This track is drawn from much personal experience. It has to be one of my favourites, both technically, and for its lyrics.

lyrics

When you’re looking for love you’re like an earthworm
Finding your way up to the sky
Love’s like looking for a needle in a haystack
You’re the luckiest if you get to see the eye
I’ve been a fool for love, I’ve been a fool for love, I thought it came from above, I’ve been a fool for love.

When you’re talking and there is no conversation
When you stand with roses waiting for the train
When you move a dozen mountains and feel good about that
It doesn’t mean that someone else will do the same
I’ve been a fool for love, I’ve been a fool for love, I thought it came from above, I’ve been a fool for love.

There’s nothing giving you a signal that you’re overboard
There’s nothing nudging you to tell that you’re wrong
There’s only starriness and loveliness and friendship at the time
But it’s something that will never last for long
There’s not a hint that in your strange imagination
There’ll be a clue you might be stepping out of line
There’s only cluelessness and dreams gone wrong and roses in your hand
A face that can only say life is fine
I’ve been a fool for love, I’ve been a fool for love, I thought it came from above, I’ve been a fool for love.

When all the orchestras are playing and there’s so much comfort
To build up walls of steel and crap seems so unfair
When all the blandness and the ice cream make you wonder where you’ve gone
Sit with roses in the dark and who will care?
Why is it nearness brings so many complications?
Why do the fault lines reappear without the cracks?
There’s no solutions that can answer all the questions that I have
Roses wither in the dark and that’s a fact

I’ve been a fool for love, I’ve been a fool for love, I thought it came from high above, I’ve been a fool for love.

about

Patrick Jasper Lee Wales, UK

I am something of an activist with my music & literature. As an indigenous Rom Gypsy my cultural and artistic work explores the highs and lows of life/soul. I champion tribal origins, and the underdog in our modern times. I am tired of what this society tends to throw at us, especially innocent folk. I believe the awesome beauty of nature & the arts remains our only hope in this chaotic world. ... more
