Tea Party, The - The Ubiquitous Mr. Lovegrove Lyrics






"I thought that you had it all, seen it ten times before
thought that you had it made, (??)
I love slow, slow but deep
great temptations wash over me
You build me up, and then tear me down
You play the fool and I play the clown
we keep time to a big slave drum.
You raise my hopes, and then raise the odds
You tell me that I dream too much
and now I'm living in disillusionment
...I don't believe you anymore....
I don't believe you"

    b.... ....

    I wouldn't dare make a suggestion but my first album of theirs had this song on it and many others that I really liked. "Into the Labyrinth" Soak it in from start to finish.

  11. l.... ....

    The last few lines of this song always make me cry like now as I type this.

  12. L.... I....

    This song puts me in a trance.... Brendan Perry's voice is my spirit animal.

    This goes out to the girl who introduced me to the band. You helped me take the proverbial blinders off. You opened my mind up to new experiences, I will always be thankful for that.....Simone....

    *At the Tree of Knowledge with Francisco Gausser* THEATRE' de VAMPIRES
    A poet, celebrity, writer, or musician bares their soul. They are like Adam or Eve in the Garden of Eden. They become tempted by the serpent and soon discover they are naked. It is the only way to get a decent social measurement, though. They all bare their souls and they cannot tell a lie. It's important, therefore, to use as much cookery as possible when writing. They're like the mathematicians and exist in a conceptual area, not of reality or fantasy which allude to the ancient political arguments, while a mathematician alludes to ancient taxation and city planning. Sure, historically based verse exists in a darker corner as does impersonal comedy and tragedy about someone else...it is a fig leaf, at least. You cannot speak or write in a completely 3rd person. It alludes to the writer as a 1st or 2nd person anyway. Thus, remember your pseudonyms, rhetoric, and make-up because they are like clothing.

  17. J.... R....

    Meu corpo não se contém ouvindo esse som...faz parte de mim, me possui.❤

    *The Theologians of Blood*

    I am your
    laissez-faire children
    I am your
    bourgeoisie normal
    I am your noblest
    king villains
    I am immortal!

    Their gifts of blood
    replenish me...

    They're thieving
    daughters
    admonish me...


    I am immortal!
    I am immortal!

    I am their
    revelations imparted
    Their seclusion and
    disappearing
    I am their
    sacrificially departed
    Their delusions and
    sensory appealing

    I am immortal!


    -f. Nienow


     *A Dark Monastery:*

    A Victorian of the
    dead
    skulls, jelly, and
    mud
    strength in
    understanding
    of pathogens and
    diseased blood

    a dark monastery
    a poet’s blood
    nobility…

    digging bodies
    well-consumed
    sycophant's
    sarcophagus
    the idiot-man-child
    repents
    a parent of sheep
    and cats

    skills that never
    ceased to call
    the immortalist
    consumes
    a butcher killing
    takes them all
    their nature's so
    ensued

  25. X.... P....

    My best song

  26. b.... ....

    Dead Can Dance have been an ever present part of my life, always there when I need to escape for a little while.

  27. A.... I....

    I love this song. Dead can dance has so many great pieces and I love to listen to it while I dro. While this is one of my absolute favourites in drives me crazy that I can't name one of the instruments. The one setting in right about 0:06 It sounds like a string instrument played with a bow.. and has a feel close to a Sitar .. but it sounds still so different and Iconic. A lot of Pupculture used it as a cliche in their soundtracks for desert / arabic / orient bits. Can anyone help me out ?

    A.... I....

    Or a really deep and monotonous HerdyGerdy

  28. M.... M....

    Soundtrack to a lost decadence......
    An old slave
    DRUM

    J.... J....

  34. J.... B....

    Such amazing music! Sadly last year we my lost my husband Mike passed suddenly 15.5 yr together! Only 37.When this music is played loudly in our room is like he spings back to life right in front of me!

    J.... B....

    J.... B....

    I'm very sorry for your loss.

  35. S.... S....

  37. R.... M....

    Duvido que alguém goste mais dessa música do que eu.

    Still classic.

  39. M.... H....

    This song is the epitom of Journey in your deep thoughts!

    P.... C....

    *ahem* 2020 here

  44. G.... S....

    my life in a song gave and gave

  45. m.... ....

    I love how they combine elements of both Indian (tanbura and tabla sounds) with Middle Eastern (the shenai sound and melody styles.)

    m.... ....

    minagelina
    Their all sounds from the Emu Proteus 3, a sample playback device of the time: 1993-94

  46. D.... P....

    1994, discovered this wonderful music.

    D.... P....

    Same for me.

  47. k.... p....

    kupiłem tę płytę w pirackim wydaniu w okładce madonny na dworcu w szczecinie,coś do słuchania na drogę.obudzili mnie na białorusi

  48. r.... c....

    un bon gros petard ....et tous va bien ...

  49. C.... P....

    WOW! I've done some really bad! I mean fun stuff listening to this song 20 something years ago...
    This is definitely one of the most erotic songs ever made!
    Into the Labyrinth is definitely up there with Portishead, Morcheeba, Massive Attack, and Tricky
    As far as sexy music goes...

  50. F.... ....

    THE FIRST TIME I HEARD THIS WAS AT A STRIP CLUB...ALL DARK INSIDE...PURPLE LIGHTS... PRETTY EMPTY.... THEN.... THIS SONG COMES ON.... WITH A BEAUTIFUL LADY DANCING TO THIS.... I WAS IN ANOTHER WORLD.... LIKE A DREAM... A MOVIE..... THAT MOMENT WITH THIS SONG PLAYING THROUGHOUT THE SPEAKERS WAS PERFECT...

    F.... ....

    Wow !! They played this at a strip club ??? LOLOL mustabeen a hot dance !! LOL

    F.... ....

    A strip club?! That does not do either this song OR DCD any justice!

  51. t.... ....

    his warm, smooth voice leads me in another place and time

  52. R.... W....

    my mom introduced me to DCD

  53. I.... O....

    kill a lamb make a food

  54. T.... ....

    I believe that this song is about a woman who leads on a man, but ends up rejecting him, read the lyrics with this idea in mind.

    T.... ....

    I've read somewhere that Brendan wrote it about the acrimonious break up with Lisa....

    T.... ....

    Well, it also somewhat summarizes the plot of "The Ubiquitous Mr. Lovegrove" (1965) episode of Danger Man aka Secret Agent. But, don't take my word for it :)

  55. T.... S....

    What a haunting picture

  56. B.... B....

    the living can dance to dead can dance

  57. K.... T....

    But its my temporal space. Who put other obligations into certain laws anyway. Remove transfixed for temporal travel.

  58. K.... X....

    good how i love this one

  59. D.... D....

    quoi dire ???? c'est extase pour ceux qui ont les oreilles!

  60. D.... M....

    I feel sorry for those who cant appreciate DCD and envious of those yet to discover them.

  61. J.... T....

    THE BEST!

    You build me up then you knock me down.
    You play the fool while I play the clown.
    We keep time to the beat of an old slave drum.
    You raise my hopes then you raise the odds
    You tell me that I dream too much
    Now I'm serving time in disillusionment. <3

  62. K.... T....

    What is a domestic graveyard. Is that like...or not.

  63. J.... 2....

    which is the source of the image, please?

  64. G.... S....

    DCD got me through some tough times and many tears....truly vivid, soul penetrating and thought provoking music. I own every album and in these times, I think it's time to queue them up and do some soul searching

  65. P.... p....

    emozione pura

  66. M.... a....

    amazing¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

  67. A.... C....

    This song and Ulysses are my DCD favorite.

    A.... C....

    i agree, and i love cantara, The Arcane, Ocean, In Power We Entrust The Love Advocated and How Fortunate The Man With None as well. idk if you already listened to their new album dionysus, but it is great. it is not like their other records, and can be only compared a bit with spiritchaser. but i love their new sound, cause that means they still love to make music for fun and not with the need of money.

  68. K.... T....

    Jump then whatever

  69. A.... N....

    I thought that you were the one, in darkness, my heart was won.....

  70. �.... �....

    not bed

  71. m.... g....

    This picture is amazing... The song is extra-amazing..

  72. M.... L....

    Timeless track...

  73. W.... I....

    I have found it, again.

  74. A.... ....

    got a massive jim morrison vibe this one

  75. E.... M....

    Hola alguien sabe en que cd esta esta cancion.

  76. R.... O....

    Travis Meeks brought me here. Awesome

  77. O.... P....

    I could be wrong but the year is 1994 when this came out

  78. J.... B....

    excellent

  79. W.... R....

    Brenden Perry’s voice sounds so much like, Jim Morrison, at times that it’s chillingly eerie; but surprisingly comforting.

    W.... R....

    I feel like that about Depeche Mode's Dave Gahan too.

  80. j.... v....

    Going tru it...this music is beautiful and helps smooth the pain..

  81. W.... C....

    This is the stuff of film scores.

    W.... C....

    In fact, the title comes an episode of Danger Man aka Secret Agent.

  82. W.... B....

    When in san Francisco check out club death guild monday nightz

  83. C.... T....

    91X brought me here.

  84. v.... a....

    please, name of image !!

  85. m.... p....

    I feel as though I'm in a trance! Very hypnotic!

  86. J.... A....

    In my deepest and darkest times I listen to the deepest darkest music...Dead can Dance and The Cure

  87. Z.... w....

    O my...after a long relationship breaks down I hear that song here since years...iam listen and iam crying.............

  88. R.... N....

    Great song! I used to dance belly dance with it :)

    R.... N....

  89. P.... P....

    Better than LSD

  90. S.... K....

    Wow haunting music!!!

  91. P.... p....

    sublime

  92. E.... B....

    So much rejected passion by lyrics. Not to mention oh holy damn seductiveness in composition. The song will be forever a must in my music list

  93. K.... S....

    For Anastasia Michele Truex in Hayward California.... I tried my beautiful sweetface girl but could not overcome 26 years of abuse with only 2 years of the truth and with love. I will miss you forever and love you longer still.
