“All I know is what the words know, and dead things, and that makes a handsome little sum, with a beginning and a middle and an end, as in the well-built phrase and the long sonata of the dead.”
—Samuel Beckett

Kiss of Love
Anything Box
Kiss of Love by Anything Box
I felt the sun on me
Made me see something I can’t explain.
Something in the wind
Calling my name,
How is it possible?
I don’t know…
I don’t know…
When I held your hand
The same emotions enveloped me.
Bizarre as it may seem,
I thought I heard somebody say…
Feel the kiss of love,
Know that it’s real
these emotions we feel.
Feel the kiss of love,
Know that it’s true
when it happens to you.
When I think of you
The world takes new meaning
And so does my life.
Seems like paradise
Hopelessly, you and me at peace
I love you, I love everything…
I love you, I love everything…
Feel the kiss of love,
Know that it’s real
these emotions we feel.
Feel the kiss of love,
Know that it’s true
when it happens to you…
“Hope
Smiles from the threshold of the year to come,
Whispering ‘it will be happier’…” —Alfred Tennyson
Smiles from the threshold of the year to come,
Whispering ‘it will be happier’…” —Alfred Tennyson
Never More Than Now (Remix)
ABC
Never More Than Now (Remix) by ABC
I had dreams and crazy schemes
Never felt this way before
I had days when I god raged
Never felt like this before
Endless nights that end in flights
Now I feel love
Never. Never. Never more than now
Never more than now
Paralysed by vicious lies
Never felt this way before
Seen hope die and grown men cry
Never felt like this before
Shed lonely tears and heartfelt fears
Now I feel love
Never. Never. Never more than now
A thing of beauty
Lasts forever
Stretches through all time
Every endeavour
No matter how hard
They might try
To build you up
And to bleed you dry
Never lose love. Never
Ever, ever, ever
Never. Never. Never more than now
“…man was born to live either in the convulsions of misery, or in the lethargy of boredom.”
—Voltaire, Candide
Just Got Lucky
Jo Boxers
Just Got Lucky by Jo Boxers
Your technique it leaves me weak
My heart knows it’s the beat I seek
And I found it
just got lucky - yes
I found it
just got lucky.
I never worry that your love is fake
I’m free and easy and I’m feeling jake
‘cause
I found it
just got lucky
Oh boy
I found it
just got lucky
‘cause I never felt this way before
Like a dog always beggin’ for more.
I’ve been fooled by love so many times.
I gave up on all the silly rhymes.
Kept my feelings all inside my heart
A locked door
no key was cut that was the fit
Now I’m such a very lucky guy.
Gangway
on side now
come on
hear me say:
We found the answer and it’s plain to see - come on hear me say
That I’m for you and you’re for me
‘cause we found it
just got lucky
Together we found it
just got lucky.
I feel a quiver every time we kiss
The sky’s the limit with a love like this
‘cause we’ve found it
just got lucky
Together we found it
just got lucky
‘cause I never felt this way before
Like a dog always beggin’ for more.
I’ve been fooled by love so many times… .
We found the answer and it’s plain to see - come on hear me say
. .
I feel a quiver every time we kiss
…
I’ve been fooled by love so many times… .
Come on hear me say
just got lucky
Your technique it leaves me weak
My heart knows it’s the beat I seek
And I found it
just got lucky -
Oh boy
I found it
just got lucky
‘cause I never felt this way before.
Just got lucky
“I was never really insane except upon occasions when my heart was touched.”

What Do You Want From Me?
Monaco
What Do You Want From Me? by Monaco
There is one thing. That I would die for.
It’s when you say. My life is in your hands.
When you’re near me. Your love is all I need.
Now I can’t imagine.
What do you want from me?
It’s not how it used to be.
You’ve taken my life away
Ruining everything.
What do you want from me?
It’s not how it used to be.
You’ve taken my life away
Ruining everything.
Give me something. I can rely on.
Far away from. The life that I once know.
But what does it matter. that’s all I have to say.
And I can’t imagine.
What do you want from me?
It’s not how it used to be.
You’ve taken my life away
Ruining everything.
