The Longing Lyrics


In each heart there is a longing
In each soul a desperate cry
To know if life for some true meaning
Or do we simply live an' die
Earthly pleasures and possessions
Leave the sinking spirit dry
In each heart there is a longing
Only Jesus satisfies
In each life there comes the question
Is there more than meets the eye
And what will we see of the eternal
When the well of days run dry?
So we search with so few finding
The difference between truth and lies
While in each heart there is a longing
Only Jesus satisfies
Mystery on a hillside

The purest love expressed
Guilty lips cry forgive me
In that moment I found rest
So we search with so few finding
The difference between truth and lies
While in each heart there is a longing
Only Jesus satisfies
While in each heart there is a longing
Only Jesus satisfies

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

A neglected part of the Factory Records scene, the Stockholm Monsters are a key link between the bristly art-funk of A Certain Ratio and the good-foot indie dance vibe of Happy Mondays and the other Manchester bands of the late '80s. Often seen merely as New Order proteges (Peter Hook produced all but one of their records) and victims of both record company indifference and unnecessary potshots by the cynical British music press, the Stockholm Monsters deserved better treatment than they usually got.
