Sailin' away on the crest of a wave, it's like magic Oh, rollin' and ridin' and slippin' and slidin', it's magic And you and your sweet desire You took me, oh (higher and higher, baby) It's a livin' thing It's a terrible thing to lose It's a givin' thing What a terrible thing to lose I'm takin' a dive Dive Makin' believe this is what you've conceived From your worst day (I'm takin' a dive) Oh, movin' in line, then you look back in time To the first day (I'm takin', I'm takin') And you and your sweet desire (don't you do it, don't you do it) You took me, oh (higher and higher, baby) It's a livin' thing It's a terrible thing to lose It's a givin' thing What a terrible thing to lose I'm takin' a dive All the same Hey Takin' a dive, 'cause you can't halt the slide Floating downstream (I'm takin' a dive) Oh, so let her go, don't start spoiling the show It's a bad dream (I'm takin', I'm takin') And you and your sweet desire (don't you do it, don't you do it) You took me, oh (higher and higher, baby) It's a livin' thing It's a terrible thing to lose It's a givin' thing What a terrible thing to lose It's a livin' thing It's a terrible thing to lose It's a givin' thing
Would love to know if it was Jeff or Louis that came up with the chorus violins “stinger” at 1:04 that is (in my opinion) the audible touchtone of the song.
Sailin' away on the crest of a wave, it's like magic
Oh, rollin' and ridin' and slippin' and slidin', it's magic
And you and your sweet desire
You took me, oh (higher and higher, baby)
It's a livin' thing
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a givin' thing
What a terrible thing to lose
I'm takin' a dive
Dive
Makin' believe this is what you've conceived
From your worst day (I'm takin' a dive)
Oh, movin' in line, then you look back in time
To the first day (I'm takin', I'm takin')
And you and your sweet desire (don't you do it, don't you do it)
You took me, oh (higher and higher, baby)
It's a livin' thing
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a givin' thing
What a terrible thing to lose
I'm takin' a dive
All the same
Hey
Takin' a dive, 'cause you can't halt the slide
Floating downstream (I'm takin' a dive)
Oh, so let her go, don't start spoiling the show
It's a bad dream (I'm takin', I'm takin')
And you and your sweet desire (don't you do it, don't you do it)
You took me, oh (higher and higher, baby)
It's a livin' thing
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a givin' thing
What a terrible thing to lose
It's a livin' thing
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a givin' thing
kick-ass!
Oh dear that sounds good, it's like hearing it for the first time again.
Amazing the way you achieve these instrumentals. Bravo!
You’ve got really good taste in music… just sayin’ 😄
