Something that started playing in my head last night (27.-28.4.2003) as I wrote about the stuff that (possibly) matters with me. In a Depeche Mode mood in general at the moment I guess, slightly depressed perhaps (no job, no money, need to go to Finland for a while again) so Ultra would be a good album to match it. Sister of Night, Insight, Freestate and Little 15 from earlier on, for example.
Altho having had access to graphics programs for 7 hours at a friend's I'm a bit more cheery after 30th April. Finally got banners of sorts for the site, plus some pics I've had for ages scanned. Plus it was nice to catch the world premier of X-Men 2 at Leicester Square last Thursday I guess. Momentary bouts of something nice.
Like a pawn
on the eternal board
who's never quite sure
what he's moved towards
I walk blindly on
and heaven is in front of me
your heaven beckons me enticingly
when I arrive
it's gone
the river flows
the wise man knows
I follow you
I'm yearning
I'm burning
I feel love's wheels turning
Like a moth on love's bright light
I will get burned
each and every night
I'm dying to(o)
the sun will shine
the bottom line
I follow you.

After all that i've heard
Why should i worry
When we ride the fine line
Between love and hate
If i had been wise
well how could i doubt you
now i'm all alone
my life in disarray
but try as i might
i can't live without you
so i cling to the hope
of a bright brighter day
oh i know we've been through this all before
how can i prove my love for you is real
no i can't do anymore
if i could only find words
and still he has dreams
and still i must learn to cope
absurd as it seems
i still have hope
if i had good sense
and heed all the warnings
i would let it be
and leave all well alone
but there's no recompense
for waking up mornings
feeling sure it's myself
who's the foolish one
yes i know we've been through this all before
how can i prove my love for you is real
no i can't do anymore
Twenty-nine pearls in your kiss
A singing smile
Coffee smell and lilac skin
Your flame in me
I’m only here for this moment
I know everybody here wants you
I know everybody here thinks he needs you
I’ll be waiting right here just to show you
How our love will blow it all away
Hmm, such a thing of wonder in this crowd
I’m a stranger in this town
You’re free with me
And our eyes locked in downcast love
I sit here proud
Even now you’re undressed in your dreams with me
Oh, I’m only here for this moment
I know everybody here wants you
I know everybody here thinks he needs you
I’ll be waiting right here just to show you
How our love will blow it all away
I know the tears we cried
Have dried on yesterday
The sea of fools has parted for us
There’s nothing in our way
My love
Don’t you see, don’t you see?
You’re just the torch to put the flame to all our
guilt and shame
And I’ll rise like an ember in your name
I know I, I know I
I know everybody here wants you
I know everybody here thinks he needs you
I’ll be waiting right here just to show you
Oh let me show you
That love can rise, rise just like embers
Love can taste like the wine of the ages, oh babe,
And I know they all looks so good from a distance
But I tell you I’m the one
I know everybody here, well, thinks he needs you
Think he needs you
And I’ll be waiting right here just to show you.
