@ALBUM: Labour Of Love Transcribed by Robert Bernier (bernier@eskimo.com). Notes: I was told this is a Maxi-Single, and that the full release "should" have "full" lyrics printed with it. But for now... Some of the words were very difficult to make out. Words or phrases in [square brackets] are guesses at what the lyrics "should" be. And -- is where I have no clue as to what is being sung. :) If: --- I made any errors --- you know words that I missed --- you can confirm any "unsure" words --- you have any comments Then: --- Mail me (bernier@eskimo.com) and we can discuss it. @SONG: Labour Of Love Oh, am I fooling you Do you fall for it all Or do you just see right through Are you as cool as you believe Or are you playing [hide] Are you waiting just to quietly [pluck my guide] Are you waiting for a moment to leave I don't know how I've been Or what you said to what I believe you meant I don't know anything at all I'm staying in the push and shove And I'm just just within a rescue of the labour of your love I can't do any but fall A-fall, a-fall-fall-fall Do you feel like I can never find you Do you feel like I'm the only survivor Why am I thinking of you and me and the labour of love One chance, one shot Thats all anybody ever got New [boy] still warm Naked in the rushhour Dancing in --- If you want to find me Call me I'll be far From the cars And guitars And everybody Do you feel like I can never find you Do you feel like I'm the only survivor Why am I thinking of you and me and the labour of love And I never knew before But I feel like a child in a cold, cold war So strong, so tough Sitting in suburbia waiting for the wind-up And I don't wanna dance I just wanna jump from a prison of circumstance Why am I thinking of you and me and the labour of love Do you feel like I can never find you Do you feel like I'm the only survivor Why am I thinking of you and me and the labour of love @SONG: Testimony Take-me-some-where sunny If you have the testimony Could I, [would I, die] But give you easy blindness like a moneylender And you may need bright lights for surgery Ah-oh, Ah-oh Tell me I have a knife And time enough for everything Yesterday covers your head with that anesthetic dread Beautiful, beautiful Are you dangerous, dangerous Think I'm gonna die of lust Think I'm gonna die of lust Bite the dust I will, I will But I can't count past won-derful to to-morrow Tell me if I die [and let me] know Beautiful Are you dangerous, dangerous Think I'm gonna die of lust, bite the dust Bite the I will, I will When ev-er-y-thing's gone I will be a champion Breathless And perilous And [fulliest] @SONG: Not Given Lightly Hello my friend it's morning time to wake now Your body and mind entwined will have to break now I need your flesh your warmth to stay beside me Oh how I wish you could be deep inside me Show me your eyes your [inner]most tender feelings And I'll give you mine [be] truthful and revealing And it's you that I love And it's true that I love And it's love not given lightly But I knew this love And it's you that I love And it's more than what it might be When we're alone I cannot always face you Maybe my mood won't let these arms embrace you But that doesn't mean my love somehow diminished Give me the time to show our love's unfinished And it's you that I love And it's true that I love And it's love not given lightly But I know this love And it's you that I love And it's more than what it might be And every word I say is true What can I say the words destroy all meaning There's only cliches to get across this feeling This is a love song for John and [Leisha]'s mother This isn't easy I might not write another And it's [you] that I love And it's true that I love And it's love not given lightly But I knew this love And it's you that I love And it's more than what it might be And it's you that I love And it's true that I love And it's love not given lightly But I knew this love And it's you that I love And it's more than what it might be @SONG: Paper, Bullets, Walls Show me anyone The patient is gone it hasn't been breathing since (it learned right from wrong) Any innocent [got his] contempt This is why children sing [Love meant] Are you dying yet Remember to forget Like I do, like I do [And] you've got what you spent One hundred percent of nothing's nothing Make my life unsafe for living Your diamonds are dirt I'd much rather hurt Than have all your [attic shirts] [Breathe] [da-da lah-da-dah] If you want forever Well fuck you baby Is it paper or bullets and walls When it could be possible Beautiful Wonderful Every little [wing] Looks for something But no one Knows [one] I got governments I got continents This is [important] Baby come on Get on ah-hah, ah-hah ah-hah, (ah-hah) (ah-hah), (ah-hah) @SONG: Risk We all love We are pushed and shoved By the butterflies Give me [widest eyes] [Man, then they] Say something stupid in my ear Everyone can hear We're not impressed with the formulas Or guys with guns and guitars hugging Hummingbirds and the jaguars @SONG: Bizarre Love Triangle Every time I think of you I get a shot right through Into a bolt of blue It's no problem of mine But it's a problem I find Living the life that I can't leave behind There's no sense in telling me The wisdom of a fool won't set you free But that's the way that it goes And it's what nobody knows And every day my confusion grows Every time I see you falling I get down on my knees and pray I'm waiting for the final moment You say the words that I can't say I feel fine and I feel good I feel like I never should Whenever I get this way I just don't know what to say Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday I'm not sure what this could mean I don't think you're what you seem I do admit to myself That if I hurt someone else Then I'll never see just what we're meant to be Every time I see you falling I get down on my knees and pray I'm waiting for the final moment You'll say the words that I can't say Every time I see you falling I'll get down on my knees and pray I'm waiting for the final moment You'll say the words that I can't say @SONG: Oh Brilliance Hesitation's dangerous You move while you taste dust Life is coming for us [and] love's had resistance Flawless you are in the distance Oh, Brilliance shall we dance You love like your under cameras Photography will damn us I think that you think that you're famous If you're alive you just have to be fearless Light me some serious [steps] To burn in this meaninglessness We'd [just] return But our lives just [repaid] us Is it all we can be just to be us And no one uncovers any Original sin-cerity We just dance with our history A [pity] what it should be Here comes the silence to kill me Yesterday I noticed I love you I'm holding my life like a weapon above you I have no more words, I've spent them If we wanna dance, we'll have to invent them Are we [stuffing the nothing with this] Sometimes we dream we're imagining it it All that is real is the [spin and the swing of the sea]
