I Am The Resurrection lyrics

Down down, you bring me down
I hear you knocking at my door and i can’t sleep at night
Your face, it has no place
No room for you inside my house i need to be alone

Don’t waste your words i don’t need anything from you
I don’t care where you’ve been or what you plan to do

Turn turn, i wish you’d learn
There’s a time and place for everything i’ve got to get it through
Cut loose, you’re no use
I couldn’t stand another second in your company

Don’t waste your words i don’t need anything from you
I don’t care where you’ve been or what you plan to do

Stone me, why can’t you see
You’re a no-one nowhere washed up baby who’d look better dead

Your tongue is far too long
I don’t like the way it sucks and slurps upon my every word

Don’t waste your words i don’t need anything from you
I don’t care where you’ve been or what you plan to do

I am the resurrection and i am the light
I couldn’t ever bring myself to hate you as i’d like

I am the resurrection and i am the light
I couldn’t ever bring myself to hate you as i’d like

  1. In regards to these lyrics , why does everyone say I am the resurrection and I am the light , when in fact I’ve always been told by my other die hard fan friends its infact life not light ??? Can anyone clarify this with the band to put this to rest ? Cheers Andy one love x

  2. The lyrics are definitely “..and I am the LIFE”, similar to the line in the Bible. Also in the Blackpool footage you can see Ian is clearly singing ‘life’, not ‘light’.

  3. The lyrics are in fact
    “I am the ressurection and I am alive
    I couldn’t ever bring myself that’s you as I’d like”

  4. I always thought it was ‘I am the resurrection that I underline’!! Doesn’t matter, that’s what I sing! I always thought he was a bit if a bravado, and I guess that’s why I still listen to the Roses. Best Album ever.

  5. I always thought it was “the light”. Best indie sing of all time. Best album of all time.

  6. “I am the resurrection and I am alive!” – meaning he has been resurrected hence his status of being alive. After he all he is a God in Manchester!🍋🍋🍋

  7. I hope he really comes to know Him who really is the resurrection and the life…Jesus

  8. “I am the resurrection and I am the life, I couldn’t ever be myself to hate you as I’d like” ARE YOU ALL DUMB

  9. According to the two songbooks that I own (both officially endorsed by the band) the lyrics are; ‘I am the resurrection and I am the light’.

  10. No. We’re not all dumb, Anonymous. I’d thought it sang ‘bring myself to hate you as I’d like’, not ‘be myself to hate you as I’d like’.

  11. Who cares what the lyrics are, great song, fantastic album and best band ever

  12. It’s I am the resurrection and I am alive not and I am the light and John Harvey it is bring not be myself I know this as I went to see them twice in a row

  13. I’ve always thought it was,
    “Your tongue is far too long, I don’t like the way you toss a turd upon my every word” which is just about the best song line ever! What’s this “sucks and slurps” nonsense? Gutted!
