Killer

Seal

Brother (brother)
Sister (sister)

It's the loneliness that's the killer

So you want
To be free
To live your life
The way you want to be
Will you give
If we cry?
Will we live
Or will we, die? Oh

Jaded hearts heal with time
Shoot that love
So we can stop the bleeding, oh

Solitary brother (brother)
Is there still a part of you that wants to live?
Solitary sister (sister)
Is there still a part of you that wants to give?
Solitary brother (brother)
Is there still a part of you that wants to live?
Solitary sister (sister)
Is there still a part of you that wants to give?

If we try
To live our lives
The way we wanna be, yeah

Oh, love love
Oh, love love

Brother (brother)
Sister (sister)
Brother (brother)

There's no other love (there's no other love, there's no other love)
There is no other love, no other love like ours
There's no other love (there's no other love, there's no other love)
There is no other love, no other love like ours
There's no other love (there's no other love, there's no other love)
There's no other love (there's no other love, there's no other love)
(There is no love)

Solitary brother (brother)
Is there still a part of you that wants to live?
Solitary sister (sister)
Is there still a part of you that wants to give?
Solitary brother (brother)

Solitary sister (sister)
Is there still a part of you that wants to give?

Racism in among future kings can only lead to no good
And besides
All our sons and daughters already know how that feels
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Made of love

    Yeah, aids came to mind when I heard it, at the time it hit the charts in '91, but later I could say it's also about feeling trapped in a world where everything's for sale, how hard it can be to find the peple you really wanna rely on. He's never been a man to put out easy lyrics (what _is_ the opening track "The Beginning" about? Can't say I have a clure but it's a terrific opener) - some of the songs on his first album were about standing up for the idea that love matters much more than money. This one does take that stand on some level, doesn't it?

    AIDS never even crossed my mind; crazy, huh? I think it's about people with broken hearts (jaded hearts) and how they hold on to love too long, or can't get into another love

    My favorite song ever, but prefer the original Adamski with seal. Clever almost miltary drumbeat.

    Nothing about AIDS specifically! The song is pretty straightforward, and is about the damage that all prejudice has

    AIDS hadn't crossed my mind either, interesting though. I thought it was about the damage unrequited love & racism can do. Its like he's trying to send a message... a warning if you will. Man... Seal was light years ahead of anybody else.
