As is often the case with Ferry’s original material, “Loop De Li” had been in a limbo since 1990, when it was originally demoed during the Horoscope Sessions. Its original title was “Your Love Has Died”.
“Loop De Li” gets its title from a children’s tune and makes reference to the vicious cycle all...
You wake up, where are you?
What's on your mind?
Confusion - can't face it
You close your eyes
There's no one to turn to
Nowhere to hide
Deep river, cool water
Your love has died
Well I know and you know
We're killing time
We're on an up and down see-saw
Loop de li
And so you cry
Sweet hatred
Tastes bitter
Loop de li
Ambition, no telling
What's on your mind
Hatred
Bitter
Loop de li
Well I know you and you know
We're killing time
We're on an up and down see-saw
Loop de li
You're watching and waiting
You walk on by
Delusion, you're drowning
You wonder why
Ambition, no telling
What's on your mind?
Sweet hatred
Tastes bitter
Loop de li
Hatred, bitter
Hatred, bitter
Hatred, bitter
Hatred, bitter
Loop de li
