If There Was Love lyrics
by Liza Minnelli
Men of affairs, women with powerSatellites talking, to clatter our livesBanks of predictions, policies madeProphecies broken, violence deranged (deranged, deranged)And if there was love, would that be enough?And if there was love, would that be enough?Pollsters and planners, incredibly sadindelibly inking, their names across our livesIndividual freedom, intrinsically curbedInspiration nil, slavery tenAnd if there was love, would that be enough?And if there was love, would that be enough?And if there was love, would that be enough?And if there was love, would that be enough?I've been working for a long timeScattering smilesMust I swallow my pride?There's a hole in the sky, as distant and vastAs our moral vacuum, and growing as fastAnd if there was love, would that be enough?And if there was love, would that be enough?And if there was love, would that be enough?And if there was love, would that be enough?"They that have power to hurt and will do none,That do not do the thing they most do show,Who, moving others, are themselves as stone,Unmoved, cold and to temptation slow;They rightly do inherit heaven's gracesAnd husband nature's riches from expense;They are the lords and owners of their faces,Others but stewards of their excellence.The summer's flower is to the summer sweet,Though to itself it only live and die,But if that flower with base infection meet,The basest weed outbraves his dignity:For sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds;Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds."[W. Shakespeare, Sonnet 94](Transcribed by Naughty Boy merkur@entelchile.net)
