Verve, The A Northern Soul History



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


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


I've got to tell you my tale

Of how I loved and how I failed
I've got to tell you my tale
I hope you understand
Of how i loved and how i failed

I hope you understand
I've got to tell you my tale

Of how I loved and how I failed

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

I hope you understand
In every child, in every eye
These feelings should not be in the man
In every sky, above my head

I hope that I know

So come with me in bed
In every child, in every eye
Because it's you and me, we're history
In every sky, above my head
There ain't nothing left to say
I hope that i know
When I will get you alone
So come with me in bed

Because it's you and me, we're history
Maybe we could find a room
There ain't nothing left to say
Where we could see what we should do
When i will get you alone
Maybe you know it's true

Living with me is like keeping a fool


Maybe we could find a room
In every man, in every hand
Where we could see what we should do
In every kiss, you understand
Maybe you know it's true
That living is for other men
Living with me is like keeping a fool
I hope you know that I am me so come on

I'm thinking about history

And I'm living for history
In every man, in every hand
And I think you know about me
In every kiss, you understand
Cause I am
That living is for other men

I hope you know that i am me so come on
And one and one is two
I'm thinking about history
But three is company
And i'm living for history
When you're thinking about the things you do
And i think you know about me
And you're thinking about the things you do
Cause i am
I want to tell you my tale

How I fell in love and jumped out on my bail

I hope you understand there's more in a smile than in a hand
And one and one is two
In every sky, in every kiss
But three is company
There's something that I might have missed
When you're thinking about the things you do

And you're thinking about the things you do
Why am I going to
I want to tell you my tale
A place that now belongs to you
How i fell in love and jumped out on my bail
But you were weak and so was I
I hope you understand there's more in a smile than in a hand
Let's pick it up, let's even try
In every sky, in every kiss
To live today, so why not smile
There's something that i might have missed
Don't dream away your life 'Cause it is mine

Is that a crime (repeat) this life is mine

The bed ain't made but it's filled full of hope
Why am i going to
I've got a skin full of dope
A place that now belongs to you
But you were weak and so was i
Let's pick it up, let's even try
To live today, so why not smile
Don't dream away your life 'cause it is mine
Is that a crime (repeat) this life is mine
The bed ain't made but it's filled full of hope
I've got a skin full of dope
