Start! Lyrics

It's not important for you to know my name -
Nor I to know yours
If we communicate for two minutes only
It will be enough
For knowing that someone in this world
Feels as desperate as me -
And what you give is what you get.

It doesn't matter if we never meet again,
What we have said will always remain.
If we get through for two minutes only,
It will be a start!
For knowing that someone in this life,
Loves with a passion called hate
And what you give is what you get.

If I never ever see you -
If I never ever see you -
If I never ever see you - again.

And what you give is what you get!

I always thought it was about working up the courage to ask a girl out...but that may have been because I was 16 first time I heard it!

I always thought it was about how the author is simply trying to get to know the people in the world, and see if he can relate to any of them.

I heard this was actually meant to be about the Spanish Civil War, and reading the lyrics, that does make sense; 'It's not important for you to know my name - Nor I to know yours If we communicate for two minutes only It will be enough For knowing that someone in this world Feels as desperate as me' Kind of sounds like guerrillas exchanging information.

Hmmm...seems like the author is saying to a girl - well we just met and it's ok not to rush things...but it's a start. Great song. Anyone who listens will know that they lifted the bass line straight from The Beatles song, Taxman.

Apparently it's about the lack of human contact in the world. Which is funny because I look at all the texting cell phone obbsession people got so it's intresting seeing people talking about almost 30 years ago.

I always thought this was about having a one night stand, purely a sexual thing.

Nah, look at these lines: It doesn't matter if we never meet again, What we have said will always remain. If we get through for two minutes only, It will be a start!

Otherwise he would have stated: What we have done will always remain.

I just discovered the real meaning, at first I was thinking the same thing as you.
