Wild About You

The Saints, 1976





You make me feel just like a savage
Honey, running through the jungle after you
I'm like a wild man on a rampage
Yeah, I found the safari, babe, but where are you?

I feel like a horrible creature
But, honey, I don't want to scare you
Yeah, you look so good I could eat you
But I won't kiss a steak so I won't eat you

I'm wild about the way-out clothes you wear
Your pretty dresses, your teased-up hair
You laugh at me since I'm staring at you
Honey, laugh at me, but you're lovin' it too

'Cause you're wild and I'm wild about you
You're wild and I'm wild about you
Come on!

Oh baby, you're so wild
I'm gonna make you mine
I'm gonna comin' to getcha
Right now

You make me feel just like a savage
Baby, running through the jungle after you
I'm like a wild man on a rampage
Yeah, I found the safari, babe, but where are you?

I feel like a horrible creature
But honey, I don't want to scare you
Yeah, you look so good that I could eat you
But I won't kiss a steak so I won't eat you

I'm wild about the way-out clothes you wear
Your pretty dresses, your teased-up hair
You laugh at me since I'm staring at you
Honey, laugh at me, but you're lovin' it too

'Cause you're wild and I'm wild about you
You're wild and I'm wild about you
Come on!

Yes you're wild - but what can I do?
Yes you're wild - I can't stand it!
Yes you're wild - I'm goin' insane!
Yes you're wild!

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




Bonus

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

God Called in Sick Today

AFI

"Because not all monsters were monsters in the beginning. Some are monsters born of sorrow." —      Fredrik Backman, My Grandmother Asked Me To Tell You She’s Sorry.






Let's admire the pattern forming
Murderous filigree
I'm caught in the twisting of the vine
Go ascend with ivy, climbing
Ignore and leave for me the headstone crumbling behind

I can't help my laughter as she cries
My soul brings tears to angelic eyes

Let's amend the classic story, close it so beautifully,
I'll let animosity unwind
Steal away the darkened pages, hidden so shamefully
I'll still feel the violence of the lines

I can't stand my laughter as they cry
My soul brings tears to angelic eyes
And miles away my mother cries
Omnipotence, nurturing malevolence.

I can't stand my laughter as they cry
My soul brings tears to angelic eyes
And miles away my mother cries
Omnipotence, nurturing malevolence. 


The Strange Door, 1951



"The Strange Door is a 1951 American film noir thriller horror film, released by Universal Pictures. The film starred Charles Laughton, Boris Karloff, Sally Forrest and Richard Stapley. Karloff's role is actually a support one but his name carried significant weight in the billing. It was directed by Joseph Pevney and was based on the short story 'The Sire de Maletroit's Door' by Robert Louis Stevenson." (Wikipedia).

£Noble-born cad Denis (Stapley) has been tricked into a forced stay at the eerie manor of the Sire de Maletroit (Laughton), an evil madman who can't get over the death of his beloved, twenty years after she married his brother (Cavanagh) instead and subsequently passed away during childbirth. Maletroit is determined to have his revenge: the brother has been stowed away in the dungeon for two decades, while he's convinced his disreputable house guest will make a suitably hellish husband for his niece. As luck would have it, the young couple manage to fall in love, and with the help of manservant Voltan (Karloff), they try to make their escape, but not before a final confrontation with Maletroit in the dungeon's crushing deathtrap" - Stephen Cooke (IMdB).

One More Try

By George Michael

From the album Faith, 1987







I've had enough of danger
And people on the streets
I'm looking out for angels
Just trying to find some peace
Now I think it's time
That you let me know
So if you love me
Say you love me
But if you don't
Just let me go...

'Cause teacher
There are things that I don't want to learn
And the last one I had
Made me cry
So I don't want to learn to
Hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine
Because it ain't no joy
For an uptown boy
Whose teacher has told him goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

When you were just a stranger
And I was at your feet
I didn't feel the danger
Now I feel the heat
That look in your eyes
Telling me 'No'
So you think that you love me
Know that you need me
I wrote the song, I know it's wrong
Just let me go...

And teacher
There are things that I don't want to learn
Oh the last one I had
Made me cry
So I don't want to learn to
Hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine
Because it ain't no joy
For an uptown boy
Whose teacher has told him goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

So when you say that you need me
That you'll never leave me
I know you're wrong, you're not that strong
Let me go

And teacher
There are things that I still have to learn
But the one thing I have is my pride
Oh, so I don't want to learn to
Hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine
Because there ain't no joy
For an uptown boy
Who just isn't willing to try
I'm so cold inside
Maybe just one more try
