Midnight In A Perfect World Lyrics

T'is fat...

Insight, foresight, moresight,
The clock on the wall reads a quarter past midnight

Ahhhoohh
Ahhhoohh

By darker falls
You came into the garden of mine, ahh...
Life came seeking for love, for love

Midnight, midnight, midnight, midnight
<i>(repeat)</i>

now a... n-now a... now, now, n-n-n-n....
aah-ooh.
12 o'clock
aah-ooh.
rock rock, rock, rock the midnight rush.
aah-ooh.
aah-ohh.

now n-now, n-n-n-n-now

Midnight, midnight, midnight, midnight
<i>(repeat)</i>

By darker falls
<i>The midnight rush</i>
You came into the garden of mine, ahh...
Life came seeking for love, for love
Ooh Oo-oooooh.
Oooohh.

Now now now now now approach now approaching now approach now approaching
now now now now now now now now approaching midni- now now now now now now approaching mid
now now now now approaching midni- now now approaching now now now now approaching midnight

What the heck's up with these lyrics, that's not right at all. o_O

The main singer is

"I don't believe you came into the garden of my heart planted seeds of love..."

It's a lot clearer if you check out the original sample.

Lyric Correction

About overcoming the doomsday clock/about the doomsday that will come but for now its seems we are over the cold war and are at 12.15 am so are quite a bit away from self destruction. Towards the end its back to the sample with ticking and "now approaching midnight" so maybe a hint we are looping back again as always. It came out in 96 and shadow had to have been influenced by the cold war and its ending/smoothing.

Either way its amazing how with so little voice samples he says so much - expresses so much.

has anyone heard the version thats about six minutes into live in oxford track on the duluxe edition of entroducing? is really cool.. just like the original but with more mixing and sample music... should check it out, the whole album is really awsome.

this song is about doomsday, ofcourse. midnight being 12 o clock on the "doomsday clock", aka the end of the world.

Agree.

But at the start one of the voice samples says "the clock reads a quater past midnight" ie we overcame the doomsday clock at least the coldwar one, either way shadow says so much with so little voice samples.

Amazing.
