Dexys Midnight Runners - Let's Make This Precious Lyrics






Pure, this must be, it has to be.
Pure, let's make this pure,
(Do you mean it?) Yes I do,
(Then let's sing it) Certainly, but
First bare your hearts and cleanse your souls
(And then?) Let's try and make this precious, like this.
Let's make this precious.
We're striving over here
(Ever nearer?) I think so
(Visions clearer) of course, of course.
But still we must forsake all to win
(All temptation?) everything (for salvation?) now you're talking
Then let this apply to all we do
(And then?) Our striving will guide us
And somehow I think that we'll win.
Let's make this precious,
First let's hear somebody sing me a record
That cries pure and true.
No not those guitars. They're too noisy and crude.
The kind that convinces refuses to leave,
There's no need to turn it up.
If it's pure I'll feel it from here
Let's make this precious, (I think we probably will)
Let's make this precious, (I think we probably will)

    In my country (U.S.) Dexy Midntight Runners were a 1 hit wonder band with Come on Eileen. I recently discover other music by them on Spotify and absolutely love much of their catalog. Make music great again! Love their use of horns and Kevin's vocal delivery is so very unique.

  10. P.... M....

    Audience on some powerful somnambulant.

  37. y.... t....

    best dexys song

  38. b.... h....

    Fucking incredible

  39. a.... ....

    I'll always admire the stance of Kevin Rowland. Purity before all else. Musicality before fame..oh, and don't forget, ooooooohhhhhhhh, lets make this precious!

  40. s.... s....

    FYI. It isn't Lundun Bridge or Tower Bridge, the're harping on about! It could be the one, over the cut, down Smerrick way!

  41. s.... s....

    What's all this Lundun fixation? I was on the front row of the tour, at the Hippodrome, Birmingham, no cant, was sat down there.
    Especially, when they fanned the flames and crossed the bridge!

  42. j.... ....

    Someone please give that 1 voter a computer and an internet connection please asap.

  43. A.... J....

    Had to be there to get it. No one likes to dance more than I do. The shows had a personal feel. Intimacy. A different sort of emotion. When you put the record on at home or hear it at a party that's different. No pretence in my opinion.

  44. T.... ....

    This is incredible. One of the best live performances EVER and one of the worst crowd reactions ever

    T.... ....

    I agree with the first half of that. Absolutely amazing performance.

  45. H.... ....

    from my 2016 point of view "searching for the young.." is the best aged pop record from that time, still fresh after all these years and that didn't happen to much of the stuff from back then, they played so fucking tight and powerfull... and yeah i know that this track is a bit later ;)

  46. I.... m....

    Best band ever

  47. j.... ....

    No words can explain this...

  48. A.... A....

    Even like the second incarnation of Dexy's but why lose the horn section ? it worked in this ......

  49. I.... m....

    Brilliant musicians. :)

  50. J.... R....

    Pure
    This must be
    It has to be!
    Go Kevin go.
    Such heart
    Misunderstood soul

  51. S.... J....

    Pretty good live band.

  52. A.... J....

    Actually security would escort you from the front if you left your seat to stand in front of the band. Learn your Dexys then start calling their followers names.

    A.... J....

    Andy J Grace well said that man !

    A.... J....

    Gatekeeper.

  53. A.... J....

    Incidentally the band chose all seater venues so people would listen instead of jumping about. They mentioned it in all their publicity. That's why everyone respected them until their finale songs

    A.... J....

    Andy J Grace This was 80s pretention and arrogance in a nutshell....I was a child them and I'm glad because I only saw them on tv and I DANCED....How could you go to a gig with music like theirs and NOT dance?..just because of their egotism?

  54. A.... J....

    The inimitable force that is Kevin Rowland. And so much more.

  55. J.... A....

    Tre Fucking Mendous,,

  56. J.... J....

    Look at the effort they're making , its rockin , and all these cunts just fuckin sitting there !!!

    J.... J....

    the crowd doesnt know how to bang their brains out in that time,,

    J.... J....

    they just want to hear come on eileen

    J.... J....

    It's in a theatre, what do you expect?

    J.... J....

    It's a big band

    J.... J....

    nem o Bruce spring. .....

  57. D.... J....

    That bass really gets me pumping

  58. S.... M....

  59. G.... S....

    4.33 :) :) that music wow

    G.... S....

    +Eileen Dillon yes    4.33 dats wot u call music

    G.... S....

    +Eileen Dillon 4'33" Like John Cage?

  60. S.... ....

    Is that Mick Gallick/'Giorgio Kilkenny' on bass here?

    S.... ....

    i believe it was John "Rhino" Edwards (now status Quo) on bass

  61. F.... ....

    Friggin' genius anno 1982. I never got to see this then when it was just pure glorious transcendence. Wrong side of the friggin wall I was.

  62. m.... ....

    I loved them when I was a child and I still do. I totally fell in love with this song! :)

    m.... ....

    i wish i could see them in concert someday.

  64. j.... ....

    The kind that convinces, refuses to leave!

  65. J.... R....

    Big Jim Paterson not on trombone here :-(

  66. D.... O....

    Strangely lifeless audience. They must be shocked at how good it is

  67. D.... O....

    Unspeakably wonderful

    D.... O....

    The irrepleceable beauty and emotion of a real brass section, and violins too. So much humanity in this.

  68. j.... k....

    久しぶりに聴いたなぁ(^-^)/

  69. H.... ....

    Can't stand that I'll never be able to go to a Dexy's concert like this!! Born too late.

    H.... ....

    Still tourong

  70. l.... ....

    Do you mean it? YES I DO!

  71. J.... M....

  72. O.... U....

    Una "chimba" de hermosura.

  73. j.... ....

    Legendary concert and a wonderful place to perform, too! Saw Petula Clark and Kim Wilde live in an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical there, a true London HIGHLIGHT.

  74. L.... t....

    Great genius.
    great musicians.

  75. A.... T....

    Pure sonic Heaven!

  76. S.... ....

    John Rhino Edwards !

  77. B.... B....

    i'm not too fond of how the crowd is just sitting there, but perhaps that was just how most shows were done at the time. nonetheless, brilliant show done by everyone in the band.

  78. E.... P....

    fantastici...

  79. L.... ....
