Helped me get over my sister's death:
Bound in a nutshell Lightning Seeds, 1990
Bound in a nutshell
lost in our weary eyes
we're tumbledown people
leading our tumbledown lives
but a breath of life
could make our engines roar
From your mouth instead of lies
a kiss of life for sleeping giants
broken, bound and battered
freezing on picket lines
a colder frost can shatter
and chain us all for lives
but a breath of life
can make our engines roar
we're from power, north of desire
tied and bound by all these lies
as step to step, open tired eyes
give a kiss of life for sleeping giants
they spin our world from cruel to kind
and make our futures a downward site
the strong get strong and still want more
but day by day giants thaw
tomorrow must be calling with an open door
there's no-one left to start our revolution anymore
we need some flames to burn down every door
oh, we're far from power, north of desire
high and dry hoping you'll send us
from your mouth instead of lies
a kiss of life for sleeping giants
far from power, north of desire
tied and bound by all these lies
step by step open tired eyes
with a kiss of life for sleeping giants
Pure - für dich, Birgit
Night time slows, raindrops splash rainbows
perhaps someone you know, could sparkle and shine
as daydreams slide to colour from shadow
picture the moonglow, that dazzles my eyes
and I love you
Just lying smiling in the dark
shooting stars around your heart
dreams come bouncing in your head
pure and simple everytime
now you're crying in your sleep
I wish, you'd never learnt to weep
don't sell the dreams you should be keeping
pure and simple everytime.
Dream of sights, of sleigh rides in seasons
where feelings not reasons can make you decide
as leaves pour down, splash autumn on gardens
as colder nights harden, their moonlit delights
and I love you
look at me with starry eyes
push me up to starry skies
there's stardust in my head
pure and simple everytime
fresh and deep as oceans now
shiver at the sight of you
I'll sing a softer tune
pure and simple over you
if loves the truth then look no lies
and let me swim around your eyes
I've found a place I'll never leave
shut my mouth and just believe
love is the truth I realize
not a stream of petty lies
to use us up and waste our time
