Альбом Alison Moyet

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 believing

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

And so am I

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

What a dream
I could feel everything
Silk of softnesses
Why alone I'll be lonely with you
Do I want for diamond skies

Will You take of me
Will you take of me

Not a sound I would hear everything
Everything I hear
Lay me down
Dance can we?
Cast as one into the sea
Will you take of me

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

Exaggeration on the truth
