R.E.M. - E-Bow The Letter




Look up, what do you see?
All of you and all of me
Fluorescent and starry
Some of them, they surprise

The bus ride, I went to write this, 4:00 AM
This letter
Fields of poppies, little pearls
All the boys and all the girls sweet-toothed
Each and every one a little scary
I said your name

I wore it like a badge of teenage film stars
Hash bars, cherry mash and tinfoil tiaras
Dreaming of Maria Callas
Whoever she is
This fame thing, I don't get it
I wrap my hand in plastic to try to look through it
Maybelline eyes and girl-as-boy moves
I can take you far
This star thing, I don't get it

(chorus)
I'll take you over, there
I'll take you over, there
Aluminum, tastes like fear, take you there
Adrenaline, it pulls us near
I'll take you over there
It tastes like fear, there
I'll take you over

Will you live to 83?
Will you ever welcome me?
Will you show me something that nobody else has seen?
Smoke it, drink
Here comes the flood
Anything to thin the blood
These corrosives do their magic slowly and sweet
Phone, eat it, drink
Just another chink
Cuts and dents, they catch the light
Aluminum, the weakest link

I don't want to disappoint you
I'm not here to anoint you
I would lick your feet
But is that the sickest move?
I wear my own crown and sadness and sorrow
And who'd have thought tomorrow could be so strange?
My loss, and here we go again

(repeat chorus)

Look up, what do you see?
All of you and all of me
Fluorescent and starry
Some of them, they surprise

I can't look it in the eyes
Seconal, spanish fly, absinthe, kerosene
Cherry-flavored neck and collar
I can smell the sorrow on your breath
The sweat, the victory and sorrow
The smell of fear, I got it

I'll take you over, there
Aluminum, tastes like fear,
Adrenaline, it pulls us near
I'll take you over, take you there
Aluminum, tastes like fear, there
Adrenaline, it pulls us near
I'll take you over take you there
It tastes like fear
It pulls us near
I'll take you over take you there
I'll take you over
It tastes like fear, there
It pulls us near
Pulls us near
Tastes like fear
Tastes like fear
Nearer, nearer
Pulls us near
Over, over, over, over
Over, over, over, over
Yeah, look over
I'll take you there, oh, yeah
I'll take you there
Oh, over
I'll take you there
Over, let me
I'll take you there
I'll take you there
There, there, there, baby, yeah

Marc Almond & Gene Pitney - Something`s Gotten Hold of My Heart

Marc Almond & Gene Pitney - Something`s Gotten Hold of My Heart Lyrics Something's gotten hold of my heart Keeping my soul and my senses apart Something's gotten into my life Cutting its way through my dreams like a knife Turning me up, turning me down Making me smile, making me frown In a world that was war I once lived in a time That was peace With no trouble at all But then you came my way And a feeling of unknown Shook my heart And made me want you to stay All of my nights And all of my days I wanna tell you now Something's gotten hold of my hand Dragging my soul to a beautiful land Something's invaded my night Painting my sleep with a colour so bright Changing the grey, changing the blue Scarlet for me, scarlet for you I've got to know if this is the real thing I've got to know what's making my heart sing, oh yeah A smile and I am lost for a lifetime Each minute spent with you is the right time Every hour (yeah)

Tanita Tikaram -Twist In My Sobriety

Tanita Tikaram -Twist In My Sobriety Lyrics All good children need traveling shoes Drive your problems from here All good people read good books Now your conscience is clear I hear you talk girl Now your conscience is clear In the morning when I wipe my brow Wipe the miles away I like to think I can be so willed And never do what you say I'll never hear you And never do what you say Look my eyes are just holograms Look your love has drawn red from my hands From my hands you know you'll never be More than twist in my sobriety More than twist in my sobriety More than twist in my sobriety We just picked a little empty pie For the fun that people had at night Late at night don't need hostility Timid smile and forts too free I don't care about their different thoughts Different thoughts are good for me Up in arms and chased in whole All God's children took their toll Look my eyes are just holograms Look your love has drawn red from my hands From my hands you know
