Richard Ashcroft
On a Beach
[Verse 1]
I, I have swum those ragin' seas
Washed up by an ocean who had tired of me
How I survived? I will never know
But this wreck's got a home and a whole lot of hope
[Refrain]
I'm out on a beach, sat on a rock
Thinkin' of you and the love I got
Saw the devil's servant, I sent her home
I said, "Bring me your master, I don't want his dog"
[Chorus]
I'm on fire
I'm full of love and new desire
I'm on fire
I'm full of love and new desire
Full of love and new desire
[Verse 2]
I lit my fire, blew my conch
Nobody comes
I built my boat from bamboo
But it sunk
I looked at the sky for vapor trails
Nobody comes
I wrote your name on a tree
Along with the days this has taken you away from me
[Refrain]
I'm out on a beach, eatin' my heart
Thinkin' of you and the love I got
Saw the devil's servant, I sent her home
I said, "Bring me your master, I don't want his dog"
[Chorus]
But, I'm on fire
I'm full of love and new desire (I need somebody like you)
I won't cry, yeah
I ain't afraid to die
I ain't afraid to die (There you [?] go)
I ain't afraid to die
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro: Refrain, Chorus, Verse 2]
I'm out on a beach, eatin' my heart
Thinkin' of you and the love I got
Saw the devil's serpent, I sent him home
I said, "Bring me your master, I don't want his dog"
I'm out on a beach, sat on a rock
Thinkin' of you and the love I got
Saw the devil's servant, I sent her home
I said, "Bring me your master, I don't want his dog"
I'm out on a beach, sat on a rock
Thinkin' of you and the love I got
Saw the devil's servant, I sent her home (I need somebody like you)
I said, "Bring me your master, I don't want his dog"
I'm on fire (I'm out on a beach, eatin' my heart, thinkin' of you and the love I got) (I lit my fire and I slit my conch, I eat the beetles and bugs)
I'm full of love and new desire (Saw the devil's servant, I sent her home
I said, "Bring me your master, I don't want his dog") (I need somebody like you)
I'm on fire (I'm out on a beach, sat on a rock, thinkin' of you and the love I got) (I built my boat from bamboo, but it sunk)
I ain't afraid to die (Saw the devil's servant, I sent her home, I said, "bring me your master, I don't want his dog") (I need somebody like you)
I'm on fire (I'm out on a beach, eatin' my heart, thinkin' of you and the love I got) (I lit my fire and I slit my conch, I eat the beetles and bugs) (I need somebody like you)
