#i want you - savage garden

[advictoriams]

Just a conversation I wanna take from Twitter and bring here cause no one's really music snobs around here.

This. I think might actually be (subjectively of course), the best Savage Garden track.

I want you, I don't know if I need you but ooh, I'd die to find out ~

Release: May 27, 1996

Lyrics:

Anytime I need to see your face, I just close my eyes

And I am taken to a place where your crystal mind

And magenta feelings take up shelter in the base of my spine

Sweet like a chic-a-cherry cola

I don't need to try to explain, I just hold on tight

And if it happens again, I might move so slightly

To the arms and the lips and the face of the human cannonball

That I need to, I want to

Well, come stand a little bit closer

Breathe in and get a bit higher

You'll never know what hit you

When I get to you

Ooh, I want you, I don't know if I need you, but

Ooh, I'd die to find out

Ooh, I want you, I don't know if I need you, but

Ooh, I would die to find out

I'm the kind of person who endorses a deep commitment

Getting comfy, getting perfect is what I live for

But a look, then a smell of perfume

It's like I'm down on the floor and I don't know what I'm in for

Conversation has a time and place

In the interaction of a lover and a mate

But the time of talking, using symbols, using words

Can be likened to a deep sea diver

Who is swimming with a raincoat

Well, come stand a little bit closer

Breathe in and get a bit higher

You'll never know what hit you

When I get to you

Ooh, I want you, I don't know if I need you, but

Ooh, I'd die to find out

Ooh, I want you, I don't know if I need you, but

Ooh, I would die to find out

ya, ya

(Ooh, ah) ya, ya

Anytime I need to see your face, I just close my eyes

And I am taken to a place where your crystal mind

And magenta feelings take up shelter in the base of my spine

Sweet like a chic-a-cherry cola

I don't need to try to explain, I just hold on tight

And if it happens again, I might move so slightly

To the arms and the lips and the face of the human cannonball

That I need to, I want to

Ooh, I want you, I don't know if I need you, but

Ooh, I'd die to find out

Ooh, I want you, I don't know if I need you, but

Ooh, I would die to find out (so can we find out?)

Ooh, I want you, I don't know if I need you, but

Ooh, I'd die to find out

Ooh, I want you, I don't know if I need you, but

Ooh, I would die to find out

Songwriter:

Ooh, I want you, I don't know if I need you, but

Ooh, I'd die to find out (I'd die to find out)

Ooh, I want you, I don't know if I need you, but (oh, why can't we find out?)

Ooh, I would die to find out

In relation to this post I just made, here’s a song that I randomly found over twenty years ago from an “Index of” directory of weird songs.  No idea who “Savage Zombie Garden” actually is, and I can’t find even a reference to them anymore anywhere on the Internet.

Surprisingly, the directory was still up until relatively recently, but I can’t find it anymore.  I’m sure I had it bookmarked, and one of the sites I have bookmarked looks familiar, but this song is not there, nor are other songs I know were part of that page, like Bugs Bunny’s hoedown from “Hillbilly Hare”.

Edit: Oh, I found the site (I did have it bookmarked, and it’s not the other site I mentioned above), and, sadly, it’s definitely down.  It used to be here (archive.org link, but none of the MP3s are saved).
