Morizzle Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Ive been doing some gigs with a chick singer lately and can't help but wonder about some lyrics. I will post some examples when I have more time, but here's already one urgent question. You are native speakers, so explain to me: The song is "Blame It On My Youth". At the end of the A part, lyricist Edward Heyman composed "I believed in everything/ like a child of three". Huh? Wuddasitmean? Is it about modern relationship? Patch-work family? Gay marriage? Mini harems? In-vitro-fertilization? It's not a clone, it's a Suzuki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morizzle Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 He means that since he is young, he does not understand the complexities of love-speak. LOL That was easy. Now that you say it, it's quite obvious. Pretty darn obvious, actually. Thanks. Next question: is there any standard lyric more direct than this? The Island Make believe weve landed On a desert island. Bathe me in the waters, Warm me in the moonlight, Taste me with your kisses, Find my secret places, Touch me till I tremble, Free my wings for flying And catch me while Im falling. Keep your arms around me Like theres no tomorrow. Let me know you love me. On our little island Not a soul can see us. Show me how to love you. Teach me how to please you. Lay your dreams beside me. Only stars will listen To our cries and whispers. You were made to love me And I was made to love you. Keep your arms around me Lose yourself inside me. Make it last forever. I can see the island Shining in the distance. Now were getting closer. Keep your arms around me. Oh now were almost there. Ooooh. On our little island Not a soul can hear us. Silently exchanging Fantasies and feelings. Endlessly exploring Learning one another till the morning finds us. You were made to love me And I was made to love you. Keep your arms around me, Lose yourself completely, Make it last forever. I can see the island Shining there before us. Now were getting closer Just keep your arms around me. Come my love... Were there. It's not a clone, it's a Suzuki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
