No more I love yous – Annie Lennox

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

I USED TO BE A LUNATIC FROM THE GRACIOUS DAYS
I USED TO FEEL WOEBEGONE AND SO RESTLESS NIGHTS
MY ACHING HEART WOULD BLEED FOR YOU TO SEE

1-OH, BUT NOW

I DONT FIND MYSELF BOUNCING HOME
WHISTLING BUTTONHOLE TUNES TO MAKE ME CRY

NO MORE I LOVE YOUS
THE LANGUAGE IS LEAVING ME
NO MORE I LOVE YOUS
CHANGES ARE SHIFTING
OUTSIDE THE WORDS

NO ONE EVER SPEAKS ABOUT THE MONSTERS

I USED TO HAVE DEMONS IN MY ROOM AT NIGHT
DESIRE, DESPAIR, DESIRE
SO MANY MONSTERS

2-NO MORE I LOVE YOUS
THE LANGUAGE IS LEAVING ME
NO MORE I LOVE YOUS
THE LANGUAGE IS LEAVING ME IN SILENCE
NO MORE I LOVE YOUS
CHANGES ARE SHIFTING OUTSIDE THE WORDS

AND PEOPLE ARE BEING REAL CRAZY
AND YOU KNOW WHAT MOMMY?
EVERYBODY WAS BEING REAL CRAZY
AND THE MONSTERS ARE CRAZY.
THERE ARE MONSTERS OUTSIDE

OUTSIDE THE WORDS

Love song for a Vampire – Annie Lennox

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

Come into these arms again
And lay your body down
The rhythm of this trembling heart
Is beating like a drum.
It beats for you, it bleeds for you
It knows not how it sounds.
For it is the drum of drums
It is the song of songs.

Once I had the rarest rose that
ever deigned to bloom.
Cruel winter chilled the balm,
And stole my flower too soon
O loneliness, O hopelessness
To search the ends of time,
For there is in all the world
No greater love than mine.

Love….Still falls the rain.
Still falls the night.
Be mine forever…

Let me be the only one
To keep you from the cold.
Now the floor of heaven is laid,
Its stars of brightest glow.
They shine for you.
They shine for you.
They burn for all to see.
Come into these arms again
And set this spirit free.
