Listen to A Thing or Two of Such About by Richard Charles Stevens (Naked Suite)

Take a shine to luxury

Take a shine to luxury

Where destiny abounds
.
I know a thing or two about recovery
Of trading in the old me for another me
The voyage one takes to greatest rediscovery
When faced with strife contrived to illustrate a life destabilised
And take a shine
.
To master our own puppetry
Untangling our strings
As we were not supplied with wings to simply dangle
Shambling through pre-production
Angling for reconstruction
Handling our business
With ambition lifting gifted function
Lived-in we may be
But need not labour on assumption
We are fated to narrate a mazy tangle

Too late in the day to make pretend I lend consent to fate
To see me dress lament upon descent

.
I know a thing or two about the voices in my head
The choice where I decline to pay great mind to the lamentable suggestion that the quest is geometric to the end
When relevant to essence better spent
.

Take a shine to luxury
Take a shine to luxury
Take a shine to luxury
Make a great eruption kid
.

Take a shine to luxury
Take a shine to luxury
Take a shine to luxury
Make a great eruption kid
.

Take a shine to luxury
Take a shine to luxury
Take a shine to luxury
Make a great eruption kid

Take a shine to luxury
Take a shine to luxury
Take a shine to luxury
Where destiny abounds
.
I was barely seventeen when I first dreamt of reinvention
Identity was hesitant at best
That was then
And this is now
High time to envisage how to give a more preeminent address
Essentially belief is long-term memory redeemed
The extrasensory unsheathe of virtuous blade
Only when we bleed
Can we be clearly seen to breathe
And credence thereby steeps the breeze
To turn the page
.
I know a thing or two of light and day
Renewing right of way
To do or die entitled either way
Reliance placed a smile unto my wizened face
As I remained the same way facing
Famed in pride of place
I know a thing or two of why we shy away from diamond trade
On slightest trace of unsustained devout
Yet still I stand here unafraid
Of death’s caress and tired tirade
To side with fate when destiny abounds
.

Take a shine to luxury
Take a shine to luxury
Take a shine to luxury
Make a great eruption kid
.

Take a shine to luxury
Take a shine to luxury
Take a shine to luxury
Make a great eruption kid
.

Take a shine to luxury
Take a shine to luxury
Take a shine to luxury
Make a great eruption kid
.

Take a shine to luxury
Take a shine to luxury
Take a shine to luxury
Where destiny abounds
.
I know a thing or two about recovery
Of trading in the old me for another me
The voyage one takes to greatest rediscovery
When faced with strife contrived to illustrate a life destabilised
And take a shine to luxury
Take a shine to luxury
Take a shine to luxury
.
(I know a thing or two about)
I know a thing or two of why we shy away from diamond trade
On slightest trace of unsustained devout
Yet still I stand here unafraid
Of death’s caress and tired tirade
To side with fate when destiny abounds
.

I know a thing or two of grounds
To leap profoundly
Breach the boundary
Sleeping soundly
Whereby dreams be found
I know a thing or two of such about
I know a thing or two of such about
.

Too late in the day to make pretend I lend consent to fate
To see me dress lament upon descent

.

Too late in the day to make pretend I lend consent to fate
To see me dress lament upon descent

I know a thing or two about the voices in my head
The choice where I decline to pay great mind to the lamentable suggestion that the quest is geometric to the end
Intent on setting precedent for eloquence self-evident when relevant to essence better spent
Besides I’m not the kind of guy to vent
Besides I’m not the kind of guy to vent
