Give Me Some of That Love

Come on and please

With permission, salutation

Gimme some of that love

Love you got all holed up inside

Ain't gonna beg now

Trying not to

But I want to

Got this need see

Need to see you

Touch you

Won't you listen like you used to?

I Remember it like...

I can taste it just like...

Old times

But then I realize

I bit my lip through an'

That's blood not love

Nothing to do with you

Oozing on my tongue

Reminiscent though

All I can think on though

Through this dirt and pain

Grime and strain

Memories of you

So, greetings and salutations then

With permissions please gimme some

Some of that love to hold

Some of what you got all

Holed up inside

Your heart entrance boarded so goddamn tight

Makes me do things

These whisperings

Disagreeable

Ain't gonna beg though

Ripped apart for want of love

Want to taste it

Like the blood on my tongue

The love you hoard

It makes me do things

Disagreeable

Don't scoff

Don't walk away

Come on and please

Give me some

From the Old Record Player

Sitting down and sucking in sounds

The classical piano moves

Coming on out

Coming on out

From the record player

Vintage old 70s record player

Lean back and sucking in sounds

While outside the snow falls

While outside the history creeps

And time takes a stroll

Relentless time

Taking its toll

On everyone

Even I

Sitting down and sucking in sounds

The classical Bach piano sounds

Coming on out sublime

From the old record player

My vintage old 70s record player

I salvaged from the street

Back a ways

Back in my Annex days

In Toronto town
