Terrifyingly good.
“The more I’m with you
The more I feel my love increase
I’m building all my dreams around you
My happiness will never cease
But nothing’s any good without you
Cause baby you’re my centrepiece
I buy a house and garden somewhere
Along a country road a piece
A little cottage on the outskirts
Where we can really find release
But nothing’s any good without you
Cause you’re my centrepiece”
lovely stuff. not sure if i like ‘masque feminine’ as much as ‘the light is out,’ but it is still really damn good.
