The Pan Within by The Waterboys

Lyrics | Waterboys lyrics - The Pan Within lyrics

"The Pan Within"
by The Waterboys
(from the album This Is the Sea, 1985)
lyrics: Mike Scott
music: The Waterboys

Come with me
On a journey beneath the skin
Come with me
On a journey under the skin
We will look together
For the pan within

Close your eyes
Breathe slow we'll begin
Close your eyes
Breathe slow and we will begin
To look together
For the pan within

Swing your hips
Lose your head, and let it spin
Swing your hips
Lose you head, and let it spin
And we will look together
For the pan within

Close your eyes
Breathe slow and we will begin
Close your eyes
Breathe slow and we will begin
To look together
for the pan within

Put your face in my window

Breathe a night full of treasures
The wind is delicious
Sweet and wild with a promise of pleasure
The stars are alive
On nights like these
We're born to be
Sanctified by you and me
Lovers, thieves, fools, and pretenders

And all we gotta do
All we goota do
All we gotta do

A-a-ah,
All we gotta do
All we gotta do

All we gotta do is surrender
Surrender, surrender

All we gotta do is surrender
Surrender, surrender

Come with me
On a journey under the skin
Come with me
On a journey under the skin
And we will look together
for the Pan within

We will look together
for the pan within

Vanilla Float

by The Half Gifts
(2009)

INTRO

Stanza 1
Those were my youthful days
When friends were still there to stay
We used to wish beneath a constellation
And dream of gaining the privilege of being iconic
I remember when we laughed and cried
While waiting for a comet to graze the sky

Refrain 1
Oh...oh...oh
I'm feeling all your pain

Chorus 1
If only my friends are still here
To play along with my songs
Nonsensical these may be
We could have not died

Instrumental 1 ("Flight")

Stanza 2
It was a within my heart
Dying to dwell back on my jaded past
But now here I lie and cry
Waiting for a chance to say goodbye

Refrain 2
Oh...oh...oh
I'm feeling all your pain

Chorus 2
If only my friends are still here
To play along with my songs
Senseless these may be
My spirit could have soared once again
Again and again and again...

Instrumental 2 (Stanza & Chorus chords "Float")
Instrumental 3 ("Spanish flamenco")

Chorus 3
If only my friends are still here
To play along with my songs
Selfish we had been in the past
I wish I can bring back yesterday

Refrain 3
Oh...oh...oh...
I`m feeling all your pain

Just like Heaven

by The Cure
(Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me, 1987)

Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream, she said
The one that makes me laugh, she said
And threw her arms around my neck
Show me how you do it
And I promise you I promise that
I’ll run away with you
I’ll run away with you

Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face and kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make her glow
Why are you so far away?, she said
Why won’t you ever know that I’m in love with you
That I’m in love with you

You, soft and only
You, lost and lonely
You, strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You’re just like a dream
Just like a dream

Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone, alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me

You, soft and only
You, lost and lonely
You, just like heaven

Kiss Me Now

by Fruits of Passion


Just say the word
And I’ll dance again
I’ll be in all your dreams
Show you what love means

I’ll be everything
You’re by my side
Keeping me warm and satisfied

Don’t stop
Keep me in your arms
Babe, don’t stop moving
Give me every chance

Just say the word
’Coz I’m always there
Thinking about the love we could share

CHORUS
Oh, kiss me now
Tell me that you love
And show me how

Oh, kiss me now
You need somebody
We need each other now

Do you see what I see
Do you think too much
When you’re watching me
Just say the word

’Coz I’m always there
Thinking about the love we could share

CHORUS
Oh, kiss me now
Tell me that you love
And show me how

Oh, kiss me now
You need somebody
We need each other now

BRIDGE
Oh, I know that it’s easy
In a place like this
To mistake heaven for
Just one night to live
I know that it’s easy
To take a look at my face
We can be stronger
We can make a world out of space
Oh kiss me now

(guitar adlib)

REFRAIN
I’ve given you all your dreams
I’ve shown you what love means
I’ve given you everything
If you can make the same
I’ve given you all your dreams
I’ve shown you what love means

[break…]

You need somebody
We need each other now

CHORUS 2x
Oh, kiss me now
Tell me that you love
And show me how
Oh, kiss me now
You need somebody
We need each other now
