Baby let me know your mood
Are you feeling fine? or

Thinking 'bout you in the night
Cause you never text me back again

Please don't let me alone
Oh baby




Can I spend all my lifetime?

The situation is not yet resolved.


I done been hurt by a lot of people Some within the churches Arguing and bickering No wonder these people rather be hurting
I have been hurt by many individuals, including those within religious institutions who engage in conflict rather than offering support. It is no surprise that people prefer to remain in pain.


A church house yes supposed to be A hospital for all the broken Yet we wanna all just be happy No regard for all the hopeless
Religious institutions are meant to be a place of healing for those who are struggling, but often prioritize the happiness of its members over addressing the needs of the hopelessness.

I hope for a future when individuals stop blaming each other and take responsibility for their own actions.


We supposed to be one body But we more segregated than the world Our God He is love But how I explain all this to my lil girl
As members of a larger religious community, we should not be divided by differences like the rest of the world. It is difficult to explain this division to young children in a world where God is supposed to represent love.

It is time for all religious denominations to come together and actively work towards defeating evil.

I may face challenges, but I will not fight back with violence. Instead, I choose to love those who seek to harm me, as stated in Matthew 5:44. I will turn the other cheek and pray for those individuals.

Love this. Billy... What can you say? Incredible talent. I've just been told that John Foxx is playing acoustic guitar on this.. Wow đź’ś

wild fox

Wow, I didn't know that. I always wondered what happened to John Foxx, great to know that he rose right to the top with Billy!

Hutchie

This track has made me cry since I first bought the album so long ago, what a genius Billy was.

brianartillery

Barking - but irresistibly brilliant at the same time. Love it.

john murray

RIP Billy

dirkbogarde44

So over the top it's ridiculous but somehow..........it's like the best cover you've EVER heard. How do they did that ??? Nuts.

manifesto2006

Love the melody billy has done on this......

Skip Barker

A friend tried to tell me that Morrissey's version of this is better than Billy's. Well, all I can say is that it reminds me of the bit in the film Don't look Back. Where Donovan sings his little ditty, then Dylan takes the guitar and blasts him in to outer space with his rendition of Its All Over now Baby Blue. Billy is still king (as well as Roy Orbison of course).

Stuart Fraser

Don't you really wish the producers had been a little moe confident, or just better. Billy's performance is brilliant, and decent production could have made this a classic, a sure-fire number one!
