The book of love- peter gabriel

The book of love is long and boring
No one can lift the damn thing
It's full of charts and facts and figures and instructions for dancing

But I..I love it when you read to me
And you..You can read me anything

The book of love has music in it
In fact that's where music comes from
Some of it is just transcendental
Some of it is just really dumb

But I..I love it when you sing to me
And you..You can sing me anything

The book of love is long and boring
And written very long ago
It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes
And things we're all too young to know

But I..I love it when you give me things
And you..You can give me antyhing

The REAL world!!

What do you want from life? Is there any direction? The real world is not like this. You’ll be left behind!

Left behind where?

In the race!

What race?

The race to “success”?

Where is the success?

In the direction they’re all running!

Are you sure?

Yes!

How do you know?

Well, why else will they be running there?

Have you cared to find out?

No, but I know that people who ran were successful!

And the people who didn’t?

They weren’t..

Did u ask them?

No..But they don’t have the same things..

Did they want the same things?

Who doesn’t?

The people who don’t run there and don’t wear themselves out trying. I don’t think success is in that direction. I think it’s in the opposite. So you think I’m being left behind, but you know what, I’m actually the one in front.

Oh my! Should i run with you?

If you wish..

Yes, I want to be in the front!

But is this your direction?

I’m not sure..

Then figure out. Don’t just go running anywhere. You may go too far from your direction.

What if i can never?

You will. If you don’t, walk along every road. See which you find the best.

But then I’ll be left behind!

Once you know where you want to go, you will never be..

But this is your world. That’s not how it is in the REAL world.

My world is just as real as yours.

It’s just an illusion. It will shatter.

Yours isn’t?

No.

How do you know?

Because everyone else agrees!

Tell me, do you dream?

Yes, who doesn’t..

Do you dream about things everyone agrees with?

Not necessarily..

Right before you sleep, do u think about people you ought to think about? Are your thoughts restricted to the accepted norms?

Mostly not..

Do you think your wife is beautiful?

Yes!

I don’t.. Then which one of us is under an illusion?

Do you love her?

Yes, with all my heart.

I don’t think you do. So then, does it matter what i think. What the world thinks? What is it that you want to go by? What you think or what i think and the others think?

I don’t know..

None of us do. And we will never know. It’s not black and white. So run where it is you want to run!
Glide, jump, halt. Do what YOU want to do!
