Glycerine (Live) Lyrics
BUSH
Lyrics
It must be your skin I'm sinkin' in
It must be for real, 'cause now I can feel
And I didn't mind; it's not my kind
It's not my time, to wonder why
Everything gone white, everything's gray
Now you're here, now you're away
I don't want this; remember that
I'll never forget, where you're at
Don't let the days go by
Glycerine; glycerine
I'm never alone; I'm alone all the time
Are you at one, or do you lie?
We live in a wheel, where everyone steals
But when we rise, it's like strawberry fields
If I treated you bad, you'd bruise my face
Couldn't love you more; you've got a beautiful taste
Don't let the days go by; could have been easier on you
I couldn't change, though I wanted to
Should have been easier by three
Our old friend; fear, and you, and me
Glycerine, glycerine
Don't let the days go by, glycerine
Don't let the days go by
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Glycerine, glycerine
Oh, glycerine, glycerine
Bad moon whine again
Bad moon whine again
As she falls around me
I needed you more, we wanted us less
Could not kiss, just regress
It might just be clear, simple, and plain
Well that's just fine; that's just one of my names
Don't let the days go by
Could've been easier on you, you, you
Glycerine, glycerine
Glycerine, glycerine
Song & Lyrics Facts
Bush's "Glycerine" is a power ballad that was released on November 28, 1995 as the fourth single from their debut album Sixteen Stone. It was written by lead singer Gavin Rossdale and bassist Dave Parsons and produced by Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley.
The song features lyrics about heartache and regret, which were inspired by Rossdale's break-up with his girlfriend at the time. The song became Bush's biggest hit in both the U.S. and UK, peaking at number four on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and reaching number one in Canada and Australia. The live version of Glycerine was recorded during a concert at Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London in 1996 and featured on the band's 1997 live album Zen X Four. This rendition of the song has become popular among fans due to its extended guitar solo and energetic performance. The lyrics remain true to the studio recording, but the live version showcases the band's ability to bring an emotional intensity to the song.
