Musical Interlude

It's Friday. It's raining. Time for some musical distraction. Given my list on Perfect Pop Songs, I thought I'd start with this from Alison Moyet:
In a fleeting moment of a restless day
Driven to distraction
I was captured by the game
I have often wondered why I ever wanted to
Leave these scattered hours behind me and speed myself to you
I choose never to forget
I want our lips to kiss and our limbs to entwine
Let our bodies be twisted but never our minds
Is this love? (4x)
Set to work idle hands
Shake these thoughts
Had I planned them they never would be teasing me
as viciously as these
I would not have believed you
Had I never seen
Now you and I are intimately pictured
In my dreams
I could not forsake you or fall tumbling away
And if I live in wonderland
I'm better off this way
I choose never to forget
I want our lips to kiss and our limbs to entwine
Let our bodies be twisted but never our minds
Is this love? (4x)
Set to work idle hands
Shake these thoughts
Had I planned them they never would be teasing me
As viciously as these
Is this love?

Good one Kaa...I love a Musical Interlude...here's my offering from Mr Dylan(also done by The White Stripes)
One more cup of coffee
Your breath is sweet
Your eyes are like two jewels in the sky.
Your back is straight, your hair is smooth
On the pillow where you lie.
But I don't sense affection
No gratitude or love
Your loyalty is not to me
But to the stars above.
One more cup of coffee for the road,
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below.
Your daddy he's an outlaw
And a wanderer by trade
He'll teach you how to pick and choose
And how to throw the blade.
He oversees his kingdom
So no stranger does intrude
His voice it trembles as he calls out
For another plate of food.
One more cup of coffee for the road,
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below.
Your sister sees the future
Like your mama and yourself.
You've never learned to read or write
There's no books upon your shelf.
And your pleasure knows no limits
Your voice is like a meadowlark
But your heart is like an ocean
Mysterious and dark.
One more cup of coffee for the road,
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below....all the way...'til the wheels fall off and burn...0 -

I've only ever heard Robert Plant's cover version of this song, on his Dreamland album. 8)"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe." (Albert Einstein)0 -
