Peter Murphy - Things To Remember lyrics

Thing to Remember when writing figures of speech and sound

The Power of poetry comes from the ability to defy logic

Defy Logic Often

Use a metaphor and tell us that your lover is the sky.

Tell us that your lover is the sky.

When you do that

We won't believe you,

We won't believe you

Because saying so makes no sense

But we'll see a meaning.

We'll see a meaning

The other thing is the ability to be remembered.

Love Anything.

Love Anything

Wasted

I cut myself down

Cut myself down

Wasted

Now Breaking Free

Breaking Free

It's no longer me

Understand where you came from

Floating

I'm facing me down

Prostrate to the ground

Understand

Prostrate to the ground

Mystery

Rain down on my life

down on my life

Maybe there is nothing to say

Breathing

The future is gone

The strain of the past

Sometimes nothing often means;

The beauty of the human experience

Healing

Rain down on my life

Down on my life

Wasted

Now breaking free

Breaking free

It's no longer me

Love Anything

Use a metaphor and tell us that your lover is the sky

Love Anything.

Love Anything

Love Anything

Use a metaphor and tell us that your lover is the sky

Sometimes

Sometimes nothing often means

the beauty of the human experience,

These things are to be remembered

To be remembered
