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.

Yonderhead

Track #05 - The Opiates // By: Thomas Feiner

My spine and leverage
Were not mine
Some items borrowed
And now gone

Pick me up, animate me, render me
Take me back to the ghosts
Of the day

Lend me a life
Put me on a loop again
Define, define me ‘yonderhead’

My plots and purposes
Were not mine
Just items borrowed
And now gone

Hook me up and ignite me, play the course
Bring me back to the ghosts
Of the date

Lend me a life
Put me on a loop again
Define, define me ‘yonderhead’

Lend, lend, lend
Lend, lend
Lend me a life
Put me on a loop again
Just spine me up for liberty and hopes
Liberties and hopes, and liberties and hopes
Define me
And bind me
And I’ll crawl the pretty path
I’ll crawl the pretty path
