Richard Ashcroft - Lead the Way [RPA & UNOS B-side]

One of the songs that Ashcroft's website sent to the members of the "fan club".

It was not a real "b-side" but we can call it something like that.

Some parts of the lyrics are very difficult to understand because of the amount of effects that the voice has:

"¿¿¿¿¿¿?????

Don't wanna see you in pain
Maybe we’ll go away
I wanna see you smile
Is that all right ?
In the ¿¿?? light
See you flying high
Songbird singing in the sun
Summer's coming
Everything is bright on every bough
Walking home from the night out
I was lone, so alone
I was learnin’, we'll learn

Don't wanna lose what's in your head
Wanna feel alive not dead
With your laughter no more
Don't know where I've gone
Lost inside, lost inside
Freedom's guru, every smile
Let your balm unwind
You are everything, I cannot let you go
Now you know, now you know
I was lone, so alone
I was learnin’, we'll learn

Can’t run away, escape from class
Always trying, no lie
Always trying to keep you down
Now always clown, find a clown
Don't wanna see you in pain
Wanted to get away
Summer's coming
Things are blooming, there is life
Lead the way, lead the way, lead the way

Don't wanna compromise
Just look in these eyes
Can you see?
Can you see the pain?
I know I can't look back
I know there's no looking back
I know the history's gone
But I've made the mistake before
Yeah, and I can't cry on your floor when I want
And see this behind me, it's my mistake
And life it serves up with your place
And I'm unhappy when I'm there"
