Livin' Thing Lyrics
Sailin' away on the crest of a waveIt's like magicRollin' and ridin' and slippin' & slidingIt's magic
CHORUSAnd you, and your sweet desire,You took me, ohhh higher and higher baby,It's a livin' thing,It's a terrible thing to loseIt's a given thingWhat a terrible thing to lose.
I'm takin' a dive. (echo)
Making believe this is what you've conceivedFrom your worst day, I'm takin a diveMoving in line when you look back in timeTothe first day, I'm taken I'm taken
And you and your sweet desire,Don't you do it , don't you do it,Taking me ohh,higher and higher babyIt's a living thing,It's a terrible thing to lose,It's a given thingWhat a terrible thing to lose
I'm takin a dive.
Takin' a dive 'cos you can't halt the slideFloating downstream, I'm takin a diveSo let her go don't start spoiling the showIt's a bad dream, I'm taken , I'm taken
And you and your sweet desireDon't you do it , don't you do itTaking me higher and higher baby
It's a livin' thing,It's a terrible thing to loseIt's a given thingWhat a terrible thing to lose.(x2)

I only became aware of this album just now:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJkB33JQfe4
"Released in 1993 on Rykodisc. It was released as a benefit album, with proceeds going to support NARAL, the Brooklyn Women's Anti-Rape Exchange, and Women's Health Action and Mobilization."
Chilling to hear the cover of the Beatles' "She Said She Said" in this context, specifically "She said / 'I know what it's like to be dead'"

xp most of them are (or are related to the causes they benefit), but something like the Tom Waits song that later appeared on Mule Variations seems to be unrelated.

"National Acrobat" by Black Sabbath has a line about an unborn child, though I have no idea what they say about it.
Think this song is specifically about reincarnation.

The opening lyrics to Daniel Johnston's "Fate Will Get Done" are "Time flies when you're having fun/aborted babies are the lucky ones." Haven't heard that song in like 25 years, but that couplet has really stuck with me.
