I love the vocal version of "Keep Me There." You can tell that Christine is still working everything out -- but it has so much going for it. This was definitely so much more than just a "throw-away" vocal from Chris. And I'm really surprised she never revisited these lyrical ideas.
In fact, wouldn't it be cool if Chris & Lindsey worked out a new song for the upcoming album, from the "Keep Me There" lyrics?
Baby, don't lock me up and throw away the key
Don't leave me in the dark -- I need you here with me
I need you here with me
I meed you here with me
Won't you keep me there?
Don't break this spell I'm in
I couldn't live without it
Don't _________________*
There's nothing I could do about it
There's nothing I could do
There's nothing I could do
Won't you keep me there?
Even if you're lying -- keep it going
Keep it going a little bit longer
You know, you know that I'm trying
Trying to be, oh, a little bit strong
Baby, don't lock me up and throw away the key
Don't leave me in the dark -- I need you here with me
Even though I'm wrong
Even though I'm wrong
Oh, won't you keep me there?
You know that you're lying -- but keep it going
Keep it going a little bit longer
You know, you know that I'm trying
Trying to be, oh, a little bit strong
You know, you know that you're lying
But it keep it going -- keep it going just a little longer
(* I can't make out what she says there... I think she just sort of mumbles something to the melody.)
