THE
UBIQUITOUS MR LOVEGROVE by Dead Can Dance
I thought that you knew it all
Well you’ve seen it ten times
before.
I thought that you had it down
With both your feet on the ground.
I love slow...slow but
deep.
Feigned affections wash over me.
Dream on my dear
And renounce temporal obligations.
Dream on my
dear
It’s a sleep from which you may not awaken.
You build me up then you knock me down.
You play the
fool while I play the clown.
We keep time to the beat of an old slave drum.
You raise my hopes then you raise
the odds
You tell me that I dream too much
Now I’m serving time in disillusionment.
I don’t believe you
anymore...i don’t believe you.
I thought that I knew it all
I’d seen all the signs before.
I thought
that you were the one
In darkness my heart was won.
You build me up then you knock me down.
You play
the fool while I play the clown.
We keep time to the beat of an old slave drum.
You raise my hopes then you
raise the odds
You tell me that I dream too much
Now I’m serving time in a domestic graveyard.
I don’t
believe you anymore...i don’t believe you.
Never let it be said I was untrue
I never found a home inside
of you.
Never let it be said I was untrue
I gave you all my time.

I AM STRETCHED ON YOUR GRAVE by Dead Can Dance
I am stretched on your
grave
And will lie there forever
With your hands held in mine
I’d be sure we’d not sever
My apple tree
my brightness
’tis time we were together
For I smell of the earth
And am stained by the weather
When
my family thinks
That I’m safe in my bed
From night until morning
I am stretched at your head
Calling
out to the air
With tears both hot and wild
Oh I grieve for the girl
That I loved as a child
The
priests and the friars
Behold me in dread
Because I still love you
My love and you’re dead
I would still
be your shelter
From rain and from storm
And with you in your cold grave
I cannot sleep warm
