Redeem Me - Marc Almond

Don’t miss the me I used to be

Don’t miss the wild depravity

Perfumes and powders in my nose

The feeling of those leather clothes

The me I was I never lost, just took a little time to see

Don’t miss the places that I’ve been

Don’t miss the people that I’ve seen

The making love on

While planning revolutions, breaking resolutions

And now it all seems like a dream

There’s a hammer, hear some voices singing

Bells are ringing in the still of the night

I want that music to soothe all my bruises

Turn darkness into light

I need some beauty in my life

I’m tired of trouble, tired of strive

To dig for diamonds, dive for pearls

Beauty will redeem the

Beauty will redeem the world

There were times I would’ve been outrageous

There were moments, it seemed too

I danced my way through subterranean sellers

Chasing stars up alley ways

doorways

Covered in glitter

Falling in and out of clubs and bars

It’s not too far to fall to the gutter from the stars

There’s a hammer, hear some voices singing

Bells are ringing in the still of the night

I want that music to soothe all my bruises

Turn darkness into light

I need some beauty in my life

I’m tired of trouble, tired of strive

To dig for diamonds, dive for pearls

Beauty will redeem me

I need some beauty in my life

I’m tired of trouble, tired of strive

To dig for diamonds, dive for pearls

Beauty will redeem the world

Beauty will redeem the world

Beauty will redeem me

Beauty will redeem me

Beauty will redeem me

Redeem me

Don’t miss the me I used to be

It takes the strangest things to see

But in my heart, I’m the same man

The me I was, the me I am
