LYRICS:

Psychic TV - Just Drifting (For Caresse)

Sometimes, just drifting
in this simple world
like a country stream,
asleep to discussion
(the numbness of content)
I see you smile drifting.
Like a country stream,
my little girl,
precious and pure
as I fall back,
into softness and sleep
you Caresse me with simple love
you possess me with
simple love.
A Caresse is just a touch,
and you touched my heart, and now that we're together
you and I will never part.
You Caresse me with simple love,
you possess me with simple love,
place becomes time
space becomes mine
and all ways,
like this robe,
green like a country dream
you surround me, and cover me
protect me and Caresse me
with that special simple love,
Sometimes, just drifting,
like a country stream
precious and pure,
I see you smile
asleep to discussion
of this simple word,
the numbness of content
drifting
like a country scene
as I fall back
into softness and sleep
you possess me with
simple love.
You Caresse me with simple love,
you possess me with simple love,
space becomes time,
place becomes mind
and all ways
like this rose
seen like a country stream
you surround me
and comfort me,
protect me
and Caresse me
with that special simple love.

@Brontosaurie

I just looked for originals, the orchids is amazing, perfection, roman p is good, higher and higher diddnt really do it for me. Ill check out mansons musical stuff now i havent checked it out so your assumption was correct, if you know any other soft meaningful stuff like the orchids or just drifting then let me know, can be any band

[Brontosaurie]

@postmasterw00t :D

meaning you'll check the named tracks or the lazy haphazard slap-long-samples-together ones? in any case, while we're at it, you ought to check out charles manson's musical output as well (assuming you haven't)

[postmasterw00t]

@Brontosaurie much love ill check those songs out now

[Brontosaurie]

@postmasterw00t agreed. I don't think p-orridge and the others would condemn or demote you for skipping all the blatant shit tracks consisting of a drum machine track and a manson interview to get to the goodies such as this one, "roman p", "the orchids", "higher and higher" etc.

[forsomereasonIhateu]

This song gave me gas.

@lucifurious23 What did s/he do to you? lol

[davidVbarron]

Anybody know where I can find the B side? the instrumental version?

[davidVbarron]

the music is so beautiful!!

[postmasterw00t]

i love freedom of expression but genesis is pretentious imo, some lovely songs, id rather have an open minded transgender person who maybe a bit pretentious than a normal boring run of the mill loser

[Shinelikealight]

One of the best songs ever.
