This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
She's an emotion avenger
She is the villain who sends a
Line of dark fantastic passion
She knows that you will surrender
Knows that you will surrender
You want this fantastic passion
We'll have fantastic passion
You can feel her lips undress your eyes
Why should ugly skin that never feels
Never feel your fingers tingle tense anticipation on it
This was an easy one, feel the word and melt upon it
Words of love, words so leisured
Words are poisoned darts of pleasure
Die
Yes, she's in her black mood tonight
Watch her dye your black hair right
Love you of you, all muscles slacken
All the skin that was so tight
So ask for a reason
Ask for any reason
Ask for the one reply
For the one reply
Try for reason
But passion never lives
It dies with reason
Try for reason
Then die?
She is the villain who sends a
Line of dark fantastic passion
She knows that you will surrender
Knows that you will surrender
You want this fantastic passion
We'll have fantastic passion
You can feel her lips undress your eyes
Why should ugly skin that never feels
Never feel your fingers tingle tense anticipation on it
This was an easy one, feel the word and melt upon it
Words of love, words so leisured
Words are poisoned darts of pleasure
Die
Yes, she's in her black mood tonight
Watch her dye your black hair right
Love you of you, all muscles slacken
All the skin that was so tight
So ask for a reason
Ask for any reason
Ask for the one reply
For the one reply
Try for reason
But passion never lives
It dies with reason
Try for reason
Then die?

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Presumably the meaning of this song would be exactly the same as darts of pleasure
I think those lyrics whould be: "Try for a reason. But passion never lives - it dies - with reason."
i.e. Reason kills passion. I think this version is simply a sleazier, sexier version of the first one. This is the version to use to get a Franz fan into bed. :o)
Very nice sounds but "Yes, she's in her black mood tonight Watch her dye your black hair white Rob you of you muscle slacken All the skin that was so tight " didn't fit in .
this was the first franz song i ever heard... love at first... sound? i agree with m3gsi.
russetmantle - you are absolutely right. It would certainly get this franz fan into bed. :-D
Not at all a demo or acoustic version of "Darts of pleasure", but another song, much darker and sexier. I just don't understand (or maybe I DON'T WANT to understand) the meaning of these words: "You can feel her lips undress your eyes Wash that ugly skin and never feel good Never feel your fingers tingle tense anticipation on it". ...?
The posted lyrics are incorrect... here's the correct lyrics:
She's an emotion avenger she is the villain who sends a Line of dark fantastic passion She knows that you will surrender Knows that you will surrender
you want this fantastic passion we’ll have fantastic passion You can feel her lips undress your eyes Why should ugly skin that never feels...
Never feel your fingers tingle tense anticipation on it this one is an easy one, feel the word and melt upon it Words of love, words so leisured Words are poisoned darts of pleasure die...
Yes, she's in her black mood tonight Watch her dye your black hair white Rob you of your muscles, slacken all the skin that was so tight
So ask for a reason Ask for any reason Ask for the one reply for the one reply
Try for reason but passion never lives it dies with reason Try for reason then die…
It presents an interisting contrast if you listen to it back to back with "Darts of Pleasure"
Personally I kinda think that the end result of this song leads to the circumstances of Darts of Pleasure... here the woman seduces and breaks the guys heart, there he has become the seducer and does the same thing.
anyone with this song could send it to me? rey.mtz at gmail
die
I agree with captainPenguin about the lyrics.
