Armatrading, Joan - Save Me Lyrics
Sinking
Caught up in a whirling motion
Such a strange sensation
The currents uncertain
Like sails of a mill
Like wheels I move in a circle
While you stand on the bank
Immune or evasive
Throw me a lifeline
Save me...
Intimacy and affection
Frozen
In this game of chance
I forfeit
With no counters
Like a moth
With no flame
To persuade me
Like blood in the rain
Running thin
While you stand on the inside
Looking in
Save me...
Inside looking in
Complete in yourself
Throw me a lifeline
Save me...
Stand on the bank
Immune or evasive
Throw me a lifeline
Save me...

Armatrading, Joan Save Me Comments
Unbelievably good - class
I think only her vocal can work for this song such emotion in her voice amazing
Never mind all your bullshit TV shows. Listen to the song FFS. Im a film director and producer. We know how to manipulate people. Listen to the song. Forget everything else.
Not too many people like OZ , but it will 4ever be one of my favorite shows
Also really good song
This song reminds me of man utd!
The producing on this song is flawless!
My best friends favorite song. She was always talking suicide. She had endured years of abuse as a child from her dad. She and I were very close friends and worked at the same hoapital ER. Tho depressed she and I laughed alot but I knew someday her talk of suicide would be more than that. She was found in her car dead from a gunshot wound to her head. She was only 27. That was 1983. I miss her. I tried but couldnt save her.
I'm sorry mate... Love from the UK.
26 people gave out candy corn for halloween
Proper.
Saw her last week in Brighton still fabulous x
Awesome...as is entire album
One of the best songs ever written or sung. Superb.
Adjectives really fail to do justice to the strength of this song. Its poignancy is so pervasive and so debilitatingly truthful. It speaks a story that almost anyone can identify as being one of their own experiences.
This so is electrifying. I can feel it.
Like blood in the rain,, running thin
مسلسل اوز 👏🏻👍🏻🤞🏻🤘🏻 رهييييب جداً ونهايه رهيبه وكل شي رهيب في ذا المسلسل الا اللقطات الشاذه لكن هذا واقع السجون 🙌🏻
So beautiful and so true you can be in a relationship and they don’t know who you are save me inside x
This song made a fan of Joan for life.

this and "You've got someone who loves you" breaks me up....
CIRIL O'REILLY OZ
Is there a live version of this song anywhere?
Hi Simone. have you ever heard Joan's first album "Whatevers for Us." From 1971 if i remember rightly, but THE most powerful, honest,and intimate songs of hers. Mostly Joan didn't write them, but oh .
I've always loved Joan. This generation could use her.
This is so painful it's almost unbearable.
thete is a song of Joans that starts out:
" take it from me, Im a woman who knows..."
i cant find it. this song, you can feel her pain, so real!
it just smashed me. please, anyone know its title?
first heard it via LP, yet, cant find it in my collection.
anyone????
id so appteciate it. was atypical for Joan. But powerful!!!!
thanks!!!
is it the heart asking the brain? the soul speaking to the heart?
one speaking to the other?
love it@
ps) thanks
love Joan! tryimg to find a song she did that starts out:
" take it from me, Im a woman who knows..."
it blew me awsy!
one of the three saddest and most beautiful sad songs ever, along with the Night by Morphine, and Asleep by the Smiths. Joan is incredible.
Joan came to NZ and sang after she was very ill with surgery. Strong woman, and this is one of her best songs alongside Love and Affection.
Fell in love with this song 40 years ago. Still one of my faves of this phenomenally gifted and original songstress.
So beautifully crafted
Wonderful song
Incredible lady. Mega talented and under rated
Makes me cry. Like blood in the rain, running thin....
oh Hemi...you romantic!
Come non amarla,è meravigliosa!
Good music
one of the best songs recorded/written by any artist - lovely to hear it.
The O'Reilly brothers <3 OZ <3
Cyril O'Reilly... OZ... The best tv show ever.
To the Limit , is an album I enjoy the most by Joan ..
Indeed one of the best. I have some live recordings from Joan. This song is very rare on them......a pity!
A Day in the Death...maybe one of the best and saddest episodes what I have ever watched
Thank You for making this soundtrack . I absolutely love this women
Great song..Oz brought me here but this song touches me...
Me too. I love that show. I'm watching it now
so. incredibly. beautiful.
touches my heart
So Real So Sad
i lov tenn tha
e all your songs, you ar so feeling, about your sool, i love your Heart.
I bow down to you! Thank you so much!! A lifelong fan. See you in OCt. Thanks for coming to Madison, WI!!

This song kills me. Such majesty simplicity and ache….
+Natascia Diaz The descriptive words you use are perfect - uncannily perfect.
I'm crying to it right now.

beautiful!! K
One of my favourite songs so pleased others love it to ,
'Like blood in the rain running thin. While you stand on the inside looking in'. Her lyrics are always so spot on without that pretentious bs that so many artists fall into. She's such an important artist. I can't wait to see her.
An important artist, I like that. Your so right.

I was smashed up and never thought I would ever be functional again.Life puts people back together.Joan Armatrading's music intensely resonated with my walking disaster of a life at that time
Roy Batty: All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain
like a moth, with no flame to persuade me
Beautiful, haunting, brilliant. Speaks to me in so many ways about my life right now. Thank you for sharing.
very few, but some songs, are so profound as to speak to the depths of one's soul, decade after decade. The people's names change, the places, the situations, the colors, but the same existential vulnerability remains and she nailed it all the way back then-- proving once again that Time is not part of Space as Einstein postulated. All feeling of this sort, this song's sort, is forever NOW.
Hi Simone, this link would not work for me. However, from the photo, and the face, and i know you know from experience thst things must change.
Had things not changed for me through you i would not be once again on the road to fulfilment. Those times before then that vulnerabilitycould not be ever more present.
Beautifully written
Three years later the song still remains all the things you explain, This song the best insight of love lost or what could have been and more "like a moth with no flame to persuade it" It's perhaps about our potential life also "save me"!! Still makes my cry.
Agree completely!
You said it perfectly, and I agree with you, I also think that all of us who love Joan and her music somehow share that feeling. Don't you think?
was there in 2007 paradiso way out there this woman is underrated
OZ is best
commercial every btw every song.. but Joan's fab
This song was used so amazingly in Oz
Joan sold many albums in 70s 80s, but unfortunately will never get the REAL recognition she merits, no-one has ever got close to the emotions she gives those lucky enough to have listened to her. wonderful.
I agree. Joan and Joni... No one can touch their lyrics and musicality.
She touches your heart emotionally, I have always loved her. Had her vinyls back in the day...bought my first one when i was in Ireland back in the 70's visiting my grandparents...
@Jeff Blythe Joan and Joni. You said it.
Cyril O'Reilly's first execution that got called off last minute in "Oz"...incredible scene
so amazing
Cyril O'Reily!! :(
Thanks to all cast for this show. We will never forget you #OZ
And to you for posting it !
Thank you! :)
She is The Voice, but if she was on The Voice today, I do not think she would win The Voice, because she is too great, too much of an artist, too unique, too inspiring. And some people would say she was not as good as the inferior talent that won.
thankyou joan
sublime
I saw her last year at the o2 in London, It was so amazing. She sounded exactly the same as on a record, she is pure talent. Love this song thanks for uploading.
I am an atheist but good luck anyway. ;)
It warms my heart to see all these loving replies to my clip. Thank you all and especially thanks to Mss Armatrading :-)
Did your angel make it on time? :)
R.I.P Cyril =(
I'm coming OZ.I very cried for Cyril O'reilly :(
Praying for all of us who cry to be saved from samsara, this prison of darkness. Let us all be shown the truth about our Creator's love for us quickly and irrefutably. Help us renew this planet and its inhabitants to the garden You intended us to inhabit. Reverse the effects of our quarantine quickly aid us to full connection with the light and love of the heavens shine it upon us now I pray. We claim our relationship with your light. Let it be so; as above so below. Peace for all. Laura
joan u r wonderful!
I heard 'Love & Affection' when it was released in 76...and it took me some time to find out who it was...This song soon became one of my favorites from that incredible album.
It was used during Cyril's execution in the tv series OZ
Yea got to agree the scene in OZ with this track fits perfectly. Such a beautiful piece of music. She is playing in Canterbury i October. Has to be done!
Dame Joan Armatrading. It will happen.
it reminds me of a beautiful Norse song
So beautiful
Brilliant. I can't play it too much either. She is unique. Save me too.
Thumbs up if Cyril O'Reilley from Oz brought you here!
hard to top this for beautiful sad songs, heartbreaking, I can only listen to it once in a great while, startin to tear up now! Joan is awesome. definitely one of her best songs, shame more people don't know about her, still touring too!
Rip Cyril
@taragreenaurora but real to many; life is like this sometimes. Fantastic woman!
such a beautiful song,,such an astonishing songwriter
i hear more then music in this song! its so strong! love it! so magic!!!
@TheHotZ If you feel you're love is slipping away from you...
@Govanmauler Yes, or about to break a heart ;-)
@taragreenaurora I hear this song was a part of a TV-serie. It was never broadcasted over here so I can't disagree :-)
@aspiva4 You're very welcome :-)
i cant believe i never heard this. xoxoxo thanks
heartbreaking
