Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door
I, feels like fire
I'm so in love with you
Dreams are like angels
They keep bad at bay, bad at bay
Love is the light
Scaring darkness away, yeah
I'm so in love with you
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
Flame on burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door
When the chips are down
I'll be around with my undying
Death defying love for you
Envy will hurt itself
Let yourself be beautiful
Sparkling love, flowers and pearls and pretty girls
Love is like an energy
Rushin' in, rushin' inside of me, yeah
The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
Flame on burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
This time we go sublime
Lovers entwine, divine divine
Love is danger, love is pleasure
Love is pure, the only treasure
I'm so in love with you
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
The power of love
A force from above
A sky-scraping dove
Flame on burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door
Keep the vampires from your door
I, feels like fire
I'm so in love with you
Dreams are like angels
They keep bad at bay, bad at bay
Love is the light
Scaring darkness away, yeah
I'm so in love with you
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
Flame on burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door
When the chips are down
I'll be around with my undying
Death defying love for you
Envy will hurt itself
Let yourself be beautiful
Sparkling love, flowers and pearls and pretty girls
Love is like an energy
Rushin' in, rushin' inside of me, yeah
The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
Flame on burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
This time we go sublime
Lovers entwine, divine divine
Love is danger, love is pleasure
Love is pure, the only treasure
I'm so in love with you
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
The power of love
A force from above
A sky-scraping dove
Flame on burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door

Corpse I Fell In Love With

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?
Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
Holiday
Bee Gees

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
"Time passes in moments... moments which, rushing past, define the path of a life, just as surely as they lead towards its end.
How rarely do we stop to examine that path, to see the reasons why all things happen, to consider whether the path we take in life is our own making, or simply one into which we drift with eyes closed.
But what if we could stop, pause to take stock of each precious moment before it passes? Might we then see the endless forks in the road that have shaped a life? And, seeing those choices, choose another path?"
We have a choice to love or hate. Given this choice is proof that love is freely given to us as a never fading companion. This song awakens the fact that we are never alone while we walk lifes journey.
x files fan, anybody?
'love is pure, the only treasure' ....simplistic, sure, but if you dont at least aspire to this sentiment, then you must be a very empty vessel! I love this beautiful song, so full of emotion, expressing that feeling of being deeply in love. You will do ANYthing to protect your loved one, your heart brimming with incandescent, passionate, un-dreamed of love.
'Make love your goal' if this was the goal of us all, romantic love and love of life, surely all our lives would be better.
Frankie says, reply! lol.
I love this song, it reminds me of Christmas
Hee, hee. It's hard to believe this is the same band that sang "Relax". Very nice song and obviously it's about how love affects him and how powerful it is to him
Its a shame the above lyrics fail to include the talking intro and outro of: "I'll protect you from the hooded claw keep the vampires from your door" which adds greatly to the power and passion of the song. This of course was the third of the Frankie No 1's in the UK at Xmas 85. (This was one of the three songs with the same title; Power of Love, that got to number one in the year (the others being Huey Lewis and the News and Jennifer Rush). This song reflects the power of love to the protagonist of the song. A beutiful song that was used in the first as the backdrop to the first condom advert on TV in the UK (for Durex I think).
,,thanks for adding in the intro and outro Team
Wow, brilliant insight there ValoNight! An epic arrangement with imaginative lyrics featuring mystical imagery. The video is about the birth of Jesus and beautifully done indeed. Basically, the lyrics are a description of The Power of Love, but with references to love between partners as well as the caring - for - others type.
beautiful song unique at the time and YES it really does remind me of Christmas and even better my 15 yo daughter loves this song for Christmas
One of the most beautiful powerful love songs ever! I have always loved this song but it took a while for me to get my head around the video but then I got it. Pure love like a white light driving the darkness and bad things away. I always thought it was hilarious that this was the same guys that sang Relax, but hey they're both great songs in different ways.
Yes, a beautiful song with a very touching video, at least the original video (the 2000 remake was so-so).
What I've always wondered is what the heck is the "hooded-claw"?
The Hooded Claw is a character from the Penelope Pitstop cartoons. This song was originally intended to be quite ironic, with the focus on its camp imagery. The version that became a Christmas classic was slightly faster and pushed the irony to the background. The Hooded Claw obviously remained.
