"Affirmation" (1999)

Affirmation lyrics - Savage Garden

I believe the sun should never set upon an argument
I believe we place our happiness in other people's hands
I believe that junk food tastes so good because it's bad for you
I believe your parents did the best job they knew how to do
I believe that beauty magazines promote low self-esteem
I believe I'm loved when I'm completely by myself alone
I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

I believe you can't control or choose your sexuality
I believe that trust is more important than monogamy
I believe your most attractive features are your heart and soul
I believe that family is worth more than money or gold
I believe the struggle for financial freedom is unfair
I believe the only ones who disagree are millionaires

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

I believe forgiveness is the key to your unhappiness
I believe that wedded bliss negates the need to be undressed
I believe that God does not endorse TV evangelists
I believe in love surviving death into eternity

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

[repeat ]

Hold Me lyrics - Savage Garden

Hey
If we can't find a way out of these problems
Then maybe we don't need this
Standing face to face
Enemies at war we build defences
And secret hiding places

[Chorus:]
I might need you to hold me tonight
I might need you to say it's alright
I might need you to make the first stand
Because tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man

Hey
More than angry words I hate this silence
It's getting so loud
Well I want to scream
But bitterness has silenced these emotions
It's getting hard to breathe
So tell me isn't happiness
Worth more than a golden diamond ring?
I'm willing to do anything
To calm the storm in my heart
I've never been the praying kind
But lately I've been down upon my knees
Not looking for a miracle
Just a reason to believe

[Chorus]

Do you remember not long ago?
When we used to live for the nighttime
Cherish each moment
Now we don't live we exist
We just run through our lives
So alone
That's why you've got to hold me

Hey
If we can't find a way out of these problems
Then maybe we don't need this
Standing face to face
Enemies at war we build defences
And secret hiding places

[Chorus]

I Knew I Loved You lyrics - Savage Garden

Maybe it's intuition
But some things you just don't question
Like in your eyes
I see my future in an instant
and there it goes
I think I've found my best friend
I know that it might sound more than
a little crazy but I believe

[chorus:]

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

There's just no rhyme or reason
only this sense of completion
and in your eyes
I see the missing pieces
I'm searching for
I think I found my way home
I know that it might sound more than
a little crazy but I believe

[repeat chorus]

A thousand angels dance around you
I am complete now that I found you

[repeat chorus to fade]

The Best Thing lyrics - Savage Garden

Never want to fly
Never want to leave
Never want to say what you mean to me
Never want to run
Frightened to believe
You're the best thing about me

Sometimes I feel like this is only chemistry
Stuck in a maze searching for a way to
Shut down turn around feel the ground beneath me
You're so close where do you end where do I begin?
Always pushing and pulling
Sometimes sanity takes vacation time on me
I'm in a daze stumbling bewildered
North of gravity head up in the stratosphere
You and I roller coaster riding love
You're the center of adrenaline
And I'm beginning to understand

Never want to fly
Never want to leave
Never want to say what you mean to me
Never want to run
Frightened to believe
You're the best thing about me

Walk on broken glass make my way through fire
These are the things I would do for love
Farewell peace of mind kiss goodbye to reason
Up is down the impossible occurs each day
This intoxication thrills me
I only pray it doesn't kill me

Never want to fly
Never want to leave
Never want to say what you mean to me
Never want to run
Frightened to believe
You're the best thing about me

You're the center of adrenaline
And I'm beginning to understand
You could be the best thing about me

Never want to fly
Never want to leave
Never want to say what you mean to me
Never want to run
Frightened to believe
You're the best thing about me

You could be the best thing about me
What if you're the best thing about me?


Crash And Burn lyrics - Savage Garden

When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart
I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you
It's hard to find relief and people can be so cold
When darkness is upon your door and you feel like you can't take anymore

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

When you feel all alone
And a loyal friend is hard to find
You're caught in a one way street
With the monsters in your head
When hopes and dreams are far away and
You feel like you can't face the day

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

'Cause there has always been heartache and pain
And when it's over you'll breathe again
You'll breath again

When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please
To tame your wild wild heart

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

Chained To You lyrics - Savage Garden

We were standing all alone you were leaning in to speak to me
Acting like a mover shaker dancing to Madonna then you kissed me
And I think about it all the time
Sweet temptation rush all over me
And I think about it all the time
Passion desire so intense I can't take anymore because

I feel the magic all around you
It's bringing me to my knees
Like a wannabe
I've got to be chained to you

And when you looked into my eyes felt a sudden sense of urgency
Fascination casts a spell and you became more than just a mystery
And I think about you all the time
Is this fate is it my destiny
That I think about you all the time
I no longer pretend to have my hand on the wheel because

I feel the magic all around you
It's bringing me to my knees
Like a wannabe
I've got to be chained to you
I feel the magic building around you

I feel the magic all around you
It's bringing me to my knees
Like a wannabe
I've got to be chained to you

And I think about you all the time
And I think about you all the time
Yeah I think about it all the time
Tell me it's madness I barely know you
We were standing all alone you were leaning in to speak to me
Ten steps back you're still a mystery
Acting live a mover shaker dancing to Madonna then you kissed me
I can't take anymore because

I feel the magic all around you
It's bringing me to my knees
Like a wannabe
I've got to be chained to you
I feel the magic building around you

I feel the magic all around you
It's bringing me to my knees
Like a wannabe
I've got to be chained to you

Tell me it's madness
I barely know you


The Animal Song lyrics - Savage Garden

When superstars and cannonballs are running through your head
A television freak show cops and robbers everywhere
Subway makes me nervous, people pushing me too far
I've got to break away
So take my hand now

[Chorus:]
'Cause I want to live like animals
Careless and free like animals
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle
The wind in my hair and the sand at my feet

I've been having difficulties keeping to myself
Feelings and emotions better left up on the shelf
Animals and children tell the truth, they never lie
Which one is more human
There's a thought, now you decide

Compassion in the jungle
Compassion in your hands, yeah
Would you like to make a run for it
Would you like to take my hand, yeah

[chorus]

Sometimes this life can get you down
It's so confusing
There's so many rules to follow
And I feel it
'Cause I just run away in my mind

Superstars and cannonballs running through your head
Television freak show cops and robbers everywhere
Animals and children tell the truth, they never lie
Which one is more human
There's a thought, now you decide

Compassion in the jungle
Compassion in your hands, yeah
Would you like to make a run for it
Would you like to take my hand, yeah

[repeat chorus to fade]

The Lover After Me lyrics - Savage Garden

Here I go again I promised myself I wouldn't think of you today
It's been seven months and counting
You've moved on
I still feel exactly the same
It's just that everywhere I go all the buildings know your name
Like photographs and memories of love
Steel and granite reminders
The city calls your name and I can't move on

Ever since you've been gone
The lights go out the same
The only difference is
You call another name
To your love
To your lover now
To your love
The lover after me

Am I all alone in the universe?
There's no love on these streets
I have given mine away to a world that didn't want it anyway
So this is my new freedom
It's funny
I don't remember being chained
But nothing seems to make sense anymore
Without you I'm always twenty minutes late

Ever since you've been gone
The lights go out the same
The only difference is
You call another name
To your love
To your lover now
To your love
The lover after me

And time goes by so slowly
The nights are cold and lonely
I shouldn't be holding on
But I'm still holding on for you

Here I go again
I promised myself I wouldn't think of you today
But I'm standing at your doorway
I'm calling out your name because I can't move on

Ever since you've been gone
The lights go out the same
The only difference is
You call another name
To your love
To your lover now
To your love
The lover after me

Two Beds And a Coffee Machine lyrics - Savage Garden

and she takes another step
slowly she opens the door
check that he is sleeping
pick up all the broken glass
and furniture on the floor
been up half the night screaming
now it's time to get away
pack up the kids in the car
another bruise to try and hide
another alibi to write
another ditch in the road
you keep moving
another stop sign
you keep moving on
and the years go by so fast
wonder how I ever made it through

and there are children to think of
baby's asleep in the back seat
wonder how they'll ever make it
through this living nightmare
but the mind is an amazing thing
full of candy dreams and new toys
and another cheap hotel
two beds and a coffee machine
but there are groceries to buy
and she knows she'll have to go home

another ditch in the road
you keep moving
another stop sign
you keep moving on
and the years go by so fast
wonder how I ever made it through

another bruise to try and hide
another alibi to write
another lonely highway in the black of night
there's hope in the darkness
I know you're gonna make it

another ditch in the road
keep moving
another stop sign
you keep moving on
and the years go by so fast
silent fortress built to last
wonder how I ever made it

You Can Still Be Free lyrics - Savage Garden

Cool breeze and autumn leaves
Slow motion daylight
A lone pair of watchful eyes
Oversee the living
Feel the presence all around
A tortured soul
A wound unhealing
No regrets or promises
The past is gone
But you can still be free
If time will set you free
Time now to spread your wings
To take to flight
The life endeavour
Aim for the burning sun
You're trapped inside
But you can still be free
If time will set you free
But it's a long long way to go

Keep moving way up high
You see the light
It shines forever
Sail through the crimson skies
The purest light
The light that sets you free
If time will set you free

Sail through the wind and rain tonight
You're free to fly tonight
And you can still be free
If time will set you free
And going higher than the mountain tops
And go high like the wind don't stop
And go high
Free to fly tonight
Free to fly tonight

Gunning Down Romance lyrics - Savage Garden

Love and other moments are just chemical reactions in your brain
In your brain
And feelings of aggression are the absence of the love drug in
Your veins, in your veins
Love come quickly
Because I feel my self-esteem is caving in
It's on the brink
Love come quickly
Because I don't think I can keep this monster in
It's in my skin

Love and other socially acceptable emotions are morphine
They're morphine
Cleverly concealing primal urges often felt but rarely seen
Rarely seen
Love I beg you
Lift me up into that privileged point of view
The world of two
Love don't leave me
Because I console myself that HallmarkT cards are true
I really do

I'm gunning down romance
It never did a thing for me
But heartache and misery
Ain't nothing but a tragedy

Love don't leave me

Take these broken wings
I'm going to take these broken wings
And learn to fly
And learn to fly away
And learn to fly away

I'm gunning down romance

I Don't Know You Anymore lyrics - Savage Garden

I would like to visit you for a while
Get away and out of this city
Maybe I shouldn't have called but someone had to be the first to break
We can go sit on your back porch
Relax
Talk about anything
It don't matter
I'll be courageous if you can pretend that you've forgiven me

Because I don't know you anymore
I don't recognize this place
The picture frames have changed and so has your name
We don't talk much anymore
We keep running from the pain
But what I wouldn't give to see your face again

Springtime in the city
Always such relief from the winter freeze
The snow was more lonely than cold
If you know what I mean
Everyone's got an agenda, don't stop
Keep that chin up, you'll be all right
Can you believe what a year it's been
Are you still the same?
Has your opinion changed?
'Cause I don't know you anymore
I don't recognize this place
The picture frames have changed and so has your name
We don't talk much anymore
We keep running from these sentences
But what I wouldn't give to see your face again

I know I let you down
Again and again
I know I never really treated you right
I've paid the price
I'm still paying for it every day

So maybe I shouldn't have called
Was it too soon to tell?
Oh what the hell
It doesn't really matter
How do you redefine something that never really had a name?
Has your opinion changed?

Because I don't know you anymore
I don't recognize this place
The picture frames have changed and so has your name
We don't talk much anymore
We keep running from the pain
But what I wouldn't give to see your face again

I see your face
I see your face

"Savage Garden" (1997)

To The Moon And Back lyrics - Savage Garden

She's taking her time making up
the reasons
To justify all the hurt inside
Guess she knows from the smile
and the look in their eyes
Everyone's got a theory about the
bitter one
They're saying, "Mamma never loved
her much"
And, "Daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she shies away from
human affection"
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now she's waiting for the right
kind of pilot to come
And she'll say to him
She's saying

[chorus:]
I would fly to the moon & back if
you'll be...
If you'll be my baby
Got a ticket for a world where we
belong
So would you be my baby?

She can't remember a time when she
felt needed
If love was red then she was colour
blind
All her friends they've been tried for
treason
And crimes that were never defined
She's saying, "Love is like a barren
place,
And reaching out for human faith is
Is like a journey I just don't have a
map for"
So baby's gonna take a dive and
Push the shift to overdrive
Send a signal that she's hanging
All her hopes on the stars
What a pleasant dream
Just saying

[chorus]

(hold on... hold on...)

Mamma never loved her much
And Daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she shies away from
human affection
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now she's waiting for the right
kind of pilot to come
And she'll say to him
Just saying

[chorus twice]

I Want You lyrics - Savage Garden

Anytime I need to see your face,
I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place where
your crystal mind and
Magenta feelings take up shelter
in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chic-a-cherry cola
I don't need to try and explain;
I just hold on tight
And if it happens again, I might move
so slightly
To the arms and the lips and the face
of the human cannonball
That I need to, I want to

Come stand a little bit closer
Breath in and get a bit higher
You'll never know what hit you
When I get to you

[chorus:]

Ooh, I want you
I don't know if I need you
But, ooh, I'd die to find out
Ooh, I want you
I don't know if I need you
But, ooh, I'd die to find out

I'm the kind of person who endorses
a deep commitment
Getting comfy getting perfect
is what I live for
But a look, then a smell of perfume
It's like I'm down on the floor
And I don't know what I'm in for

Conversation has a time and place
In the interaction of a lover and
a mate,
But the time of talking,
using symbols, using words
Can be likened to a deep sea diver
who is swimming with a raincoat

Come stand a little bit closer
Breathe in and get a bit higher
You'll never know what hit you
When I get to you

[chorus]

Anytime I need to see your face,
I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place where
your crystal mind and
Magenta feelings take up shelter
in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chic-a-cherry cola

I don't need to try and explain;
I just hold on tight
And if it happens again, I might move
so slightly
To the arms and the lips and the face
of the human cannonball
That I need to, I want to

[chorus]

So can we find out?

Truly Madly Deeply lyrics - Savage Garden

I'll be your dream
I'll be your wish I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope I'll be your love
Be everything that you need
I'll love you more with every breath
Truly, madly, deeply do
I will be strong I will be faithful
'cause I'm counting on
A new beginning
A reason for living
A deeper meaning, yeah

[chorus:]
I want to stand with you on
a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me

And when the stars are shining
brightly in the velvet sky,
I'll make a wish send it to heaven
Then make you want to cry
The tears of joy for all the
pleasure and the certainty
That we're surrounded by the
comfort and protection of

The highest powers
In lonely hours
The tears devour you

[chorus]

Oh can you see it baby?
You don't have to close your eyes
'Cause it's standing right
before you
All that you need will surely come

I'll be your dream I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope I'll be your love
Be everything that you need
I'll love you more with every breath
Truly, madly, deeply do

[chorus]

I want to stand with you on a
mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to live like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me

Tears of Pearls lyrics - Savage Garden

And we stare each other down
Like victims in the grind
Probing all the weakness
And hurt still left behind and we cry
The tears of pearls
We do it. Oh we do it.
Is love really the tragedy the way you
Might describe?
Or would a thousand lovers
Still leave you cold inside?
Make you cry...
These tears of pearls

[Chorus:]
All these mixed emotions we
Keep locked away like stolen pearls
Stolen pearl devotions we
Keep locked away from all the world

Your kisses are like pearls,
So different and so rare
But anger stole the jewels away
And love has left you bare,
Made you cry...
These tears of pearls

Well I could be the tired joker
Pour my heart to get you in
Sacrifice my happiness
Just so I could win
Maybe cry...
These tears of pearls

[Chorus]

We twist and turn where angels burn
Like fallen soldiers we will learn
That once forgotten, twice removed
Love will be the death...
The death of you

[Repeat chorus]

Universe lyrics - Savage Garden

Well I want to take you as I find you
Imagine our clothes are on the floor
Feel my caress so soft and gentle
So delicate you cry for more
But you know baby
You know baby does it right
And you know baby does it right

[chorus:]

Universe inside of your heart
You gotta let me know
so you can be free baby
You wanted it so much,
and now that it's over
You don't know what you want

Put time in a capsule
Two minds consensual
Entwined to perfection
If we could...

Cuddle up close
Lay on my chest now
Listen my heart beat's coming down
If you get tired you close your
eyes now
When you wake up I won't be found
'Cause I know baby
I know you're the nervous kind
With so much going on in your mind

[chorus]

But let me tell you that, this time,
I'm gonna make you mine
(I won't let you go)
'Cause I know, this time
I'm gonna make sure I look out
for me

'Cause you know baby
Well you know baby does it right
And you know baby does it right
You will only end up lost in loneliness
And wake up with the words already
on your lips
So I'll let you go, baby
So I'll let you go...

[chorus]

Carry On Dancing lyrics - Savage Garden

The moonlight...
Shines down interstellar beams
And the groove tonight
Is something more than you've ever seen
The stars and planets taking shape
A stolen kiss has come too late
In the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing,
Carry on, carry on dancing
In the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing,
Carry on, carry on dancing

You're never safe 'till you see the dawn
And if the clock strikes past midnight
The hope is gone
To move under...

In the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing,
Carry on, carry on dancing
In the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing,
Carry on, carry on dancing

Move. Closer. Passion. Stronger

There's a magic only two can tell
In the dark night
Ultra violet is a wicked spell
The stars and planets taking shape
A stolen kiss has come to late

In the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing,
Carry on, carry on dancing
In the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing,
Carry on, carry on dancing

Moving on... Moving all night

Violet lyrics - Savage Garden

If there's a way that you could
be everything you want to be,
Would you complain that it came too easy?
Just like the games with you and me
A resolution hard to see,
But that's O.K. 'cause I don't
see things that are plain to see
I've got a dream to take you over
Exploding like a supernova
I'm gonna crash into your world
And that's no lie

You want to give ecstacy delivered
with certainty
But you're afraid that the pleasure
won't be needed
In a way, we're the same two people
looking out to sea
For a wave that would carry all our
fantasies

If there's a way to infiltrate you
Sway your mind and complicate you
I'm gonna crash into your world
And that's no lie

Let your body move into the doorway
To the disco inside your head (Violet)
Wear a color that you want to cling to
The color inside your head (Violet)

Contemplate jealously intermixed
with urgency
A million things take a damned
good shot at you and me

If there's a way to infiltrate you
Sway your mind and complicate you
I'm gonna crash into your world
And that's no lie

Let your body move into the doorway
To the disco inside your head (Violet)
Wear a color that you want to cling to
The color inside your head (Violet)

Dance to the disco, Dance to the disco
Dance to the disco, Dance to the disco

I'm gonna take you
I'll do my best to break you
I'm gonna take you higher
And that's no lie

Common sense is a game many
people don't like to play
But give it in and the moment takes
you either way

I've got a dream to take you over
Exploding like a supernova
I'm gonna crash into your world
And that's no lie

Let your body move into the doorway
To the disco inside your head (Violet)
Wear a color that you want to cling to
The color inside your head (Violet)

If there's a way that you could
be everything you want to be,
Would you complain that it came too easy?
In a way, we're the same two people
looking out to sea
For a wave that would carry all our
fantasies

Break Me Shake Me lyrics - Savage Garden

I never thought I'd change my
opinion again
But you moved me in a way that I've
never known
You moved me in a way that I've
never known
But straight away you just moved
into position again
You abused me in a way that I've
never known
You abused me in a way that I've
never known

[chorus:]
So break me shake me hate me
take me over
When the madness stops then you
will be alone
Just break me shake me hate me
take me over
When the madness stops then you
will be alone

So you're the kind who deals with the
games in the mind
Well you confuse me in a way that
I've never known
You confuse me in a way that I've
never known

[chorus]

She says, "I can help you, but what
do you say?"
But it's not free baby, you'll have
to pay
You just keep me contemplating, that
your soul is slowly fading

God don't you know that I live with a ton
of regret?
'Cause I used to move you in a way that
you've never known
But then I accused you in a way that
you've never known
But you hurt me in a way that I've
never known...

Break me shake me hate me take
me over
When the madness stops then you
will be alone
So won't you break me shake me
hate me take me over
When the madness stops then you
will be alone

Listen, baby
You'll be, you'll be alone

Break me shake me hate me take
me make me
Fake me break me shake me hate
me take me
Break me

A Thousand Words lyrics - Savage Garden

We stumble in a tangled web,
decaying friendships almost dead
And hide behind a mask of lies
We twist and turn and we avoid,
all hope of salvage now devoid
I see the truth inside your eyes
So take all this noise into your brain
and send it back again
I'll bear the cost, shed my skin, call
you up and then...
I'll say the words out loud

[chorus:]
You could resurrect a thousand
words to deceive me more and more
A thousand words will give the
reasons why I don't need you
anymore

Time manipulates your heart,
preconceptions torn apart
Begin to doubt my state of mind
But I won't go down on what I said
I won't retract convictions read
I may perplex, but I'm not blind
So take all this noise into your brain
and send it back again
I'll bear the cost, shed my skin, call
you up and then...
I'll say the words out loud

[chorus ]

I'll say the words out loud. I'll say a
thousand words or more

Manipulation. Fabrication.
Conversation. Annihilation
I'll say a thousand words or more
Damnation. Frustration. Elevation.
Procreation
I'll say a thousand words or more

[repeat chorus]

Promises lyrics - Savage Garden

Well don't you know I need a
little indulgence?
Listen to the hunter becoming
hunted
Every day there's a million advances
Don't be too forceful you'll ruin
your chances
Well don't you know that time is a
broken glass
That splinters against the wall?
But the picture is coming back
now baby,
And I want to take it all

[chorus:]

Don't go making all these promises
you know you cannot keep
There's a time to play a king and a
time to be the thief
'Cause if you're making all these
promises you know you cannot keep
You know time will be the thief and
your fallen king will end up alone

So let your body move a little
bit closer
Silent like the sound proceeding
a cyclone
Don't you know that
powerful thinking
Can be a force you don't want
to relinquish?
Well don't you know that,
They say that hanging on will justify
the wait?
But patience and elated wisdom
don't share a common phrase

[chorus]

Well, I'm only hanging on for what
goes down
I'm floating high and my feet don't
touch the ground
I'd take advantage but I can't see
through this charade
So don't you, don't go make it harder
than hell
'Cause when it comes down to
the making
You better be damned sure you can
take it
Hey baby

[chorus]

Time will be the thief
and your fallen king will end up...
A fool, a fool, a lonely sorry fool
Oh baby, 'cause I told you baby

Santa Monica lyrics - Savage Garden

In Santa Monica, in the winter time,
The lazy streets so undemanding
I walk into the crowd
In Santa Monica, you get your
coffee from
The coolest places on the
promenade
Where people dress just so
Beauty so unavoidable, everywhere
you turn
It's there I sit and wonder what am I
doing here?
But on the telephone line I
am anyone
I am anything I want to be
I could be a super model or
Norman Mailer
And you wouldn't know the
difference
Or would you?

In Santa Monica, all the people got
modern names
Like Jake or Mandy
And modern bodies too
In Santa Monica, on the boulevard,
You'll have to dodge those
In-line skaters
Or they'll knock you down
I never felt so lonely,
Never felt so out of place
I never wanted something more
than this

But on the telephone line I
am anyone
I am anything I want to be
I could be a super model or
Norman Mailer
And you wouldn't know the
difference
On the telephone line, I am
any height
I am any age I want to be
I could be a caped crusader, or
space invader
And you wouldn't know
the difference
Or would you?

All Around Me lyrics - Savage Garden

Well you know everytime I look at that expression printed
on the page
I think I hear you,
Whispering the magic and the compliments I need so badly
So baby come on, yeah, so baby come on
Now I've been running circles around the notion that you'd
find me baby,
One day maybe.
But all the psychic powers of suggestion I've been sending
your way,

So can't you hear me say?
I want your arms all around me,
I want your face, yeah, all around me,
I want your perfume, all around me,
I like the way you move,
And do the funky groove.

All around me I want you.
All around me I need you.
All around me I want you.
All around me.

So can't you hear me say?
I want your arms all around me,
I want your face, yeah, all around me,
I want your perfume, all around me,
I like the way you move,
And do the funky groove.

Like cold chardonnay chilled for a day,
You're smooth and crisp and on display.
Like Cartier, Armani, like TAG, Gucci, Versace.
In the middle of the night you're a kiss so long.
You're the only good thing when all is wrong.
You're a magic time reversal clock.
You're the fries on the side with a cherry on top.
You're sleek, velvet, gold lame, patent leather, enchante.
You're a legend, you're a glamor queen.
God I'm running out of words but you know what I mean...

All around me I want you.
All around me I need you.
All around me I want you.

So can't you hear me say?
I want your arms all around me,
I want your face, yeah, all around me,
I want your perfume, all around me,
I like the way you move, and do the funky groove.

So slide into your Jaguar, or Porsche baby, there you are.
Well chop chop darling au revoir.
Pick up your things you're a star

Fire Inside The Man lyrics - Savage Garden

Woman I need your guiding hand
show me the way to the promised land
the fever that burns in my heart
you're the fire inside the man
yes you are.
Whenever I feel like just giving up
whenever my dreams just fade away
I just return to my heart 'cause I know that I'll find you
there yes I will.

And when the world is closing in
you come save me once again.

'Cause woman I need your guiding hand
show me the way to the promised land
the fever that burns in my heart
you're the fire inside the man
yes you are.

Well, there's never been a boy, who's luckier
there's never been more grateful man
And although I don't show it and I
I know what I've got with you
yes I do.

'Cause Woman I need your guiding hand,
show me the way to the promised land
the fever that burns in my heart
you're the fire inside the man
yes you are.

And if there's a storm that's close at hand
you'll push it away, you'll understand
And I'll do anything
just to please you
I'll do anything just to know that I can hold on to you.

Whenever I feel like just giving up
whenever my dreams just fade away
I just return to my heart 'cause I know that I'll find you
there yes I will.

'Cause woman I need it
woman I need it
woman I need it
I need it
I need your guiding hand.

Woman I need your guiding hand
show me the way to the promised land
the fever that burns in my heart
you're the fire inside the man
yes you are.

'Cause woman I need your guiding hand
show me the way to the promised land
the fever that burns in my heart
you're the fire inside the man
yes you are.

You are.

I Don't Care lyrics - Savage Garden

I ride this train
in the windswept afternoon
and the sunlight warms the faces
of the faithless who are waiting
I ride this train
but I need a conversation
mozambique or was it veronique?
how about you pick the subject
and I'll listen to you?

people tell me that I feel too much
but I don't care, I don't care
people tell me that I need too much
but I don't care, no I don't care

I ride this train
in a dream-like state of mind
through a field of frozen memories
imagination racing
I ride this train
but I need to make connections
no I wasn't staring
I was only trying
to get some substance
to get some meaning

people tell me that I feel too much
but I don't care, no I don't care
people tell me that I need too much
well I don't care, no I don't care

people tell me that I feel too much
oh no cause I don't care
no I just don't care anymore
I will ride this train

people tell me that I feel too much
but I don't care, no I don't care
people tell me that I need too much
but I don't care, no I just don't care

people tell me that I feel too much
oh no cause I don't care
no I just don't care anymore
as I ride this train

as I ride this train
as I ride this train
keep on riding this train
as I ride this train
as I ride this train
oooh

I'll Bet He was Cool lyrics - Savage Garden

You know every once in a while
I shoot the breeze I spend my time
I talk about silly things
I like to talk about Jesus Christ
Cos I wonder what would happen if He passed you by
Would you be scared?
Would you believe in Him?
Would you bust your asses to get him institutionalised?
Well, I bet he'd be cool
I bet He be damn good looking
I bet that He smelt divine
I'm not talking about Calvin Klein's Obsession
Just one of those people smell good all the time
There's no reason why

What would He wear
Would He wear Tommy Hilfiger?
Or prefer Urban Outfitted?
I don't think so
Well, I bet He liked Gaultier
But you'd never find him in it
I bet He liked Gaultier

Lord I need your protection spend some time in my direction
I need your protection spend some time in my direction
I need your protection spend some time in my direction

You know every once and a while
I shoot the breeze I spend my time
I talk about silly things
And tonight I'd like to talk to you about Jesus Christ
'Cos I wonder how we'd deal if He just passed you by
I bet he'd be a star
I bet my star wars figures He would be a movie star
A Quentin Tarantino next-big-thing
Prima donna, then he'd appear on Oprah
But you know what? I don't think so

Could you imagine him hanging Piccadilly Circus
Time Square, the walk of fame
At Christie's He could easily become a regular
D'you know what? I don't think so
I bet my speeder bike he'd turn his back on all of that

Lord I need your protection spend some time in my direction
I need your protection spend some time in my direction
I need your protection spend some time in my direction

Some people have just got it
You know like standing next to Elvis Presley
Well then multiply that feeling by 1 million and you know
what I'm talking about
Well I'll bet He was cool
Man I bet that cat was so damn good looking

Last Christmas lyrics - Savage Garden

last Christmas I gave you my heart
but the very next day you gave it away
and this year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
well last Christmas I gave you my heart
but the very next day you gave it away
and this year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone... special

so whoa... oh ohh ohh

once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance
but you still catch my eye
tell me baby, do you recognise me
well, it's been a year
it doesn't surprise me

Happy Christmas
I wrapped it up and sent it
with a letter saying I loved you
I meant it
now I know what a fool I've been
but if you kiss me now
I know you'll fool me again

last Christmas I gave you my heart
but the very next day you gave it away (you gave it away)
and this year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (special)

last Christmas I gave you my heart
but the very next day you gave it away
(you gave it away)
and this year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (special)
special

so whoa.... ohh ohh ohhh
noo oooh

a crowded room
friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you
and your soul of ice
my God I thought you were someone to rely on
me, I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

face on a lover with a fire in his heart
a man under cover when you tore me apart
ooh ooh, now I've found a real love
you'll never fool me again

last Christmas I gave you my heart
but the very next day you gave it away
(you gave it away)
and this year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (special)

last Christmas I gave you my heart
but the very next day you gave it away
(you gave it away)
and this year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone (special)
I'll give it someone...

[chorus to end]

special

so whoa whoa whoa
ohh ohh ohh ohh
noo oooh

guilty feet, they got no rhythm
guilty feet, they got no rhythm
no no
ooh ooh
now I've found a real love
you'll never fool me again

no no
someone
so whoa whoa whoa
ohh no no no
no oooh

ooh ba ba na
ba ba ba ooh no
ba ba ooh no
ba ba ooh no
ooh ooh
yeah yeah

Love Can Move You lyrics - Savage Garden

Get me through the heart of the freeway
Got to see the lights up in New York city
I'm so close I think I can hear the sound of the taxi siren symphony
Don't you want to feel amazing?
Baby You know I do
You get back ten times what you give freely
Like my mamma told me
Love can move you take you deeper every time
Can make the darkest moments feel like heaven's come alive
Love can move you to a place inside your heart
Where you can fear no evil, acceptance is a natural part of life

Get me to the heart of the subway
Creepin' like a snake into New York city
I'm so close I think I can see those lights
Let the sun get closer to the ground
Don't you want to feel amazing?
Baby you know I do
You get back ten times what you give freely
Like my mamma told me

Love can move you take you deeper every time
Can make the darkest moments feel like heaven's come alive
Love can move you to a place inside your heart
Where you can fear no evil, acceptance is a natural part of life

It's about the one thing
Not about the kind of shoes your wearing
Not about religion

And I breathe the love you've given
And I feel the love you've hidden
And though it's cold down here well I can honestly say
I can still stay

That love can move you
That love can move you too child

Love can move you take you deeper every time
Can make the darkest moments feel like heaven's come alive
Love can move you to a place inside your heart
Where you can fear no evil, acceptance is a natural part of life

Memories Are Designed To Fade lyrics - Savage Garden

I'd never let you down, when you're in a fix,
I'd come running when you call,
That's my weakness, baby.
So connected are we.

You get your kicks from the ghost of a memory,
So busy turning away from reality, baby.
That you just won't let go.

But memories fade,
Yeah, they're designed that way.

But you're so wrapped up in her you don't see straight.
Watch her mangle the truth while you take the bait.
So tell her can't you see?
You're just turning yourself inside out for no need.

This thing you're using is worse than a photograph,
It picks you up and turns you inside you now, baby.
And you just won't let go.

But memories fade,
Yeah, they're designed that way.

She doesn't love you anymore,
Maybe she did long ago.
You're just a slave to the grind, that she grew tired of, baby.
So tell her can't you see?
You're just turning yourself inside out for no need.

But memories fade,
Yeah, they're designed that way.

She doesn't love you anymore,
Maybe she did long ago.
You're just a slave to the grind, that she grew tired of, baby.
So tell her can't you see?
You're just turning yourself inside out for no need.
You're just turning yourself inside out for no need.

You're just turning yourself inside out for no need

Mine lyrics - Savage Garden

I wait in the darkness.
Frozen winds surround my face.
In the cover of darkness I can make believe it's you.
I feel you like the rain, I feel you like a storm cloud
building in my heart.
I wonder if you know the pain, to want the one thing you
haven't got.
Just a twist in time ...and you could be mine
Just a sip of wine ...and you could be mine
Just a kiss divine

A hand brushes by my love. A smile fuels a steel inferno
You don't have to die to leave my world.
Stand still and you've departed.
It seems I'm not on your mind and
I'm just wasting my time.

I'm just a fool to believe.
In the death of the night can you feel me inside?
I wish that you could conceive..

Just a twist in time ...and you could be mine
Just a sip of wine ...and you cloud be mine
Just a kiss divine ...and you could be mine

Won't you leave me in the darkness.
Take away the pride, all the dignity that's burning inside.
Can't you see I'm standing naked.
I'll bear all the crosses and the crucifixes you can
provide.
If you could decide.

Just a twist in time ...and you could be mine
Just a sip of wine ...and you could be mine
Just a kiss divine ...and you could be mine

She lyrics - Savage Garden

She sacrifices time
She sells her dreams for mine
And like the silence of an angry storm
She is stronger all the while, waiting

She is beauty undefined
She would search through space and time for me
And like a mother with an infant child,
So protective, standing tall and watching

She would do it all for love

When sleep has laid to rest a fire that I know
And magic dreams amidst your head
I lay beside, I know that you can feel I'm there
(Shh, it's late)

She sells her dreams for mine
She
