terence trent d arby - wishing well
Kissing like a bandit
Stealing time
Underneath a sycamore tree
Cupid by the hour sends
Valentines
To my sweet lover and me
Slowly
But surely
Your appetite is more than I knew
Sweetly
Softly
I'm falling in love with you
Wish me love a wishing well
To kiss and tell
A wishing well of butterfly tears
Wish me love a wishing well
To kiss and tell
A wishing well of crocodile cheers
Hugging like a monkey see
Monkey do
Right beside a riverboat gambler
Erotic images float through my head
So I wanna be
Your midnight rambler
Quickly
Quickly
The blood races through my veins
Quickly
Loudly
I wanna hear those sugar bells ring
Wish me love a wishing well
To kiss and tell
A wishing well of butterfly tears
Wish me love a wishing well
To kiss and tell
A wishing well of crocodile cheers
terence trent d arby - and i need to be with someone tonight
Shine on your light
Lead me to your home
Lower your sights
Put away your comb
Though black babies are starving
And cows fed for the carving
All I know is I'm lonely
And I need to be with someone tonight
Lift up your chin
Let me see your eyes
Words are not my yen
My tongue is often tied
Though apartheid's a greater issue
I long to hear "I miss you"
All I know is I'm lonely
And I need to be with someone tonight
'Till men stop being intimidated
By women who have made it
All I know is I'm lonely
And I need to be with someone tonight
terence trent d arby - and they will never know
On a starry island
On the scented sea sands
With my lover morning
And they will never know and
How you came to me and
Kissed me passionately and
Said don't let it show and
And they will never know and
We are getting stronger
And we want the world to know
We are getting bolder
And we've got to let it show
And they must never know and
How I love you so and
How we rendezvous and
Do what no-one else can
How you take my free hand and
Say it will forever stand
But we must take it slow and
And they will never know and
We are gettting stronger
And we want the world to know
We are getting freer
And we've got let it show
When you were a sister
Of loneliness in Sivaville
No Goobers no Raisinettes
No Miracles no Marvelettes
When I was a solo boy
I breathed into the atmosphere
My yearning for a woman
Now I collapse into your smile
Om Nameh Sivayeh Om my darling!
On a starry island
On the scented sea sands
With my lover morning
And they will never know and
How you came to me and
Kissed me passionately and
Said don let it show and
And they will never know and

terence trent d arby - as yet untitled
Out by a shanty where the dust hangs high
Far from a river where things grow green
The flowers weep and they lean away
From the blood stained soil beneath my feet
The thorns outnumber the petals on the rose
And the darkness amplifies the sound of printers' ink
On propaganda page
That will rule your life and fuel my rage
I tried to bend my knees
But my knees were already bent
I haven't stood like a man for such a long time now
I called to my god but he was sleeping on that day
I guess I'll just have to depend on me
Shall I tell my children if they ask of me
Did I surrender forth my right to be?
Y'see my daddy died to leave this haunting ground
And this same ground still haunts me
The cool September blows the seeds away
The harvest blown again this year
But I'll return a stronger man
I'll return to me my homeland
No grave shall hold my body down
This land is still my home
I said:
But I'll return a stronger man
I'll return to me my homeland
No grave shall hold my body down
This land is still my home
This land is still my home

terence trent d arby - baby let me share my love
Baby let me share my love
Baby let me share my love
Baby let me share my love
Baby let me share my love
My best lines
Working on her, working on her overtime
Working on her, working on her clever mind
Working on her, working on her sleek lines
She's sure fine
As fine as Whitney Houston in the daytime
Working on her, working on her big time
Looking at her, looking at her waistline
Baby let me share my love
Baby let me share my love
Baby let me share my love
Baby let me share my love
My last dime
Working on her, working on her phone line
Working on her, working with the best wine
Working on her, trying to help her unwind

As fine as Cleopatra in her black prime
I think about her so much people, I'm a go blind
Working on her, looking at her waistline
Baby let me share my love
Baby let me share my love
Baby let me share my love
Baby let me share my love
Jesus/Allah/Krishna/Buddha loves you
So not this time but next time
I'll be kicking out a poet's rhyme
Picking on her, picking on her grapevine
Working on her, looking at her waistline
She's real fine
As fine as Nefertitti in her black prime
Working on her, working on her bed time
Working on her, working on her
Working on her, working on her
Baby let me share my love
terence trent d arby - be willing
Be willing to achieve what suits your heart
Be willing to begin leaving your mark
Dig out your buried treasure
Your work of art
And nothing will ever stand between
Heaven and your heart
Be willing to attain your freedom from
Hatred and bitterness then carry on
A masterpiece of promise is what you are
And never let nothing stand between
Heaven and your heart
Be willing to forgive an oversight!
Be willing to explore what doesn't bite
Fearlessness is a fountain
That redecorates the dark
And nothing will ever stand between
Heaven and your heart

terence trent d arby - billy don 039 t fall
Billy was a young boy
Who's fate did decree
That he would like only other boys
So being with a boy came to him naturally
Billy was a green boy
His thoughts so naive
He wondered why he was so victimised
And his fear brought him close to me suddenly
But
Billy my friend
Don't fall in love with me
I'm not that kind of guy
But I'll stand by your side
If you need me to be
But
Billy my friend
Don't fall in love with me
Though it can't be wrong to be
To be what you are
Billy was a sick boy
His life fading to grey
He tried to grab for straws of family
But his loved ones turned young Billy away
Billy died a young man
His face to the wind
And of the things I regret the most
Was seeing how hate and fear killed a friend
But
Billy my friend
Don't fall in love with me
I'm not that kind of guy
But I'll stand by your side
If you need me to be
But
Billy my friend
Don't fall in love with me
Though it can't be wrong to be
terence trent d arby - castilian blue
She was a paragon of soft scented chinois curls
She stood with nothing on
As we watched my flag unfurl
We fell in love so fast
That it spun my head around
Her coffee tawny skin
Sent my blood pressure up and down
Castilian blue
Castilian blue
I never ever thought
I'd be so taken by a girl like you
Lavender scented pillows
Gave a smell to her room
That when I smell it now
Sends my heart into a sad mood
Black men and her commitments
She had a problem with
And the mention of her father
Would cause her to get very miffed at me
Castilian blue
Castilian blue
I never ever thought
I'd be so taken by a girl like you
Bon bons and fishnet stockings
Used to settle any score
Till one day I felt the breeze awake me
Coming in through an open door
Recurring dreams
I see her in Mirabella Magazine
Multi-coloured babies
Running round behind her knee
She's long, long, gone
Castilian blue
Castilian blue
I never ever thought
terence trent d arby - cross my heart
Stop the world, I want to get off
Baby's gone through a change
She said she was born again
Baby's acting strange
Now, I can eat
Then hold her tight
Vision did decree
We can't make love anymore
Until you marry me
Stay from that preacher man
Stay close to me
Where you going man?
Sorry, God, but she belongs to me...
He made you save your soul
But I can beg you to hold onto lust
I might have to cry
If you don't
You say you
Still want my love
But not the physical kind
If you think I'll hang around
You're out of your mind
If you want all of my love
Leave your babble at home
This is what you do, girl...
Raise your skirt up off your knees
Allow my hands to roam
Stay from that preacher man
Stay close to me
Where you going man?
Sorry, God, but she belongs to me...
He made you save your soul
But I can beg you to hold onto lust
I might have to cry
If you don't
Share your love with me...

Get up 'outta' your rockin' chair grandma!
Or rather would you care to dance grandmother?
Hey you! Give up to the ghost
That's haunting you now
Shout it out

Would you just watch the clock
And let it tick for you

Dance little sister
Don't give up today

terence trent d arby - do you love me like you say
Now do you love me like you say you do baby?
(Do you love me like you say you do?)
Listen baby, until I find the river
I won't be satisfied with who I am
In my Monasteryo your love ran hot or cold
Symphony or damn
I wanna be careful not to lose by laughter
What I've gained by tears
So here's a question baby
You answer I most need to hear
Now do you love me like you say you do baby?
(Do you love me like you say you do?)
I give my best to the best of your breed
Take my heart pretty baby
I believe that I have all that I need
I exist for you wholly in this hour
As the leaves exist
Surely for the sake of the flower
Now do you love me like you say you do baby?
(Do you love me like you say you do?)
It seems that you have all these emotional dragons
That you must slay
I believe your daddy didn't treat you right
So it seems now TTD must pay
The troubles advance while the sorrows retreat
Yet whichever road you travel baby
I genuinely wish you godspeed
But before you go answer my question
Now do you love me like you say you do baby?
(Do you love me like you say you do?)
