She said something like I want to go down where the rivers wild He said take me then I want to drown deep in your violent eyes [Feel the water rise again, call the river by your name] I want to float in through your door Hang it on the wall hang it all But I want to be sure of one thing That I'm getting into something peaceful I want to fly in on your wing Way, way up here I don't care for anything It's all in, and I'm not afraid I don't fear Falling
She said listen I've been telling you I'm into something cruel He said give me what got into you I don't care what you do (If there's a full moon in Taiwan I want half of what you're on) I want to open up your mind Leave it all behind you and me we are one of a kind, we may find That we're getting high on something peaceful We're gonna take it for a ride Going nowhere fast but we got nothing to tie ourselves on And I'm not afraid to go down Falling
She said something like I'm tired of me You've got to paint my face He said fold up like a paper boat, set sail for me again I want to fly in on your wing Way, way up here I don't care for anything, it's all in And I'm not afraid I don't fear Falling
She told me today I'm in your way She says your heading somewhere You've a long way to go Even more than she knows She thinks you're half the way there You've learnt nothing much at all No doubt you told her that you stayed with me through pity Honorable you Oh go away Make it easy on yourself Tell them I let you down I'm not the girl you met oh no And if I smile just a little Forgive me but I've read that book as well And I know. You know
Oh now I'm so intrigued Your life's such a read It must be torture for you Unlike one such as me You know all that I need is to pick up after you You don't understand at all You move amongst us like some alien higher being Skimming no plane but yours
So go away Make it easy on yourself Tell them I'm off my head I keep you from yourself And I can't help but smile a little Remembering all you choose to forget And I know
You know that I still feel the world revolving miles beneath my feet You and I were hapless space cadets Mirrored when we meet When I was coming down you let me fall alone Now I think that you've been up too long
You've learnt nothing much at all You move amongst us like some alien higher being Seeing no pain but yours
Oh go away Make it easy on yourself Tell them I let you down I'm not the girl you met oh no And if I smile just a little Forgive me but I've read that book as well And I know. You know
When she said that you were through I thought that there was nothing that I could d Just because she ran right here Doesn't mean I interfered Now I'm wondering of we can feel the same Cause she keeps whispering your name She keeps on whispering your name Like she's just waiting
She once told me how she felt Didn't just want me to hear it from someone else There were unknowns she couldn't know But she hoped you two would grow And when you didn't she was brought to me in pain
And she keeps whispering your name She keeps on whispering your name Like she's just waiting
If it's just a little fling a simple thing I'll try not to pretend If it's just for jealousy she's using me That might be hard to mend
Oh what else can I do But try to give her more than she got from you And when she wakes up suddenly and she says you name to me I'll just hope its force of habit and not need
Cause she keeps whispering your name She keeps on whispering your name Like she's just waiting
Oh tell me what is fair When nothing's wrong And she just stares Like she's just waiting
I'm getting into something You got me into something good Like I knew you would I'm moving into something You move me into something easy And it pleases me Took me by surprise I never saw the light Until you turned it on You got me into something God knows I'm hitting on life And I wonder why the sun ain't shining where you are you know It's alright baby it ain't over Oh it's only ours to loose What is gone well we can't use together So it's alright baby it aint over I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm getting into something You got me into something wild And I'm getting high I'm pulling into something You pull me into something deeper Oh it's deeper now Took me by surprise I never thought that I would give it out again You got me into something God knows I wanna be as close as I'll ever be Something's getting into me You know it's alright baby it aint over Oh it's only ours to loose What is gone well we can't use together So it's alright baby it aint over I didn't mean to hurt you It was nothing I was dreaming But I'd rather live believing
The time you got addictive I was somewhere getting used When you were self-abusive I put out and got abused With you I don't feel the need to qualify my life Lets get it on before it's gone Just meet me at the corner cos it's alright
Baby it aint over Oh it's only ours to loose What is gone well we can't use together So it's alright baby it aint over I didn't mean to hurt you It was nothing I was dreaming But I'd rather live believingGetting Into Something
I'm getting into something You got me into something good Like I knew you would I'm moving into something You move me into something easy And it pleases me Took me by surprise I never saw the light Until you turned it on You got me into something God knows I'm hitting on life And I wonder why the sun ain't shining where you are you know It's alright baby it ain't over Oh it's only ours to loose What is gone well we can't use together So it's alright baby it aint over I didn't mean to hurt you

Our room across is a mile wide She comes and look now how you are the fireside I'm watching, she's waiting to show you the pearls in her Betsy Clark eyes She sighs the whistling winds you sail in She cries and you are alive She's saying she's sorry and oh, So am I So am I For ninety seven days that should have been an hour
I know it's all you can do when she's so very near Praise be the King of the settee and his Guinivere I'll get up and go out and no doubt You're giving it all to her, oh
So am I So am I The ninety-seven days the fifteen blessed hours And it's easy as it goes, so am I How and hour of ninety days will soon run out of time
The weight of the world has the head in your hands (She's Indian giving again) You're sorry and sick and you know
So am I So am I The ninety seven days and fifteen sodding hours came to nothing Taken in? So was I She's going, going gone and you know that's fine
You were alight and I wouldn't look away You said I was sky and caught me anyway How could I ever know you burn all that you hold Now sing to the walls I've cared more I want to go, I want to stay, I want your name And I want nothing that you are Not even when you're moving me (And you're moving me) I want to talk, I want to sleep Want to get up and wash the rest of you away You never had me Satellite
Maybe today I'll not wear you anymore I'll fold you away, lay you down where you belong Maybe you'll wake in time to break open a smile Wide and wild as the Humber
Satellite Are you dancing tonight Are you burning as bright As the she-boy outside The firefly
When he moves I watch him from behind He turns and laughter flickers in his eyes Intent and direct when he speaks I watch his lips When he drives I love to watch his hands White and smooth almost feminine Almost American I have to watch him
In his face age descends on youth Exaggeration on the truth He caught me looking then but soon his eyes forgot And everything he seems to do Reflects just another shade of blue I saw her searching into you and ached a while
I watch his lips caress the glass His fingers stroke its stem and pass To lift a cigarette at last He dries his eyes From the shadows by the stair I watch as he weeps unaware That I'm in awe of his despair
I'm running up the stairs I can hardly breath again Into your arms and a perfect day From the garden where we lay With the roses all aflame You called my name and I meant to say It's been too long, so long
I looked for your face watching down from the window Wave me till I'm gone I remember the dress you wore And you're still here with me, but maybe Dorothy it's been too long, so long
Now I'm waiting in the dark In the strangeness of your bed To hide my face where you lay your head As I listen to the room And it speaks about a distance never met You were there and yet Dorothy it's been too long, so long
You left without saying goodbye And I was so impatient then Always one to cynical to pray But I talked to you today D'you hear me? Dorothy it's been too long, so long
Ours was the best September Of blue and gold it was Of aching nights And sleep-all days I made my way to meet you By then the air had changed And you had seen me everywhere and they sparkled And shined like new Like you said I used to Another magic day is lost on you And all the love falls through your fingers Another living day is lost and gone on you
One night you took me driving You coloured everyone in shades that I'd never seen You said someone had left you You'd tried your very best (What silver clouded eyes see) Saying stay when leaving me When I'm all that you need Another magic day is lost on you And all the love falls through your fingers Another living day is lost and gone on you
If you could feel it now Warmer than magenta skies My spirits burning just like the blazing cheeks on the face Of a young child And it's wild
Another magic day is lost on you [What a day another living day]
How are you, can I look a little closer Well let me introduce you to Say how d'you do believer So tell me is he young enough Or could it be hung up enough And does he help to keep it up when he's handing It out to please you Do you ever think the night away How about the day ain't it getting long These eggshell hearts you're tripping on
Oh when you've got money you can build a bomb Oh it's beautiful, touching up your lonely nights Oh how you shine when you throw all the suckers on Tired of every single one
Oh you're filth, you're filth, you're filthy And someone' gonna hose you down You're gonna be sorry for the way you whore a life around Now tell me he is young enough Or could it be hung up enough Or maybe just hung up enough to keep it up when you're flagging Do you ever soak the night away How about the day ain't it getting long These eggshell hearts you're tripping on
When she said that you were through I thought that there was nothing that I could d Just because she ran right here Doesn't mean I interfered Now I'm wondering of we can feel the same Cause she keeps whispering your name She keeps on whispering your name Like she's just waiting
She once told me how she felt Didn't just want me to hear it from someone else There were unknowns she couldn't know But she hoped you two would grow And when you didn't she was brought to me in pain
And she keeps whispering your name She keeps on whispering your name Like she's just waiting
If it's just a little fling a simple thing I'll try not to pretend If it's just for jealousy she's using me That might be hard to mend
Oh what else can I do But try to give her more than she got from you And when she wakes up suddenly and she says you name to me I'll just hope its force of habit and not need
Cause she keeps whispering your name She keeps on whispering your name Like she's just waiting
Oh tell me what is fair When nothing's wrong And she just stares Like she's just waiting
It's that ole devil called love again, Gets behind me and keeps giving me the shove again, Putting rain in my eyes, tears in my dreams, And rocks in my heart.
It's that sly ole son of a gun again, He keeps telling me, I'm the lucky one again. But I still have that rain, still have those tears, And those rocks in my heart.
S'pose I didnt stay - ran away - didn't play, The devil what a potion, he would brew.
He'd follow me around, build me up, tear me down, Till I'll be so bewildered, I wont know what to do. Might as well, give up the fight again. I know darn well, he'll convince me, that he's right again. When he sings that sorry song, I'm just gonna tag along, With that ole devil called love.

Round, Like a circle in a spiral Like a wheel within a wheel Never ending or beginning On an ever-spinning reel Like a snowball down a mountain Or a carnival balloon Like a carousel that's turning Running rings around the moon Like a clock whose hands are sweeping Past the minutes of its face And the world is like an apple Rolling silently in space Like the circles that you find In the windmills of your mind
Like a tunnel that you follow To a tunnel of its own Down a hollow to a cavern Where the sun has never shone Like a door that keeps revolving In a half-forgotten dream All the ripples from a pebble Someone tosses in a stream
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping Past the minutes of its face And the world is like an apple Rolling silently in space Like the circles that you find In the windmills of your mind
Keys that jingle in your pocket Words that jangle in your head Why did summer go so quickly? Was it something that you said? Lovers walk along the shore Leave their footprints in the sand Is the sound of distant drumming Just the fingers of your hand? Pictures hanging in a hallway Or the fragment of this song Half-remembered names and faces But to whom do they belong? When you knew that it was over You Were suddenly aware That the autumn leaves were turning To the colour of his hair?
Like a circle in a spiral Like a wheel within a wheel Never ending or beginning On an ever-spinning reel As the images unwind Like the circles that you find In the windmills of your mind
Almost blue Almost doing things we used to do There's a boy here and he's almost you Almost all the things that your eyes once promised I see in his too Now your eyes are red from crying
Almost blue Flirting with this disaster became me It named me as the fool who only aimed to be
Almost blue It's almost touching it will almost do There's a part of me that's always true...always Not all good things come to an end now it is only a chosen few I've seen such an unhappy couple
Je crois entendre encore Cache sous les palmiers Sa voix tendre et sonore Comme un chant de ramiers. Oh nuit enchanteresse Divin ravissement Oh souvenir charmant, Folle ivresse, doux reve!
Aux clartes des etoiles Je crois encor la voir Entr'ouvrir ses longs voiles Aux vents tiedes du soir. Oh nuit enchanteresse Divin ravissement Oh souvenir charmant Folle ivresse, doux reve!
Charmant Souvenir! Charmant Souvenir!
----- Translation:
I still believe I hear hidden beneath the palm trees your voice tender and deep like the song of a dove oh night enchantress divine rapture delightful thought mad intoxication, sweet dream in the clear starlight I still believe I see in between the long sails of the warm night breeze oh night...etc.
What are you doing the rest of your life? North and South and East and West of your life I have only one request of your life That you spend it all with me. All the seasons and the times of your days. All the nickels and the dimes of your days. Let the reasons and the rhymes of your days. All begin and end with me. I want to see your face, In every kind of light, In fields of gold and Forests of the night; And when you stand before The candles on a cake. Oh let me be the one to hear The silent wish you make. Those tomorrows waiting deep in your eyes In the world of love you keep in your eyes, I'll awaken what's asleep in your eyes, It may take a kiss or two.. Through all of my life.. Summer, Winter, Spring and Fall of my life, All I ever will recall of my life Is all of my life with you.
