Having just come out of a 2 year relationship, I have been feeling pretty low (obviously). I have also begun listening to Radio 2 (although have usually been a Radio 1 fan in the past.. but it lacks the soulful tunes of '2') at night to help me focus on the struggle of writing my dissertation.. and last night as i was listening this gem of a song came on : Alice Gold - Runaway Love.
It is absolutely brilliant - both the melody and the lyrics :) A 'runaway love' is exactly what i need this summer.. some escapism, spontaneity, and a whirlwind romance.
Alice Gold, thank you!
Be my runaway love
Be my runaway love
Wanna runawaylove with you
I want to run run run away
Have you ever been to Paris in march
Done the Eiffel tower and the arch
These days you can get there by train
Come on let's runaway
We can hire some red bicycles
Ride the path along the canals
Take a trip on a boat down the seine
With champagne and I'll let you pay
Be my runaway love
Be my runaway love
Wanna runawaylove with you
I want to run run run away
Have you ever been to Berlin in June
They say noone gets up til noon
And the streets are lined with cafes
Come on let's runaway
Take me to a restaurant to dine
I will wear a dress so divine
You'll find you can't tear your eyes away
Later on you can tear it off anyway
Be my runaway love
Be my runaway love
Wanna runawaylove with you
I want to run run run away
Don't keep me waiting
Anticipating
For promises coming
The oil on the painting drying
Tears on my face will roll in the rain
And my heart will be aching again
But have you ever been to new York in may
The loveliest month so they say
Up town and central park
Until it gets too dark
And then we can head to a show
There's a little hidden bar there I know
The band are playing tango til two
It takes two and I want to tango with you
Be my runaway love
Be my runaway love
Wanna runawaylove with you
I want to run run run away
