...you realise that dinky pocket-sized purveyor of passion-making Terence Trent D'Arby [now known as Sananda Maitreya] is 60 years old today...
Fortunately you have someone who relies on you
We started out as friends but the thought of you just caves me in
The symptoms run so deep, it's much too late to turn away
We started out as friends
Oh, sign your name across my heart
I want you to be my baby
Sign your name across my heart
I want you to be my lady
All alone with you makes the butterflies in me arise
Slowly we make love and the earth rotates to our dictates
Slowly we make love
Oh, sign your name across my heart
I want you to be my baby
Sign your name across my heart
I want you to be my lady
Birds never look into the sun before the day is gone
But the light shines brighter on a peaceful day
Stranger blue, leave us alone, we don't wanna deal with you
We'll shed our stains showering in the room that makes the rain
Oh, I need you to sign your name across my heart
I want you to be my baby
Sign your name across my heart
I want you to be my lady…
"Lady"? Really..?!
I remember that song, and maybe a few others, but I had no idea he'd changed his name, and even less that he was still recording, sugar! xoxo
ReplyDeleteDuring the "Yuppie" era of the 1980s, just about everyone had to have a copy of his LP Introducing The Hardline [as well as Sade's Diamond Life and Dire Straits Brothers in Arms] in their collection - as a sign of being "sophisticated", as much as the fact it was supposedly "good music for shagging to". Jx
DeleteHoly shit.
ReplyDeleteSixty? I just got his LP like two months ago in a thrift store in Edgewater. Whoa.
XOXO
