Love and hate, get it wrong
She cut me right back down to size
Sleep the day, let it fade
Who was there to take your place
No one knows, never will
Mostly me, but mostly you
What do you say, do you do
When it all comes down

'Cause I don't want to come back
Down from this cloud
It's taken me all this time to find out

'Cause I don't want to come back
Down from this cloud
It's taken me all this time

There is no blame only shame
When you beg you just complain
The more I come more I try
All police are paranoid
So am I, so's the future
So are you, be a creature
What do you say do you do when it all comes down

'Cause I don't want to come back
Down from this cloud
It's taken me all this time to find out

'Cause I don't want to come back
Down from this cloud
It's taken me all this time

Love and hate, get it wrong
She cut me right back down to size
Sleep the day, let it fade
Who was there to take your place
No one knows, never will
Mostly me, but mostly you
What do you say, do you do
When it all comes down

'Cause I don't want to come back
Down from this cloud
It's taken me all this time to find out

'Cause I don't want to come back
Down from this cloud
It's taken me all this time

I don't wanna come back
Down from this cloud, this cloud, this cloud

Bush

Bush is a rock band formed in London in 1992 shortly after vocalist/guitarist Gavin Rossdale and guitarist Nigel Pulsford met. It was not long before they recruited bassist Dave Parsons, and later drummer Robin Goodridge, and started writing. Dave Parsons joined Bush shortly after leaving the band Transvision Vamp. Drummers such as Sacha Gervasi, Amir, and Spencer Cobrin had all filled in as Bush drummers before Robin Goodridge was made the permanent fit and thus completing the Bush lineup. more »
