Song : Freed from desire

As a music fan with an interest in Buddhism, I've begun to notice lately that there are a lot of songs that seem to have Buddhist sentiments in them. I'm gonna start posting them on here with the lyrics.
Here's the first: the 90s pop classic Freed From Desire, by Gala. '90s cheese in all its glory, but there's something quite wise about it! Enjoy :-)


Perhaps we should start singing Gala hits in our meditation classes instead of chanting...




My love has got no money He's got his strong beliefs
My love has got no power He's got his strong beliefs
My love has got no fame He's got his strong beliefs
My love has got no money He's got his strong beliefs
Want more and more
People just want more and more
Freedom and love
What he's looking for
Want more and more
People just want more and more
Freedom and love
What he's looking for
Freed from desire Mind and senses purified
Freed from desire Mind and senses purified
Freed from desire Mind and senses purified
Freed from desire
Nanana...
