Terence Trent D'Arby [보컬]

It's been said be a poet better
Sealed with a smile and perfumed letter
It's been said by the painter's colours more brightly
It's been said but here it goes again, I love you

It's been said that your eyes are amazing
And that they tell a deeper secret
Than your body wishes to hold
And that your quiet tears will be heard as gentle whispers
It's been said but here it goes again, I love you

It's been said by far too many drifters
That perhaps your eyes had seen fall short the glory of
It's been said from the soil of a prophet's graveyard
It's been said by the light of your mirror's vanity
It's been said but here it goes again, I love you

(Please believe me that I love you)

Take this you beautiful distraction
I love you

If you all get to Heaven
Say a prayer for my mother
Say a prayer for my father
Say a prayer for my brother
But most of all please say a prayer for me

Words of a feather
All flock together
Going round and round
A soul is astral travelling
Watching human motion
Wasting thy seed upon the ground
Discreet intermissions
Coroners petitions
Their work goes into the sand
Voices from the middle
Are gaining very little
It's getting all out of hand

If you all get to Heaven
Say a prayer -volace menteh-
Say a prayer for food and plenty
Say a prayer -sehr sensible-
But most of all please say a prayer for me
If you all get to Heaven
Say a prayer for my camel
As I ride through the desert
Say a prayer for the rumours
The rumours of war

The last moody summer
Was autumn in covers
Bespeaks of dogs in the dark
A perfect reunion
Of bloody communion
Where do we find
Noah's ark?
A thousand words or more
Seep through the floor
And then take root in the soil
Growing trees of doubt
Helpless people shout
Until their blood starts to boil

If you all get to Heaven
Say a prayer for Asmodeus
Say a prayer for Belial
Say a prayer for his denial
But most of all you gotta say a prayer for me
If you all get to Heaven
Say a prayer for St. Religion
Say a prayer for blood baptism
Say a prayer for it's division
But most of all please say a prayer for me

Old men's cigars puff up the wars
To protect their fuck-ups again
Young men must die!
To keep the old ones alive
And to prove they're studs once again

It you all get to Heaven
Say a prayer for the peo

Spoken:
Sweetheart listen,
I know the last few pages
Haven't been good for the both of us
And I've caused you a lot of grief
But put those bags down, o.k.?
Before you make a decision like that,
Please just listen to me
'Cos I don't want you to leave.
I definately don't want you to leave
Just hear me out.

Honey, don't leave me now
With my head on my shoulders wrong
Have I done something wrong for you to leave?
I know I've been careless, girl
And I must apologize
I'll try better next time, baby
If you let me stay

If you let me stay
I'll say what I should've said
If you let me stay
I should have said that I love you
It you let me stay
And I should have said it from my heart
If you let me stay

How can I compensate
For my indiscretions, dear
Tell me it's not too late
That I'd love to hear
If you walk out on me
You will see a grown man cry
I didn't miss my water
Till my well ran dry

But if you let me stay
If you let me stay
I'll say what I should've said
If you let me stay
I should have said that I love you
It you let me stay
And I should have said it from my heart
If you let me stay

Your pretensions aim for gullible fools
And now who needs you anyway?
I'll get mine elsewhere
I taught the school
You will regret it someday

If you let me stay
I'll say what I should've said
If you let me stay
I should have said that I love you
It you let me stay
And I should have said it from my heart
If you let me stay

Kissing like a bandit
Stealing time
Underneath a sycamore tree
Cupid by the hour sends
Valentines
To my sweet lover and me
Slowly
But surely
Your appetite is more than I knew
Sweetly
Softly
I'm falling in love with you

Wish me love a wishing well
To kiss and tell
A wishing well of butterfly tears
Wish me love a wishing well
To kiss and tell
A wishing well of crocodile cheers

Hugging like a monkey see
Monkey do
Right beside a riverboat gambler
Erotic images float through my head
So I wanna be
Your midnight rambler
Quickly
Quickly
The blood races through my veins
Quickly
Loudly
I wanna hear those sugar bells ring

Wish me love a wishing well
To kiss and tell
A wishing well of butterfly tears
Wish me love a wishing well
To kiss and tell
A wishing well of crocodile cheers

This isn't living now
A thing my father said to me
And get a haircut, boy
If you want a chance in respectable society
Why did you stop writing?
I knew you had some trouble, son
But you should know by now
That my number doesn't change
Because my dirty deed is done

All I need from you
And that's all
Regardless of whatever you do
And that is that you understand
That I'll never turn my back on you

How are your wife and child?
I'm sure your little girl has grown
And give them a kiss and a smile
That's what my daddy said
In a letter very long
What kind of man would I be?
If I left you in despair (and then he wrote)
And I miss your mother, son
Cause if she were still alive
She'd tell you too
You should cut your hair

All I need from you
And that's all
Regardless of whatever you do
And that is that you realise
That I'll never turn my back on you

Whatever you do just try to get through to me
Remember the time we got drunk on wine by the sea
And I laughed when you tried to stagger home by yourself
You were stubborn then and you are still stubborn now

All I need from you
And that's all
Regardless of whatever you do
And that is that you understand
That I'll never turn my back on you

get up outta' your rockin chair grandma!
or rather would you care to dance grandmother?
hey you! give up the ghost
that's haunting you now
shout it out
don't let it stay inside
and eat you alive
make up your mind
don't you want to stay
this side of the line
i can assure you
when you're my age
you'll learn
from all you've left behind
(you've got to)

dance little sister
don't give up today
hang on till tomorrow
i don't wanna hear you're late
dance little sister
don't give up today
hang on till tomorrow
don't give up your stay

say now share the weight
and lay your cross down
and let the long reaching arm
of hope bring you around
it ain't easy but giving up
is the easy thing to do
time is on your side
would you just watch the clock
and let it tick for you

dance little sister
don't give up today
hang on till tomorrow
i don't wanna hear you're late
dance little sister
don't give up today
hang on till tomorrow
don't give up your stay

Teardrops rusting on a steel bar
Harmonica blues
Heartblood thick enough for pine tar
I've got a hole in my delta shoes
Grown men wither and they dry away
Their lives compromised
I've gotta hold on
Struggle through another day
To see the fire in my baby's eyes
Society's debt have been more than paid

In seven more days
I'll be home to you
And the walls will tumble down
That's separating us two
The Jericho mile and a river so wide
In seven more days
There will be no more divide

Bad dreams, cornerstone realities
Bears witness to shame
Hell's gate - a landscaped brutality
All material gain
But she's home praying on her hands & knees
That safe shall I part
But I am guilty of her memory
But there's no crime in my heart
Society's debts have been more than paid

In seven more days
I'll be home to you
And the walls will tumble down
That's separating us two
The Jericho mile and a river so wide
In seven more days
There will be no more divide

Lawful society
Says this is what you get
Tearful sobriety of
Matters that you soon regret
It all adds up to time
Debts have been more than paid

In seven more days
I'll be home to you
And the walls will tumble down
That's separating us two
The Jericho mile and a river so wide
In seven more days
There will be no more divide

Let's go forward with our love
I don't ask for your money
I don't ask for your honey
All I want is love
Let's go forward with our love
I don't ask for your wallet
Let's finish what we started
All I need is love

And in your private moments
When all the world is sleep
I watch you as you toss and turn
And pray my soul you'll keep
I sense you are afraid
That I'm not holding fast
But you are just nervous
And I'm certain that this too will pass

Let's go forward with our love
I don't ask for your money
I don't ask for your honey
All I want is love

Our dedication wanders
You're hurt from what you hear
But then the rain falls down
And wipes away your tears
The stars are everlasting
But even they shift from time to time
If we just slow down
Catch our breath
We'll be fine

Let's go forward with our love
I don't ask for your wallet
Let's finish what we started
All I need is love

Silver turns to black
And gold turns into green
Giving my love back
Would tear away our seed
Like real silver and gold
We can keep our vows
Your hand I will hold
Until the killing ground
Let's go forward with our love

Take off your topcoats
Put on your raincoats
And now give up your birthright
And don't you cry
'Cause in 23 verses now
A storm is a-comin'
And you'll be too surprised
To wonder why

And it will
Rain rain
Go away, go away
Rain rain
Come back again another day

Step out your cool suit
Snap on you wet boots
And now eat all you mushrooms
Until you see
That in 22 verses now
A storm is a-brewin'
And you'll be too annoyed
For victory

'Cause it will
Rain rain
Go away, go away
Rain rain
Come back again another day

China glass &
A chocolate bar
I'm leaving behind
So my children's children
Children's children
Will see what's left of me

Cue up the James Brown
And jack up the funky sound now
Say it won't be the last time
You hear a scream
'Cause in 21 verses now
A storm is a-ragin'
And you will satisfy your destiny

And it will
Rain rain
Go away, go away
Rain rain
Come back again another day

fortunately you've got someone who relies on you
we started out as friends
but the thought of you just caves me in
the symptoms are so deep
it's so much too late to turn away
we started out as friends
sign your name across my heart
i want you to be my baby
sign your name across my heart
i want you to be my lady
time i'm sure will bring
disappointments in so many things
it seems to be the way
when your gambling cards on love you olay
i'd rather be in hell with you baby
then in cool heaven, it seems to be the way
sign your name across my heart
i want you to be my baby
sign your name across my heart
i want you to be my lady
birds never look into the sun
before the day is gone
but ohthe light shines bright
in a peacefull day,stranger blue leave us alone
we don't want to deal with you
we'll shed our stains showering
in the room that makes the rain
all alone with you,makes the butterflies in me arise
slowly we make love,and the earth rotates on our dictates
slowly we make love...............
sign your name across my heart..

Out by a shanty where the dust hangs high
Far from a river where things grow green
The flowers weep and they lean away
From the blood stained soil beneath my feet

The thorns outnumber the petals on the rose
And the darkness amplifies the sound of printers' ink
On propaganda page
That will rule your life and fuel my rage

I tried to bend my knees
But my knees were already bent
I haven't stood like a man for such a long time now
I called to my god but he was sleeping on that day
I guess I'll just have to depend on me

Shall I tell my children if they ask of me
Did I surrender forth my right to be?
Y'see my daddy died to leave this haunting ground
And this same ground still haunts me

The cool September blows the seeds away
The harvest blown again this year
But I'll return a stronger man
I'll return to me my homeland
No grave shall hold my body down
This land is still my home

I said:
But I'll return a stronger man
I'll return to me my homeland
No grave shall hold my body down
This land is still my home
This land is still my home

Meanwhile, on the other side of the world

When I had you
I treated you bad
And wrong my dear
And girl since,
Since you been away
Dontcha know
I sit around
with my head hangin' down
And I wonder
Who's lovin you

I, I, I, I should have never ever
Ever made you cry
And girl since
Since you been gone
Dontcha know
I sit around
with my head hangin' down
And I wonder
Who's lovin you

Life without love
Is oh so lonely
I dont think
I dont think
I'm gonna make it
All my life
All my life, yeah
belongs to you only
Come on and take it girl
Come on and take it!

Because,
All I can do
All I can do
Since you been gone is cry
And you, oooh

Dontcha know I
Sit around
With my head hangin down
And I wonder
Who's lovin' you
(Who's lovin you)
Who's lovin you.....

The knife's edge pierces Autumn
And stabs the wind we fear
But we must find ourselves
Before we disappear
By knowing when to move on
We keep the peace with our pride
We seldom live our moments
Before the leaves have dried

But it's a peaceful feeling when
We surrender
And there is healing power in
Letting go

Alone, confused, and naked
Is when we are most sacred
Fear is the enemy
That strikes out at our sanity
By keeping faith in our promise
We drink from Eros fountains
We confirm that we are here
Moving up on higher mountains...

And it's a peaceful feeling when...
We surrender
And there is healing power in...
Letting go

And it's a peaceful feeling when...
We surrender
There is healing power in...
Letting go

Letting go
Hush, hush I hear music
Falling down like rain
Hush, I feel mercy
And forgiveness

I see Golden Light...
Shining ever-bright
Into the light I'll go...

And it's a peaceful feeling when
We surrender
And there is healing power in
Letting go

And it's a peaceful feeling when
We surrender
There is healing power in...
In letting go

Letting go...

Beautiful soul don't keep it in
Can you transform the pain you feel?
The birds of prey have swallowed
The breadcrumbs you left behind
To find your way back from the soul mines

But sooner or later
Sooner or later you'll feel the spirit move you
And it'll come down to this, vibrator
It'll come down to this, vibrator
It'll come down to

Beautiful child of God and man
There's a messiah inside of you
At times you feel like your life don't mean a damn thing
But beware of the reflections that sorrows bring

But sooner or later
Sooner or later you'll feel a groove
It'll come down to this, vibrator
It'll come down to this, vibrator
It'll come down to ...... VIBRATE!

Come and go with me

Laughing children seldom weep
Laughing angels never sleep
When your candle is burning low
Strike a match and curse the darkness
Feel it shaking like a bowl of soup
Let it go loop de loop
Starts the shaking
Like you can't stop it

But sooner or later
When you least expect it
You will feel connected
Way down deep in your soul
It'll come down to lift you
It'll come down to

Come and go with me children

Would you be my teacher?
Would you be my electric preacher?
Just know that I need you

I left the east side for a west coast beauty
A girl who burned my thoughts like kisses
She was down by street decree
She swore she'd pull my best years out of me
Fat painted lips on a live wire beauty
A tangerine girl with tambourine eyes
Her face was my favourite magazine
Her body was my favourite book to read

They say that all poets must have and unrequited love
As all lovers must have thought provoking fears

But holding on to you means letting go on pain
Means letting go of tears
Means letting go of rain
Means letting go of what's not real
Holding on to you

I left the rough side for a seaside baby
A chamomile smile that pouts on cue
For every moment I breathe her sigh
Her bosom contains my sweet alibi
In an emotional mist she breathes in fog
And breathes it out as garden flowers
Why me of all the tough talking boys?
I guess she heard my heartbeat through the noise

They say that all poets must have an unrequited love
As all lovers must have thought provoking fears

But holding on to you means letting go of pain
Means letting go of tears
Means letting go of the rain
Holding on to you
Means letting sorrows heal
Means letting go of what's not real
Holding on to you

They say that all poets must have an unrequited love
As all lovers I'm sure must have thought provoking fears

But holding on to you means letting sorrows heal
Means letting go of what's not real
Holding on to you

I left the east coast for a west coast beauty
A woman who burned my thoughts like kisses
She was down by street decree
She swore she'd pull my best years out of me

Fat wet lips on a sea salt canvas
Goodbye Picasso hello Dolly/Dali
The soil is fertile where her footsteps trod
She's my new religion she's all I got

They say that all poets must have an unrequited love
As all lovers I'm sure must have thought provoking fears

But holding on to you means letting go of pain
Means letting go of tears
Means letting go of rain
Means letting sorrows heal
It means letting go

The answer is yes
My sweet babe how many times do I have to tell you?
How many ways do I have to find
To tell you that you're mine all mine
Does a moth fly to a flame?
Does a man cling to his name?
Turn your head around my sweet babe
Look at me and

Read my lips I dig your scene
Read my lips I dig your scene
I'm a match and you're kerosene
Read my lips I dig your scene

My precious dear push your coins aside
Draw the veil above your fears
And lay back in the coming tide
Does a player play the game?
Would I seek to cause you pain?
Baby baby baby I'm not a player
I'm your dragon slayer

Read my lips I dig your scene
Read my lips I dig your scene
I'm your dragon slayer


Read my lips I dig your scene
I'm a match and you're kerosene
Read my lips I dig your scene

Baby baby girl
The inflection in your sigh
Suggests that in the fertile field
Of gentle graces
You've heard love's lullaby
Does the light hold the reigns of day?
Will you believe me when I say
You're the Sugar, Honey, Ice and Tea?
Baby baby baby now look at me and read my lips
I dig your scene

Read my lips I dig your scene
Read my lips I dig your scene
I'm a match and you're kerosene
Read my lips I dig your scene

Seems like the last guy you were with
Was only interested in trying to bring you down
Tear you down and keep you down
But sweetness all I want to do is adore you
And to help you restore you to your rightful glory
The poet of your indecision speaks

Undeniably I love you
Undeniably I love you

Baptized by the fire in your eyes I was mesmerized
A perfect night in Paradise
I spent with you and paid the price
I know that angels must to their clouds return
But I'm left to burn
And blow a kiss to what might have been
And blow a kiss to what might have been

Undeniably I love you
Undeniably I love you yes I do

Inside of you I promised you a sweet refrain
That only the sweetest grapes would pass your lips
And then remain in cool sustain
To let my words caress your ear and
Say the things you long to hear
But instead
I blow a kiss to what might have been
I blow a kiss to what might have been

Undeniably I love you girl yes yes you know I do
Undeniably
