Mercury Rev - Delta Sun Bottleneck Stomp Lyrics
The boy had a way with words, he sang, he moved with graceHe entertained so naturally, no gesture out of placeHis road in life was clearly ddrawn, he didn't hesistateHe played, they saw, he conquered as the master of his fate.The girl had an iron soul no-one could recogniseMaterial ambition that her gentleness disguisedShe gave herself to him certain of his fameWanted him for luxury, for limelight and his name.And then he sang to herI love you for your silenceI love you for your peaceThe still and calm releasesThat sweep into my soulThat slowly take controlI love you for your passionI love you for your fireThe violent desireThat burns me in its flameA love I dare not nameHis rise was irresistable - he grew into the partHis explanation simply that he suffered for his artNo base considerations of some glittering rewardThe prize was knowing that his work was noticed and adoredI love you for your silenceI love you for your peaceThe still and calm releasesThat sweep into my soulThat slowly take controlYes he told the truthAccepting every honour with a masterly displayOf well rehearsed reluctance to be singled out this wayHe started to believe that he was all they said and moreWhile she forgot - she forgot the reasons she had wanted him beforeI love you for your passionI love you for your fireThe violent desireThat burns me in its flameA love I dare not nameThe still and calm releasesThat sweep into my soulThat slowly take controlAnd when at last they fell apart she wished that she could beThe hardened heart of yesterday, as cynical as he.By changing for the better, she had changed things for the worse.-acapo
