Only time will tell if you can break the spell



Time goes by so quickly...

Here's a scary timeslip moment - is it really twenty years since Shakespear's Sister were at Number 1 with the chillingly sublime Stay?!

Heavens.


One of the campest pop videos, ever!

If this world is wearing thin
And you're thinking of escape
I'll go anywhere with you

Just wrap me up in chains
But if you try to go alone
Don't think i'll understand

Stay with me
Stay with me

In the silence of your room
In the darkness of your dreams
You must only think of me

There can be no in between
When your pride is on the floor
I'll make you beg for more

Stay with me
Stay with me

You'd better hope and pray
That you make it safe
Back to your own world

You'd better hope and pray
That you'll wake one day
In your own world

'cause when you sleep at night
They don't hear your cries
In your own world

Only time will tell
If you can break the spell
Back in your own world

Stay with me
Stay with me

Stay stay with me
Stay stay stay stay stay
Stay with me

  1. Actually, it seems like it should be longer ago! But then, I'm always living in the past.

  3. Um-hmm! Later this year we will celebrate the 20 year anniversary of a certain SEX book by a certain diva who has been known to upset a lot of people... My god, how old AM I????

    I adore this song, such a triumph it became this huge #1! And I love the video too, despite the French And Saunders version ruining it for forever ;)

    1. I wondered how long it would take before French and Sauncers cropped up - genius!

      PS It's not the age, it's the mileage...
