This Is The One Lyrics
A girl consumed by fire
We all know her desire
From the plans that she has made
I had her on a promise
Immerse me in your splendor
All the plans that I have made
This is the one
This is the one
This is the one
This is the one
This is the one
She's waited for
This is the one
This is the one
This is the one
Oh this is the one
This is the one
She's waited for
I'd like to leave the country
For a month of Sundays
Burn the town where I was born
If only she'd believe me
Bellona belladonna
Burn me out or bring me home
This is the one
This is the one
This is the one
This is the one
This is the one
She's waited for
This is the one
This is the one
This is the one
Oh this is the one
This is the one
I've waited for
Oh this is the one
Oh this is the one
This is the one
I've waited for
This is the one
Oh this is the one
Oh this is the one
This is the one
I've waited for
This is the one
This is the one
This is the one
Oh this is the one
This is the one
I've waited for
I've made a plan
But it might go wrong
This is the one
This is the one
She's waited for
And this is the one
This is the one
Oh this is the one
This is the one
She's waited for
This is the one
Oh this is the one
Ah this is the one
This is the one
I've waited for
This is the one
We all know her desire
From the plans that she has made
I had her on a promise
Immerse me in your splendor
All the plans that I have made
This is the one
This is the one
This is the one
This is the one
She's waited for
This is the one
This is the one
Oh this is the one
This is the one
She's waited for
For a month of Sundays
Burn the town where I was born
If only she'd believe me
Bellona belladonna
Burn me out or bring me home
This is the one
This is the one
This is the one
This is the one
She's waited for
This is the one
This is the one
Oh this is the one
This is the one
I've waited for
Oh this is the one
This is the one
I've waited for
Oh this is the one
Oh this is the one
This is the one
I've waited for
This is the one
This is the one
Oh this is the one
This is the one
I've waited for
But it might go wrong
This is the one
This is the one
She's waited for
This is the one
Oh this is the one
This is the one
She's waited for
Oh this is the one
Ah this is the one
This is the one
I've waited for

Greatest song ever. Nothing else comes close.
What does it mean to me? Anything and everything.
@King of Some Island wow, you just wrote like everything and anything i was thinking about this song. thank for you dad. i just recently discovered this song and i am completely blown away. just a couple of days ago a friend of mine killed herself. there was some kind of rememberance for her the day after. and i played this song on the radio and dedicated it to her, this song just has everything what i wanted to say about her and to her...

This is so great... The Stone Roses are bloody brilliant! They send shivers down my spine every single time I listen to them.
@531 that bridge! Amazing that this band can still hold my attention from one, beautiful, amazing album. It's like they gave us Sgt Peppers right away minus the journey to greatness that the Beatles went through.

I agree that it's biblical imagery (there's early versions of it with more obviously biblical lyrics if I remember right) but the lyrics are also very suggestive of Samuel Delany's novel Dhalgren, which is set in a town called Bellona (which is out of "the country") and features among other things a literal "month of Sundays" and a heckuva lot of fire. I reckon one of them had just read it and thought it'd make good lyrics. (And they were right, 'cause "Bellona, Belladonna" sung like that is one of the best lines ever!)
A song about anticipation. Feeling like your train is about to come, or feeling on the verge of the opportunity of a lifetime. Great tension and release. Unbelievably good song with some incredibly deft and moving ensemble playing-these guys were so simpatico and groovy they were untouchable in all of music. Despite the 80's sheen, this is a near perfect record. Every note is in place and next to none are wasted. For me this is right up there with the Beatles.
As per I think this song is about love or an affair. The girl consumed by fire who's desires are obvious because of the plans that she had made. However I get the hint she is not only married but married to a local hardcase. I had her on a promise - not to say anything so the other half doesn't find out. The bloke thinking this is the one being in love and the woman this is the one she's waiting for because he's the only person to go through with her plans. The reason I get the hint she is married to a hard man is because 'she is consumed by fire' or in a dangerous place and the forth verse. I'd like to leave the country for a month of Sunday's (get away from this bloke) burn the town where I was born - get rid of the husband. Bellona Belladonna is a beautifully sung line. Bellona means beautiful woman and belladonna is a deadly nightshade type drug I might have them mixed up but yeah, google it
It's about a girl's transformative experience with molly at a rave... a belle with big (dilated pupils) belladonna eyes... and by extension a metaphor for any ecstatic experience, whatever got you there.
It's clever biblical imagery how the band put This Is The One right before I Am The Resurrection.
Thats a clever interpretation of these songs & positioning........which I agree with!
Wow, is this the greatest Album ever?
For pure pop music i'd rank it right there........bout time for a digital remaster job on it , no?
This song encapsulates everything about everything I reckon. Its such an explosive song that takes you away to another place. it gets your heart beating, and makes you think you can achieve anything. If I was a boxer, this would be the song I'd play coming into the ring. This is the One.......
