This song is timeless, and nearly 20 years after its creation, still possesses the mystique it did the first time i heard it ~1994. To me, at first blush, all those years ago, it had some kind of homo-erotic allure. The line "so that the others may do" tells of something which must be done for others to follow suit. It felt like like some kind of roxy-glam-pop invitation to sexual liberation.
Upon further introspection I think the song may not have an intrinsic meaning, but simply represents a sort of "holding open the door" for people who otherwise might be affronted by this song/band's unusual style. I know, as a sort of armchair rock-historian, that there have been few bands so daring and so true to the sound that wanted to emerge from within, whether the creator wanted it or not. This band handled it with elegance and grace seldom, if ever, seen.
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
Let it be soon, don't hesitate, make love, don't wait.
Open your heart and let my love come in.
I want the moment to start when I can fill your heart
with more love and more joy than age or time could ever destroy.
Oh honey now, my love will be so sound,
gonna take about a hundred lifetimes to live it down,
wear it down, tear it down.
This is no fiction, this no act,
This is real, it's a fact.
I'll always belong only to you.
And each day I'll be living to
Make sure I'm giving you more love and more joy
than age or time could ever destroy.
Oh honey now, my love will be so sound,
gonna take about a hundred lifetimes to live it down,
wear it down, tear it down.
As we grow older, no need to fear,
'Cause when you need me I'll be here.
I'll be beside you every step of the way.
A heart that's truthful, and is keeping it youthful
With more love and more joy than age or time could ever destroy.
Oh honey now, my love will be so sound,
gonna take about a hundred lifetimes to live it down,
wear it down, tear it down.
Oh I'm gonna give you
more love and more joy than age or time could ever destroy.
Oh honey now, my love will be so sound,
gonna take about a hundred lifetimes to live it down,
wear it down, tear it down.
Oh I'm gonna give you
more love and more joy than age or time could ever destroy.
Oh honey now, my love will be so sound,
gonna take about a hundred lifetimes to live it down,
Let it be soon, don't hesitate, make love, don't wait.
Open your heart and let my love come in.
I want the moment to start when I can fill your heart
with more love and more joy than age or time could ever destroy.
Oh honey now, my love will be so sound,
gonna take about a hundred lifetimes to live it down,
wear it down, tear it down.
This is no fiction, this no act,
This is real, it's a fact.
I'll always belong only to you.
And each day I'll be living to
Make sure I'm giving you more love and more joy
than age or time could ever destroy.
Oh honey now, my love will be so sound,
gonna take about a hundred lifetimes to live it down,
wear it down, tear it down.
As we grow older, no need to fear,
'Cause when you need me I'll be here.
I'll be beside you every step of the way.
A heart that's truthful, and is keeping it youthful
With more love and more joy than age or time could ever destroy.
Oh honey now, my love will be so sound,
gonna take about a hundred lifetimes to live it down,
wear it down, tear it down.
Oh I'm gonna give you
more love and more joy than age or time could ever destroy.
Oh honey now, my love will be so sound,
gonna take about a hundred lifetimes to live it down,
wear it down, tear it down.
Oh I'm gonna give you
more love and more joy than age or time could ever destroy.
Oh honey now, my love will be so sound,
gonna take about a hundred lifetimes to live it down,
