Here It Comes

I'm not so sure, and yet I know
Give me your life
It's worthless anyhow
And here it comes

I'm not so tall
As I like to think I am
Though I'll be found
Forever in your pain

And here it comes

I'd rather be no one
Than someone with no one
I'd rather be no one
Than someone with no one
I'd rather be no one
Than someone with no one to love
I am useless for her
Yeah yeah useless for her

I'd rather be no one
Than someone with no one
I'd rather be no one
Than someone with no one
I'd rather be no one
Than someone with no one to love
I am useless for her
Yeah yeah useless for her

First live performance:
In 1985

Details:
The Complete Stone Roses version of Here It Comes has remnants of the Roses' early punk sound but has more melody.

At the end of the song, Ian cleverly subverts "for her" into "f***er" ("I'm 'a useless for her" / "I'm a useless f***er"). The Garage Flower version contains the most obvious example of this.
