On Obsession Lyrics by Peter Blegvad

King Strut and Other Stories

1990

If I cannot stake a claim
If I stammer when I say your name
You can put it down to shame
Shame of my obsession
Maybe I am nothing more
To you than I was before
But you have touched the very core
The core of my obsession
Obsessed with you
The best of you
The worst and all the rest of you
I am cursed and blessed with you
You are my obsession
To say that it was all in fun
Cannot undo what we have done
So finish what you have begun
Surrender to obsession
You came from the South like a lamb to the slaughter
Your name in my mouth quenches thirst like water
The Beast becomes more bestial
Stars seem more celestial
And you become more beautiful
Though I'm dammed if I understand
How that's possible
How can I be both weak and strong
Completely right, and still so wrong?
I can't explain it in a song
Blame it on obsession
