Shall we Dancu?

Last night I saw "Shall we Dance?" it was pretty good american remake even though it had JLo in it. *shudders* I still think that the original Japanese film "Shall we Dancu?" is so much better. It has more detail and everything makes more sense, especially within the Japanese culture. (since I know so much about their culture...) You know, I think I'm starting to like Richard Gere movies... scandalous I know. But anyways, there was this song towards the end of the movie that caught my attention. Normally I can't stand songs that have lyrics that are, shall we say, not well crafted - but this song stuck in my mind, now I really like it.

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 ought to give me wedding rings
And I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings
And I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings
You ought to give me wedding rings


Good thing Michael never reads my blog, otherwise he might think I'm *cough* trying to say something *cough*
