Something's gotten hold of my heart

[dream_labyrinth]

If you have read my journal for a while, you won't be surprised at the fact that I love lyrics.


Something's gotten hold of my heart
Keeping my soul and my senses apart
Something's gotten into my life
Cutting its way through my dreams like a knife
Turning me up, turning me down
Making me smile, making me frown

In a world that was war
I once lived in a time that was peace with no trouble at all
But then you came my way
And a feeling unknown shook my heart
And made me want you to stay
All of my nights and all of my days

Something's gotten hold of my hand
Dragging my soul to a beautiful land
Something has invaded my night
Painting my sleep with a colour so bright
Changing the grey, changing the blue
Scarlet for me, scarlet for you

I've got to know if this is the real thing
I've got to know what's making my heart sing
You smile and I am lost for a lifetime
Each minute spent with you is the right time
Every hour every day
You touch me and my mind goes astray
And baby yeah, and baby yeah

There are at least three versions on the internet. Marc Almond, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and a guy I've forgotten. I don't remember which of those is the one I have.

I simply love Marc Almond and this is a wonderful song! :)

It definitely is. Highly addicting. And on my list of "Songs that remind me of Labyrinth"

a guy I've forgotten

That'd probably be Gene Pitney, the bloke who wrote the song ;)
The Marc Almond version is a duet with Gene, BTW.

You are right, of course. Thanks. :-)
