Give What He's Got
Unveiling Life's Tapestry: Peter Murphy's Poetic Journey in 'Give What He's Got'
Lyrics
Xavier new boy love's venus the cat
Xavier, a new boy, loves Venus the cat.
But he's locked up in a whirlpool
He's trapped in a whirlpool.
The crowds see him
The crowds observe him.
All complicated no shine
He appears complicated with no shine.
If they saw with their inner
If people saw beyond the surface,
They'd see a man bigger than kind
They would recognize a man greater than just being kind.
Bigger than kind
Emphasizing his significant presence.
Bigger than kind
-Pray that he makes it
A prayer for his success.
Xavier new boy
Reiteration of Xavier as a new boy.
Sets himself up
Xavier establishes himself.
He's the target
He becomes a target.
Its own shot
Referring to his challenges.
He's got to learn to relax man
Advice to relax and give what he has.
Give what he's got
Encouraging him to share his capabilities.
He's diggin his own river bed
He's creating his own obstacles.
When it's hot out he's a shiver
In difficult times, he shivers.
Looking for the water of life
Searching for the essence of life.
He needs that water
He needs that vital essence in his life.
In his river
-It's a shame he can't give
Expressing regret that he can't contribute.
Give what he's got
Highlighting the importance of giving what one has.
He's got to learn to relax man
Reiterating the need for relaxation.
Give the world a shot
Suggesting he should give the world a chance.
Looking for the next world
Seeking something beyond the current reality.
It's a natural thirst
Expressing a natural thirst for the unknown.
But the next world is made up
Emphasizing the importance of shaping the current world for a better future.
Of what you make of this one first
