All Around Me Lyrics
Well you know every time
I look at that expression printed on the page
I think I hear you
Whispering the magic and the compliments I need so badly
So baby come on, oh, so baby come on
Now I've been running circles around the notion
That you'll find me baby
One day maybe
But all the psychic powers of suggestion
I've been sending your way
So can't you hear me say?
I want your arms all around me
I want your face, yeah, all around me
I want your perfume all around me
I like the way you move and do the funky groove
All around me I want you, all around me I need you
I want your arms all around me
I want your face, yeah, all around me
I want your perfume all around me
I like the way you move and do the funky groove
Like a cold chardonnay chilled for a day
Your smooth and crisp and on display
Like Cartier, Armani, like TAG, Gucci, Versace
In the middle of the night your a kiss so long
You're the only good thing when all is wrong
You're a magic time reversal clock
You're the fries on the side with a cherry on top
You're sleek, velvet, gold lame
Patent leather, enchante
You're a legend, you're a glamour queen
God I'm running out of words but you know what I mean
All around me I want you, all around me I need you
All around me I want you, all around me, so can't you hear me say?
I want your arms all around me
I want your face, yeah, all around me
I want your perfume all around me
I like the way you move and do the funky groove
I want your arms all around me
I want your face, yeah, all around me
I want your perfume all around me
I like the way you move and do the funky groove
So slide into your Jaguar, or Porsche baby, there you are
Well chop chop darling, au revoir
Pick your things up, your a star
Oh yes, yes you are darling
Thats right. Thats right now.

I'm guessing not many have heard this song, but I'll mention one thing: this is based on Daniel (the non vocalist of Savage Garden) and his obsession on Meg Ryan.
Is it really? I didn't know that. How funny
That's hilarious!
i luv this song hahahahahaha spesh darren's luvly impressions!
This song is awesome...a little meaningless but still funny, and you should really listen to Darren at the end of this song :p
I saw Savage Garden in 1998 during their To the Moon and Back tour and Darren introduced this song as being in reference to Daniel's wishful love affair with Meg Ryan. While I'm positive the song started out that way, I also have a sneaking suspicion that Darren added his own two cents in there toward the end. In the beginning, the song is about the passion and desire to be loved and held by someone in particular, but toward the end it sort veers off into the direction of Darren mocking stardom in itself. The last few lines of the song seem like Darren is blatantly poking fun at being a rock star and how he's being treated like royalty. It's kind of like he's rolling his eyes at the glamourous lifestyle that's being served up on a silver platter. It seems to be all in good fun, of course. It's refreshing though, to see a rock star mocking royalty so openly. I love how Darren must add his personal touch to everything. Fabulous. :)
i f*kin love this song i reckons this song and tears of pearl are the best 2 songs savage grarden made!!!!!!
Very good review eirenightshade!. Lucky you got to see them so early back then!.
It sounds like a guy who flatters you and tells you how great you are and how much he cares about you only because he wants to have sex with you. Then, after you do, he doesn't need to pretend he likes you anymore so he'll just say 'au revoir'.
eirenightshade - Please, not rock start, POP STAR ;-)
