Only Love
Kula Shaker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You want some time,
you want your peace of mind
Only love will take you there
You want the past,
you wanted everything

Only love will take you there (x2)
Cracks on the pavement
preying upon your mind
Only love will take you there
You want a new life
a little happiness

Only love will take you there (x2)

'Cos There's no time to wait for,
the world ain't fair
Only your love will take you there
Yes, there's no time to waste,
say a simple prayer
Only your love will take you there

One heart, one direction
Only love will take you there
And if you're searching fort the Mighty one
Only love will take you there (x2)

Darling you can take your chances,
make like you don't car
But all your fairytale romances,
lead you to despair





Only love will take you there (x2)
