Jesus wept?.....


Just kidding - my vote goes to Prince's "17 Days." Short, sweet and to the point.

Don't You Want Me is one of the best spoken word pop songs.

Bob George
also as an entire song.

My favorite P spoken verse is Listen, People call rude, I wish we all

PULP - Seductive Barry drool Almost the entire song is spoken by Jarvis Cocker (with background vocals by Neneh Cherry)

Here in the night love takes control.
Making me high
making me whole.
I don't know.
Oh no no no.
No I don't know.
No no no.
No I don't know.
When I close my eyes I can see you lowering yourself to my level.
I don't know where you got those clothes,
you can take them off if it makes you feel better.
Don't stop it now.
Now is so right.
Now as the day slips away
and we slide into night.
I don't know.
Oh no no no.
No I don't know know.
No no no.
No I don't know.
I open my eyes and you're there,
even better in the flesh it would seem.
I'm so ready and willing and able it's untrue,
to act out this love scene
and make my dreams come true.
And how many others have touched themselves
whilst looking at pictures of you?
How many others could handle it if all their dreams came true?
I don't expect you to answer straight away,
maybe you're just having an off day
but I need to believe in you.
Yes I do.
Yes I do.
Oh I want you here in my heart.
Here in my head.
Live all your dreams for tonight
here in your bed.
I don't know.
Oh no no no.
No I don't know.
No no no.
No I don't know.
So roll the soundtrack and dim the lights
cos I'm not going home tonight.
This love scene has begun.
There's nothing left for us to do but get it on.
Lets make this the greatest love scene from a play no-one's thought up yet.
I know you're feeling the same as me but what you gonna do about it?
Now here's an exclusive:
I've wanted you for years.
I only needed the balls to admit it.
When the unbelievable object meets the unstoppable force
there's nothing you can do about it.
No.
I will light your cigarette with a star that has fallen from the sky.
Breathe in, breathe out,
I love the way you move.
Don't let anyone tell you any different tonight.
You are beauty,
you are class,
you showed it all
but you still kept a little piece back just for me.
A little piece back just for me.
Just for me.
Oh I don't know how you do it
but I love the way you do it,
when you're doing it to me.
And if this is a dream then I'm going to sleep for the rest of my life.
For the rest of my life.
For the rest of my life.
For the rest of my life.


I don't think there's a song out there that can turn me on as much as this one does. drool redface

The first one that came to mind was 'Human' by The Human League.

I think it's something along the lines of:

These tears I cry,
Aren't tears of pain,
They're only to hide,
My hidden shame,

I forgive you,
And I ask the same of you,
Whilst you were away,
I was human too.

That's why I posted the lyrics. nod He starts out singing and then as it progresses, he's REALLY seducing the woman in the story. Some of it is whispered very softly, and it's hard to make out at times, but I always loved the whole effect of his voice like that over that slow, hypnotic bassline. There are deeply layered voices going on the whole time in the background, and it's just truly sexy, for lack of a better word.

And yes, I'm thinkin' about ol' Jarvis. horny When he says the lines,

"I know you're feeling the same as me but what you gonna do about it?
Now here's an exclusive:
I've wanted you for years.
I only needed the balls to admit it.
When the unbelievable object meets the unstoppable force

No....."


it's like nothing I've ever heard before. It sounds like he was recorded WHILE he was in the act. whistling
