Lyrics excerpt:
I don't care about their different thoughts,
Different thoughts are good for me
Up in arms and chaste and whole
All God's children took their toll
Look, my eyes are just holograms
Look, your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
Reasons to love this song:
This was the first song by Tanita Tikaram I have ever heard, and it will always remain one of my favourite songs by any artist. Tanita Tikaram's deep voice and calm way of singing seemed to appeal more to my brain than to my emotions, and to fit better with autumn and winter than with spring and summer, so I listened to her albums Ancient Heart and The Sweet Keeper a lot while studying for university. Despite this cerebral quality of her music, I have no clue what this song -- one of my favourite songs -- is about. But somehow it doesn't seem to matter.
