Embrace - Love Is A Basic Need Lyrics






I'm on an island water won't reach
A titanic diamond under the sea
Don't you be frightened I know we're in deep

The root of all evil has flowers it feeds
That grow through the pavement and break the concrete
Only to die there under your feet

And I know everything you want cause it's everything I'm not
And you're everything I'm never gonna be

Only love s a basic need

Like a volcano throws rocks in the sea
Your straight and narrow looks twisted to me
The fruit on its branches is out of my reach

I'm like an alien I only want peace
Drop all your weapons they're useless on me
Like air and shelter your love is a need

And I know everything you want cause it's everything I'm not
And you're everything I'm never gonna be
And I'd give everything I've got if I'd anything you want
but I've everything you're never gonna need

Only love is a basic need

    I’ve been a fan since the beginning, in my humble opinion, they’re the most underrated English band of all time.

  3. U.... ....

    Only to die there under your feet
    And I know everything you want cause it's everything I'm not
    And you're everything I'm never gonna be
    Only love s a basic need
    Like a volcano throws rocks in the sea
    Your straight and narrow looks twisted to me
    The fruit on its branches is out of my reach
    I'm like an alien I only want peace

    If they get to The 02 Arena, or Wembley Arena, with this albums tour it will be a very easy yes for me.

  36. T.... S....

    5min20 onwards.. great. Not there best crafted effort

  37. S.... s....

    👍👍👍

  38. V.... R....

    These guys always write anthems. What a beautiful song, sung by a beautiful voice. I love their music and wish they could get more recognition for their brilliant songs.

  39. J.... H....

    Just amazing 🎶

  40. D.... D....

    And what are you guys doing to obtain this raw basic need since the only one source of that is Jesus Christ?

    D.... D....

    Deyan Delchev Welcome to the church of Embrace

  41. M.... B....

    Great!!

  42. B.... ....

    Embrace is already a band...a better band. These guys should change their name before they become the "bad Embrace."

    B.... ....

    B.... ....

    The UK Embrace have been active since 1990, so it's a bit late to make such an irrelevant point, and they sure ain't the only band with the same name as an other, regardless of how irrelevant the other are

  43. m.... g....

    Epic...

  44. k.... b....

    Seems a step back from the last album which sounded fresh.this is a bit dull.

    k.... b....

    Jeff McNamara doubt i'l buy the album.

    k.... b....

    Jeff McNamara, if you're so disappointed in their new material why do you keep watching the videos and flooding every comments section with your opinions. You're entitled to your opinion but you don't have to keep banging on about it. Yes, the new album certainly won't be their best album but I still think it will be good, and although their last album was pretty good it wasn't in the same league as The Good Will Out!

    k.... b....

    Well I like it ....sounds great guys.

    k.... b....

    Marcus Holley Maybe coz he wants to give the feedback, hoping that the band will rediscover their innovative streak that was evident on 'Embrace'. I tend to agree this sounds good but it's a retread (excuse the pun) and you got to wonder where do they go from here?

  45. n.... r....

    BRIGHOUSE LADS AT THERE BEST

  46. J.... W....

    Embrace, Embrace.

  47. C.... l....

    This band are unbeatable. Alot different from last album but still amazing just get better and better.
    Can't wait to see them live again!!🎸🎹🎶🎤

  48. R.... E....

    La estaba esperando desde hace mucho , va a hacer una de mis preferidas de este disco

    R.... E....

    Me encantó este disco, paracticamente todas me gustaron y es raro hoy dia, si me gustan 2 canciones de los discos que sacan los grupos hoy, ya es mucho. Y estos es como que volvieron al clasico estilo de finales de lo 90s que fue su mejor epoca y retornaron a esa escencia. Muy bueno !

  49. C.... s....

    Great track

  50. N.... Z....

    I LOVE THIS!!! Heard on the radio on October and was waiting so long time for it!!!
