lyrics

Hello,
I walked a year of nights to reach ya.
Don’t ring the alarm!
I sold the family farm to reach ya.
And you could turn me down,
I’d still travel through the sound to meet ya.
Cuz I’ve been around,
and I’ll dig into the ground if that’s where you’ll be found.

RECEIVER,
I bet you don’t, I bet you don’t, I bet you don’t
believe it when you see it!

You know,
I never was the kind to fake it,
and we got along
cuz nothing’s too divine or sacred.
And you could nail me down
if I told a lie so flagrant,
but leave me alone!
I gotta speak my mind if I’m speaking at all.

My love,
I’m sad to say that I won’t make it.
But I met a dove
and she’s as white as I could make her.
And she won’t take you down,
not unless it’s I who says to…
but I’ll hold my tongue
cuz I can’t pray today--

but every honest man
gets a ticket to the Promised Land
if he only sez, ‘war is over if you want!’
She’ll slap you in the face again,
wipe the kisses off her only friend;
just remember: ‘war is over if you try it!’

I thought, "Could Kylie Minogue, Rolling Stones (69-73) & Cocteau Twins become as 1 via my Mac? (It didn't really pan out.)"
