The air tastes just like you, it's the smell of June
A sensory shock that jolts my spirit, I slowly swallow you
A spray of little droplets, a fragrance so refined
The spirit of nostalgia is passing me by

Opium and Poison, Jasmine and Rose
Dream of Ambrosia, all flavours glow, It's sensual,It's sensual, sensual

It all began so easy, with you on the floor
Against your willing flanks and knocking down your door
Until the day it crumbled, no game of win and lose
You told me nothing, you left me confused

Expelled like poison, a trim of the dose,
A limb disposed of, in a whim she chose,so rigorous,she's vigorous
She's vigorous,

Heart of the hardest world, it's just the thought of you
All those variations, the air is full of you
The smell of summer rain, once more the scent of June
This sweet concentration ,brings me back to you
Opium and Poison
My taste of June, my taste of you
Inhale, inhale your trail
Opium and Poison, Jasmine and Rose, dream of escape with me, all flavours go,
It's sensual, it's sensual, it's sensual

What was ours will drift away, a simple breeze on a humid day

Oh, nothing lasts, nothing lasts, forever

    Love song...but I'm not sure if it's a person he's referring to or something else. Excellent song...it always reminded me of the Sisters Of Mercy. It was a big 'goth' club hit back in the late 90s. I'm surprised that there aren't at least a few comments here.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
