In the Flesh Lyrics
Darling, darling, darling, I can't wait to see you
Your picture ain't enough
I can't wait to touch you, in the flesh
Darling, darling, darling, I can't wait to hear you
Remembering your love, is nothing without you in the flesh
Went walking one day on the lower east side
Met you with a girlfriend
You were so divine
She said; "Hands off this one sweetie, this boy is mine"
I couldn't resist you
I'm not deaf dumb and blind
Darling, darling, darling, now you're out of town
Those girls that you run with, they bring my head down
Darling, darling, darling, watch out if I see you
'Cause if you say hello
It'll mean you wanna see me in the flesh
Ooh warm and soft in the flesh
Ooh close and hot in the flesh
Your picture ain't enough
I can't wait to touch you, in the flesh
Darling, darling, darling, I can't wait to hear you
Remembering your love, is nothing without you in the flesh
Went walking one day on the lower east side
Met you with a girlfriend
You were so divine
She said; "Hands off this one sweetie, this boy is mine"
I couldn't resist you
I'm not deaf dumb and blind
Darling, darling, darling, now you're out of town
Those girls that you run with, they bring my head down
Darling, darling, darling, watch out if I see you
'Cause if you say hello
It'll mean you wanna see me in the flesh
Ooh warm and soft in the flesh
Ooh close and hot in the flesh
an old flame she wants to see again, and possibly rekindle her romance with. but he's met other girls, and has possibly forgotten about her. captures longing, yearning & sadness beautifully.
But Blondie on the map, and for good reason.
Hmmm...if Mr. Bungle were to do this one, it would be a creepy stalker ballad I'm sure.
When Debbioe sings the lines
Ooh warm and soft in the flesh Ooh close and hot in the flesh
I get the idea that this is more than just about wanting to see someone. It's about sex, and 'in the flesh' is in that a way a witty pun. It also makes me think that these lines are about how masturbation (picture) is less fun than seeing your love... in the flesh.
Your picture ain't enough I can't wait to touch you, in the flesh
