Filming and screening
I picture the scene
Filming and dreaming
Dreaming of me

So we left
Understanding
Cleancut so we’re sounding fast
Talked of sad
I talked of war
I laughed and climbed the rising cast

Quickly I remembered
Fused and saw a face before
Timing reason
Understanding
Like association hall

Complicating, circulating
New life, new life
Operating, generating
New life, new life

Transitions to another place
So the time will pass more slowly
Features fuse and your shadow’s red
Like a film I’ve seen now show me

Your face is hidden and were out of sight
And the road just leads to nowhere
The stranger in the door is the same as before
So the question answers nowhere

I stand still stepping on the shady streets
And I watched that man to a stranger
You think you only know me when you turn on the light
Now the room is lit, red danger

We slip and slide as we fall in love
And I just can’t seem to get enough of

We walk together
We’re walking down the street
And I just can’t get enough
And I just can’t get enough
Every time I think of you
I know we have to meet
And I just can’t get enough
I just can’t get enough

It’s getting hotter
It’s a burning love
And I just can’t seem to get enough of

And when it rains
You’re shining down for me
And I just can’t get enough
And I just can’t get enough
Just like a rainbow
You know you set me free
And I just can’t get enough
And I just can’t get enough

You’re like an angel
And you give me your love
And I just can’t seem to get enough of

All I want to do is see you
Don’t you know that it’s true
I remember the days when we walked through the woods
We’d sit on a bench for a while
I treasure the way we used to laugh and play
And look in each others eyes
You can keep me at a distance if you don’t trust my resistance
But I swear I won’t touch you

Well I know five years is a long time and that times change
But I think that you’ll find people are basically the same

If the water’s still flowing we can go for a swim
And do the things we used to do
And if I’m reluctant you can pull me in
We can relive our youth

But we’ll just stay friendly like sister and brother
Though I think I still love you

Noted down all my observations
Spent an evening watching television
Still I couldn’t say with precision
Know it’s a feeling and it comes from above
But what’s the meaning
The meaning of love
(tell me)

From the notes that I’ve made so far
Love seems something like wanting a scar
Well I could be wrong
I’m just not sure you see
I’ve never been in love before

Next I asked several friends of mine
If they could spare a few minutes of their time
Their looks suggested that I’ve lost my mind
Tell me the answer
My Lord high above
Tell me the meaning
The meaning of love

From the notes that I’ve made so far
Love seems something like wanting a scar
Well I could be wrong
I’m just not sure you see
I’ve never been in love before

The meaning of love
(tell me)
Tell me the meaning of love
(tell me)

There was a time
When all on my mind was love
Now I find
That most of the time
Love’s not enough
In itself

Consequently
I’ve a tendency
To be unhappy, you see
The thoughts in my head
All the words that were said
All the blues and the reds
Get to me

All of the absurdities
That lay before us
All of the doubts
And the uncertainties
That lay in store for us

We call it master and servant
We call it master and servant

It’s a lot like life
This play between the sheets
With you on top and me underneath
Forget all about equality

Let’s play master and servant
Let’s play master and servant

It’s a lot like life
And that’s what’s appealing
If you despise that throwaway feeling
From disposable fun
Then this is the one

Domination’s the name of the game
In bed or in life
They’re both just the same
Except in one you’re fulfilled
At the end of the day

Let’s play master and servant
Let’s play master and servant

Let’s play master and servant
Come on master and servant

Fighting back the tears
Mother reads the note again
16 candles burn in her mind
She takes the blame
It’s always the same
She goes down on her knees
And prays

I don’t want to start
Any blasphemous rumours
But I think that God’s
Got a sick sense of humour
And when I die
I expect to find Him laughing

Girl of 18
Fell in love with everything
Found new life
In Jesus Christ
Hit by a car
Ended up
On a life support machine

Summer’s day
As she passed away
Birds were singing
In the summer sky
Then came the rain
And once again
A tear fell
From her mother’s eye

I want somebody who cares
For me passionately
With every thought and with every breath
Someone who’ll help me see things
In a different light
All the things I detest
I will almost like
I don’t want to be tied
To anyone’s strings
I’m carefully trying to steer clear
Of those things
But when I’m asleep
I want somebody
Who will put their arms around me
And kiss me tenderly
Though things like this
Make me sick
In a case like this
I’ll get away with it

Here is a plea
From my heart to you
Nobody knows me
As well as you do
You know how hard it is for me
To shake the disease
That takes hold of my tongue
In situations like these

Understand me

Some people have to be
Permanently together
Lovers devoted
To each other forever
Now I’ve got things to do
And I’ve said before
That I know you have too
When I’m not there
In spirit I’ll be there
