Gimme Back lyrics

Song information

Artist: Mike Oldfield
Album: Heaven's Open

Lyrics

(Gimme back) I need my hands
(Gimme back) I want my feet
(Gimme back) give me my soul
I'm incomplete

(Gimme back) I need my eyes
(Gimme back) I want my teeth
(Gimme back) gimme my scope
Give me my beliefs

[ chorus ]

Oh, here I hang on this - hook, line and sinker
Don't take the skin off my fingers!

(Gimme back) I need my arms
(Gimme back) my back is bent
(Gimme back) I want my hope
I'm deficient

(Gimme back) I need my blood
(Gimme back) I want my space
(Gimme back) gimme my dream
I rest my case

[ repeat chorus ]

Like a fire without a flame
Desert with no rain

(Gimme back) I need my face
(Gimme back) I want my beat
(Gimme back) gimme my pulse
I'm in retreat

(Gimme back) I need my hair
(Gimme back) I want my voice
(Gimme back) gimme my vision
Gimme back my choice

[ repeat chorus ]

Like a fire without a flame
Desert with no rain

Oh, mountain high
I'm in so deep
Look down, look down on i
Take these chains from off my feet

I'm a fire without a flame
Desert with no rain

I want my beat
I'm incomplete
I want my face
I rest my case
