Richard Ashcroft – Beatitudes lyrics

Beatitude, this is the gospel truth
This is the beatitude, this is the gospel truth
This is the beatitude, this is the gospel truth
This is the beatitude, this is the gospel truth
This is the beatitude, this is the gospel truth
This is the beatitude, this is the gospel truth

I'm not a gambling man, understand
With this life you gotta know what's wrong and right
This is the city of the lights, yeah
London town waking up the world

I gotta get on a train, I don't mind
Where it takes me, I'm just ready for the mission
There's no division in life, I bring the light
Now come on, are you ready?

This is the beatitudes, this is the gospel truth
This is the beatitudes, this is the gospel truth
This is the beatitudes, this is the gospel truth
This is the beatitudes, this is the gospel truth

Oh-oh-yeah, oh-oh-yeah, oh-oh-yeah

I'm sick of messing up
You know I'm losing my grip, you know I lost my touch
And now I'm coming back to reach, you know I got the crown
And I'm never gonna pass it on or lay it down

You gotta fight me on the ladder as I'm coming up
Sweet Jesus gonna help me and I'm cracking up
I take the Buddha to the middle and I'm back again
My gnosis, the process is electrifyin'
Yeah, know ya, I'm renown, yeah

It's the beatitudes, yeah, the gospel truth
This is the beatitudes, this is the gospel truth
This is the beatitudes, this is the gospel truth
This is the beatitudes, this is the gospel truth

Oh-oh-yeah, oh-oh-yeah, oh-oh-yeah, oh-oh-yeah
Oh-oh-yeah, oh-oh-yeah, oh-oh-yeah

Sick of messing up
Sick of losing my faith but now I got the touch
Oh Lord, take me away from this pain and shit
I'm sick of losing my mind but I can see through it

Come on and set my sail to the sunshine
Oh God, let's see, knowing the error of mine
This is the river of life and now I'm sailing fast
I'm jumping up and I'm out, I'm like a fish with legs
Yeah, put it together

It's the beatitudes, this the gospel truth
This is the beatitudes, this is the gospel truth
This is the beatitudes, this is the gospel truth
This is the beatitudes, this is the gospel truth

My-my-yeah, my-my-yeah, my-my-yeah, my-my-yeah
My-my-yeah, my-my-yeah, my-my-yeah, my-my-yeah
Oh, alright, oh, alright, these are the beatitudes, oh yeah

I know the gospel truth, oh-oh-yeah
This is the beatitude, oh-oh-yeah
This is the gospel truth, oh-oh-yeah
This is the beatitudes, oh-oh-yeah
This is the gospel truth, oh-oh-yeah
Is that the beatitudes?

This is the beatitude, this is the gospel truth
This is the beatitude, this is the gospel truth
This is the beatitude, this is the gospel truth
This is the beatitude, this is the gospel truth
This is the beatitude
