Vega, Suzanne - Big Space Lyrics






He said you stand in your own shoes
I said I'd rather stand in someone else's
He said you look from your direction
I said I like to keep perspective

Close to the middle of the network
It seems we're looking for a center
What if it turns out to be hollow?
We could be fixing what is broken

Between the pen and the paperwork
There must be passion in the language
Between the muscle and the brain work
There must be feeling in the pipeline

Beyond the duty and the discipline
I know there's anger in a cold place
All feelings fall into the big space
Swept up like garbage on the week-end

Between the pen and the paperwork
There must be passion in the language
Between the muscle and the brain work
There must be feeling in the pipeline

All feeling
Falls into the big space
All feeling
Swept into the
Avenues of angles

Between the pen and the paperwork
I'm sure there's passion in the language
Between the muscle and the brain work
I know there's feeling in the pipeline

    Beautifully poetic.

    This was my favourite song from her "Days of open hand" album, with its haunting
    melody, and carefully crafted lyrics.  This is Suzanne at her best.

    @small blue caramel If you are a big fan of Suzanne, as I am.  You will know thatnone of her songs a superficial run of the mill "Pop Songs"  like most of thegarbage that fills the airwaves today.  All her songs have cleverly crafted lyrics,she writes songs about all kinds of subjects, mostly from experiences in herown life.  Her music moves people intellectually,  that's what Suzanne's musicis all about.  She is a rare, and often unappreciated, Singer/Songwriter.

    @Gary Dunn I totally agree with you , Gary . But my problem with Suzanne's lyrics is that my english level is still average . Since 1987 I'm working with dictionary to translate her songs . I guess it never could allow me to fully understand and appreciate her craft , as an english-speaking-born person is able to . Now , therefore , thanks to the web and especially Youtube , interviews and comments are a very precious help for me .

    I learned English as a 13 year old kid with (among other things) her lyrics ^_^

    Cool little psychedelic groove with intelligent lyrics. Classic Vega!

    I believe she said "between a muscle and a brainwave" (not Brain work). Thanks for posting. Love this track. Check out "Blood Sings" by Suzanne Vega as well.
