The What Are You Listening To Thread

[Bastet]

Listening to more Bee Gees...Living Eyes (the album, not just the song).

Currently:

WILDFLOWER

Wildflower,
sacrifice everything in a wonderland that you know.
It's crazy that I'm clear out of my mind,
a wonderful place to be.

Wildflower,
sweet as the morning light,
if I blink an eye, will you go?
I'm starting to care much more than I dare,
a wonderful thing to see.
And what do we know?

First say you love me and then say you leave me
but we never say goodbye.
God, you're an angel
but even an angel must choose.
Someone will hurt you and when you stop running
there's only this love of mine.

Wildflower,
sacrifice everything in a wonderland that you know.
If older is wise,
one look in your eyes.
I'm younger than I should be
and only time
waiting for you to grow.

First say you love me and then say you'll leave me
but we never say goodbye.
God, you're an angel
but even an angel must choose.
Someone will hurt you and when you stop running
there's only this love of mine.

Wildflower,
sacrifice everything in a wonderland that you know.
If older is wise,
one look in your eyes.
I'm younger than I should be
and only time
waiting for you to grow.

NOTHING COULD BE GOOD

Baby, when there's only one embrace,
one is just enough for two.
When do I learn young fingers get burned?
Never, my love.
Aah.

And when everyone has been a friend,
windy day we never knew,
now nothing can stand the way it was planned,
no, baby,
nothing could be good as,
nothing could be good as loving you.

Even though you're far away,
your movie plays in my mind,
your world is what you see,
let it be me.

And I can make you warm at night
but I need to be sure you got love enough to know.
Aah, never, never.

And when every cloud has lost its glow,
raining on my avenue.
When do I hide that nothing inside?
When, baby,
nothing could be good as,
nothing could be good as loving you.

Even though you're far way, your movie plays in my mind,
your world is what you see,
let it be me.

And I can make you warm at night
but I need to be sure you got love enough to know.
Aah, oh, never, never.

And when everyone has gone away,
sing to the almighty if it's what you need to do,
oh, the world is true,
and, baby, nothing could be good as,
nothing could be good as loving you,
as loving you, love, love,
as loving you, love, love...

Changed cds now...Bee Gees, 'Still Waters'

I SURRENDER

From the highest tower,
I will call you home.
It's the same old story,
love will find its own (oh).

You come to me, conspiracy of the night.
The heart that you want just happens to be mine.
Thieves in the dark, you ought to be locked in chains
but you wind up on my side, and what will be will be.

That you wear a disguise, the epitome of deceit.
The face of a friend invisible on the street.
If you are battling to be mine, I'm victorious in defeat
and I surrender (I surrender), I surrender.

Anybody want me, anyone know my name.
Do it in a lifetime,
you be dust and the soul survives.
Evens up the score (ah).

From the highest tower,
I will call you home.
It's the same old story,
love will find its own.

And I surrender,
take me for all time.
Love that lasts forever,
and I surrender.

We are elite, prisoners of the night.
We fight to the finish and savour the delights.
It's your body that got me beat, and I'm crumbling at your feet,
I surrender (I surrender), I surrender.

(I surrender)
I will walk through fire to keep you safe and sound (oh no, oh no).
In the final hour, turn my life around (oh no),
and I surrender, take me for all time.

You are the air that I breathe (oh)

I will walk through fire, keep you safe and sound.
In the final hour, turn my life around (oh).
This is my life (life) story (story), I've been lost and found (oh no, oh no).
In the final hour (in the final hour), turn my life around (oh no).

And I surrender (surrender), ah ah ah....
take me for all time.
I surrender, ah
Love as warm as wine
I surrender ah ah....

 

[Bastet]

I COULD NOT LOVE YOU MORE

Now that we're alone.
No more hide and seek.
You are the highest dream to me.
And as you softly sleep
then I can tell you what it means.

Locked in my arms like lovers lie,
I will not let you slip away.
Is this the summer of them all.
Is this my night of nights
that you came to stay.

Here you are, owner of my heart,
just the way that love should be.
And there's something I must say to you,
if you promise to believe
that it's you I'm living for
and I could not love you more.

Seasons may come and seasons go
but these are the truest words I know.
Face to face, eye to eye.
This is the summer of of our lives.
One love that cannot die.

Here you are, owner of my soul,
never let you say goodbye.
And there is something I must say to you,
we leave the world outside
and you have come to me at last, we start.

Open up your heart,
let my deepest love inside.
I'm only doing what I have to do.
If you promise to belive
that I could not love you more.

Here you are (you are), owner of my heart,
just the way that love should be.
And there's something I must say to you,
we leave the world outside
and you have come to me at last (at last), we start.

Open up your heart,
let my deepest love inside (ah).
I'm only doing what I have to do.
If you promise to belive
that it's you I'm living for
that it's you I'm living for
and I could not love you more.

MY LOVER'S PRAYER

In the history of a life takes a heart,
when the power of love comes together,
there ain't nothing can tear us apart.
And the touch of your hand I can feel
that what we got is stronger than steel.
That's when you hear..
.
..my lover's prayer.
It's my own silent message to you.
Takes me there, my lover's prayer,
and my soul is divided in two.

With my love on the line
I send it all over the world,
out on the air.
'Cause I can't let go
and my heart has a mind of its own.
It's my lover's prayer.

It's the mystery of a place blessed by us,
and the moment of truth is forever,
in the face of incredible odds.
And the look in your eyes tells me why.
Let our words burn a sign in the sky.

My lover's prayer.
It's as easy as talking to you.
All my life, having you there.
In my own private vision come true.

You're heaven on Earth.
You're the fire and all that I'm worth.
And I can be strong.
You hold the key.
Don't say it's over (don't say it's over).
Don't say it's over for me (don't say it's over).

My lover's prayer (my lover's prayer).
It's as easy as talking to you (it's easy, it's easy).
All my life, having you there.
In my own private vision come true.

In my search for your love
I send it all over the world.
It's all I can bare.
And the nights get long
but my heart holds on.
It's no empty words.

My lover's prayer (my lover's prayer).
It's my own silent message to you (message to you, message to).
Takes me there, my lover's prayer (oh).
And my soul is divided in two.
'Cause I can't (can't) let go (oh can't).
And my heart has a mind of its own.
It's my lover's prayer

WITH MY EYES CLOSED

Say you never send me away.
Making me a memory and
telling me to find me a life
change, there's no changing,
what cannot be changed.
And you are witness to a silent conversation.

Nothing but the black of night.
No-one ever takes your place.
Gotta let the pantomime play.
Not to worry, my telepathy.
I bring you into me ,there's be no separation.

And I tell you
I will climb inside your world,
and at ythe dawn of history
I was born to find this girl (ah).

And I can see you with my eyes closed.
I can feel you when you're near me.
Just the knowing that you
hear me, could be,
you could measure my love.

I can touch you with my hands tied (words of love).
It don't take no extra feeling (you won't believe).
Let your imagination, just run (take a hand).
You can measure my love.

And they tell you
they can stop those tears you cry.
And we can ride that storm together,
and all the love that lasts forever,
and forever and forever.

Cling to the vine and the vine never breaks.
It's a message from a ship to shore.
For the soul and the sacrifice,
pain.
There's no fury like a woman scorned.
We could be victims of a lethal combination.
I
t's the hour.
It's the sword that hides the stone.
And one of us holds the power
there to forge our hearts together,
here forever and forever.

And I can feel you with my eyes closed (words of love).
I can feel you when you're near me (where you are).
Just the knowing that you hear me, could be, (I'll survive),
you could measure my love.

I can touch you with my hands tied (words of love).
It don't take no extra feeling (you won't believe).
Let your imagination, just run (I'll survive).
You can measure my love (my love)...

CLOSER THAN CLOSE

She'll read your mind, she's smart as a whip.
She'll suck you dry, but look at how much I drip.
At the point of ecstasy I write a symphony
of poetry in motion, and leaving me there to die.

I tell myself let no one take her place.
To confide in someone and look at how much I paid.
I want you next to me, call it telepathy.
We drifted into vision and look how much we see.
Aaah..

I just want to get closer than close to you.
I know that one way or the other
any test of my faith will do.

And lovers fall for lovers friends'.
We make each other cry,
living in each others lives
and trying to make the fantasy come true.

But I just want to get closer than close to you.
Baby, I just want to get closer than close to you.

Your soul is naked, it tells you what it wants.
I read your letter and look at how close I've come.
There's more for us to see in this philosophy.
We both end up in heaven and look at how close we'd be.
Aaah...
I
just want to get closer than close to you.
I know that one way or the other
any test of my faith will do.

I give my heart for you to break.
I give my final breath.
When nothing lasts forever see
what we can turn eternity into.

And I just want to get closer than close to you
at the moment you discover
what the best of my love can do.

And lovers fall for lovers friends'.
We make each other cry,
living in each others lives
and trying to make the fantasy come true.

I just want to get closer than close to you.
Baby, I just want to get closer than close to you....



On that note, I'm off to bed.

Yeah, gutted bout the drummer (I know you know who I mean, why bother explaining it to Yanks ). First album I ever owned (of my own) was Woodface, on tape even. 10th Birthday present from my favourite Uncle, who remains to this day my favourite Uncle. Funnily enough he loves Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac and Led Zep not to mention a host of others . I never realised how good that album of Crowded House's was, till I was still listening to it at (almost) 25.

Here's to another 15 years of Split Enz and Crowded House!!!

PostScript: Ben Harper and Eddie Vedder have been known to visit the Finn brothers (and sometimes their son Liam) and play pub gigs around the central North island. MMMnnnn bootleggy goodness.
