Beloved, ooh,
All and everywhere,
Only the fools blew it.

Breathing…”

Just make you even greedier.”

That I'll understand
It all.

Me or him.
Just one thing in it:
Me or him.

You can dance the dream with your body on
And this curve, is your smile
And this cross, is your heart

Oh it's gonna be the way you always dreamt about it
But it's gonna be really happening to ya…”

Feel your warm hand walking around.
I won't pull away.

So keep on a-tuning in.
Synchronise rhythm now.”

By questioning all that I do,
Examining every move,
Trying to get back to the rudiments.”

All the things we should've done,
That we never did.
All the things I should've given,
But I didn't.”

And how she was before the years flew by,
And how she was when she was beautiful.”

“For me to get into that creative process I have to have a sort of quiet place that I work from. And if I was living the life of … somebody in the industry, as a pop star or whatever, it's too distracting. It's too to do with other people's perceptions of who you are, and what's important to me is to be a human being who has a soul, and who hopefully has a sense of who they are, not who everybody else thinks you are.
And I think, you know, that's something that's very difficult for people who become extremely famous. I mean, I find it completely ridiculous this obsession with celebrities. … Why are celebrities so important to people? It's absolute crap. I mean, the important people are surgeons and doctors and people actually put people back together and make a difference to people's lives. Not somebody who's in an ad on telly. I mean, okay, so that's valid for what it is, too. But why so much attention on something that's so shallow?”

All the love we should have given.
All the love, all the love,
All the love you could have given.
All the love…”

Does it really matter,
As long as you're not afraid to feel?”

A rubberband bend the beat
If I could learn to give like a rubberband
I'd be back on my feet…”

Just for the sake of love.”

“I can't hear a word you're saying
Tell me what are you singing
In the sun”

“Put your hand over the side of the boat
What do you feel?”

“You don't need words — just one kiss, then another.”

“I should have been home
Hours ago,
But I'm not here.
But I'm not here…”

“There's a hole in the sky with a big eyeball
Calling me: "Come up and be a kite,
On a diamond flight!"”

“Oh, Jesus Christ, he wasn't to know,
Like a chicken with a fox,
He couldn't win the war with ego.
Give the kid the pick of pips,
And give him all your stripes and ribbons.
Now he's sitting in his hole,
He might as well have buttons and bows.”
