George Eliot

But that intimacy of mutual embarrassment, in which each feels that the other is feeling something, having once existed, its effect is not to be done away with.

Intimacy

Afraid of intimacy.
A heart that has been stung,
Just once...
Becomes more suspicious,
And less naive...
When a stinging from someone loved,
Is untimely done.

Afraid of intimacy.
Very few are ready to commit to this.
Until assured some consistency,
Is readily given...
In the sharing of mutual needs.

Not many will leave themselves open.
Or acknowledge publicly...
A wish for a love uncompared,
Shared in secret privacy.
And one devoted and discreet.

Afraid of intimacy?
Not me!
Whether private in discreet...
Or publicly displayed on crowded streets.
I seek a one on one!
That would suit me perfectly.
But these days that kind of intimacy,
Seems to be antiquated history.

Afraid of intimacy.
Very few are ready to commit to this.
Until assured some consistency,
Is readily given...
In the sharing of mutual needs.

And that would be my philosophy,
Regarding how I feel about intimacy.
An act complete of 'shared' familiarity.
Not something done to walk away from and leave.
That's nothing more than satisfying a convenience.

Embarassment

Received a letter just the other day
don't seem they wanna know you no more
they've laid it down given you their score
within the first two lines it bluntly read
You're not to come see us no more
keep away from our door
don't come around here no more
what on earth did you do that for?
Our aunt she don't wanna know she says
what will the neighbours think they'll think
we don't that's what they'll think we don't
but i will 'cos i know they think i don't
Our uncle he don't wanna know
he says we are a disgrace
to the human race
he says how can you show your face
when you're a disgrace to the human race
they've made a commitment
you're an embarrassment
yes an embarrassment
a living endorsement
the intention that you have booked
was an intention that was overlooked
They say stay away
don't want you home today
keep away from our door
don't come around here no more
Our dad don't wanna know he says
this is a serious matter
too late to reconsider
no one's gonna wanna know ya
Our mum she don't wanna know she says
i'm feeling twice as old she said
thought she had her head on her shoulders
'cos i'm feeling twice as older
i'm feeling twice as older
You're an embarrassment
(corrected the 3d and the 7th verse)

Traffic Jam The Sequel

Everybody has feeling
But not every time they feel the same
One side feels it’s annoying
Other side feels it’s arrogant
When they don’t realize the other feeling
What wait in front are only troubles

Everybody has feeling
Sometimes it’s difficult to remember that
One side feels it is freedom
Other side feels it is threat
They think they will lose
If they should always care about opponent’s feeling

Everybody has feeling
“I should be treated first! ”
One side crosses the path
Other side slices the road
If everybody ignores feeling
They only become trashes

Everybody has feeling
But what would happen to the world
Everybody has their own problems
Everybody has their own reasons
But not everybody has good tolerance
If the patience over …

Intimacy is feared

Lovers fear secrecy
As they both have secrecy.
Intimacy means connecting
The inner core of the two,
Which will expose their weak spots,
Fearing which they fear intimacy.
They want bodily intimacy
Without soul’s intimacy.
Such intimacy betrays trust
And will wreck the very love.

Feels So Good

It feels so good
I knew that it would
Nothing's gonna take this day away
Cos it feels so nice
Oh so right
Nothing's gonna take this day away

Was only yesterday
I tried to get away
And now this feeling makes you turn around
I was so very sure
What I was wishing for
And now my feet can hardly touch the ground

Cos the sun is shining
Holiday timing
I needed something to rescue me
Feeling ordinary
Now I'm ready
So come on with me

Cos
It feels so good
I knew that it would
Nothing's gonna take this day away
Cos it feels so nice
Oh so right
Nothing's gonna take this day away

I'm where I wanna be
Life in so bottle me
I took my cares
And left them all behind
I had to get away
Deal with them another day
They're outta sight and out of mind

Cos the sun's still shining
No denying
Something came along to rescue me
Feeling ordinary
Now I'm ready
So come on with me

It feels so good
I knew that it would
Nothing's gonna take this day away
Cos it feels so nice
Oh so right
Nothing's gonna take this day away

It's just what I needed
It's an emotional healing
It's a wonderful feeling
Nothing left to lose
Yeah

Cos it feels so good
I knew that it would
Nothing's gonna take this day away
Cos it feels so nice
Oh so right
Nothing's gonna take this day away

Cos it feels so good
I knew that it would
Nothing's gonna take this day away
Cos it feels so nice
Oh so right
Nothing's gonna take this day away

Cos it feels so good
I knew that it would
Nothing's gonna take this day away
Cos it feels so nice
Oh so right
Nothing's gonna take this day away

No Way

Lately things wont go my way
Lately everything is grey
It feels like something
It feels like nothing
So I came too far
To end up this way
Feeling like Im god
Feeling is no way
So Im angry for today
Angers the only thing Ive made
It feels like something
No its nothing
So I came too far
To end up this way
Feeling like Im god
Feeling is no way
To live this way
Hating, feeling, falling
To the place where people haunt me
I cant help but give up
Falling to the place where people know me
I cant wait
To give them these feelings of hating
Keeping in side me
For all to take
Picking at me
Theyre ripping at me
Ripping at me
So I came too far
To end up this way
Feeling like Im god
Feeling is no way
To live this way

Security

I know the feeling i can see it in the mirror
It knows that i'm receptive and it knows that i am here
It's always quite confusing when i try to leave it home
I'll be walking going somewhere and i feel i'm not alone
It is with me in the morning it is with me late at night
It's always confidential and it knows i'm always right
I can hide it in believing what i'm doing is not a game
But the feeling keeps me feeling that it's with me just the same
If something in the world seems right then it is what i know
This is where i want to be, so this is where i go
Everybody feels better look inside and see a radio, a radio
Everybody feels better with security
I put on my coat and omit my hat
Get a grip on my umbrella i'm not looking back
Everybody's different but we're all quite the same
And the feeling comprehensive and the feeling in the range
It is with me in the morning it is with me late at night
It is always quite supportive and it knows i'm always right
I can hide it in believing what i'm doing is not a game
But the feeling keeps me feeling that it's with me just the same
And if something in the world seems right then it is what i know
And this is where i want to be then this is where i go
Everybody feels better look inside and see a radio, a radio
Everybody feels better with security
I know the feeling i can tell you when it's there
It's crawling up my socks and it's running through my hair
It's always quite confusing when i try to leave it home
I'll be walking going nowhere and i'll feel i'm not alone
It is with me in the morning it is with me late at night
It is always confidential and it knows i'm always right
The feelings there to tell me what i'm doing is not a game
And the feeling keeps me feeling that it likes it just the same
And something in the world seems right and this is what i know
And if this is where i want to be then this is where i'll go
Everybody feels better look inside and see a radio, a radio
Everybody feels better with security
It's just something they told me
They said that everything in the world is right and this is what i know
And this is all i want to be so this is where i go
Everybody feels better look outside and see a radio, a radio
Everybody feels better with security-t-t
Everything in the world is right and this is who i know
And this is where i want to be so this is where i go
Everybody feels better look inside and see a radio, a radio
Everybody feels better with security-t-t

Separate savings

The tightest intimacy
Is the physical intimacy
That husband and wife enjoy.
Their separate earnings
And separate pooling
Would mar that intimacy.
The scarifying tendency
In them will slowly die.

Feels So Good

Feels good
Im stranded on a spaceship hideaway
And something makes me think Im here to stay
Im so happy where I am
Feels good
Ive journeyed to the other atmospheres
And every breath I take just makes it clear
Im holding heaven in my hands
Its automatic baby and it feels good
And it feels so good
Feels good
And it feels so good
Feels good
These extra-sensory sensations
Are causing me some complications
Electrostatic information
Feels good
Im playing with a pleasure trafficker
Arriving soon intergalactica
Im holding heaven in my hands
Its automatic baby and it feels good
Feels good
Feels good
Feels good
Feels good
And it feels so good
Feels good
And it feels so good
Feels good
And it feels so good
Feels good
And it feels so good
Feels good
Feels so good
Feels so good
Feels so good
Feels good
Feels so good
Feels so good
Feels so good
Feels good
Im stranded on a spaceship hideaway
Feels good
And it feels so good
Feels good
And it feels so good
Feels good
And it feels so good
Feels good
And it feels so good
Feels good
And it feels so good
Feels good
And it feels so good
Feels good
And it feels so good
Feels good
And it feels so good

An Aging Done With Maturity

An aging done with maturity,
Allows some to become objective.
With a forgiving of those who had demeaned.
For whatever the reason may be,
People choose to select others...
With a choice to make them their enemies.
So foolish is this process.

And when one ages a patience seems to arrive,
With a sharing of recipes...
Some announce they would like to try.
And the openness by which sex is expressed...
On all levels of intimacy,
Are quickly discussed without embarrassment...
As if in the doing of it is an achievement,
Those who age want everyone to believe!

'My grandparents use to talk to me about sex,
More than my own parents did!
And where they were when wars were fought!
What's up with that? '

Dumb intimacy

In your presence I am silent
And in my presence you are.
Between us silence is comfortable.
Is not it itself a proof
That we are bound by affinity.
I am man and you, a woman.
Is not that itself a proof
That it is more than affinity.
Let us not reveal what it means,
To spare us of that embarrassment.
Let us be dumbly intimate.
That intimacy is more sounding;
That silence is more sounding.1

Feels Like Today

Woke up this morning
With this feeling inside me that I can't explain
Like a weight that I've carried
Has been carried away, away
But I know something is coming
I don't know what it is
But I know it's amazing, you save me
My time is coming
And I'll find my way out of this longest drought
It feels like today I know it feels like today I'm sure
Its the one thing that's missin'
The one thing I'm wishin'
Life's sacred blessin'
It feels like today
Feels like today
You treat life like a picture
But its not a moment thats frozen in time
It's not gonna wait
Til you make up your mind, at all
So while this storm is breaking
While there's light at the end of the tunnel
Keep running towards it
Releasing the pressure, that's my heartache
Soon this dam will break
And it feels like today
I know, it feels like today, I'm sure
Its the one thing that's missin'
The one thing you're wishin'
Life's sacred blessin'
It feels like today
Feels like today
And it feels like today
I know, it feels like today, I'm sure
Its the one thing that's missin'
The one thing you're wishin'
Life's sacred blessin'
It feels like today
Feels like, feels like your life changes
Feels like feels like your life changes
Its the one thing that's missin'
The one thing you're wishin'
Life's sacred blessin'
Feels like today
Feels like Feels like your life changes
Feels like Feels like your life changes

Before The Absence Of It Is Recognized

Something had to have been there,
Before the absence of it is recognized.

There are those who wish for love.
But identifying it,
They can not admit that feeling...
Has ever existed for them.
Especially those with preferences.

Something had to have been there,
Before the absence of it is recognized.

Those embittered and express it,
Know what love is and this makes them sick.
Every time they think of something they did foolish.
Like admitting to submitting.
And wanting now to leave those feelings abandoned.
But can't.
And this is made no secret!

Something had to have been there,
Before the absence of it is recognized.

There are those who wish for love.
But identifying it,
They can not admit that feeling...
Has ever existed for them.
Especially those with preferences.

Those who know true love,
Aren't afraid of being crushed.
But may be overly cautious,
Suspicious and distrusting.
Hoping one raised eyebrow,
Doesn't give them or their experiences away.

'So...
How long did it take you to despise and hate,
Your previous mate? '

Being Freed From Feeling Offended

The reason why those elderly,
Are tossed aside when they become of age...
It is a wisdom and common sense,
Those incompetent...
Believe they can fake,
Without experiencing life or learning from mistakes.

Those who have aged and confess this when addressed,
Are willing to admit and quickly say...
Without the feeling of embarrassment,
To affect any impressions they may have made...
On others who are equally disconnected from reality.
With a seeking of being freed from feeling offended.
