I Surrender by David Sylvian
I opened up the pathway of the heart
The flowers died embittered from the start
That night I crossed the bridge of sighs
And I surrendered
I looked back and glimpsed
The outline of a boy
His life of sorrows now collapsing into joy
And tonight the stars are all aligned
And I surrender
My mother cries beneath a southern sky
And I surrender
Recording angels and the poets of the night
Bring back the trophies of
The battles that we fight
Searchlights fill the open skies
And I surrender
Outrageous cries of love
Have called me back
Derailed the trains of thought,
Demolished wayward tracks
You tell me I've no need to wonder why
I just surrender
I stand too close
To see the sleight of hand
How she found this child
Inside the frightened man
Tonight I'm learning how to fly
And I surrender
I've travelled all this way for your embrace
Enraptured by the recognition on your face
Hold me now while my old life dies tonight
And I surrender
My mother cries beneath the open skies
And I surrender
An ancient evening just before the fall
The light in your eyes,
The meaning of it all
Birds fly and fill the summer skies
And I surrender
She throws the burning books into the sea
"Come find the meaning of the word
Inside of me"
It's alright the stars are all aligned
And I surrender
My mother cries beneath the moonlit skies
And I surrender
My body turns to ashes in her hands
The disappearing world
Of footprints in the sand
Tell me now that this love will never die
And I'll surrender
My mother cries beneath the open skies
And I surrender
You're My Meat by Joe Jackson
Outside in and inside out
You're my meat
Ah you're fat and forty
But lordy you're my meat
From your feet to your head
You knock me dead,
You're my meat
I got you covered but baby,
You're my meat
In the days of old when knights were bold
They were pious and modest I'm told
Can't you see that couldn't be me
I'd have to talk about your yams
And your big fat hams
It excites me so because I know
You're my meat
Fat and forty but lordy you're my meat
In the days of old when knights were bold
They were pious and modest I'm told
Can't you see that couldn't be me
I'd have to talk about your yams
And your big fat hams
It excites me so because I know
You're my meat
Fat and forty but lordy you're my meat
Fat and forty but lordy-lordy...
You're my meat
Safe With Me by Mesh
This is my space
No one can ever get in here
This is my place
No one can ever hurt you
Standing
At the foot of your bed
Counting the holes in your head
Waiting
For your breathing to fall
Tracing the cracks in the wall
You don't know I'm there
You'll never know I care
But who's going to keep you safe
When your window is open?
Reach out and I'll be there
Whatever happens to you
You're safe with me
Whatever hurting you do
It won't hurt me
Whatever choices you've made
To seal your fate
You've made them much too late
Reaching
From the edge of this tune (?)
It crushes your breath with its kiss
Silence
Like the beat of your heart
Dragging you into the dark
You don't know I'm there
You'll never know I care
But who's going to watch you sleep
When the latches are broken?
Reach out and I'll be there
Whatever happens to you
You're safe with me
Whatever hurting you do
It won't hurt me
Whatever choices you've made
To seal your fate
You've made them much too late
This is my space
No one can ever get in here
This is my place
No one can ever reveal
This is my space
No one can ever get in here
This is my place
No one can ever hurt you
You don't know I'm there
You'll never know I care
But who's going to pick you up
When your body is broken
Breathe out and I'll be there
Whatever happens to you
You're safe with me
Whatever hurting you do
It won't hurt me
Whatever choices you've made
To seal your fate
You've made them much too late
Whatever happens to you
You're safe with me
Whatever hurting you do
It won't hurt me
Whatever choices you've made
To seal your fate
You've made them much too late
This is my space
No one can ever get in here
This is my place
No one can ever hurt you
Whatever happens to you
You're safe with me
Whatever hurting you do
Whatever happens to you
You're safe with me
Whatever hurting you do
Come Talk To Me by Peter Gabriel
The wretched desert takes it's form
The jackal proud and tight
In search of you I feel my way
Through slowest heaving night
Whatever fear invents
I swear it made no sense
I reach out through the border fence
Come down, come talk to me
In the swirling curling storm of desire
Unuttered words hold fast
With reptile tongue the lightning lashes
Towers built to last
Darkness creeps in like a thief
And offers no relief
Why are you shaking like a leaf?
Come on, come talk to me
Ah please talk to me
Won't you please talk to me
We can unlock this misery
Come on, come talk to me
I did not come to steal
This all is so unreal
Can't you show me how you feel now?
Come on, come talk to me
Come talk to me, come talk to me
The earthly power sucks shadowed milk
From sleepy tears undone
From nippled skin as smooth as silk
The bugles blow as one
You lie there with your eyes half closed
Like there's no one there at all
There's a tension pulling on your face
Come on, come talk to me
Won't you please talk to me
If you'd just talk to me
Unblock this misery
If you'd only talk to me
Don't you ever change your mind
Now your future's so defined
And you act so deaf so blind
Come on, come talk to me
Come talk to me, come talk to me
I can imagine the moment
Breaking out through the silence
All the things that we both might say
And the heart it will not be denied
'Til we're both on the same damn side
All the barriers blown away
I said please talk to me
Won't you please come talk to me
Just like it used to be
Come on, come talk to me
I did not come to steal
This all is so unreal
Can you show me how you feel now
Come on, come talk to me
Come talk to me, come talk to me
I said please talk to me
If you'd just talk to me
Unblock this misery
If you'd only talk to me
Don't you ever change your mind
Now your future's so defined
And you act so deaf so blind
Come on, come talk to me
Come talk to me, come talk to me
When I'm Old by Exhibition
I was born not too long ago
But I've been alive for centuries I know
You can't believe the things that you see
In this world are what they seem
I was told through wisdom of old
That you are alive
With the powers of gold
The forces of fire
That live in your dreams
Are toward what you should aspire
When I'm old
If I'm ever old
I will tell you the secrets
I never told
I'll awaken your dreams
Light the fire within
Lay the world at your feet
Give you something to believe in
I can tell by the light in your eyes
The things that you love
The things you despise
The lies you were told
Blew in from the cold
And were burned by the truth of love
It may seem
Like out of a dream
But the truth is at large
With a powerful scheme
Keep yourself warm
From the rage of the storm
With the fire burnin' in your heart
When I'm old
If I'm ever old
I will tell you the secrets
I never told
I'll awaken your dreams
Light the fire within
Lay the world at your feet
Give you something to believe in
All your life
To never see the world
To never see the light
(see the light)
I was born not too long ago
But I've been alive for centuries I know
You can't believe the things that you see
In this world are what they seem
When I'm old
If I'm ever old
I will tell you the secrets
I never told
I'll awaken your dreams
Light the fire within
Lay the world at your feet
Give you something to believe in
When I'm old
If I'm ever old
I will tell you the secrets
I never told
I'll awaken your dreams
Light the fire within
Lay the world at your feet
Give you something to believe in
When I'm old
If I'm ever old
I will tell you the secrets
I never told
I'll awaken your dreams
Light the fire within
Lay the world at your feet
Give you something to believe in
To never see the world
To never see the light
(To never see the world
To never see the light)
