Marc Almond - Something's Gotten Hold Of My Heart 2016

Original by Gene Pitney 1967, together with Marc Almond in 1988

Something's gotten hold of my heart
Keeping my soul and my senses apart
Something's gotten into my life
Cutting its way through my dreams like a knife
Turning me up, turning me down
Making me smile, making me frown

In a world that was war
I once lived in a time
That was peace with no trouble at all
But then you, you, you, you came my way
And a feeling I know shook my heart
And made me want you to stay
All of my nights and all of my days

I wanna tell you now
Something's gotten hold of my hand
Dragging my soul to a beautiful land
Something's invaded my night
Painting my sleep with a colour so bright
Changing the grey, changing the blue
Scarlet for me, scarlet for you

In a world that was war
I once lived in a time
That was peace with no trouble at all
But then you, you, you, you came my way
And a feeling I know shook my heart
And made me want you to stay
All of my nights and all of my days

I wanna tell you now
Something's gotten hold of my heart
Keeping my soul and my senses apart
Something's invaded my night
Painting my sleep with a colour so bright
Changing the grey, changing the blue
Scarlet for me, scarlet for you
