Do you see what I see?

And all the world is biscuit-shaped
Its just for me to feed my face
And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste
And Ive got 1 2 3 4 5

Devo - Freedom of Choice
"Then you got it, you don't want it,
Seems to be the rule of thumb
Dont be tricked by what you see
You've got two ways to go"
(ok, sort of metaphoric, but it's a Devo reference)...

Let's try:

"See Me, Feel Me" - Tommy - The Who
"See me, feel me, touch me, heal me".

Sandra Dodd said...

Oh wow---That "Tommy" quote is a blue-ribbon entry. (And Holly's from Hairspray was pretty impressive too.)



I can make you mine
Taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day

Sandra Dodd said...

If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung,
Would you hear my voice come thru the music,
Would you hold it near as it were your own

This morning I read that Fred Savage sings his baby to sleep with "Ripple." It's on my MySpace page. It has a reference to hearing.

Open up your eyes now
Tell me what you see

Sandra Dodd said...

Today while the blossom still clings to the vine
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows will all pass away
E'er I forget all the joy that is mine today

(Common song in the 60's and I haven't heard it for many, many years.)

Deborah in IL said...

They'll tell you that the darkness is a blessing in disguise
For you'll never have to notice if you're sighted or you're blind
And they'll do their best to keep you from the light

Your song will fill the air
Sing it loud so I can hear you
