Duncan Browne - Give Me, Take You (1968)

격하게 아끼는
던컨 브라운의 Give me, Take me
가끔 우울할때 듣는다.

Duncan Browne - Give Me, Take You (1968)

I give you me and you take
I offer real and you give me fake
Only an expert can tell between the two
Why don't you take from me what I give to you?

You take from me and I give
What is killing me makes you live
Give to me what it takes to be
And take from you what it means to see

So give to you and I'll take from me
Through your deafness I will hear and
Through my blindness you will see
Take what I give and only you will see
What I give to you is only what you give to me

(I should take but still I give
You should give out but still you take
We miss each other by a breath)

I give you me and you take
I offer real and you give me fake
Only an expert can tell between the two
Why don't you take from me what I give to you?


Duncan Browne - Dwarf In A Tree (A Cautionary Tale) (1968)

There was a dwarf who lived in a tree
I could see him just like you see me
He told me secrets I never knew
Misfortune would fill him with glee

I gave him smiles, he gave me words
And said that I should hear what he said
That you and I should walk through our ears
Into darkness and enter our heads

See our thoughts like films on a screen
Play back what we don't understand
Rub out words we never meant
Vanish tears with a smile of the hand

What people say is said for all time
We remember what we don't forget
Putting words to a beautiful mime
And confusion is all that we get

To say hello is all that's required
Dig too deep and you get in a mess
Forcing smiles with lips that are tired
If you don't know the truth then you guess

The dwarf would laugh and stand on his head
Hang upside from the tree
And say that reasons should be left unsaid
Or you'll end up a dwarf like me

You'll stunt your mind and cripple your heart
Wanting to know why and what
And start to panic when boredom starts
So just be glad to have what you've got

The tree is gone and so has the dwarf
And all that's left is a hole
But don't be fooled that he's gone far away
He's just biding his time in your soul


리듬감 충만한 Wild Places. 후반부의 연주가 끝내준다.

Duncan Browne - Wild places (1978)

A prima donna, slipped into her leather
But she was restless
She knew it in her heart of hearts
She said "Tonight you'd better pull yourself together,
Because tonight I'm gonna pull myself apart!"
Out on the streets
Everyone is searchin' for a thrill
But she's the only one that's out there
really dressed to kill
And she said "Listen to me, it's not a tragedy,
This time I'm gettin' thorough and now there's
something you can do for me!

And oh, oh, take me to the Wild Places
And let me show you what the night is for
Cos I don't wanna dream
I wanna set the wheels in motion
I don't wanna see your eyes across a dancin' floor"

TV angel with her eyes full of smoke
Gazin' at the hero, he's so mucho macho
He shrugs, he says "This must be some kind on joke."
As she pulls on his cigarette and loves him to distraction.
But she cries, "I don't wanna feel like a machine
I'm not the only one who wants to feel the in-between
That's why I'm deep into this state of fascination
That's why I've lost the art of conversation.

And oh, oh, take me to the Wild Places
If you wanna see what's really in my soul
But you'd better keep your eye on where my pretty face is
Cos in the heat of the moment I just lose control
In the heat of the moment, I just lose control!"

Eyes out of focus, the sharpening of blades
The sad tension, reek of patchouli
Even the jokers are dealin' in spades
It's one dimension, it's all so passé'
Just then a voice said,
"Honey, it's too late to change your mind"
Her face tightened
I could see she'd found a new design
and she said, "Listen to me, it's just a fantasy
This time I'm comin through
and now there's something you can do for me...
There's something you can do for me!

And oh, oh, take me to the Wild Places
And let me show you what the night is for
I don't wanna dream, I wanna set the wheels in motion
Cos' in the heat of the moment I just lose control
In the heat of the moment I just lose control."
