The Field Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He's a responsible man
Just know that he will
Just know that I can under the circumstances at hand
It's part of the deal...
Don't give up on us now
You're the one that will be showing us
How we will all come together naturally
Saving my life
It's all part of the deal
Saving my life
It's part of the deal
Don't give up on the world
We weren't just born to die
We weren't born just to fade away
What do you think mistakes are for
To walk through naturally
It's part of the deal
You're saving my life
It's all part of the deal
Saving my life
It's part of the deal
Ready to go
Ready to go
Ready to go
It's all part of the deal
You're saving my life

I love that sound at 6:25. First time Ive heard it I was on a bus and stood up explosively because I was severly disoriented, thus my headphones came out of a jack slot. I also played Chrono Trigger on my symbian equipped Nokia while listening to this album. Good, carefree times.

A mood I can re-visit anytime. A rare groove, as Gilles Peterson would say.
