Alive with the glory of love Lyrics

When I watch you, I wanna do you right where you're standing (yeah)
Right on the foyer, on this dark day, right in plain view (oh yeah)
Of the whole ghetto. The boots stomp meadows, but we ignore that (yeah)
You're lovely, baby. This war is crazy. I won't let you down (Oh no no)

No, I won't let them take you, won't let them take you
Hell no no, oh no, I won't let them take you, won't let them take you
Hell no no.

No, oh no no no!

And when our city, vast and shitty, falls to the axis (yeah)
They'll search the buildings, collect gold fillings, wallets and rings (oh yeah)
But Ms. Black Eyeliner, you'd look finer with each day in hiding (oh yeah)
Beneath the wormwood, oooh, love me so good.
They won't hear us screw away the day. I'll make you say:

(Alive! Alive!
Alive with love, alive with love tonight)

No, I won't let them take you, won't let them take you
Hell no no, oh no, I won't let them take you, won't let them take you
Hell no no.

Our Treblinka is alive with the glory of love!
Treblinka, alive, with the glory of love, yeah!

Should they catch us and dispatch us to those separate work camps,
I'll dream about you. I will not doubt you with the passing of time (oh yeah)
Should they kill me, your love will fill me, as warm as the bullets (yeah)
I'll know my purpose. This war was worth this. I won't let you down.
No, I won't
No, I won't
No, I won't

(Alive! Alive!)
(Alive with love, alive with love tonight)
Hell no no, oh no (Alive! Alive!)
I won't let them take you, won't let them take you (Alive with love, alive with love tonight)
Hell no, no
No, no

sex, love and concentration camps?

love or lust during the holocaust. i didnt even realise about the meaning until i heard it on scrubs and listened to it again and looked at the lyrics. treblinka was one of the worst death camps, and he also makes that reference to the ghetto (where the jews were kept). id like to think that hes saying that even in the darkest times love can come through, or something can give them some relief.

i think matterman is right. theres so many clues about them being jews in occupied germany and taken together with a few different say anything songs and their other references to the war which i think must have been max bemis' special intrest makes sense, especially lines like boot stomp meadows and collect gold fillings...think its fantastically written! very complex and deep and meaningful wihtout being too obviously written, fans of this song should like a walk through hell too its pretty similar and equally brilliant!
