      It lies beyond the farthest sea,
      This castle whereonto I flee
      When life and time hang wearily.
      Yet though so far, 'tis strangely nigh:
      Within the breathing of a sigh
      One gains the walls secure and high
      Of the castle of dreams.
      Divinely beautiful and great,
      Of pearl each dome and tower, and gate,
      It stands, a hold of kingly state.
      There gyving Time and Space are not,
      And cares of Life are all forgot.
      No breath of restless change is brought
      To the Castle of Dreams.
      I walk each wondrous court and hall,
      Their varied treasures mine at call,
      For there I am the lord af all.
      If gold and gems of land and sea,
      And broad estates were offered me,
      I would not take them for the key
      Of the Castle of Dreams.

    In for the kill
    "Jackson explained this '80s-derived song to Steve Harris of XFM radio: "It's about telling someone how you feel regardless of what you get back, and not waiting to find out if they want you or not." She added that when she wrote this, "I was quite in to someone in quite a deep and intense way and I went overseas (Paris) and told them I like them. It all fired back in my face but that's not the point you do it for yourself.""

    We can fight our desires
    But when we start making fires
    We get ever so hot
    Whether we like it or not
    They say we can love who we trust
    But what is love without lust?
    Two hearts with accurate devotions
    And what are feelings without emotions?
    I'm going in for the kill
    I'm doing it for a thrill
    Oh I'm hoping you'll understand
    And not let go of my hand
    (x2)
    I hang my hopes out on the line
    Will they be ready for you in time
    If you leave them out too long
    They'll be withered by the sun
    Full stops and exclamation marks
    My words stumble before I start
    How far can you send emotions?
    Can this bridge cross the ocean?
    I'm going in for the kill
    I'm doing it for a thrill
    Oh I'm hoping you'll understand
    And not let go of my hand
    (x2)
