Transports Of Delight

Autonomy 02:34
All my thoughts belong to me My body feels so clean to me I know again how it feels to be Sensitive, sexually free I am not stolen, not anywhere The scent is sweet, I breathe clean air I see every colour, I feel every breeze My body is stronger I run with ease When I'm untouched, my dreams are much stronger Richer fruits lasting for longer My secrets are stories deep to unfold I am animal, human, bold, delicate once again I reclaim my flower, abstinence excites me I have a purer power, oh how I want the people I do They feel so open, so new, so new The spirit of faith knows me well It watched me sail so close to hell Now they and I have bought me to be Safe again, in Autonomy

Water, water, water, water Now even water speaks Anger, anger, seems so indiscreet Seems so far away You'd have to be far behind Not to see the good things On my mind, I've found me, my love Life is easy, nothing confuses me I can see this working out just fine My world is keener, so less meaner All new, the past is lost in time You'd have to be far behind Not to see the good things On my mind, I've found me, my love And I won't stumble, and I won't fall Outside of here, there's nothing at all I've found me, my love, and I'm free When there's so much love around I'm so up I can't come down I'm free, Oh, I'm free

Let Go 05:19
I'm not sure how far we can go I know you like me, yes I know But I'm still searching for something I know you tried to give me everything Please let my wandering heart go Still seems so much I have to know I'm not sure if you will be enough for me Even though you make beautifully I don't think that I could bear the strain Of lying to myself again Please let my wandering heart go Still seems so much I have to know What's the difference with money You ask why I search for that thing Do you think my answer is funny I want to know what it's like To live with nothing Please let my wandering heart go Still seems so much I have to know Let it go, let it go, let it go It didn't take very long to fall for you It didn't take very long to say I love you It makes me so unhappy to say No, we can't go on this way It didn't seem like you expected this Your face is a picture of unhappiness Your tears burn through my ambition Your kiss is another seduction Please let my wandering heart go Still seems so much I have to know Let it go, let it go, let it go

Daughter 03:57
Are you going to slow down, darling Are you, are you Are you going to turn round, darling Are you, are we going to see Something change in me, in me Are you going to rely on me Are you, will you Are things going safe with you Maybe, are they, are we going to stay In my lonely time, with none I've got to the stage Where I lean on you I've got to the stage where I I lean on your memory Please change Please change Are you going to remain lonely Or are you going to grow up, daddy Am I your make, and will you be around To hear my story I'm beginning to rely on your memory I'm beginning to rely on your memory Oh, will you be around to hear my story La, la, la
5.
The more I see you, the more I like you The more my feelings begin to show Though I don't show it, I dream, you know it And that you'll say yes if I do let go Am I right to think that maybe This could turn out to be my first love I would not rush this, our first kiss Should mean the end of a search I flood with fever when you are near And It gets worse Am I right to think that maybe This could turn out to be my first love Will we do this, I need something To help me through this, I need more I'm at the gate now, the more I wait My fear says stay, go, stay I'm sure it's you who could lift my soul You make me smile as I give my soul I need to know Am I right to think that maybe This could turn out to be my first love Will we do it, say something To help me through this, I need more Oh give me, tell me more
6.
He is a kingpin no one stands up to him He has a leaving vibe and, later, an instant activator He is a spell caster, takes you there faster Spinning, spilling, ready, willing He sees your bad mood, you give in, and he soothes He has it full screen, as much as you'll ever need And you'll need He is not a friend, or a listener, or a giver And you'd love to hate him, For being so clever, but as you have him And you leave him to run fast for cover You're body will tease you, oh lover, lover, lover You will try to be patient with your true friends who care, you exist in their comfort, But they are never aware that he lies waiting He is forever, he is rude, sent to you, and very clever To have, to have, to have, just to have

Bravura 05:09
So glad I met you, now I've seen you You just have to say yes, come on and say yes Do your best, I want to make this happen Start to undo, let me inside, say what's on your mind Come on, open wide, seek and find, let me make you happy I'll be ready when I get to you Steady with my hands on you If you help me, I can see this through Because I want to be with you Because you caught my eye Because you seem to want love I want to try How do you see me, where do you feel me Tell me what I should know, let it show I can feel that this is real and that it's right That you should be here and that it's right To make myself clear Because I want to be with you Because you caught my eye Because you seem to want love I want to try I'm falling for your love It's right that you should be here It's right to make myself clear So glad I met you
