Robert Palmer - 'Addicted To Love'
 

Just watched some 80's music documentary thing on Sky One.

Never knew that this song was originally intended to be called 'Addicted to drugs'.

He spoke about some of the lyrics in the song. After reading it all, it makes sense...

* replace 'love' with 'drugs' * :pimp


Your lights are on, but you're not home
Your mind is not your own
Your heart sweats, your body shakes
Another kiss is what it takes

You can't sleep, you can't eat
There's no doubt, you're in deep
Your throat is tight, you can't breathe
Another kiss is all you need

Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh
yeah

It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough, you
know you're

Gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love

You see the signs, but you can't read
You're runnin' at a different speed
You heart beats in double time
Another kiss and you'll be mine, a one track mind

You can't be saved
Oblivion is all you crave
If there's some left for you
You don't mind if you do

Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh
yeah

It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough, you
know you're

Gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love

Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love

GUITAR SOLO (ONCE AROUND)

Your lights are on, but you're not home
Your will is not your own
You're heart sweats and teeth grind
Another kiss and you'll be mine

Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh
yeah

It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough, you
know you're

Gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love

Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love

Anyone who doesn't do drugs probably won't get it anyway... :winkwink:

hahha i never knew that, awesome.

changed my view of that song

Reading all the lyrics again is unreal to be honest...

Addicted to love.
Addicted to drugs.
Addicted to pussy.
Addicted to.....

Addiction, in it's purest meaning, will pretty much match that song. And, yea, like others posted, it's very eerie reading those lyrics now. I was too mesmerized by the hot chicks in his videos to pay attention to the lyrics.

You can't sleep, you can't eat
There's no doubt, you're in deep
Your throat is tight, you can't breathe


Your mind is not your own
Your heart sweats, your body shakes



Your lights are on, but you're not home
Your will is not your own
You're heart sweats and teeth grind




Sounds like drugs to me... :winkwink:

Thread needs pics of those chicks grinding on the guitars in the video.

How about Shania Twains copy of it ??

(not the guys, just her) :winkwink:

Dude.
After reading those lyrics again, that's a fucking great song for addiction to anything. Not just drugs.

But even when I read the lyrics, I still think of those slinky babes in black, tight-fitted, short cut body armor with slick-backed hair. I think number 3 from the left was the one I wanted to bang the most, but that memory is a bit fuzzy. At this point in my life, I'd walk down the hill slowly and bang them all.

TWAIN - Timmins Woman Always In the News

Question is - would she be as hot with a name like Eilleen Regina Edwards?

This is what you end up with if American Idol held the video tryouts:

Would't matter to me. I'd still hit it !! :pimp

Please don't fuck with the fantasy.
Please.
Those Palmer videos were such good memories. Seeing the dude in the middle just frightened the turtle so bad, I don't think it's coming back out for days.

The one in the middle is hot... :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

It is a darn sexy idea!
