The Stone Roses were an English alternative rock band formed in Manchester in 1984. They were one of the pioneering groups of the Madchester movement that was active during the late 1980s and early 1990s. The band's original lineup consisted of Ian Brown (vocals), John Squire (guitar), Andy Couzens (guitar), Pete Garner (bass) and Alan "Reni" Wren (drums). Couzens and Garner left in 1987. Couzens' position was left vacant and Garner was replaced by Gary "Mani" Mounfield in 1987, and this completed the band's most visible lineup. Reni would depart in 1995 and was replaced by Robbie Maddix, and a year later Squire departed and was replaced by Aziz Ibrahim. Nigel Ippinson joined the band in 1995. Wikipedia

The Stone Roses - Mersey Paradise

River splashes against the rocks And I scale a slope I hope the tracks won't Lead me down to dark black pits or Places where we fall to bits If she were there I'd hold her down I'll push her under while she drowns and Couldn't breathe and call for air She doesn't care for my despair Or is it me? Or the one that's wrong You see it in the sea River cool's where I belong In my Mersey paradise As I stare an oil wheel comes Sailing by and I feel like Growing fins and falling in With the bricks, the bikes, the rusty tin I'll Swim along without a care I'm eating sand when I need air you can Bet your life I'll meet a Pike who'll Wolf me down for tea tonight I want to be Where the drownings are You see it in the sea River cools where I belong In my Mersey paradise I want to be Where the drownings are You see it in the sea River cools where I belong Oh yeah I want to be Where the drownings are You see it in the sea River cools where I belong In my Mersey paradise
