They should take over when the clone roses retire

Great cover. One thing, though, is that the lyrics are wrong. The lyrics in the music books are incorrect. They were only a best guess by the record company that issued them. The correct lyrics are..."Ah, 1,2,3, ah 1,2,3, gonna drown this song(drown this song) You see, in this heat, river cool's where I belong...."

[@blib3786]

@@BloodSweatAndMeth He's right, listen to the song closely and you'll hear that Ian and Reni sing "gonna drown this song", not "where the drownings are" like all the lyric sheets online say.

[@blib3786]

@@BloodSweatAndMeth Idk what to tell ya dude, clearly you didn't listen very closely because those are the actual lyrics, Ian definitely sings "drown this song" not "drownings are" it's even more obvious if you listen to live versions.

[@blib3786]

@@BloodSweatAndMeth And there's nothing "patronizing" about what I said, I only said that because it's hard to tell what Ian's actually singing a lot of the time and it's easy to misinterpret the lyrics. If you take offense to that then that's your problem.

[@theageofconversation]

You can't go wrong with The Roses. Even if this cover was terrible (which it isn't), it shows excellent taste.

[@pmussler]

The guys sings it better than Ian!

[@cdchantler]

It’s a really poor approximation of the stone roses. I mean the singer can sing …
