Simple Love

The Saints

From the album Monkey Puzzle, 1981

I'm talking but I can see

There's no one in front of me

My eyes can't deny

I'm staring at an empty sky

Listen to what I say

Take a look at what I've done

I don't need anyone

And you don't come around

And love lies on the ground

Midnight at the Leper's home

All the creatures start to roam

Little girls in uniform

Are talking on the telephone

To someone from the twilight zone

And your simple love will always save me

While the world around me is going crazy

So listen to what I say

Take a look at what I've done

I don't need anyone

And you don't come around

And love lies on the ground

The Saints - Call It Mine - 1980

She told me I'm running
I got no feelings inside
If I were to come in
Would you take me for a ride
Because I am learning to hide
What I feel inside
It"s nothing
It always seemed such a shame
The wild man is insane he has no feelings inside
To be wild to be insane
Makes me feel that I am alive
I am running
& I am hiding
I am looking
Until I find something deep inside
Maybe on the edge of time they'll call it mine
Because I am learning to hide
What I feel inside
It"s nothing
It always seemed such a shame
What do you think that you are trying to so
hard to prove
Your face is a mask that proves you can
live with fools
I've been there I've seen it
Still I'm not satisfied
I am running & I am hiding
I am looking
Until I find something deep inside
