Song lyrics History by The Verve

I wander lonely streets
Behind where the old Thames does flow
And in every face I meet
Reminds me of what I have run from

In every man, in every hand
In every kiss, you understand
That living is for other men
I hope you two will understand

Iīve got to tell you my tale
Of how I loved and how I failed
I hope you understand

Iīve got to tell you my tale
Of how I loved and how I failed
I hope you understand
These feelings should not be in the man

In every child, in every eye
In every sky, above my head
I hope that I know
So come with me in bed
Because itīs you and me, weīre history
There ainīt nothing left to say
When I will get you alone

Maybe we could find a room
Where we could see what we should do
Maybe you know itīs true
Living with me is like keeping a fool<

In every man, in every hand
In every kiss, you understand
That living is for other men
I hope you know that I am me so come on
Iīm thinking about history
And Iīm living for history
And I think you know about me
Cause I am

And one and one is two
But three is company
When youīre thinking about the things you do
And youīre thinking about the things you do
I want to tell you my tale
How I fell in love and jumped out on my bail
I hope you understand thereīs more in a smile than in a hand
In every sky, in every kiss
Thereīs something that I might have missed

Why am I going to
A place that now belongs to you
But you were weak and so was I
Letīs pick it up, letīs even try
To live today, so why not smile
Donīt dream away your life īCause it is mine
Is that a crime (repeat) this life is mine
The bed ainīt made but itīs filled full of hope
Iīve got a skin full of dope
