-Sway-

When my family bought our first television back in the late 1997 [in Sydney that is] I discovered 'VideoHits'. It's sort of like an alternative to Aus-MTV. While MTV aired on cable, VideoHits was/still is shown on one of the five normal channels; channel 10. At around that time, one of the top songs were Backstreet Boys - Everybody - which I simply loved, not because of the song, but because of the video clip [I was {and still am} really into vampires, mummies and the whole Halloween shabang]. I witnessed Britney Spears 'Sometimes' hit and stay at number one for six weeks. There came a time when every saturday and sunday the show would end playing 'Sometimes I run, sometimes I hide ... bla bla'

It's here I first heard the song 'Sway' back in 1999, when I was in year 7. I admit, apart from the words Sway my way, I hardly registered anything in my head, but the melody was really nice. I remember the video clip too; a simple clip without a whole lot of shabangs. I remember Runga getting a plastic milk curtain out of a supermarket fridge and head to the counter; where stood the counter-guy who clearly is the one she wanted to sway for her. In total, VideoHits played this song around four times only. That was the end of that. I never heard that song ever again, until yesterday, nearly 7 years later. [Thankss]. It makes more sense now that I hear it. Very nice song, very nice ... I'll post the lyric ... Courtesy of her official website ... http://www.bicrunga.com/precious/thing.html

Sway- Bic Runga

Don't stray
Don't ever go away
I should be much too smart for this
You know it gets the better
Of me
Sometimes
When you and I collide
I fall into an ocean of you
Pull me out in time
Don't let me drown
Let me down
I say it's all because of you
And here I bujhle
Go
Losing my
Control
I'm practising your name
So I can say it
To your face it doesn't
Seem right
To look you in the eye
And let all the things
You mean to me
Come tumbling out my mouth
Indeed it's time
Tell you why
I say it's
Infinitely true
Say you'll stay
Don't come and go
Like you do
Sway my way
Yeah I need to know
All about you
And there's no cure
And no way to be sure
Why everythings turned inside out
Instilling so much doubt
It makes me so tired
I feel so uninspired
My head is battling with my heart
My logic has been torn apart
And now
It all turns sour
Come sweeten
Every afternoon
Say you'll stay
Don't come and go
Like you do
Sway my way
Yeah I need to know
All about you
Say you'll Stay
Don't come and go
Like you do
Sway my way
Yeah I need to know
All about you
Its all because of you
Its all because of you
Now it all turns sour
Come sweeten
Every afternoon
It's time
Tell you why
I say it's
Infinitely true
Say you'll stay
