SoTD: Song of The Day

Long time, no see
Short time for you and me
We’re on the road
Like you knew we would

First night, so long
A state of mind
What can go wrong
We’re here, the time is right
To rock n roll
Right through the night

Make it work out
Make it work
Make it work out
Make it work out
For each other tonight

State fright, candle light
You can let go
Tonight’s the night
Came back for you
Glad to see
That you came too

There’s a place, a Gemini dream
There’s no escaping from the love we have seen
So come with me, turn night to day
You gonna wake up
You know you gonna wake up in a Gemini dream

Turned ’round to see
Where we’ve been
And what we believe
In life, love
Take a chance
See it through
You’ll be glad
That you came too

There’s a place, a Gemini dream
There’s no escaping from the love we have seen
So come with me, turn night to day
You gonna wake up
You know you gonna wake up in a Gemini dream

Long time no see
The lights go up
For you and me
Were here
The time is right
To rock n roll
Right through the night

Living it
Believing it
Wanting it
Make it work out
Make it work
Make it work out
Make it work out
For each other tonight

Long time, no see
Short time for you and me
So fine so far so good
We’re on the road
Like you knew we would

Woke up with this song playing in my head – it’s funny what sticks around after years and years have gone by.

–

You are an obsession, I cannot sleep
I am a possession unopened at your feet
There is no balance, no equality
Be still I will not accept defeat

I will have you, yes I will have you
I will find a way and I will have you
Like a butterfly, a wild butterfly
I will collect you and capture you

You are an obsession, you’re my obsession
Who do you want me to be to make you sleep with me
You are an obsession, you’re my obsession
Who do you want me to be to make you sleep with me

I feed you, I drink you by day and by night
I need you, I need you by sun or candlelight
You protest, you want to leave
You say there’s no alternative

Your face appears again, I see the beauty there
But I see danger, stranger beware
A circumstance in your naked dreams
Your affection is not what it seems

You are an obsession, you’re my obsession
Who do you want me to be to make you sleep with me
You are an obsession, you’re my obsession
Who do you want me to be to make you sleep with me

My fantasy has turned to madness
All my goodness has turned to badness
My need to possess you has consumed my soul
My life is trembling, I have no control

I will have you, yes I will have you
I will find a way and I will have you
Like a butterfly, a wild butterfly
I will collect you and capture you

You are an obsession, you’re my obsession
Who do you want me to be to make you sleep with me
You are an obsession, you’re my obsession
Who do you want me to be to make you sleep with me

Caroline laughs and
It’s raining all day
She loves to be one of the girls
She lives in the place
In the side of our lives
Where nothing is
Ever put straight
She turns herself round
And she smiles and she says
‘This is it’

‘That’s the end of the joke’
And loses herself
In her dreaming and sleep
And her lovers walk
Through in their coats

Pretty in pink
Isn’t she?
Pretty in pink
Isn’t she?

All of her lovers
All talk of her notes
And the flowers
That they never sent
And wasn’t she easy
And isn’t she
Pretty in pink
The one who insists
He was first in the line
Is the last to
Remember her name
He’s walking around
In this dress
That she wore
She is gone
But the joke’s the same

Pretty in pink
Isn’t she?
Pretty in pink
Isn’t she?

Caroline talks to you
Softly sometimes
She says
‘I love you’ and
‘Too much’
She doesn’t have anything
You want to steal
Well
Nothing you can touch
She waves
She buttons your shirt
The traffic
Is waiting outside
She hands you this coat
She gives you her clothes
These cars collide

Pretty in pink
Isn’t she?
Pretty in pink
Isn’t she?

Now if you’re feelin’ kinda low ’bout the dues you’ve been paying
Future’s coming much too slow
And you wanna run but somehow you just keep on stayin’
Can’t decide on which way to go
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I understand about indecision
But I don’t care if I get behind
People livin’ in competition
All I want is to have my peace of mind.

Now you’re climbin’ to the top of the company ladder
Hope it doesn’t take too long
Cantcha you see there’ll come a day when it won’t matter
Come a day when you’ll be gone

I understand about indecision
But I don’t care if I get behind
People livin’ in competition
All I want is to have my peace of mind.

Take a look ahead, take a look ahead, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah…

Now everybody’s got advice they just keep on givin’
Doesn’t mean too much to me
Lots of people out to make-believe they’re livin’
Can’t decide who they should be.

I understand about indecision
But I don’t care if I get behind
People livin’ in competition
All I want is to have my peace of mind.

Take a look ahead, take a look ahead. look ahead…!

When I’m a walking, I strut my stuff, then I’m so strung out
I’m high as a kite, I just might, stop to check you out

Let me go on, like a blister in the sun
Let me go on, big hands I know you’re the one

Body and beats, I stain my sheets, I don’t even know why
My girl friend, she’s at the end, she is starting to cry

Let me go on, like a blister in the sun
Let me go on, big hands I know you’re the one

When I’m a walking, I strut my stuff, then I’m so strung out
I’m high as a kite, I just might, stop to check you out
When I’m a walking, I strut my stuff, then I’m so strung out
I’m high as a kite, I just might, stop to check you out
Body and beats, I stain my sheets, I don’t even know why
My girl friend, she’s at the end, she is starting to cry
When I’m a walking, I strut my stuff, then I’m so strung out
I’m high as a kite, I just might, stop to check you out

Let me go on, like a blister in the sun
Let me go on, big hands I know you’re the one

Everybody wants a little piece of my time
But still I put you at the end of the line
How it breaks my heart to cause you this pain
To see the tears you cry fallin’ like rain

Give me the chance to prove
And Ill make it up to you

I still believe in you
With a love that will always be
Standing so strong and true
Baby I still believe in you and me

Somewhere along the way, I guess I just lost track
Only thinkin’ of myself never lookin’ back
For all the times I’ve hurt you, I apologize
I’m sorry it took so long to finally realize

Give me the chance to prove
That nothings worth losing you

I still believe in you
With a love that will always be
Standing so strong and true
Baby I still believe in you and me
