The Wall

Who is putting up this wall?

Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - If I Could Build My Whole World Around You

"If I Could Build My Whole World Around You" lyrics

Oh, if I could build my whole world around you, darlin'
First, I'd put Heaven by your side
Pretty flowers would grow wherever you walked, honey
And over your head would be the bluest sky

Then I'd take every drop of rain
And wash all your troubles away
I'd have my whole world wrapped up in you, darlin'
And that would be alright, oh yes, it will

If I could build my whole world around you
I'd make your eyes the morning sun
Oh I'd put so much love where there is sorrow
And I'd put joy where there's never been none

And I'd give my love to you
For you to keep for the rest of your life
Oh, and happiness would surely be ours
And that would be alright, oh, yes, it would

Oh, if I could build my whole world around you
I'd give you the greatest gift that any woman could possess
And I'd step into this world you created
And give you true love and tenderness

And there'd be something new with every tomorrow
To make this world better as days go by
That is if I could just build my world around you
If I could build my whole world around you
And that would be alright, oh, yeah

If I could build my whole world around you
If I could build it, build it all around you
And that would be alright, oh, yeah
If I could just build my world around you
If I could build it build it my whole world around you
And that would be alright

Smokey Robinson - I Second that Emotion

"I Second That Emotion"
(with The Miracles) Lyrics

Maybe you'll wanna give me kisses sweet
But only for one night and no repeat
And maybe you'll go away and never call
And a taste of honey's worse than none at all

Oh little girl, in that case I don't want no part
I do believe that, that would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me
If you got the notion
I second that emotion

So, if you feel like givin' me
A lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion

Ooh

Maybe you think that love would tie you down
And you don't have the time to hang around
Maybe you think that love was made for fools
And so it makes you wise to break the rules

Oh little girl
In that case I don't want no part
I do believe that, that would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me
If you got the notion
I second that emotion

So, if you feel like givin' me
A lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

Oh little girl, In that case I don't want no part
I do believe that, that would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me
If you got the notion
I second that emotion

So, if you feel like givin' me
A lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion
Oh, little girl
I second that emotion
[FADES] - Ooh little girl I second that emotion

Koand - Love For Tender

He can fix you all for good
Because he is the neighbourhood
You can get money for blood
Blood money for doing no good

Love For Tender lyrics

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

You won't take my love for tender
You can put your money where your mouth is
But you're so unsure
I could be a miser or a big spender
But you might get much more than you bargained for
Check in on a checkmate
Grassing on a classmate
So beautiful and fortunate
You're the one who hates to love
But he's the one who loves to hate
He can fix you all for good
Because he is the neighbourhood
You can get money for blood
Blood money for doing no good

Better tell me now, have you made your selection?
Are you ready for correction?
Cause the wages of sin are an expensive infection
It'll make you bankrupt
Better pay up now, don't interrupt
So in love, I'm so sincere
Just like a well-known financier
You know I've never been corrupt

I'll pay you a compliment
And you'll think I am innocent
You can total up the balance sheet
And never know if I'm a counterfeit
You won't take my love for tender...

Koand - What Is It That I Need That I Don’t Already Have?

This song is about someone who is heart broken and not free. I’m trying to understand this artist’s story and it all adds up to certain implications which are massive and necessary to explore and understand as we are all connected. What is being done to him really does impact me AND everyone else.

. . .

IF the following passage is about me, I would really like to know why I can’t communicate with this person - except telepathically:


What is it that I want that I can't already taste?
A damson from a tree
A girl that I once chased
A girl who ran away and wanted to be caught
Then bade farewell to my love like some merchandise she bought

What is going on?

"What Is It That I Need That I Don't Already Have?" Lyrics

What is it that I need that I don't already have?
Who was there in the past that I couldn't seem to save?
But will I seem so smart, me and my broken heart
When I am pretending to be brave

What is there up ahead that I can't already see?
Startling as it seems, well, it's supposed to be
Where am I going next?
And if no one objects
Just close the door and that'll be the end of me

What is it that I lost that I don't really need
Some glasses for my eyes
And an hour or two of speed
My hands don't blister, my hands don't bleed
But I'll never be contented, repent or ever be lamented
'Til I'm planted down like rotten crops
And covered up with weeds

What is it that I want that I can't already taste?
A damson from a tree
A girl that I once chased
A girl who ran away and wanted to be caught
Then bade farewell to my love like some merchandise she bought

Things are going up like blasphemous prayers
I burned up all my paper money on those London derrieres
Prayers and paper money will burn until you choke
The things I should have said
They were so easily left unspoken
I didn't break you down
You were already broken

What is it that I need that I don't already have?
Who was there in the past that I couldn't even see?
But will I seem so smart, me and my broken heart
When I am pretending to be free?
When I am pretending to be free
When I am pretending to be free
