Lyrics:

“The Hardest Thing in the World” was originally released as a B-side to “Elephant Stone”. It was later included in the 20th anniversary release of The Stone Roses on disc three, entitled B-sides.
The hardest thing in the world

Holland fades, it don't please
I never wanted to leave
Searching for a perfect day
It never happens that way, a hey, hey, hey

I'm sick and tired and so obscene
Will heaven help me be clean?
Searching for a perfect day (A perfect day)
It never happens that way, a hey, hey, hey

Cut away
I know your world wants you around

You never heard a word I said (A word I said)
It seems simple to me
That if you knew you wouldn't say (You wouldn't say)
It never happens that way, a hey, hey, hey

And the impression I get as the story unfurls
Is that you're the hardest thing in the world

Cut away
I know your world wants you around

What you feel it might not be
It seems suffer to me
I cannot climb to touch your spire
I'm getting higher and higher

Cut away
I know your world wants you around

The hardest thing in the world
