Moon in June
Soft Machine Lyrics

On a dilemma between what I need and what I just want
I'm torn between fulfilling my needs and satisfying my wants

Between your thighs I feel a sensation
I feel aroused when I'm with you

How long can I resist the temptation?
I don't know how long I can hold back my desires

I've got my bird, you've got your man
We both have partners already

So who else do we need, really?
Maybe we don't need anyone else but each other

Now I'm here, I may as well put my other hand in yours
Since I'm with you, I might as well hold your hand

While we decide how far to go and if we've got time to do it now
Let's talk about what we want and decide how far we want to take things, and if we have the time to do so now

And if it's half as good for you as it is for me
If you enjoy it even half as much as I do

Then you won't mind if we lie down for a while, just for a while
You won't mind if we take a break and just lie down for a little bit

Till all the thing I want is need
Until what I want becomes what I need

You are the thing I are, I knew
I know that you are what I want and need

I want you more than ever now
I want you now more than ever before

We're on the floor, and you want more, and I feel almost sure
We're intimate and you want more, and I'm confident in reciprocating

That cause now we've agreed, that we got what we need
Now that we've decided that we want and need each other

Then all the thing us needs is wanting
All we need to do is to want each other

I realized when I saw you last
I had a realization when I saw you the last time

We've been together now and then
We've been together on occasion

From time to time - just here and there
Occasionally, but not consistently

Now I know how it feels from my hair to my heels
Now I know how it feels completely

To have you haunt the horns of my dilemma
To have you be the center of my dilemma

- Oh! Wait a minute! -
Wait a minute!

Over - Up - Over - Up - ... Down
A sequence of directions or movements

Down - Over - Up - Over - ... Up
Another sequence of directions or movements

Living can be lovely, here in New York State
Living here in New York State can be pleasant

Ah, but I wish that I were home
But I long to be back home

And I wish I were home again - back home again, home again
I wish to be back in my hometown, once again

There are places and people that I'm so glad to have seen
There are people and places that I'm happy to have visited

Ah, but I miss the trees, and I wish that I were home again
However, I do miss the trees back home and wish to be there again

The sun shines here all summer
It's sunny here all summer

Its nice cause you can get quite brown
It's nice because you can get a tan

Ah, but I miss the rain - ticky tacky ticky
But I miss the rain and its sound

And I wish that I were home again - home again, home again...
And I wish to return home, again and again

Just before we go on to the next part of our song
Just before we move on to the next part of the song

Let's all make sure we've got the time
Let's confirm that we have enough time

Music-making still performs the normal functions -
Music-making still serves traditional purposes

background noise for people scheming, seducing, revolting and teaching
background noise for people doing all sorts of things

That's all right by me, don't think that I'm complaining
I'm okay with that, don't think that I'm complaining

After all, it's only leisure time, isn't it?
It's only leisure time, after all

Now I love your eyes - see how the time flies
Now, I love looking into your eyes as time flies by

She's learning to hate, but it's just too late for me
She's growing resentful, but I'm too invested

It was the same with her love
She loved someone else before me

It just wasn't enough for me
But it wasn't enough for me

But before this feeling dies
Before this feeling fades away

Remember how distance can tell lies!
Remember how distance can deceive us
