Erasure - Crown Of Thorns Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Fire of the sun
Flowers crumble into dust
The seed shall scatter and die
Light in her eyes
Pours black on their lives
We gather round a funeral pyre
And here we stand
In old England's land
Shattered glass on the ground
There are no words
To console this earth
To restore old England's pride

Never in a million or so years
Did we suffer so much bloodshed

Here comes the man
With the warm and gentle hands
Her name burned into his brow
Scorn in her eyes
Her back to the cries
We spit upon the life
That never was
And here we stand
In old England's land
The rose is choked by its thorn
She will cast salt for your wound
Old England wears no crown

Never in a million or so years
Did we suffer so much bloodshed

Never in a million or so years
We didn't want to hurt you
But it's not over yet
No never in a million or so years
Did we suffer so much bloodshed

Erasure - 2000 Miles Lyrics

Category: , , ,

There's something I need to say (Hey yeah yeah)
I'm not sad you're gone away (No way)
Won't be calling information (No siree)
Or waiting at the railway station (Whoop Whoop)
You walked out of my front door
I wasn't then but now I'm sure
I need to be at least 2,000 miles away from you

2,000 miles away from you
2,000 miles away from you
2,000 miles away from you
2,000 miles away from you

Had to get me to the church on time
Say that silly I do I do nursery rhyme (I do I do I do I do I)
You've been bitching at me for a while (Yeah Yeah Yeah)
Say hey now baby don't you cramp my style (Uh)
Don't go beating me like that
I'm glad I won't be coming back
I need to be at least 2,000 miles away from you

2,000 miles away from you
2,000 miles away from you
2,000 miles away from you
2,000 miles away from you

Don't go beating me like that
I'm glad you won't be coming back

Watch out for the danger man
He'll eat you if he gets a chance
I need to be at least 2,000 miles away from you

2,000 miles away from you (2,000 miles away from you)
2,000 miles away from you (2,000 miles away from you)
2,000 miles away from you (2,000 miles away from you)
2,000 miles away from you

(And the further away from me you are the better as far as I'm concerned)

Erasure - A Little Respect Lyrics

Category: , , ,

I try to discover
A little something to make me sweeter
Oh baby refrain
From breaking my heart
I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
That you give me no reason
Why you're making me work so hard

That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no

Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please
Give a little respect
To me

And if I should falter
Would you open your arms out to me
We can make love not war
And live at peace with our hearts
I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
What religion or reason
Could drive a man to forsake his lover

Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no

Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please
Give a little respect
To me

I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
That you give me no reason
Why you're making me work so hard

That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no

Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please (Give a little respect)
Give a little respect
To me

(Soul) I hear you calling
Oh baby please (Give a little respect)
Give a little respect
To me

Erasure - A Long Goodbye Lyrics

Category: , , ,

In these days of mine for keeps I'm trying to hold on
Suddenly you're all out of reach and everything goes wrong
What we say and what we do are entirely different things
Meaning lost straight through the roof
That's not how it should be

Easy like a bird
I ride the breeze
My mind is falling

You're so ordinary
You're my sanctuary in the morning, darling
New sensation, love vibration
Heart to heart and a long goodbye
You go your way and I'll go my way
Life is truer than fiction
In this crazy land of milk and honey
Life is just an illusion

I just don't know what to believe in
If the truth be known
Suffering from soul fatigue
Weathering the storm

What we say and what we do are entirely different things
Whispered voices fill the room
That's not how it should be

Swaying like a tree
I feel the sky
Somebody calling

You're so ordinary
Be my sanctuary in the morning, darling
New sensation, love vibration
Heart to heart and a dumb goodbye
You go your way and I'll go my way
Life is truer than fiction
In this crazy mixed up world of honey
Life is just an illusion, darling
[Illusion, darling...]
[You're so ordinary...]
[You're so...]
[You're so ordinary...]

Easy like a bird
I ride the breeze
My mind is falling

You're so ordinary
Be my sanctuary in the morning, darling
New sensation, love vibration
Heart to heart and a long goodbye
You go your way, I'll go my way
Life is truer than fiction
In this crazy mixed up world of honey
Life is just an illusion

You're so ordinary, sanctuary
Be my one in the morning, darling
New sensation, love vibration
Heart to heart and a dumb goodbye
You go your way and I'll go my way
Life is truer than fiction
In this crazy mixed up world of honey
Life is just an illusion

You're so ordinary, sanctuary
Be my light in the morning, darling
New sensation, love vibration
Heart to heart and a long goodbye
You go your way and I'll go my way
Life is truer than fiction
In this crazy mixed up world of honey
Life is just an illusion darling

[Darling]
[Darling]
[Darling]

Erasure - Air Of Mystery Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Do I
Exude
An air of mystery
Not quite
I don't want to be
To be deluded
I hate delusion

Well if it's not enough for you
What am I expected to do

One step and you're laughing
Two steps and you're crying
One step and you're laughing
Two steps and you're crying

You
You make us see
A man of ecstasy
Do not do that
I don't want to be
To be excluded
I hate exclusion

Well if it's not enough for you
What am I expected to do

One step and you're laughing
Two steps and you're crying
One step and you're laughing
Two steps and you're crying

Well if it's not enough for you
What am I expected to do

One step and you're laughing
Two steps and you're crying
One step and you're laughing
Two steps and you're crying

One step and you're laughing
Two steps and you're crying
One step and you're laughing
Two steps and you're crying

Taking it one step
Make two steps
One step
Two steps
One step

Erasure - All This Time Still Falling Out Of Love Lyrics

Category: , , ,

As a means of release
Pick up my little pieces of heaven
'Tis a social disease when I cry
As you head for the door
I want it all, you can take it all leave it

With the light coming in
My desire to give in runs away with me
If I'm not good enough and my love is too much
Then forget it
Now I am strong carry me home
You can take it or leave it

God help me but forgive my true intention
It hurts me but I've nowhere left to run
All this time still falling out of love

As we cut to the thrust
This could well be the year of decision
Do you know what I mean
Like a song spinning round in my head?
Now I am strong carry me home
You can take it or leave it

God help me but forgive my true intention
It hurts me but I've nowhere left to run
All this time still falling out of love

I want it all, give me it all
I want it all, give me it all

God help me but forgive my true intention
It hurts me but I've nowhere left to run
God help me but forgive my true intention
It hurts me but I've nowhere left to run
All this time still falling out of love
All this time still falling out of love

Erasure - All Through The Years Lyrics

Category: , ,

Longing to sail on
Through the night to the stars
On until sunrise
Where the moon hides her tears
All through the years

If I could see the world through someone else's eyes
If I could see through you would I cast you to one side
And if you gave it all would I throw it all away
Like the leaves in autumn winds

From the window in the kitchen
To the fireside by the chair
Sat in familiar surroundings, warm night air
Under the bridges that were burning
Before we reached the other side
All the feelings I remember, I cannot hide
Not for want of trying

And if you held me here would the moment fade away
Into obscurity like the night becomes the day
For all the broken promises tell me where do I begin
To throw my caution to the wind

From the window in the kitchen
To the fireside by the chair
Sat in familiar surroundings, warm night air
Under the bridges that were burning
Before we reached the other side
All the feelings I remember, I cannot hide
Not for want of trying

From the window in the kitchen
To the fireside by the chair
Sat in familiar surroundings, warm night air
Under the bridges that were burning
Before we reached the other side
All the feelings I remember, I cannot hide
Not for want of trying

Longing to sail on
Through the night to the stars
On until sunrise
Where the moon hides her tears

Longing to sail on
Through the night to the stars
On until sunrise
Where the moon hides her tears

Longing to sail on
Through the night to the stars
On until sunrise
Where the moon hides her tears
All through the years

All through the years
All through the years
All through the years
All through the years
All through the years
All through the years
All through the years

Erasure - Am I Right Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Wandering through the back roads
And the rain comes rushing down
To resolve your love
For this man in his twenties

Am I right?
Am I wrong?
Or am I just dreaming?

Climbing up the backstairs
There's a chill wind in the air
I wrap up from the cold
Pull the blind in the window

Who was here?
Was it you?
Or am I just dreaming?

Look at all the lonely people
Walking miles around the town
I can see the old cathedral
But I have to play it down

Boats are on the river
Setting up their sails
And life carries on as normal
Although you're not around

Waiting at the bus stop
Laughing off the rain
Shaking their umbrellas
'Till it starts again

Flowers in the water
Floating off downstream
Paper in the gutter
Blowing in the breeze

Am I right?
Am I wrong?
Or am I just dreaming?

Look at all the lonely people
Walking miles around the town
I can see the old cathedral
But I have to play it down

Boats are on the river
Setting up their sails
And life carries on as normal
Although you're not around

Waiting at the bus stop
Laughing off the rain
Shaking their umbrellas
'Till it starts again

Flowers in the water
Floating off downstream
Paper in the gutter
Blowing in the breeze

Wandering through the back roads
And the rain comes rushing down
To resolve your love
For this man in his twenties

Am I right?
Am I wrong?
Or am I just dreaming?

Erasure - Angel Lyrics

Category: , , ,

See how much you mean to me
My electric symphony in blue
Just one look in your eyes
Maybe I was hypnotised by you

You told me on the telephone a picture so serene
And the beat goes on
Feels like a fever burning
And I say

Yes to your love and there's no secrets
High and ascending
Delving deeper
Fly like an angel, wings unfurling
Fanning the flames of love eternal

All around the world the love will manifest itself in special ways
Up there on the shelf in spiritual or sexual relays

I want you, yeah I crave you
I need you next to me
Locking the lip-sync on
A rocket to red hot love perfection

Here we go round and there's no secrets
High and ascending
Delving deeper
Under the water, clear as crystal
Spinning around in giant circles
Fly like an angel, wings unfurling
Fanning the flames of love eternal

[Down down deeper and down]
[Down down deeper and down]
[Down down deeper and down down down down]
[Down down deeper and down]

[Down down deeper and down]
You say "Reach me
I'll be your deity
Come and touch me
Make it real"
Turning the charm full on
Sending me into excitation

Woah
[In my heart]
[Do be true]
[Treat me like our love is true]

Here we go round no room for secrets [In my heart] [Do be true]
High and ascending, delving deeper [Treat me like our love is true]
Love is resounding, clear as crystal [In my heart] [Do be true]
Spinning around in giant circles [Treat me like our love is dear]

Our message is love and there's no secrets [In my heart] [Do be true]
Ever evolving heavenly creatures [Treat me like our love is true]
Fly like an angel, wings unfurling [In my heart] [Do be true]
Fanning the flames of love eternal [Treat me like our love is dear]

Erasure - Be My Baby Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Ooh there could be love in your eyes
I could be loving you deep my baby
Ooh there could be love in your soul
I wanna feel the emotion

Ooh there could be love in your heart
I want to feel it so deep down baby
Ooh I could love you so bad
I want to give you devotion

Oh what's the matter with me now baby
Feelings are mixed up inside
Come along and be mine only child

You'd better be careful or you might just get
What you are looking for
Now I'm in chains
Not exactly what I'm looking for

Ooh I'm putting magic aside
I love the look in your eyes now baby
Ooh it tells me you're mine
I wanna dive in your ocean

Oh what's the matter with me now baby
Feelings are mixed up inside
Come along and be mine only child

You'd better be careful or you might just get
What you are looking for
Now I'm in chains
Not exactly what I'm looking for

You'd better be careful or you might just get
What you are looking for
Now I'm in chains
Not exactly what I'm looking for

Erasure - Because Our Love Is Real Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Sometimes when I get upset
You chill me out and put it to rest
When I feel in dangerous times
You make a call and give me a sign

You wrap me up in love a colour so sublime
Goes to where I hurt the most and takes it all away
You really know me more than I even know myself

When life is bitter and sore
Just one look changes it all
Could never be a jealous young man
'Cause you hold the key to my hand

You wrap me up in love a colour so sublime
Goes to where I hurt the most and takes it all away
You really know me more than I even know myself

Because our love is real I won't dominate you, fool around
And faith and trust is all there is and true creation
Guards it with her soul

Sometimes when I don't feel well
Emotional fall under your spell
You heal me I'm better inside
Sure seems good to be alive

You wrap me up in love a colour so sublime
Goes to where I hurt the most and takes it all away
You really know me more than I even know myself

Goes to where I hurt the most and takes it all away
You really know me more than I even know myself

Erasure - Because You're So Sweet Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Because you're so sweet
You lift up my heart
And I fall back again
But I don't know
Quite which way to turn

The light in your eyes
Touches the sky
And I'm your man again
And you hold me
As close as close can be

And many's the time
That you've enchanted me
Now I want you back
Here in my lovin' arms
For eternity

You look and you smile
Warm me inside
'Cause you're so good to me
A beauty
Filled with the joys of spring

No love is too pure
To give to the world
In her naivety
Or too tender
To caress with a simple kiss

And many's the time
That you've enchanted me
Now I want you back (I want you back)
Here in my lovin' arms
For eternity

And many's the time
That you've enchanted me
I want you back (I want you back)
Back in my lovin' arms
For eternity

Erasure - Blue Savannah Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Blue Savannah song
Oh blue Savannah song
Somewhere 'cross the desert
Sometime in the early hours
In a restless world
On the open highway

My home is where the heart is
Sweet to surrender to you only
I send my love to you

Blue Savannah song
Oh blue Savannah song
Racing 'cross the desert
At a hundred miles an hour
To the orange side
Through the clouds and thunder

My home is where the heart is
Sweet to surrender to you only
I send my love to you

I'm on my way back and your love will bring me home (Say that your loving will bring me home)
I'm travelling fast and your love will bring me home (Say that your loving will bring me home)
Will I discover that your love will bring me home? (Dream away, darling)
That your love will bring me home? (Yeah)

Somewhere 'cross the desert
Sometime in the early hours
To the orange side
Through the clouds and thunder

My home is where the heart is
Sweet to surrender to you only
I send my love to you

Home is where the heart is
Sweet to surrender to you only
I send my love to you
Savannah song
Sweet to surrender to you only
I send my love to you
Savannah song
To you only
To you only

Erasure - Blues Away Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Can you see this predilection
Rushing through my head
Was a morning full of circumstance
I was seeing red
Put my blues away

Navigation gone astray
Went any way I could
Haven't got the time of day
Cannot see why I should
Put my blues away

I can hope
I can pray
Until you
Find me
Someday

Always had my reservations
Who am I to blame
Walked into the ring of fire
Heart in a wall of flames
Put my blues away

My emotion running riot
Through the neighbourhood
Screaming in the dead of night
I wish to be understood
Put my blues away

I can hope
I can pray (I can pray)
Until you
Find me
Someday (Till you find me someday)

I can hope
I can pray (I can pray)
Until you
Find me
Someday (Till you find me someday)

Navigation gone astray
Went any way I could
Haven't got the time of day
Cannot see why I should
Put my blues away

I can hope
I can pray (I can pray)
Until you
Find me
Someday (Till you find me someday)

I can hope
I can pray (I can pray)
Until you
Find me
Someday (Till you find me someday)

Tell me where you are 'cause
(Hey little darlin')
I ain't got 20/20 vision
And I know you're here
Somewhere
And it's nearly bedtime
And I'm getting lonely
Hey little darlin'
Tell me where you are 'cause
I ain't got 20/20 vision
And I know you're here
Somewhere
And it's nearly bedtime
And I'm getting lonely

Erasure - Boy Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Love you boy, till I fall
The child in me again, he plays the fool

Cry for joy, amen
For after all, it's only love

And the way you stir your coffee
Like an, an angel in the morning

Still you dare to change your mind
You'll be sorry when it's over
When you've had your taste of freedom
Don't come crying on my shoulder

Save your tears, don't mean much
Is the guilty party me?

I don't think so.

And it's, it's no bed of rose lying here
Tossing and turning

Still you dare to change your mind
You'll be sorry when it's over
When you've had your taste of freedom
Don't come crying on my shoulder

And these, these years of love and giving surely
Must mean something to you

Still you dare to change your mind
You'll be sorry when it's over
When you've had your taste of freedom
Don't come crying on my shoulder

Dare to change your mind
You'll be sorry when it's over
When you've had your taste of freedom
Don't come crying on my shoulder

Dare to change your mind
You'll be sorry when it's over
When you've had your taste of freedom
Don't come crying on my shoulder

Erasure - Breath Of Life Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Never had a point of view
'Cause my mind was always someone else's mind

I never had to tell a lie
'Cause I left the choices up to them
Don't know why but I did

Oh I want life
Life wants me
To breath in it's love

Take me I'm yours
Now I'm comin' up for air
I'm gonna live my time
For the rest of my life
Then I'll be comin' back for more

I never had to call the tune
'Cause I always drifted with the tide of the moon
(Ah la luna, my love, my love, my love)

I would go out every night
Lookin' for someone to treat me right
Not a chance (chance) not a hope (hope) in this world (world)

Oh I want life
Life wants me
To breath in it's love

Take me I'm yours
Now I'm comin' up for air
I'm gonna live my time
For the rest of my life
Then I'll be comin' back for more

Take me I'm yours
Now I'm comin' up for air
I'm gonna live my time
For the rest of my life
Then I'll be comin' back for more

Erasure - Breathe Lyrics

Twenty-seven times I paint the city in lights
Now I changed my mind
I was living fast now I'm running on empty
And I feel yeh I feel
You're gonna go, let me go

Breathe, and I breathe
It's bitter without you I can't live without you
And I'm in love with you

Stood the test of time
Though I treated you rough you were always kind
I let my head rule my heart now I'm feeling so lonely
And I feel it's the deal
You're letting me go gonna go

Breathe and I breathe
Hollow without you I can't live without you
And I'm in love with you

Erasure - Brother And Sister Lyrics

Category: , , ,

(Rock it)

When I was young
I would scream blue murder
Till I had my own way
Run from the family
Tell of a story to spite my elders
Round and round, the boy in the garden of lies and science fiction

Brother and sister and father of mine
Keep us together and keep us in line
A lot we depend on a lot we can do
Send love to mother I'll be good to you

To pollute the mind of a minor
The only escape from the rigours of life
Pretend we're a family and try believe
In the virtues of truth
Round and round, caught up in a tangle of lies and deception

Brother and sister and father of mine
Keep us together and keep us in line
A lot we depend on a lot we can do
Send love to mother I'll be good to you

Round and round and round and round
Round and round and round and round
Round and round and round and round
Round and round and round and round

Brother and sister and father of mine
Keep us together and keep us in line
A lot we depend on a lot we can do
Send love to mother I'll be good to you

Brother and sister and father of mine
Keep us together and keep us in line
A lot we depend on a lot we can do
Send love to mother I'll be good to you

And still we're going round
A boy in the garden of lies

Brother and sister and father of mine
Keep us together and keep us in line
A lot we depend on a lot we can do
Send love to mother I'll be good to you

Brother and sister and father of mine
Keep us together and keep us in line
A lot we depend on a lot we can do
Send love to mother I'll be good to you
