An Oldie

Was at Bugis with an ex- colleague for lunch yesterday. Then we went shopping thereafter, and in this shop I heard an oldie.. Such an old song that I almost forgot its existence.

It was sung all the way back in 1984, if I am not wrong. Somehow, somewhere, I heard this song long long time ago and liked it. I can still remember very vividly that one of my ECA friends in my JC was very sweet. She knew that my friend and I liked this song, so she went to copy the lyrics of this song very nicely on a piece of paper for us. If my memory has not failed me, I had tucked this piece of paper in my organiser then. I am sure that this piece of paper is still in that organiser, which is, yes, still with me today.

And with a stroke of luck again, one of my colleagues had this song. So I took the song from him today :) Anyway... this is the lyrics of the song.

Song: Somebody
Singer: Depeche Mode

I want somebody to share

Share the rest of my life

Share my innermost thoughts

Know my intimate details

Someone who'll stand by my side

And give me support

And in return

She'll get my support

She will listen to me

When I want to speak

About the world we live in

And life in general

Though my views may be wrong

They may even be perverted

She'll hear me out

And won't easily be converted

To my way of thinking

In fact she'll often disagree

But at the end of it all

She will understand me

I want somebody who cares

For me passionately

With every thought and with every breath

Someone who'll help me see things

In a different light

All the things I detest

I will almost like

I don't want to be tied

To anyone's strings

I'm carefully trying to steer clear of those things

But when I'm asleep

I want somebody

Who will put their arms around me

And kiss me tenderly

Though things like this

Make me sick

In a case like this

I'll get away with it
