Divine

"Good-Bye,baby
Baby, good-bye
Divine, oh Divine
Falling like a picture of time
Oh he was the Mother of America
He was my self-determined guru
Myself, I hold your big fat heart in my hands
And I hold your burning heart in my hands
A supernova
A flame on fire
Shining in the darkness
Did someone mention a rapture
Well I turn to think of you
Who walked the way with so much pain
Who holds the mirror up to fools
And I'll murder the ingrates
Who stand in our way!
And I'll swallow shit, laughing
On my bed of hay!
And I hold your big fat heart in my hands
And I hold your burning heart in my hands
A supernova
A flame on fire
Shining in the darkness
Divine
Divine
A supernova
A flame on fire
Shining in the darkness!"

"Divine" Antony and the Johnsons

"The measure of my dreams!"

"I've been loving you a long time
Down all the years, down all the days
And I've cried for all your troubles
Smiled at your funny little ways
We watched our friends grow up together
And we saw them as they fell
Some of them fell into Heaven
Some of them fell into Hell
I took shelter from a shower

And I stepped into your arms
On a rainy night in Soho
The wind was whistling all its charms
I sang you all my sorrows
You told me all your joys
Whatever happened to that old song
To all those little girls and boys
Sometimes I wake up in the morning

The gingerlady by my bed
Covered in a cloak of silence
I hear you talking in my head
I'm not singing for the future
I'm not dreaming of the past
I'm not talking of the first time
I never think about the last
Now the song is nearly over

We may never find out what it means
Still there's a light I hold before me
You're the measure of my dreams
The measure of my dreams."

The Pogues "Rainy night in Soho"

"While the sinners sin..."

"Bring tea for the Tillerman
Steak for the sun
Wine for the women who made the rain come
Seagulls sing your hearts away'
Cause while the sinners sin, the children play
Oh Lord how they play and play
For that happy day, for that happy day."

Cat Stevens "Tea for the Tillerman"

"You've got to fight to keep your legenday love"

"Legendary hearts, tearing us up apart with stories of their love
Their great transcendant loves
While we stand here and fight
And lose another night of legendary love
Legendary loves haunt me in my sleep
Promises to keep, I never should have made
I can't live up to this,
I'm good for just a kiss
Not legendary love.
Romeo, oh Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo
He's in a car or at a bar
Or churning his blood with an impure drug
He's in the past and seems to be lost forever
He worked hard at being good
But his basic soul was stained not pure
And when he took his bow, no audience was clapping
Legendary hearts, tear us all apart
Make our emotions bleed, crying out in need
No legendary love is coming from above
It's in this room right now
And you've got to fight to make what's righ
You've got to fight to keep your legendary love"

Lou Reed "Legendary Hearts"
