Deeper Understanding
by Kate Bush

Album : The Sensual World

As the people here grow colder
I turn to my computer
And spend my evenings with it
Like a friend.

I was loading a new programme
I had ordered from a magazine:

"Are you lonely, are you lost?
This voice console is a must."
I press Execute.

"Hello, I know that you've been feeling tired.
I bring you love and deeper understanding.
Hello, I know that you're unhappy.
I bring you love and deeper understanding."

Well I've never felt such pleasure.
Nothing else seemed to matter.
I neglected my bodily needs.

I did not eat, I did not sleep,
The intensity increasing,
'Til my family found me and intervened.

But I was lonely, I was lost,
Without my little black box.
I pick up the phone and go, Execute.

"Hello, I know that you've been feeling tired.
I bring you love and deeper understanding.
Hello, I know that you're unhappy.
I bring you love and deeper understanding."

I turn to my computer like a friend.
I need deeper understanding.
Give me deeper understanding.

Well, I think everybody that loves the org can relate

And explane why!

Forbidden Colours
By Ryuichi Sakamoto featuring David Sylvian

The wounds on your hands never seem to heal
I thought all I needed was to believe

Here am I, a lifetime away from you
The blood of Christ, or the beat of my heart
My love wears forbidden colours
My life believes

Senseless years thunder by
Millions are willing to give their lives for you
Does nothing live on?

Learning to cope with feelings aroused in me
My hands in the soil, buried in side of myself
My love wears forbidden colours
My life believes in you once again

I'll go walking in circles
While doubting the very ground beneath me
Trying to show unquestioning faith in everything
Here am I, a lifetime away from you
The blood of Christ, or a change of heart

My love wears forbidden colours
My life believes
My love wears forbidden colours
My life believes in you once again

This song was important to me growing up. Alongside the English language, I learnt the meaning of these words and the deepest corners of my own mind

Simple
By KD Lang

flawless light in a darkening air
alone...and shining there
love will not elude you

love is simple
i worship this tenacity
and the beautiful struggle we're in
love will not elude us

love is simple
be sure to know that

all in love
is ours
and love, as a philosophy
is simple

i am calm in oblivion
calm, as i ever have been
love will not elude me
love is simple
be sure to know that
all in love
is ours...
is ours...

that all in love
is ours
and love, as philosophy
is simple...
and ours...

This song is a giving me loads of support lately. First time I heard the latest version, I cried. It reminds me of all things that are beautiful, simple. A sunray, the smile on the faces of my nephews.

All I Want
Joni Mitchell

I am on a lonely road and I am traveling
Traveling, traveling, traveling
Looking for something, what can it be
Oh I hate you some, I hate you some
I love you some
Oh I love you when I forget about me
I want to be strong I want to laugh along
I want to belong to the living
Alive, alive, I want to get up and jive
I want to wreck my stockings in some juke box dive
Do you want - do you want - do you want
To dance with me baby
Do you want to take a chance
On maybe finding some sweet romance with me baby
Well, come on

All I really really want our love to do
Is to bring out the best in me and in you too
All I really really want our love to do
Is to bring out the best in me and in you
I want to talk to you, I want to shampoo you
I want to renew you again and again
Applause, applause - life is our cause
When I think of your kisses
My mind see-saws
Do you see - do you see - do you see
How you hurt me baby
So I hurt you too
Then we both get so blue

I am on a lonely road and I am traveling
Looking for the key to set me free
Oh the jealousy, the greed is the unraveling
It’s the unraveling
And it undoes all the joy that could be
I want to have fun, I want to shine like the sun
I want to be the one that you want to see
I want to knit you a sweater
Want to write you a love letter
I want to make you feel better
I want to make you feel free
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm,
Want to make you feel free
I want to make you feel free

Now this song, this song was hard to take out of it's album's context, but I did it just the same. It's words, it's timbre bring to mind the first time love touched me deeper than anything ever before.
This is the record my first boyfriend used to play EVERY sunday morning while I was sleeping in and he was in the kitchen making croissants. This song holds a promise.

Shimmer Lyrics
Artist: Shawn Mullins (Buy Shawn Mullins CDs)
Album: Soul's Core


Sharing with us what he knows
shining eyes are big and blue
and all around him water flows
this world to him is new
this world to him is new
to touch a face
to kiss a smile
new eyes see no race
the essence of a child
the essence
he's born to shimmer he's born to shine
he's born to radiate
he's born to live he's born to love
but we'll teach him not to hate
true love it is a rock
smoothed over by a stream
no ticking of a clock
truly measures what that means
truly measures what that means
and this thing they call our time
heard a brilliant woman say
she said you know it's crazy
how I want to capture mine
I think I love this woman's way
I think I love this woman's
way she shimmers, the way she shines
the way she radiates
the way she lives, the way she loves
the way she never hates
sometimes I think of all this that can surround me
I know it all as being mine
but she kisses me and and wraps herself around me
she gives me love, she gives me time
yeahh.... and I fine
but time I cannot change
so here's to looking back
you know I drink a whole bottle
of my pride
and I toast to change
to keep these demons off my back
to keep these demons off my back
cause I want to shimmer, i want to shine
I want to radiate
I want to live, I want to love
I want to try to learn not to hate
try not to hate
we're born to shimmer
we're born to shine
we're born to live, we're born to love
we're born to never hate

My live

Janet Jackson, "You"

Here I am in your face,
Tellin' truths and not your old lies.
Seems to me that you care,
And you know that you're runnin' out of time.
See ya can't get away.
I'll be here forever and again,
Whisperin' in your ear.
Do believe 'cause you know you cannot win.

Spent most your life pretending not to be
The one you are but who you choose to see.
Learned to survive in you fictitious world.
Does what they think of you determine your worth?
If special's what you feel when you're with them,
Taken away, you feel less-than again.

You gotta mean what you say,
You gotta say what you mean.
Tryin' to please everyone,
Sacrifice your own needs.
Check in the mirror, my friend.
No lies will be told then.
Pointin' the finger again,
You can't blame nobody but you.

There's a feelin' inside,
No you cannot change it right away.
Gotta make a try,
And with time it'll start to go away.
I'll be here when you need
That one to sit and cry to.
'Cause I'm the you you forgot,
The only one you know you cannot lie to.

Bitter you'll be if you don't change your ways.
When you hate you, you hate everyone that day.
Unleash this sacred child that you've grown into.
You cannot run for you can't hide from you.

You gotta mean what you say,
You gotta say what you mean.
Tryin' to please everyone,
Sacrifice your own needs.
Check in the mirror, my friend.
No lies will be told then.
Pointin' the finger again,
You can't blame nobody but you.

Prince, "Purple Rain"

I never meant 2 cause U any sorrow,
I never meant 2 cause U any pain.
I only wanted 2 one time see U laughing,
I only want 2 see U laughing in the purple rain.

Purple rain, purple rain.
Purple rain, purple rain.
Purple rain, purple rain;
I only wanted 2 see u bathing in the purple rain.

I never wanted 2 be your weekend lover,
I only wanted 2 be some kind of friend.
Baby I could never steal U from another,
it's such a shame our friendship had 2 end.

Purple rain, purple rain.
Purple rain, purple rain.
Purple rain, purple rain;
I only want 2 see U underneath the purple rain.

Honey I know times are changing,
It's time we all reach out 4 something new.
U say U want a leader,
But U can't seem 2 make up your mind.
I think U better close it,
And let me guide U 2 the purple rain.

Purple rain, purple rain.
Purple rain, purple rain.
Purple rain, purple rain;
I only want 2 see U, only want 2 see U
In the purple rain.

World In My Eyes
Depeche Mode

Let me take you on a trip
Around the world and back
And you won't have to move
You just sit still

Now let your mind do the walking
And let my body do the talking
Let me show you the world in my eyes

I'll take you to the highest mountain
To the depths of the deepest sea
And we won't need a map
Believe me

Now let my body do the moving
And let my hands do the soothing
Let me show you the world in my eyes

That's all there is
Nothing more than you can feel now
That's all there is

Let me put you on a ship
On a long, long trip
Your lips close to my lips

All the islands in the ocean
All the heaven's in motion
Let me show you the world in my eyes

That's all there is
Nothing more than you can touch now
That's all there is

Let me show you the world in my eyes

A song reflecting 1990. An almost empty shore. The stars. Around fifteen people talking, drinking, laughing. And dancing. A black celebration. Black as in night, stars and fire to light us. His lips my only food.

I like this thread...

I wonder where the Gooey Kablooey is....

Devoted The Everly Brothers

Darling you can count on me
'Till the sun dries up the sea
Until then I'll always be
Devoted to you

I'll be yours through endless time
I'll adore your charm sublime
Guess by now you'll know that I'm
Devoted to you

I'll never hurt you
I'll never lie
I'll never be untrue
I'll never give you reason to cry
I'd be unhappy
If you were blue

Through the years our love will grow
Like a river it will flow
It can't die because I'm so
Devoted to you

I'll never hurt you
I'll never lie
I'll never be untrue
I'll never give you reason to cry
I'd be unhappy
If you were blue

Through the years our love will grow
Like a river it will flow
It can't die because I'm so
Devoted to you

This is an old un, but it chokes me whenever I hear it.....

"Way To Fall" -Starsailor

Son
You've got a way to fall
They'll tell you where to go
But they won't know

Son
You'd better take it all
They'll tell you what they know
But they won't show

Oh
I've got something in my throat
I need to be alone
While I suffer

Son
You've got a way to kill
They're picking on you still
But they don't know

Son
You'd better wait to shine
They'll tell you what is yours
But they'll take mine

Oh
I've got something in my throat
I need to be alone
While I suffer

Oh
There's a hole inside my boat
And I need stay afloat
For the summer
Long

Oh
I've got something in my throat
I need to be alone
While I suffer

Oh
There's a hole inside my boat
And I need stay afloat
For the summer

Son
You've got to wait to fall
They'll tell you where to go
But they won't know

Sorta my feelings at the moment really. But nevermind.

Into Temptation
Crowded House


You opened up your door
I couldn't believe my luck
You in your new blue dress
Taking away my breath

The cradle is soft and warm
It couldn't do me no harm
You're showing me how to give

Into temptation
Knowing full well the earth will rebel
Into Temptation

A moment of nervous words
Could never amount to betrayal
Sentence is all my own
And the price is to watch it fail
As I turn to go
You looked at me for half a second
With an open invitation
For me to go...

Into temptation
Knowing full well the earth will rebel
Into temptation
Safe in the wide open arms of hell
We can go sailing in
Climb down...
Lose yourself, when you linger on
Into temptation
Right were you belong

The guilty get no sleep
In the last slow hours of morning
Experience is cheap
I should have listened to the warning
But the cradle is soft and warm...

Into temptation
Knowing full well the earth will rebel
Into the wide open arms
No way to break this spell
Break this spell

Don't tell...

Man, I was about to break out with some Neil Finn... This one:

Turn and Run

Turn and Run (N.Finn)

There's a light overhead, overhead
In the sky overhead, overhead
and i'm with you now in body and music and mind
and we're silent and still
everything's so out of control tonight

in a plane that's flying fast
at a speed that makes me cry
have you left me now
to trouble that won't let me lie
i'm awake all the time
you know where i stand
holding my plastic gun
so turn and run

you cold killers of innocence
against us there's no defense
your flash and your wickedness
you can't break our love

tie my hands behind my back
put a gag on top of my mouth
but i won't give you up
till silverware's covered in dust
and my shoes fall apart
and the tumbleweed runs
over my desert heart
so turn and run

you cold killers of innocence
against us there's no defense
your flash and your wickedness
will surely bring you down again
somehow we must stay afloat
won't give into the undertow
something's you will never know
you can't break our love
you can pull us down
but you can't break our love

Ooh-oo child
Things are gonna get easier
Ooh-oo child
Things'll get brighter
Ooh-oo child
Things are gonna get easier
Ooh-oo child
Things'll get brighter
Some day, yeah
We'll get it together and we'll get it all done
Some day
When your head is much lighter
Some day, yeah
We'll walk in the rays of a beautiful sun
Some day
When the world is much brighter
Ooh-oo child
Things are gonna be easier
Ooh-oo child
Things'll get be brighter
Ooh-oo child
Things are gonna be easier
Ooh-oo child
Things'll get be brighter
Some day, yeah
We'll get it together and we'll get it all done
Some day
When your head is much lighter
Some day, yeah
We'll walk in the rays of a beautiful sun
Some day
When the world is much brighter
Some day, yeah
We'll get it together and we'll get it all done
Some day

Forever In Bluejeans
Neil Diamond

Money talks
But it don't sing and dance
And it don't walk
Long as I can have you
Here with me
I'd much rather be
Forever in blue jeans

Honey's sweet
But ain't nothing next to
Baby's treat
And if you pardon me
I'd like to say
We'll do okay
Forever in blue jeans

Maybe tonight
Maybe tonight, by the fire
All alone you and I
Nothing around, but the sound
Of my heart and your sighs

Money talks
But it can't sing and dance
And it can't walk
Long as I can have you
Here with me
I'd much rather be
Forever in blue jeans babe

And Honeys sweet
But ain't nothing next to baby's treat
If you pardon me
I'd like to say
We'll do okay
Forever in blue jeans
Maybe tonight
Maybe tonight, by the fire
All alone you and I
Nothing around, but the sound
Of my heart and your sighs

Well money talks
But it don't sing and dance
And it don't walk
Long as I can have you
Here with me
I'd much rather be
Forever in blue jeans

As long as I can have you
Here with me
I'd much rather be
Forever in blue jeans babe

As long as I can have you
Here with me
I'd much rather be
Forever in blue jeans babe

Pray God you can cope.
I stand outside this woman's work,
This woman's world.
Ooh, it's hard on the man,
Now his part is over.
Now starts the craft of the father.

I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.
I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.

I should be crying, but I just can't let it show.
I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking

Of all the things I should've said,
That I never said.
All the things we should've done,
That we never did.
All the things I should've given,
But I didn't.

Oh, darling, make it go,
Make it go away.

Give me these moments back.
Give them back to me.
Give me that little kiss.
Give me your hand.

(I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.
I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.)

I should be crying, but I just can't let it show.
I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking

Of all the things we should've said,
That were never said.
All the things we should've done,
That we never did.
All the things that you needed from me.
All the things that you wanted for me.
All the things that I should've given,
But I didn't.

Oh, darling, make it go away.
Just make it go away now.

Whispers And Moans
Crowded House


Dull dull grey, the colour of our times
Cool cool space that I still hope to find
Far beyond the veil
The sound of whispers and moans

Slow time bomb, the clamour of the street
I hear this town it never goes to sleep
And I will catch the taxi driver
Weeping like a wounded beast

Then I wake up in your room
Share one piece of your life
When tomorrow comes
We may not be here at all
Without your whispers and moans
Here you come to carry me home
Here you come to carry me home

Love that sound, time erase
Tension wheels, cool heels
Won't ya come on open the bid before too long

I wake up in your room
Share one piece of your life
I'd give anything to be a fly upon the wall
And hear your whispers and moans
I like to hear your whispers and moans
Here you come to carry me home

We are the mirrors of each other
In a lifetime of suspicion
Cleansed in a moment
A flash of recognition
You gave your life for it
Worth its weight in gold and growing empires
Art collectors and Alans sound investments
Will one day be forgotten
One day be forgotten

Yeah...

Fall At Your Feet
Crowded House


I'm really close tonight
And I feel like I'm moving inside her
Lying in the dark
I think that I'm beginning to know her
Let it go
I'll be there when you call

Whenever I fall at your feet
And you let your tears rain down on me
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain

You're hiding from me now
There's something in the way that you're talking
The words don't sound right
But I hear them all moving inside you
Go, I'll be waiting when you call

Whenever I fall at your feet
And you let your tears rain down on me
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain

The finger of blame has turned upon itself
And I'm more than willing to offer myself
Do you want my presence or need my help
Who knows where that might lead

I fall....

Whenever I fall at your feet
And you let your tears rain down on me
Whenever I fall
Whenever I fall

Rich Mullins--If I Stand

There's more that rises in the morning
Than the sun
And more that shines in the night
Than just the moon
It's more than just this fire here
That keeps me warm
In a shelter that is larger
Than this room

And there's a loyalty that's deeper
Than mere sentiments
And a music higher than the songs
That I can sing
The stuff of Earth competes
For the allegiance
I owe only to the Giver
Of all good things

So if I stand let me stand on the promise
That you will pull me through
And if I can't, let me fall on the grace
That first brought me to You
And if I sing let me sing for the joy
That has born in me these songs
And if I weep let it be as a man
Who is longing for his home

There's more that dances on the prairies
Than the wind
More that pulses in the ocean
Than the tide
There's a love that is fiercer
Than the love between friends
More gentle than a mother's
When her baby's at her side

And there's a loyalty that's deeper
Than mere sentiments
And a music higher than the songs
That I can sing
The stuff of Earth competes
For the allegence
I owe only to the Giver
Of all good things

So if I stand let me stand on the promise
That you will pull me through
And if I can't let me fall on the grace
That first brought me to You
And if I sing let me sing for the joy
That has born in me these songs
And if I weep let it be as a man
Who is longing for his home

And if I stand let me stand on the promise
That you will pull me through
And if I can't let me fall on the grace
That first brought me to You
And if I sing let me sing for the joy
That has born in me these songs
And if I weep let it be as a man
Who is longing for his home

And if I weep let it be as a man
Who is longing for his home

Let's go down to the snack bar,
let's go down to the snack bar,
let's go down to the snack bar
and have ourselves a treat.

When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you
Is only a heartbeat away
When I need love
I hold out my hand and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day

Miles and miles of empty space in between us
A telephone can't take the place of your smile
But I won't be traveling forever
It's cold out, but hold out
And do like I do

When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you
Is only a heartbeat away

It's not easy when the road is your driver
But honey that's the heavy load that we bear
But I won't be traveling a lifetime
It's cold out, but hold out
And do like I do
When I need you

But I won't be traveling a lifetime
It's cold out, oh honey, hold out
And do like I do

When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you baby
And all that I so want to give you
Is only a heartbeat away

When I need love
I hold out my hand and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day
Honey, when I need you ....

I Love you

I want to break free
I want to break free
I want to break free from your lies
You're so self satisfied I don't need you
I've got to break free
God knows, God knows I want to break free.

I've fallen in love
I've fallen in love for the first time
And this time I know it's for real
I've fallen in love, yeah
God knows, God knows I've fallen in love.

It's strange but it's true
I can't get over the way you love me like you do
But I have to be sure
When I walk out that door
Oh how I want to be free, baby
Oh how I want to be free,
Oh how I want to break free.

But life still goes on
I can't get used to, living without, living without,
Living without you by my side
I don't want to live alone, hey
God knows, got to make it on my own
So baby can't you see
I've got to break free.

I've got to break free
I want to break free, yeah
I want, I want, I want, I want to break free
