Such a Lovely Thing Lyrics
It’s an elusive thing
This love of which you sing
What are we doing
What are we doing?
I will give you anything
Just please don’t stop singing
The world will stop spinning round
You’re such a lovely thing
But there is ice forming
Upon your pretty wings
What are you protecting?
I’ll give you everything
And you could wear this ring
But you only love me
You only love me when I’m leaving
You only love me cause I’m leaving
You only love me when I’m leaving
You only love me cause I’m leaving here tonight
You’re such a lovely thing
But there is ice forming
Upon your pretty wings
Why are you lying?
I will give you anything
Just please don’t stop singing
The world will stop spinning round
It’s an elusive thing
This love of which you sing
What are we doing
What are we doing here?
And I will give you anything
And you could wear my ring
But you only love me
You only love me when I’m leaving
You only love me cause I’m leaving you
You only love me cause I’m leaving
You only love me when I’m leaving here with you
This love of which you sing
What are we doing
What are we doing?
I will give you anything
Just please don’t stop singing
The world will stop spinning round
But there is ice forming
Upon your pretty wings
What are you protecting?
I’ll give you everything
And you could wear this ring
But you only love me
You only love me when I’m leaving
You only love me cause I’m leaving
You only love me when I’m leaving
You only love me cause I’m leaving here tonight
But there is ice forming
Upon your pretty wings
Why are you lying?
I will give you anything
Just please don’t stop singing
The world will stop spinning round
This love of which you sing
What are we doing
What are we doing here?
And I will give you anything
And you could wear my ring
But you only love me
You only love me when I’m leaving
You only love me cause I’m leaving you
You only love me cause I’m leaving
You only love me when I’m leaving here with you

I guess she's frigid and cold and he's in love with her, but she only sings about it.
With deVotchKa, more is said with the instruments than the words.
The protagonist in this song questions the validity of her lover's song because she only expresses her sentiments at times when it is most appropriate. However, she is too care-free and recluse with his heart as he demands more from her yet she continually is loose with his love. She may in fact love her.
Bottom Line: He needs to dump the bitch because she ain't giving him what he needs.
She doesn't love him.... But he loves her
She doesn't love him.... But he loves her
To me the song is about a guy who loves a psycho. Every time he tries to commit, she pushes him away; but once they break up, she decides she loves him after all. But after they get back together, she grows cold and pushes him away again. He loves her deeply, but he can only have her when they're not together. So it's driving him mad, which is why the music sounds so crazy.
The song says FUCK OFF. You can only "love" from a distance. Sex is for you...sex and nothing but sex. You just had to follow in the footsteps laid out for you; that's how free you are. Again, I'll wave up to you in another 10 or so years. I hope the music (and running between characters created) floats your old boat. Again, the song says FUCK OFF. I've become you in the happiness department. And I'm sick of it and of your excuses; promises broken; and lies.
Rawr! Settle down killer.

And, NO, you could not do better. You haven't a clue about what and who you lost. Not a clue!

Shuddup. No one has lost anybody. We just like to push each other away sometimes. Good times.

You really are clueless. And see how much you'd enjoy those good times if I had one boyfriend after another. You'll see in time...

How's that song go? 'You'll be wrapped around my finger...' Good tune.

LOL. You're good, but not that good. I'm quite sure when I'm working 50 hours the first few months I'll meet plenty of nice men. Such a shame that I'll have absolutely NO reason (no man at home) to keep me from dating them:)

Allow me to apologize for the very cruel/mean prostitution comments; it's not easy containing the anger, but that's not an excuse. I'm sorry.

Oh, don't worry; I plan to if there is no man in my REAL life...in the flesh on my porch; in my bed; on the dance floor; at the restaurants; on the beach at night; at music concerts; etc.

No reason to be angry with me. We all have choices and consequences.

As you should. Good for you! :)

And you've lied for years about what you were going to do. And you'll have the nerve to blame me for the choice I make very soon. Do you ever own YOUR choices and their conseqences?

Fuck yeah I do. Do YOU? hmmm.

I made one bad choice years ago and have paid for it dearly...more than any friend ever should have to, but I let it go. It's you who can't forgive yourself. And it's you who don't feel good enough for ME. Imagine that. Me? It's almost comical.If I hadn't wasted so much time and energy on NOTHING it would be.

Apparently I am clueless. Forgive myself for what? Um. I thought we were past all the 'good enough' shit?
