Another – perhaps – [somato]metaphysical song?

Little Jimmy Scott: «Nothing Compares To You»

Lyrics:

It's been seven hours and fifteen days
Since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away
Since you been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues
`Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

It's been so lonely without you here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me baby where did I go wrong
I could put my arms around every boy I see
But they'd only remind me of you
I went to the doctor n'guess what he told me
Guess what he told me
He said girl you better try have fun
No matter what you do
But he's a fool
`Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

All the flowers that you planted, mama
In the back yard
All died when you went away
I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard
But I'm willing to give it another try
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

Whether this song: »What I Am« [written and performed 1988 by Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians & then also covered by Emma Bunton] is a subtle metaphysical one?

Lyrics:

» What I Am «

I'm not aware of too many things.
I know what I know if you know what I mean.
I'm not aware of too many things.
I know what I know if you know what I mean.

Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box.
Religion is the smile on a dog.

I'm not aware of too many things.
I know what I know if you know what I mean.
Do ya?

Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep.

What I am is what I am,
You're what you are – or what?
What I am is what I am,
You're what you – or what?

I'm not aware of too many things.
I know what I know if you know what I mean.

Philosophy is a walk on the slippery rocks.
Religion is the light in a fog.

I'm not aware of too many things.
I know what I know if you know what I mean.
Do ya?

Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep.
Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep.

What I am is what I am,
You're what you are – or what?
What I am is what I am,
You're what you are – or what?
What I am is what I am,
You're what you are – or what you are.
What I am is what I am,
You're what you are – or what?

Na na na na.
I say, I say, I say.
Do do, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep.

What I am is what I am,
You're what you are – or what?
What I am is what I am,
You're what you are – or what?
What I am is what I am,
You're what you are – or what you are.
What I am is what I am,
You're what you are – or what?

What I am is what I am,
You're what you are – or what?
What I am is what I am,
You're what you are – or what you are.
[Repeat to fade]
