Lovers
Saxon Sunday Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But of late thats all im doing
Blockade my pathways
Blockade my pathways
Help! away! x8
Im calculating the time it takes
It means nothing to me
It means nothing to me
Help! away! x8
Lovers ive had
Lovers ive lost
Stop building boundaries we'll never cross
Lovers have gone
Lovers have had
Its just the way it ends that makes it so sad
For you im mooding shivery sighs
My stomach breeding butterflies
It means nothing to you
It means nothing to you
Help! away! x8
Lovers ive forgot
Lovers ive called
This is going nowhere we've totally stalled
A lover retains
Another excuse
Its a vicious thing, so whats the use?
The lyrics of "Lovers" by Saxon Sunday's expresses a sense of isolation and confusion that arises from a lack of communication and understanding. The first verse suggests that the singer is experiencing some kind of obstacle or blockade in their life which they cannot overcome, leading them to feel lost and uncertain. The repetition of "Help! away!" in both verses further underscores the sense of desperation and frustration felt by the singer.
The second verse indicates the singer's preoccupation with a certain person, whom they seem to be hesitating to pursue. The lines "Lovers I've had / Lovers I've lost / Stop building boundaries we'll never cross" suggest that the singer is haunted by past relationships that ended badly and is reluctant to repeat the same mistakes. Furthermore, the lines "A lover retains / Another excuse / It's a vicious thing, so what's the use?" imply a sense of hopelessness and resignation towards love and relationships.
The chorus also hints at the idea that the love between the singer and their object of affection is one-sided, with the singer expressing their feelings while the other person remains indifferent. The lines "For you, I'm mooding shivery sighs / My stomach breeding butterflies / It means nothing to you / It means nothing to me" suggest that the singer is struggling with unrequited love, creating an emotional distance between the two.
Overall, the lyrics of "Lovers" convey a deep sense of emotional turmoil and a desire for resolution and clarity in relationships.

Man this song is amazing. Makes me want to ride motorcycles a lot more than I already do.
Great video too.
Also: Please never ride without helmet and eye protection. NEVER.
You can get really hurt. I speak from having accidents (that I thought I was never going to have).
Helmet and protections save your life.
The best is "All the protections all the time", you will avoid very painful lesions and broken bones if you do that.
Please leave the no-helmet fantasy to movies.
Best wishes.

It is the night, my body's weak
I'm on the run, no time for sleep
I've got to ride, ride like the wind
To be free again
I was born the son of a lawless man
Always spoke my mind with a gun in my hand
Lived nine lives, gunned down ten
Gonna ride like the wind
And I've got such a long way to go
To make it to the border of Mexico
So I'll ride like the wind
Ride like the wind
Accused and tried and told to hang
I was nowhere in sight when the church bells rang
Never was the kind to do as I was told
Gonna ride like the wind before I get old
And I've got such a long way to go
To make it to the border of Mexico
So I'll ride like the wind
Ride like the wind
It is the night, my body's weak
I'm on the run, no time for sleep
I've got to ride, ride like the wind
To be free again
And I've got such a long way to go
To make it to the border of Mexico
So I'll ride like the wind
Ride like the wind

Dannie Laird Hi! Do you know where can I find / buy the movie pls? The official website no longer sell it, and I have never got answer from them. Knowing that I live in France.
Thank you for your help :)
@timotot123
This is a spectacular cover. It has it’s own voice and the video compliments the story perfectly. Saxon certainly did Christopher Cross proud for sure. Epic 👏👏👏👏👏

@dinorei7364
@Liam Basten I always preferred the original. It´s more like the spirit of rock and roll.
