about

My favourite track from Taken. I’d already lost two friends to drugs and others were going down the same path. For a while there it seemed like vampire land, people disappearing daily. Although this song was written with someone specific in mind it could just as well have been titled “Note to self”.

lyrics

You’ll find out in the morning what you’ve got,
whether you’ve got something or not.
Can you take it with a bow?
Can you take it like a mother’s kiss?
Hamish.
Hamish.
You’ll find out in the night what you need.
What kind of book you got to read.
Can you take it like a gift?
Can you take it like a mother’s kiss?
Hamish.
Hamish.
If you get a little careless, just let me know and I’ll tell all the cars to go real slow.
Can you take it with a bow?
Can you take it just like Lou Reed did?
Hamish.
Hamish.
Can you take it with a bow?
Can you take it only then and now?
Can you take it like a gift?
Can you take it just like Lou Reed did?
Can you take it like a mother’s, a mother’s kiss?
Hamish.
Because the satellite’s gone right up to the sky.
Because the satellite’s gone right up to the sky.
Because the satellite’s gone right up to the sky.
Because the satellite’s gone.
The satellite’s gone.
If you get a little careless, just let me go.
I’ll tell all the cars to go real slow.
