Assignment 1: English Song

This week´s journal question is: What is an English song that you like? To answer, follow the directions below.

Directions:
1. Choose a song you´d like to share & post the lyrics.
2. Above the lyrics, introduce the song - write why you´ve chosen that song and what you like about it (50 words or more).
3. After you post the introduction and lyrics, post a link to the song. You can include an audio or video of the song.

Example:
A song I like is José González´s 2005 cover of ¨Heartbeats.¨ The original is by the mysterious Swedish band The Knife. I found out about the song because of a Sony Bravia commercial that used a fragment of the song to sell television sets. I enjoy both versions of ¨Heartbeats¨, but the video for the Sony Bravia is excellent. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! For more information about The Knife, visit this wikipedia article.

one night to be confused
one night to speed up truth
we had a promise made
four hands and then away
both under influence
we had devine scent
to know what to say
mind is a razorblade
to call for hands of above
to lean on
wouldn't be good enough
for me, no
one night of magic rush
the start a simple touch
one night to push and scream
and then relief
ten days of perfect tunes
the colors red and blue
we had a promise made
we were in love
to call for hands of above
to lean on
wouldn't be good enough
for me, no
to call for hands of above
to lean on
wouldn't be good enough
and you, you knew the hand of the devil
and you, kept us awake with wolfs teeth
sharing different heartbeats
in one night
to call for hands of above
to lean on
wouldn't be good enough
for me, no
to call for hands of above
to lean on
wouldn't be good enough
