'Sensitive'

Postby Sylvian's Beard on Mon Sep 10, 2007 1:06 am

What is this song about? Off of Mick's first solo album..read the lyrics. Is this a song of betrayal? For example ill feelings towards certain people, after the band broke up?

your voice, your face your hair is everywhere
today my dreams turned into nightmares
in time, i hate to say it, gentlemen
there'll be nothing wonderful here
there'll be nothing left to fear

all the people see me as a fool
all the people say that it's because of you
all the people like to think they care
if you'd shake their hands and stab them
maybe they'd become sensitive

now my life i've spent inside this jealousy
it seemed so easy
i could have your beauty for free
when time decides to take this pain away
we'll find our freedom again
we're still gentlemen

all the people see me as a fool
all the people say that it's because of you
all the people like to think they care
if you'd shake their hands and stab them
maybe they'd become sensitive

Well that would be a neat trick since the album was recorded and released prior to the band's breakup, lol.

But personally, I've always thought the song was addressed to David, with that "...we'll still be gentlemen" line, and not just in relation to anything involving Yuka.

Though after reading that interview with mick before the band broke up, if he wrote that arounf the time that Yuka laft him for Sylvian, would make sense!!
Probably nothing to do with that....or is it!

Maybe they could have alternately 'dissed' each other on their solo records like rappers do.

Hey, maybe if he does something new, hip, and current, we'll actually get a US tour.
