From Brisbane, Australia to worldwide success, Messrs. Hayes and Jones were responsible for some of the most widely-known pop songs of the late 90's. Appropiately enough, given their Anne Rice-inspired name, Savage Garden veered between lush ballads ("Truly Madly Deeply", "I Knew I Loved You") and up-tempo dance numbers ("I Want You", "The Animal Song") with a deftness that put many of their contemporaries in the shade. Debut: In July of 1996, under Roadshow Music, the duo released their debut single "‎I Want You." The single was a hit in Australia and became the year's highest-selling by an Australian artist. The success of the single garnered much interest from many U.S.

Tears Of Pearls Lyrics

Savage Garden

And we stare each other down
Like vicitms in the grind
Probing all the weakness
And hurt still left behind and we cry
The tears of pearls
We do it oh we do it
Is love really the tragedy the way you
Might describe
Or would a thousand lovers
Still leave you cold inside
Make you cry
These tears of pearls
Chorus
All these mixed emotions we
Keep locked away like stolen pearls
Stolen pearl devotions we
Keep locked away from all the world
Your kisses are like pearls
So different and so rare
But anger stole the jewels away
And love has left you bare
Made you cry
These tears of pearls
Well I could be the tired joker
Pour my heart to get you in
Sacrifice my happiness
Just so I could win
Maybe cry
These tears of pearls
Chorus
We twist and turn where angels burn
Like fallen soldiers we will learn
That once forgotten twice removed
Love will be the death
The death of you
Repeat chorus
