Come On Lyrics
I must be feeling low
I talked to God in a phone box on my way home
I told you my answer
I left you my dreams on your answer machine, oh
[Chorus]
Come on
Let the spirit inside you
Don't wait to be found
Come along with my sound
Let the spirit move you
Let the waves come up, they'll fuse you
I never met no one to deny a sound
[Verse 2]
I must be going insane
I called the doctor so he can relieve my pain
He's got a little pill for me
Just a little luxury
Help me through my day
[Chorus]
Come on
Let the spirit inside you
Don't wait to be found
Come along with our sound
Let the spirit move you
Let the wave come up, come fuse you
I never met no one to deny a sound
Oh, come on
Come on
Oh, come on
Come on
Come on
Oh, come on
Oh, come on
Oh
Plus, besides
There's only one life
There's only one life
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
[?][4:36-4:59]
This is a big fuck you
This is a big fuck you
Come on
Just love somebody in the back
Just love somebody in the back
Come on now
Come on now
We're breakin' in
We're breakin' in
We're breakin' in
We're breakin' in
We're breakin' in
We're breakin' in
We're breakin' in
We're breakin' in

“I mean there’s lots of jokes within the album,” Ashcroft told BBC 6 Music. “Liam Gallagher is on the last track ‘Come On’. I don’t think anyone knows this, but if you concentrate you can hear some demented guy screaming ‘come on’. I imagine everyone thinks that’s me, but I remember him doing it.
“He arrived at the studio with the tape of a song he’d just done with [Stone Roses’ guitarist] John Squire. He proceeded, as he does, to play it 15 times in a row in the studio. I played him ‘Bittersweet [Symphony]’, then I said ‘we’re doing ‘Come On’ now, you gotta be on it. He went into this booth with someone else, and he was going ballistic at the end of it – smashing the tambourine against the side of the vocal booth, screaming.”
