ALIVE

When I watch you, I wanna do you right where you're standing (yeah)
Right on the foyer, on this dark day, right in plain view (oh yeah)
Of the whole ghetto. The boots stomp meadows, but we ignore that (yeah)
You're lovely, baby. This war is crazy. I won't let you down (Oh no no)

No, I won't let them take you, won't let them take you
Hell no no, oh no, I won't let them take you, won't let them take you
Hell no no.

No, oh no no no!

And when our city, vast and shitty, falls to the axis (yeah)
They'll search the buildings, collect gold fillings, wallets and rings (oh yeah)
But Ms. Black Eyeliner, you'd look finer with each day in hiding (oh yeah)
Beneath the wormwood, oooh, love me so good.
They won't hear us screw away the day. I'll make you say:

Alive! Alive!
Alive with love, alive with love tonight

No, I won't let them take you, won't let them take you
Hell no no, oh no, I won't let them take you, won't let them take you
Hell no no.

Our Treblinka is alive with the glory of love!
Treblinka, alive, with the glory of love, yeah!

Should they catch us and dispatch us to those separate work camps,
I'll dream about you. I will not doubt you with the passing of time (oh yeah)
Should they kill me, your love will fill me, as warm as the bullets (yeah)
I'll know my purpose. This war was worth this. I won't let you down.
No, I won't
No, I won't
No, I won't

Alive! Alive!
Alive with love, alive with love tonight
Hell no no, oh no
Alive! Alive!
I won't let them take you, won't let them take you (Alive with love, alive with love tonight)
Hell no, no
No, no

- Alive With The Glory Of LOVE
Say Anything


Say Anything make me want to sing really loud and dance around.
They're fab. They make me happy. I've been listening to their album "It's A Real Boy" all week long.
Check them out if you're not already a fan.
The song has a cute film clip, you can watch it on Youtube here.
Alternatively, you can watch Julia Nunes do a cover of the song on her uke here. She's fab, Say Anything are fab... everybody wins.
Thanks to Rachel for supplying me with some of their music! <3
I WILL write a TiLT tomorrow, I promise.
