Take Me I'm Yours
The Squeeze Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To greet you with a smile
My camel looks so tired
It's hardly worth my while
To tell you of my travels
Across the golden east
I see your preparations
Invite me first to the feast
Because dreams are made of this
Forever there'll be
A heaven in your kiss
Amusing belly dancers
Distract me from my wine
Across Tibetan mountains
Are memories of mine
I've stood some ghostly moments
With natives in the hills
Recorded here on paper
My chills and thrills and spills
Take me I'm yours
Because dreams are made of this
Forever there'll be
A heaven in your kiss
It's really been some welcome
You never seem to change
A grape to tempt your leisure
Romantic gestures strange
My eagle flies tomorrow
It's a game I treasure dear
To seek the helpless future
My love at last I'm here
Take me I'm yours
Because dreams are made of this
Forever there'll be
A heaven in your kiss

I met Squeeze when I was a kid. My dad was the art director at a nightclub around this time, and I got to meet and hang out with a bunch of rockstars. A lot of the bands apparently liked me because I was candid with them, unlike the sycophants with whom they surrounded themselves. Anyways, I had a lisp and tried to tell Paul Gunn that I wanted to be like him when I grew up because he was the fastest drummer in the world, but instead said “fattest.” Chris Difford fell off his barstool laughing.
