Building A Mystery

[walrus]

You come out at night
that's when the energy comes
and the dark side's light
and the vampires roam
you strut your astor wear
and your suicide poem
and a cross from a faith
that died before Jesus came
you're building a mystery

You live in a church
where you sleep with voodoo dolls
and you won't give up the search
for the ghosts in the halls
you wear sandals in the snow
and a smile that won't wash away
can you look out the window
without your shadow getting in the way
oh you're so beautiful
with an edge and a charm
but so careful
when I'm in your arms

CHORUS
'Cause you're working
building a mystery
holding on and holding it in
yeah you're working
building a mystery
and choosing so carefully

You woke up screaming aloud
a prayer from your secret god
you feed off our fears
and hold back your tears

Give us a tantrum
and a know it all grin
just when we need one
when the evening's thin

Oh you're a beautiful
a beautiful fucked up man
you're setting up your
razor wire shrine

VAN MORRISON LYRICS
THE MYSTERY LYRICS

Let go into the mystery
Let yourself go
You’ve got to open up your heart
That’s all I know
Trust what I say and do what you’re told
Baby, and all your dirt will turn
Into gold

Let go into the mystery
Let yourself go
And when you open up your heart
You get everything you need
Baby there’s a way and a mystic road
You’ve got to have some faith
To carry on

You’ve got to open up your heart
To the sun
You know he’s looking out for you
’cause he’s the one

Let go into the mystery
Let yourself go
There is no other place to be
Baby this I know
You’ve got to dance and sing
And be alive in the mystery
And be joyous and give thanks
And let yourself go

I saw the light of ancient greece
Towards the one
I saw us standing within reach
Of the sun
Let go into the mystery of life
Let go into the mystery
Let go into the mystery
Let yourself go

You’ve got to open up your arms
To the sun
You know you’ve got so many charms
It’s just begun
Trust what I say and do
What you’re told
And surely all your dirt will turn into gold

Mysterious Ways

Johnny toke a walk
With your sister the moon
Let her pale light in
To fill up your room
You’ve been living underground
Eating from a can
You’ve been running away
From what you don’t understand

She’s slippy
Your’re sliding down
She’ll be there
When you hit the ground

It’s alright...it’s alright...it’s alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It’s alright...it’s alright...it’s alright
She moves in mysterious ways

Johnny take a dive
With your sister in the rain
Let her talk about the things
You can’t explain
To touch is to heal
To hurt is to steal
If you want to kiss the sky
Better learn how to kneel (...on your knees boy!)

She’s the wave
She turns the tide
She sees the man inside the child

It’s alright...it’s alright...it’s alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It’s alright...it’s alright...it’s alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It’s alright...it’s alright...it’s alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It’s alright...it’s alright...it’s alright
Lift my days...light up my nights

One day you’ll look back
And you’ll see
Where
You were held how
By this love
While
You could stand
There
And not move on this moment
Follow this feeling

It’s alright...it’s alright...it’s alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It’s alright...it’s alright...it’s alright
We move through miracle days
Spirit moves in mysterious ways
She woves with it
She woves with it
Lift my days and light up my nights

Sting & Police Desert Rose

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I dream of fire
Those dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire
And in the flames
Her shadows play in the shape of a man's desire

This desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

And as she turns
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
This fire burns
I realise that nothing's as it seems

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I dream of rain
I lift my gaze to empty skies above
I close my eyes, this rare perfume
Is the sweet intoxication of her love

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

Sweet desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

Sweet desert rose
This memory of Eden haunts us all
This desert flower, this rare perfume
Is the sweet intoxication of the fall

A Sonnet
by Francis Beaumont

Flattering Hope, away and leave me,
She'll not come, thou dost deceive me;
Hark the cock crows, th' envious light
Chides away the silent night;
Yet she comes not, oh ! how I tire
Betwixt cold fear and hot desire.

Here alone enforced to tarry
While the tedious minutes marry,
And get hours, those days and years,
Which I count with sighs and fears
Yet she comes not, oh! how I tire
Betwixt cold fear and hot desire.

Restless thoughts a while remove
Unto the bosom of my love,
Let her languish in my pain,
Fear and hope, and fear again;
Then let her tell me, in love's fire,
What torment's like unto desire?

Endless wishing, tedious longing,
Hopes and fears together thronging;
Rich in dreams, yet poor in waking,
Let her be in such a taking:
Then let her tell me in love's fire,
What torment's like unto desire?

Come then, Love, prevent day's eyeing,
My desire would fain be dying:
Smother me with breathless kisses,
Let me dream no more of blisses;
But tell me, which is in Love's fire
Best, to enjoy, or to desire?

Elvis Presley
Title: Always On My Mind

Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied, satisfied

Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine
If I make you feel second best
Girl, I'm sorry I was blind

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied, satisfied

Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You are always on my mind
You are always on my mind

Uptown Girl
Billy Joel


Uptown girl
She's been living in her uptown world
I bet she's never had a backstreet guy
I bet her Mother never told her why

I'm gonna try for an uptown girl
(Uptown girl)
She's been living in her white bread world
(White bread world)
As long as anyone with hot blood can
(Hot blood can)
And now she's looking for a downtown man
(Downtown man)
That's what I am

And when she knows
What she wants
From her time
And when she wakes up
And makes up her mind

She'll see I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love with an uptown girl
(Uptown girl)
You know I've seen her in her uptown world
(Uptown world)
She's getting tired of her high class toys
(High class toys)
And all her presents from her uptown boys
(Uptown boys)
She's got a choice

Uptown girl
You know I can't afford to but her pearls
But maybe someday when my ship comes in
She'll understand what kind of guy I've been
(I've been)
And then I'll win

And when she's walking
She's looking so fine
And when she's talking
She'll say that she's mine

She'll say I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love
With an uptown girl
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am

Uptown girl
She's my uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl..

What with all my expectations long abandoned
And a future I no longer saw my hand in
How I found you is beyond my understanding
My stunning mystery companion

I know that you don't want to be
Out here forever on this road
Or live among the boxes
Where all my past lives have been stowed
Maybe you're thinking of someplace
With a garden by the sea
Where we could slow down
And you could put a little more work in on me

What with all my expectations long abandoned
My solitary nature notwithstanding
You're the one who pulled me
Out of that crash landing
My stunning mystery companion

Right now I can't quite remember
The cause of all my tears
I hear you laughing and somehow
The past just disappears
Maybe you were joking when you said
You'd take me for ten years and no more
Maybe you've had the best of me
But you could take another ten years and be sure

What with all my expectations long abandoned
And a life that just gets more and more demanding
There's no doubt that you're the reason I'm still standing
My stunning mystery companion

Is there secret messages in these lyrics? Do I need a special decoder ring to decipher them? I think if you take the all the words that is equivalent to prime numbers, reverse the order of all the letters, you get the phrase "The devil made me do it"

 

[walrus]

I WAS BORN TO LOVE YOU
I was born to love you
With every single beat of my heart
Yes, I was born to take care of you
Every single day...

(chorus
I was born to love you
With every single beat of my heart
Yes, I was born to take care of you
Every single day of my life

You are the one for me
I am the man for you
You were made for me
You’re my ecstasy
If I was given every opportunity
I’d kill for your love

So take a chance with me
Let me romance with you
I’m caught in a dream
And my dream’s come true
It’s so hard to believe
This is happening to me
An amazing feeling
Coming through -

(chorus)

I wanna love you
I love every little thing about you
I wanna love you, love you, love you
Born - to love you
Born - to love you
Yes I was born to love you
Born - to love you
Born - to love you
Every single day - of my life

An amazing feeling
Comin’ through

(chorus)

Yes I was born to love you
Every single day of my life

Go, I love you babe
Yes, I was born to love you
I wanna love you, love you, love you
I wanna love you
I get so lonely, lonely, lonely
Yeah, I wan’t to love you
Yeah, give it to me

Queen
YOU & I
Words and music by john deacon

Music is playing in the darkness
And a lantern goes swinging by
Shadows flickering my heart’s jittering
Just you and i
Not tonight come tomorrow
When ev’rything’s sunny and bright (sunny and bright)
No no no come tomorrow ’cause then
We’ll be waiting in the moonlight

We’ll go walking in the moonlight
Walking in the moonlight
Laughter ringing in the darkness
People drinking for days gone by
Time don’t mean a thing
When you’re by my side
Please stay awhile

You know I never could forsee the future years
You know I never could see
Where life was leading me
But will we be together forever?
What will be my love?
Can’t you see that I just don’t know

No not tonight not tomorrow
Ev’rything’s gonna be alright (sunny and bright)
Wait and see if tomorrow we’ll be
As happy as we’re feeling tonight
We’ll go walking in the moonlight (we’ll be happy)
Walking in the moonlight

I can hear the music in the darkness
Floating softly to where we lie
No more questions now
Let’s enjoy tonight
(just you and I) just you and i
Just you and i
Can’t you see that we’ve gotta be together
Be together just you and I just you and i
No more questions just you and i
