Don't Want To Know
Yearning Echoes: Bryan Ferry's Musical Odyssey of Love and Loss
Lyrics
I want to be just everything
I want to encompass everything
More than you need
More than what you require
I want to hear you call
I desire to hear you call out only for me
Nothing but me
Exclusively focused on me
I´d be lost on my own
Alone, I would feel directionless
A bird on the wing
Similar to a bird flying freely
Heaven knows like a bird
Metaphorically, understanding everything
I see everything
I have a broad perspective like a bird
I want to play on night to night
I want to enjoy each night fully
The world on a string
Feeling like I have complete control
You look at me
Your gaze upon me
And I wonder what goes on
I ponder about the activities occurring
All that money could buy
Everything wealth can purchase
All of those things
All those material possessions
I could never be sure
I am uncertain where to start
Where to begin
Difficulty in knowing the beginning
Friday night in the rain
A Friday night, experiencing rain
Somebody new
Encountering someone new
Better now babe never
It's better to never have it now
Take it from me
Advice from my perspective
I got nothing but no
I have nothing, just denial
So many times
Repeated occurrences of events
Hold it out to me now
Offering something broken
Broken in two
Split or divided into two
