Jim Adams, aka Newepicauthor, the creator of A Unique Title For Me, is hosting SONG-LYRIC-SUNDAY and this week he has chosen the theme MOM/MOTHER/FLOWERS.
I have chosen a song that I have had stuck in my head all week!!! It was played on the radio at work. I had not heard it for ages. Now I have driven myself nuts singing it over and over!. But you know, I think it’s quite a good track really.
I am not sure what exactly it is about…but you know, I still quite like some of the lyrics even if I don’t have a clear idea of a story in them. There are a lot of songs out there with lyrics that don’t make complete sense. In all fairness, this song is a mighty fine bit of pop music. And I don’t know a lot about the band Aztec Camera, but from what I can tell, Roddy Frame was the main man behind the band. Don’t quote me on that!
It is not particularly floral…but it mentions flowers twice – which makes it my choice for Jim’s theme this week.
Summer in the city where the air is still
A baby being born to the overkill
Well who cares what people say
We walk down love’s motorway
Ambition and love wearing boxing gloves
And singing hearts and flowers
But somewhere in my heart
There is a star that shines for you
Silver splits the blue
Love will see it through
And somewhere in my heart
There is the will to set you free
All you’ve got to be
Is true
A star above the city in the northern chill
A baby being born to the overkill
No say, no place to go
A TV, a radio
Ambition and love wearing boxing gloves
And singing hearts and flowers
But somewhere in my heart
There is a star that shines for you
Silver splits the blue
Love will see it through
And somewhere in my heart
There is the will to set you free
All you’ve got to be
Is true
Who could heal
What’s never been as one
And our hearts have been torn
Since the day we were born
Just like anyone
From Westwood to Hollywood
The one thing that’s understood
Is that you can’t buy time
But you can sell your soul
And the closest thing to heaven is to rock and roll
But somewhere in my heart
There is a star that shines for you
Silver splits the blue
Love will see it through
And somewhere in my heart
There is the will to set you free
All you’ve got to be
Is true
Somewhere in my heart
There is a star that shines for you
Silver splits the blue
Love will see it through
And somewhere in my heart
There is the will to set you free
All you’ve got to be
Is true
