Lightning Seeds, "Pure"

[shadesong]

night time slows, raindrops splash rainbows
perhaps someone you know could sparkle and shine
as daydreams slide to colour from shadow
picture the moonglow that dazzles my eyes
and I love you

just lying smiling in the dark
shooting stars around your heart
dreams come bouncing in your head
pure and simple everytime
now you're crying in your sleep
i wish you'd never learnt to weep
don't sell the dreams you should be keeping
pure and simple everytime

dreams of sights, of sleigh rides in seasons
where feelings not reasons, can make you decide
as leaves pour down, splash autumn on gardens
as colder nights harden, their moonlit delights
and I love you

just lying smiling in the dark
shooting stars around your heart
dreams come bouncing in your head
pure and simple everytime
now you're crying in your sleep
i wish you'd never learnt to weep
don't sell the dreams you should be keeping
pure and simple everytime

look at me with starry eyes
push me up to starry skies
there's stardust in my head
pure and simple everytime
fresh and deep as oceans new
shiver at the sight of you
i'll sing a softer tune
pure and simple over you

if love's the truth then look no lies
and let me swim around your eyes
I've found a place I'll never leave
shut my mouth and just believe
love is the truth I realize
not a stream of pretty lies
to use us up and waste our time

lying smiling in the dark
shooting stars around your heart
dreams come bouncing in your head
pure and simple everytime
now you're crying in your sleep
i wish you'd never learnt to weep
don't sell the dreams you should be keeping
pure and simple everytime

look at me with starry eyes
push me up to starry skies
there's stardust in my head
pure and simple everytime
fresh and deep as oceans new
shiver at the sight of you
I'll sing a softer tune
pure and simple over you
pure and simple just for you

I love that song. It made it onto almost every mix tape I made for my first two girlfriends. And the cover art for cloudcuckooland features the wussiest looking damn British kid I've ever seen, and I find that very sexy. :)

bahtswana put it on a mix tape for me, in high school. Along with "Sheriff Fatman" by Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine and "Sit on my Face" by Monty Python. :)

But yes. "Pure". It's just a *joyful* song! :)

Ok, that gains you back some ground from not knowing Leonard Cohen or Robbie Robertson. I have RR on the CD player in the D, listened to the first track at major volume after I dropepd Maddie off this morning.
