Survive Lyrics

Oh my, naked eyes
I should have kept you
I should have tried
I should have been a wiser kind of guy
I miss you

Give me wings
Give me space
Give me money for a change of face
Those noisy rooms
And passion parts
I miss you

Where's the morning in my life
Where's the sense in staying right
Who said time is on my side
I've got ears and eyes and nothing in my life
but I'll survive your naked eyes
I'll survive

You alone across a floor
You and me and nothing more
You're the great mistake I never made
I never lied to you I hated when you lied
And I'll survive your naked eyes
I'll survive

It sounds very much like a lost love...maybe his first wife? I don't know...just sort of cursory guesses.

@forthelove Hermione Farthingale.

@forthelove I think he wrote this song about Hermione Farthingale

@forthelove I agree with you. I thing it’s about Angie and the terrible divorce and his unresolved feelings about that period in his life.

This page is missing about half of the lyrics:

Oh, my Naked eyes I should have kept you I should have tried I should have been a wiser kind of guy I miss you

Give me wings Give me space Give me money for a change of face Those noisy rooms and passion pants I loved you

Where's the morning in my life? Where's the sense in staying right? Who said 'time is on my side'? I've got ears and eyes and nothing in my life But I'll survive your naked eyes I'll survive

You alone across the floor You and me and nothing more You're the great mistake I never made I never lied to you, I hated when you lied But I'll survive your naked eyes I'll survive

Beatle boys, all snowy white Razzle dazzle clubs, every night Wish I'd sent a Valentine I love you

I'll survive Naked eyes I'll survive I'll survive My naked eyes I'll survive I'll survive Naked eyes I'll survive I'll survive I'll survive
