Come On

This song makes a lot of sense...As the album progresses, the band explore more and more themes of harsh realities and missed oppertunities, but always in a fairly objective way. This, the closing track on the album, is Ashcroft's chance to let it all out. Instrumentally, this is the heaviest track on the album, and also the one with the strongest lyrics. The 'fuck you's' are the only expletives on the entire album, and as the song progesesses, you can almost feel the tension building, untill is is released in an explosion of sound in a way that only The Verve can create...Utter genius....

there's something about the juxtaposition of the religious in the beginning with talk of pills, and the ending part which is more "hardcore" if you can call it that...it seems to work really neatly, and richard ashcroft injects a certain seething anguish that i find awesome

One comment for this song? Unbelievable... It seems to have the religious thing, and then the complete opening up with the chorus. And of course, the end... amusing.

...But really, I wonder what's up with the end of the song? The very passionate F.U.'s.

"I must be going insane I called the doctor so he can relieve my pain"

My favourite part...

this song raises me into a frenzy, a lets ave it song

the verve were great

To me it's Mad Richard speaking out about fame and all of the turmoil the band went through in order to make it big. In an issue of Rolling Stone, Richard is on the cover and inside, the article quotes him as saying "It's about fu**in time."

Best song ever. The passion in his voice is unbelievable.

the whole "just a little luxury" thing about the pills seems very sarcastic and patronising to "the doctor", like he says it in a proper scathing tone. mint song, another verve song about absoloutely anything, everything, time, depression and euphoria
