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 come 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
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
Love anything

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

Floating
I'm facing me down
Prostrate to the ground
Mystery
Rain down on my life
Down on my life

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
