Heart and Soul

Drive to the corner store. Lazy, I know.

Buy cigarettes. Cancer, stink, I know.

Moderately distraught with el Universo (definitely not real Spanish).

Radio plays this song. I jam it. Loved it as a kid. Had a dance to it and everything.

Oddly lyrics ring sadly true.

Video and lyrics below:

Video = awesome eighties-ness. And I have watched it at least fifteen times. If you are envisioning a girl with a cocktail, smoking cigarettes and singing this song teary eyed you are on the right track.



Heart and Soul - T'pau
(Something in the moonlight catches my eye
The shadow of a lover goes dancing by
Looking for a little bit of love to grow, so
Give me love, give me heart and soul
You never let me cross to the other side now
I'm tied to the hope that you will somehow
Hard on the heels of something more
When I lost your love, heart and soul
The tear in my heart as you walk on by)
More than an ocean,
(I feel so low and your head is high
Everything you do convinces me more)
Keeps us apart.
(Please, give me love, give me heart and soul
Looking to the day when I saw your face)
I feel a tearing in half of my heart.
(I wasn't in the running, I wasn't in the race
You moved in a way that I've known before
Now I want your love, heart and soul)

(Tired eyes, tears that dried)
Leaving you ain't easy now,
(On the bed, on the pillow, where the love has died)
But loving you's the harder part.
(A turn of the key, through the door you go)
You never want me for myself,
(Don't look back, to hurt me more)
And I've needed you right
from the very start.
(Everything you said was to the point
Can't you try to)
Oh, won't you even try to:

Give a little bit of heart and soul.
(Give a little bit of heart and soul)
Give a little bit of love to grow.
Give a little bit of heart and soul,
(Give a little bit of heart and soul)
And don't you make me beg for love.
(Must I beg you)
Give a sign 'cos' I need to know.
A little bit of heart and soul.
(Walking on the water, walking on the air)

A walk on the water,
(That was the heart of the love we shared
Do you keep a secret left untold)
Is all that I need.
(That you can't give love, heart or soul
I used to have a lover with a Midas touch)
But miracles are not happening.
(I turned to gold but he turned to dust
Left me for another, I turned to stone
Now give me love, heart and soul)
(Tired eyes, tears that dried)
Living in a fantasy,
(On the bed, on the pillow, where you told your lies)
There's never any room to breath.
(A turn of the key, and my blood runs cold)
Hoping every waking hour,
(Don't look back to hurt me more)
You'll turn around and say that we can start.
(Everything you did just said it all
Can't you try to)
Won't you even try to:

Give a little bit of heart and soul.
(Give a little bit of heart and soul.)
Give a little bit of love to grow.
Give a little bit of heart and soul,
(Give a little bit of heart and soul.)
And don't you make me beg for love.
(Must I beg you)
Give a sign 'cos' I need to know.
A little bit of heart and soul.

Somehow I lost my way,
Looking to see something in your eyes.
But love will never compromise.
Now this is the politics of life, yeah!

Give a little bit of heart and soul.
(Give a little bit of heart and soul)
Give a little bit of love to grow.
Give a little bit of heart and soul,
(Give a little bit of heart and soul)
And don't you make me beg for love.
(Must I beg you?)
Give a sign I need to know.
A little bit, a little bit.
Give a little bit of heart and soul.
(Give a little bit of heart and soul)
Give a little bit of love to grow.
Give a little bit of heart and soul,
(Give a little bit of heart and soul)
And don't you make me beg for love.
(Must I beg you?)
Give a sign I need to know.
A little bit, a little bit.
