lyrics
Someone could say: "I don't belong here"
No one could say: "Isn't it all clear?"
I'm blowing a phrase out in the open
Out on the Street, just gimme the heat

I'll suck the flame to me
I'll suck it in, im o.k. I should be

You cut me deep, you know how to do it
my motives are cheap, you know how to do it
so whe do we go, where do we meet
I'll give you my sorrow, you'll give me the heat

I'll suck the flame to me
I'll suck it in

Some erotic feel
keeps coming on
it's so unreal
I come undone
then I look back (I find a frame already built)
when I look back (it's still waiting to be filled)
I find it had
flickered for a minute and then it was gone

Someone could say: "I don't belong here"
Every night, every day, just gimme the heat

Some erotic feel
Keeps coming on
It's so unreal
I come undone
Some shady deal
Despite the black
the light gets in
through every crack
then I look back (I find a frame already built)
when I look back (It's still waiting to be filled)
why is it that (time between and no time left)
why is it not (sweeter than I ever thought)
How can it last (make it last a little more)

I been around the bend
I can't remember when
but my great misery
it means a lot to me
you been around, I know
and me I'm just too slow
I'm craving more and more
Gimme the heat

notes

No less than 11 people played on this song !!! This means 6 more than the usual dEUS line-up. And it isn't useless : with Gimme The Heat, dEUS signed one of their most beautiful songs ever. The longest one, too. More than seven minutes of pure happiness ... It's even longer when they play it live and you really feel that they put a lot from themselves into this masterpiece.

The live and session versions are actually both acoustic versions. The "live" version was recorded during Tom & Craig's acoustic tour in 1997 (at Doornroosje in Nijmegen), and the "session" version during Steve Lamacq's Evening Session on the BBC somewhere in 1997.
