threatened other musicians there (including me). The train line also passes by yards from the club to the station down the road (can you hear it calling). The town is naturally ashamed of what this guy did in 1986 to Ian and he is not typical of the great people there.

  53. m.... ....

    Seems this was written in a train on the way home after SN's worst ever gig in Barrow where a club committee man assaulted.Ian. So they threw a brick through a window and left."How can a pretty painted shell send them all packing off to hell "A freight train laughs and rattles by.You kissed the girls and made them die. Can you hear it calling. Do you feel warmer.As the hired hand's exposed. And I'll never come here again. And we will never come here again
    And we will never play here again.Again

    m.... ....

    maccafan10 this is really interesting. Always wondered what this song is about. Doesn't he sing "as the hired hands dispose of the ... [something]"?

  54. J.... R....

    Sorry, I meant all across the sands not this is the one!

  55. L.... ....

    PLAYING DUBLIN 2M - HOPE EVERY1 HAS A GREAT NITE

  56. J.... R....

    Better late than never

  57. J.... L....

    awesomeness

  58. J.... R....

    This is the one I want to be buried to

  59. s.... ....

    I don't think Altrincham, or Stockport or wherever could ever do this song justice. A small damp flat in a block overlooking Salford precinct. 4pm. A Sunday afternoon in October. The precinct looks suitably depressing. You await the love of your life to call. While scallies debase themselves amongst the detritus of the long-forgotten morning market, the words '...Do you *feel* warmer?' reverberate around the empty flat. A phone rings...

  60. h.... ....

    @Dbusdriver71 Soo true Like Going Down that is very pretty too! but for some reason he sounds soo differnt now! still good ie 'Set my baby free' which is a belter of a track but it sounds like a differnt person!

  61. J.... B....

    Browns voice in this is unreal.

  62. j.... ....

    It's okay if you accidentally clicked dislike. You are forgiven.

  63. b.... ....

    how the fuck someone can dislike this, it si beautiful and awsome

  64. l.... o....

    One dislike of oasis cos they know they was never as good as the stone roses

  65. l.... o....

    Ian Brown -God Like Genius

  66. s.... ....

    @GriefTourist has it been uploaded somewhere?

  67. M.... F....

    This is The First stone roses song ive heard. Great!!

  68. M.... F....

    This is The First stone roses song ive heard.

  69. a.... b....

    @Dbusdriver71 never ever forgot that gig,amazing mate.

  70. G.... ....

    the other version [vinyl is better]

  71. d.... ....

    Divine.

  72. F.... ....

    @Dbusdriver71

    His voice is fantastic in this. :)

  73. D.... ....

    @MrRoundy76 Ian Brown has had concerts were he was a bit off but to say he cant sing live!? Its the same with Liam Gallagher; he had bad concerts to. If your like the Stone Roses watch the Blackpool concert. I was there and I'm telling you; IAN BROWN CAN SING LIVE!

  74. J.... R....

    Don't give a shit Ian Brown can't sing live, went to Paris to see them when they reformed - AMAZING. No one can touch the Roses!!!

  75. s.... ....

    all these tunes of complete remind me off gettin wired at manley's, the good old days

  76. s.... ....

    all these tunes of complete remind me off gettin wired at manley's, the good old days

  77. c.... ....

    @Dbusdriver71

    Couldn't have said it better, my friend.

    How lucky were we that we were there??

  78. D.... ....

    Whenever I hear anyone say Ian Brown cant sing I play this tune and laugh. One of several examples of an historic band's earily brillance, you had to of been there at the time. It is as brillant as the day it was first released.

  79. R.... P....

    uhuh <3 Fantastic.

  80. J.... B....

    Proof that Ian Brown can sing. And fucking brilliantly too!

  81. r.... ....

    Thnak you for posting- Love this track!!

  82. C.... P....

    Thank you. This song means everything to me...
