Selected Lyrics

The vast majority of Sylvian lyrics can be found at davidsylvian.net and slowfire. I'll generally only transcribe newly released songs that aren't up elsewhere (or ones that contain interesting background samples or vocals) and live versions of unreleased songs.

Dinah & the Beautiful Blue

Track #02 - The Opiates // By: Thomas Feiner & Anywhen

She will run, and hide from the nannies
Making fun of those big nannies with guns

That’s a strange little girl
Such a strange little girl

She’ll go through the fences
Sneak away
To see her friend’s beautiful blue…

That’s a strange little girl
Such a strange little girl

Dinah & the Beautiful Blue
In the fields, they will sing for hours
Dinah & the Beautiful Blue
Let him through, all the hidden powers
Dinah & the Beautiful Blue
With the force of a million lifetimes
Dinah to the Beautiful Blue
Bring me love, make me smile again

She so runs, and hide from the nannies
Making fun of those big nannies with guns

In the late afternoon
Let ‘em ring, all the bells
Let ‘em search, as daylight fades away

Dinah & the Beautiful Blue
In the fields, they will sing for hours
Dinah & the Beautiful Blue
Let him through, all the hidden powers
Dinah & the Beautiful Blue
With the force of a million lifetimes
Dinah & the Beautiful Blue
In the fields, they will sing again
