Lyrics
As though you were born
And so you thought
The future's ours
To keep and hold

A child within
Has healing ways
It sees me through
My darkest days

I'm gonna keep catching that butterfly
In that dream of mine
I'm gonna keep catching that butterfly
In that dream of mine

In my lucid dreams
In my lucid dreams

Something now
Through life no fun
I want to feel
I want to run

I'm gonna keep catching that butterfly
In that dream of mine
I'm gonna keep catching that butterfly
In that dream of mine

In my lucid dreams
In my lucid dreams

I'm gonna keep catching that butterfly
In that dream of mine
Keep catching that butterfly
In that dream of mine
I'm gonna keep catching that butterfly
In that dream of mine
I'm gonna keep catching that butterfly

In my private dreams
In my private dreams
In my private dreams
My lucid dreams

My forgotten schemes
I see through you
You see through me
I see through you

You see through me
Be with me
Be with me
I see through you

You see through me
I see through you
You see through me

To be in your eyes
To be in your eyes

The Verve – Three Steps
It's alright, alright / We're going through changes / Sometimes in life / You feel yourself rearranging / That's just the way it goes / Come on (repeat) / Why'know we nearly died
The Verve – The Crab
Oh no, no, no, no / And I'm watching her die / On my TV / And the daddy cries / How could it be / And it could be you / And it could be me / Child full of giving / Child full of
The Verve – Echo Bass
In the beds of a million homes / Lie the broken hearted / In the rooms in a million houses / Die the broken hearted / Tell me why, I just started / In the bridges, in the arches
The Verve – Country Song
Dying is easy / It's what I'm living for / I heard a beggar / As he wept on my floor / These days I just can't find my ground / No one seems to see me as I'm walking around / Cause
The Verve – So Sister
I wrote your name in dust on a truck / As it rolled out of town / Just in case my love for you might be found / I cried my tears in a mountain stream / They'll sting you one day
The Verve – Never Wanna See You Cry
I don't like the way that you say you feel fine / When you look so down / And I don't like the way that the pills you take / They just keep you down / Shiny little minds / Trying
The Verve – The Longest Day
Oh, I know it's supposed to be / Some kind of visionary / Laying on your head / We've got you in our hands / Ah, we've been here for so long / Yeah, there's nothing changed
The Verve – Stamped
So, I'm living a bad dream / So, I'm living a bad dream / So, I'm living a bad scene / So, I'm living a bad dream / So, I'm having a bad dream / Oh, Oh, oh, oh ... / In a bad dream
The Verve – Bitter Sweet Symphony (James Lavelle Remix)

The Verve – The Drugs Don’t Work (Demo)
All this talk of getting old / It's getting me down my love / Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown / This time I'm comin' down / And I hope you're thinking of me / As you lay down
The Verve – Lord I Guess I'll Never Know
I heard you stirring in your sleep last night / I was awake with something on my mind / What happens when I leave, will you come with me? / These things I guess I'll never know

[Verse 1] / 'Cause it's a bitter sweet symphony that's life / Trying to make ends meet, you're a slave to money then you die / I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
The Verve – Lucky Man
“Lucky Man” was released as the third single off of Urban Hymns. It applies the same formula to existential angst that Whitney Houston called The Greatest Love of All.
The Verve – Neon Wilderness
[Chorus] / In a neon wilderness / He was restless / Escape loneliness / Find a new address / [Bridge] / Stood before I sink / [Chorus] / In a neon wilderness / Spilled my last
The Verve – Sonnet
“Sonnet” verges on sappy, but some of Ashcroft’s Bono-tastic bombast makes the song soar.
The Verve – Velvet Morning
[Verse 1] / Yes / It's been long / And yes / I still feel strong / [Refrain] / Into the half light / Another velvet morning for me, yeah / [Verse 2] / Time / Stands still / As you
The Verve – Weeping Willow
Weeping Willow stands the test of time because of its talk of guns under pillows and its intense, rich sonic layering.
