My all time favorite Stereophonics song. Kelly has the most amazing voice. The band as a whole should have been huge in the US. Been with em since they came out and wish they would tour the states.
… I'm Black and blue From the wind and the rain I said "I'm sorry for the lies and the pain" I never ever meant to make you cry If I could take it back You know I would I wanna burn up and die … So take a look at me now Since I told you it's over You got a hole in your heart I'll find a four leaf clover You can't tell me this now This far down the line That you're never, ever gonna get over me … You've seen a cross, it's a cross I bear You're drinking, hard up, living without a hope or a care You're making do to please you I hope it makes you smile You're not around for long You gotta see what's gonna move your life right along … So take a look at me now Since I told you it's over You got a hole in your heart I'll find a four leaf clover You can't tell me this now This far down the line That you're never, ever gonna get over me … I'm lost and cold And getting old My head is filled with lies I told … I've been down, been around But I've fallen on my own two feet And I've left you out to drown I never meant for that … I look around, sometimes I stare I think back now and then I hope you know I care I walked away that day trying to treat you right But you were on your track It was me turning back I left you freezing outside … So take a look at me now Since I told you it's over You got a hole in your heart I'll find a four leaf clover You can't tell me this now This far down the line That you're never, ever gonna get over me Never, you'll never get over me No no no, no no Never get over me … But you were on your track, it was me turning back I left you freezing outside … So take a look at me now Since I told you it's over You got a hole in your heart I'll find a four leaf clover You can't tell me this now This far down the line
Im not sure he's talking about drug addiction. If you listen to the whole album ( You gotta go there to come back), it sounds to me like like its all about a relationship break down. Stunning album, amazing band, so underrated its shocking!
Black and blue from the wind and the rain Said I'm sorry for the lies and the pain I never ever meant to make you cry If I could take it back, you know, I would I want to burn up and die So take a look at me now Since I told you it's over You got a hole in your heart I'll find a four leaf clover You can't tell me this now This far down the line That you're never, ever gonna get over me You've seen a cross, it's a cross I bear You're drinking, hard up, living without a hope or a care You're making do to please, see what makes you smile You're not around for long, you gotta see what's gonna move your life right along So take a look at me now Since I told you it's over You got a hole in your heart I'll find a four leaf clover You can't tell me this now This far down the line That you're never, ever gonna get over me I'm lost I'm cold I'm getting old My head is filled with lies I told I've been down I've been around But I've fallen on my own two feet And I've left you out to drown I never meant for that I look around, sometimes I stare I think back now and then, I hope you know I care I walked away that day, trying to treat you right But you were on your track, it was me turning back, I left you freezing outside Never get over me Never get over me Never get over me
RobRocks TV they don’t seem to, probably because of the amount of rasp and Kelly doesn’t want to ruin his voice ala Liam Gallagher. Although he’s gotten it back
