Grace on the water Lips like sugar Lips like sugar Just when you think you've caught her She glides across the water She calls for you tonight To share this moonlight You'll flow down her river She'll ask you and you'll give her Lips like sugar Sugar kisses Lips like sugar Sugar kisses She knows what she knows I know what she's thinking Sugar kisses Sugar kisses Just when you think she's yours She's flown to other shores To laugh at how you break And melt into this lake You'll flow down her river But you'll never give her Lips like sugar Sugar kisses Lips like sugar Sugar kisses She'll be my mirror Reflect what I am A loser and a winner The king of Siam And my Siamese twin Alone on the river Mirror kisses Mirror kisses Lips like sugar Sugar kisses Lips like sugar Sugar kisses Lips like sugar Sugar kisses Lips like sugar Sugar kisses Lips like sugar Sugar kisses Lips like sugar Sugar kisses |

You said you could make it disappear
Make my pathway clean and clear You said I was just a touch away But I'm not even close No, nowhere near You said you could make it disappear Make my pathway clean And my pathway clear How d'you want to go? Should we go together? I don't want to go Gonna live forever Live forever Shadows in the fog are moving in From the world outside To my world within I'm sucking on the dust that moves the air The pieces move But I'm still there Shadows in the fog are moving in From the world outside To my world within How d'you want to go? Calm or stormy weather If we've got to go Let's go together Together You said you could make it disappear Make my pathway clean and clear You said I was just a touch away But I'm not even close No, I'm nowhere near You said you could make it disappear Make my pathway clean And my pathway clear How d'you want to go? Should we go together? I don't want to go Gonna live forever Live forever Live forever Live forever Live forever La la la La la la la La la la la La la la La la la la La la la la La la la La la la la La la la la |

A sense of duty
was my one intention and an ugly beauty was my own invention Pride a proud refusal and I refuse to need your approval Too many seekers Too few beacons But through the fog we'll keep on beaming Through the crying hours of your glitter years all the living out of your tinsel tears and the midnight trains I never made 'cos I'd already played...the game Everybody's got their own good reason why their favorite season is their favorite season Winter winners and those summers sons aren't good for everyone aren't good for everyone Spring has sprung and autumns well done so well done And it's a better thing that we do now forgetting everything the whys and hows While you reminisce about the things you miss you won't be ready to kiss...goodbye The earth is a world The world is a ball A ball in a game with no rules at all And just as I wonder at the beauty of it all you go and drop it and it breaks and falls I'll never understand why you thought I would need to be reassured and be understood When I always knew that your bad's my good and I was ready ready...to be loved Born under Mars With Jupiter rising Fallen from stars That lit my horizon I'll never understand why you thought I would need to be reassured and be understood When I always knew that your bad's my good and I was ready ready...to be Through the crying hours of your glitter years all the living out of your tinsel tears and the midnight trains I never made 'cos I'd already played it's a better thing that we do now forgetting everything the whys and hows While you reminisce about the things you miss you won't be ready to kiss...goodbye |

in no dream town They shut us up and the shutters down The planes flew in and laid the ground We built upon and spun around God's one miracle Lost in circles Chorus: On the march Berlin to Bombers Bay Traveling dark on the roads to Mandalay Cannon fire came to call Stood us up and watched us fall The way we were and now outworn Our costumes changed to uniforms Black black days here to stay On the march Madrid to Bombers Bay Traveling dark on the road to Mandalay Pack up the troubles and you'll all get by Smile boys that's the style Pack up your troubles and you'll all get by Smile They give us hope and teach us well with magic moons that cast a spell and hypnotise and draw us in I believe I'm believing God's one miracle moves in circles On the march Berlin to Bombers Bay Traveling dark on the road (chorus) Black black days where the flying fishes play (x4) ... |

under sliver studded skies In a forest burnig ashes on the bonfires of our lives As the sky fell down I was lost and found saw my world spin round round and round All the ghosts have gathered round me come to tell me of a change in the darkness that surrounds me I am falling down again On this haunted ground I was lost and found Chorus: Lost Lost and found (x2) She will tell you her cathedral has no windows and no doors and you know she doesn't need you and that's why you want her more As your heart melts down you are lost and found (chorus) I was counting all the tombstones of the buried boys and girls as the wind blew in like ice and froze this cemetery world And we all fell down we were lost and found And the sun went down we were lost and found (chorus x2) |

Chopping off my stopping thought Self doubt and selfism Were the cheapest things I ever bought When you say it's love D'you mean the back of love When you say it's love D'you mean the back of love? We're taking advantage of Breaking the back of love We're taking advantage of Breaking the back of love Easier said than done you said But it's more difficult to say With eyes bigger than our bellies We want to but we can't look away What were you thinking of When you dreamt that up? What were you thinking of When you dreamt that up? Taking advantage of Breaking the back of love When you're surrounded by a simple chain of events (Behind my eyes, behind my eyes) (Your eyes don't lie) Eventually you'll shack those shackles off (Dreams above those eyes) (Those eyes) We can't tell our left from right But we know we love extremes Getting to grips with the ups and downs Because there's nothing in between When you say that's love D'you mean the back of love When you say that's love D'you mean the back of love? Taking advantage of Breaking the back of love What were you thinking of When you dreamt that up? We're taking advantage of We're breaking the back of love Breaking the back of love |

Brewing alternatives What's in the bottom drawer Waiting for things to give Spare us the cutter Spare us the cutter Couldn't cut the mustard Conquering myself Until I see another hurdle approaching Say we can, say we will Not just another drop in the ocean Come to the free for all With seven tapered knives Some of them six feet tall We will escape our lives Spare us the cutter Spare us the cutter Couldn't cut the mustard Conquering myself Until I see another hurdle approaching Say we can, say we will Not just another drop in the ocean Am I the happy loss Will I still recoil When the skin is lost Am I the worthy cross Will I still be soiled When the dirt is off Conquering myself Until I see another hurdle approaching Say we can, say we will Not just another drop in the ocean Ocean Watch the fingers close When the hands are cold Am I the happy loss Will I still recoil When the skin is lost Am I the worthy cross Will I still be soiled When the dirt is off Am I the happy loss Will I still be soiled When the dirt is off ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By MCCULLOCH, IAN STEPHEN / SERGEANT, WILLIAM ALFRED / PATTINSON, LESLIE THOMAS / DE FREITAS, PETER LOUIS VINCENT <i>Lyrics © Warner/Chappell Music, Inc.</i> |

Stab a sorry heart
With your favourite finger Paint the whole world blue And stop your tears from stinging Hear the cavemen singing Good news they’re bringing Seven seas Swimming them so well Glad to see My face among them Kissing the tortoise shell A longing for Some fresher feeling Belonging Or just forever kneeling Where is the sense in stealing Without the grace to be it Seven seas Swimming them so well Glad to see My face among them Kissing the tortoise shell Burning my bridges And smashing my mirrors Turning to see if you’re cowardly Burning the witches with mother religious You’ll strike the matches and shower me In water games Washing the rocks below Taught and tamed In time with tear flow Seven seas Swimming them so well Glad to see My face among them Kissing the tortoise shell Seven seas Swimming them so well Glad to see My face among them Kissing the tortoise Seven seas Swimming them so well Glad to see My face among them Kissing the tortoise shell |

My planet sweet on a silver salver Bailed out my worst fears 'Cause man has to be his own savior Blind sailors Imprisoned jailers God tame us No one to blame us The sky is blue My hands untied A world that's true Through our clean eyes Just look at you With burning lips You're living proof At my fingertips Walked on a tidal wave Laughed in the face of a brand new day Food for survival thought Mapped out the place where I planned to stay All the way Well behaved Just in case It slips away The sky is blue My hands untied A world that's true Through our clean eyes Just look at you With burning lips You're living proof At my fingertips La la la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la The sky is blue My hands untied A world that's true Through our clean eyes Just look at you With burning lips You're living proof At my fingertips Ti-ti-ti-ti-tips Ti-ti-ti-ti-tips Ti-ti-ti-ti-tips Ti-ti-ti-ti-tips La la la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la |

Of burning wood
In our world of wire Ignite our dreams of starry skies And you and me As realised our bigger themes Oh, take me internally Forever yours Nocturnal me Take me internally Forever yours Nocturnal me Do or die What's done is done True beauty lies On the blue horizon Who or why What's one is one In pure disguise Of vulgar sons Oh, take me internally Forever yours Nocturnal me Take me internally Forever yours Nocturnal me Whatever burns burns eternally So take me in turns internally When i'm on fire My body will be Forever yours Nocturnal me In an ice-capped fire Of burning wood In our world of wire Ignite our dreams of starry skies And you and me As realised our bigger themes Oh, take me internally Forever yours Nocturnal me Take me internally Forever yours Nocturnal me |

Froze to the bone
In my igloo home Counting the days 'til the ice turns green You know when heaven And hell collide There are no In-betweens (I'm the yo-yo man) Flames on your skin Of snow turn cold (Always up and down) Cold is the wind that blows Through my headstone Collecting the bones Of my friends tonight Sowing the seeds In a fruitless land You know when prayers All hit the ground There is no Higher hand (I'm the yo-yo man) Flames on your skin Of snow turn cold (Always up and down) Cold is the wind that blows Through my headstone I'm the yo-yo man Always up and down So take me to the end Of your tether (I'm the yo-yo man) Flames on your skin Of snow turn cold (Always up and down) Cold is the wind that blows Through my... (I'm the yo-yo man) Flames on your skin Of snow turn cold (Always up and down) Cold is the wind that blows Through my... (I'm the yo-yo man) And the flames on your skin Of snow turn cold (Always up and down) Cold is the wind that blows Through our headstones |

up in your arms too late to beg you or cancel it though I know it must be the killing time unwillingly mine Fate up against your will through the thick and thin he will wait until you give yourself to him In starlit nights I saw you so cruelly you kissed me your lips a magic world your sky all hung with jewels the killing moon will come too soon Fate up against your will through the thick and thin he will wait until you give yourself to him |

Stab a sorry heart
With your favourite finger Paint the whole world blue And stop your tears from stinging Hear the cavemen singing Good news they’re bringing Seven seas Swimming them so well Glad to see My face among them Kissing the tortoise shell A longing for Some fresher feeling Belonging Or just forever kneeling Where is the sense in stealing Without the grace to be it Seven seas Swimming them so well Glad to see My face among them Kissing the tortoise shell Burning my bridges And smashing my mirrors Turning to see if you’re cowardly Burning the witches with mother religious You’ll strike the matches and shower me In water games Washing the rocks below Taught and tamed In time with tear flow Seven seas Swimming them so well Glad to see My face among them Kissing the tortoise shell Seven seas Swimming them so well Glad to see My face among them Kissing the tortoise Seven seas Swimming them so well Glad to see My face among them Kissing the tortoise shell |

Down amongst the dust I need someone to help me You need someone to trust There's something with these tears Turning me to rust I need someone to help me Yeah I need someone to touch Give me one more try And I'll come flaking back to you I wish that you were here I wish that it was true [Chorus] I can feel the stars shooting through my heart like rain Leaving on the scars where the pleasure turns to pain Point me in a light Bright and shiny in right direction And then take me home again Just when you thing it's over Just when you think it's done Out of every nowhere You never see it come I know the lines are showing I can't keep them in Like everybody's story It's written on the skin Give me one last try And I'll make it up to you Wish that you were here Wish that I was true [Chorus] I wish that you were here Down amongst my dust I need someone to help me You need someone to trust There's something with these tears Turning me to rust I wish that you were here I wish that it was ours [Chorus] Everything's gonna be all right |

Let's go and take a starlit drive
To where the shaping of our lives Had just begun when we were young When everything was coming right In our dreams of love and life And we could run into the sun Get in the car We're taking a ride We're looking for stars We're looking for satellites Of love Of love Changes coming, changes gone We just want to be someone Behind the tears, behind the tears Nights and days go on and on And things are coming out all wrong And no one hears, and no one hears Get in the car We're taking a ride We're looking for stars We're looking for satellites Get in the car We're taking a ride You'll be the star I'll be your satellite Of love Of love Let's go and take a ride To all those starry nights We used to fly upon when we were young When everything was coming right In all our dreams of love and life And we would run into the sun Nothing's gonna get me down |

Lost again
Still waiting for the voices That don't call my name Had too many choices And I missed my aim No pearls inside the oysters Just a world With no answers We all get life And take our chances In the rain...baby rain In the rain...baby rain Glad to be Alive and still believing What you said to me Your love was never leaving And it comes for free So what's the use of stealing From your girl When she's the answer And your world And your chances In the rain...baby rain In the rain...baby rain I've got what you want When're you going to get me? Home again I can hear the voices Singing out my name Life is where the choice is And I've found my aim Don't need pearls or oysters Just a world With all the answers I've got life I'll take my chances In the rain...baby rain In the rain...baby rain |

When I wake into the Morning Sun,Well I feel another day has just begun.I see those clouds up in the sky,And I don't care, everything is going to be alright.And I want you to know, some feelings come and goBut for you mine will never change.It's harder than it seems to know what to believe,Here in my mind I hold you close.Well I have never seen a face like yours,It makes me smile just when I think of you for sure.And all we have is all we have to show,And all we need is here for free. Just thought I'd let you know.And when I hold you close, it's you I love the most,You take my loneliness away.I saw you in my dreams and then you came to me.Will you be mine?, I only hope.

When it all blows over
Can we start again? When we've both grown older Will you love me then? Say you'll love me then You never had to tell me I already knew The last time you held me There was only you It was only ever you Though every change As i turned the tide Through all my games You were there by my side When it all blows over Can we start again When we've both grown older Will you love me then? Say you'll love me then Will you love me then? Say you'll love me then Did you love me then...? |

It's fools like us
Always fooled By the bright side of life Then life on the cool How does it turn? How does it turn? Into the dying embers From a love that burned On it's way to your heart somehow On it's way to your heart somehow On it's way to your heart somehow They're falling again My shining stars From out of your heaven Ribbons and chains Ribbons and chains Tie us together And keep us apart Got to get to your heart somehow Got to get to your heart somehow Got to get to your heart somehow If I could be someone Someone better than me I would be that someone Who's still waiting for me It's always fools like us Always burned On the dying embers Of a love that's turned On it's way from your heart somehow On it's way from your heart somehow On it's way from your heart somehow On it's way to your heart somehow Time is on our side ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By SHOCKED, MICHELLE/MADDOX, BILLY/ADDISON, MARK <i>Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing</i> |

Should we go together? I don't want to go Gonna live forever Live forever Shadows in the fog are moving in From the world outside To my world within I'm sucking on the dust that moves the air The pieces move But I'm still there Shadows in the fog are moving in From the world outside To my world within How d'you want to go?

I don't want to go Gonna live forever Live forever Live forever Live forever Live forever La la la La la la la La la la la La la la La la la la La la la la La la la La la la la La la la la |

Gazed in the crystal ball
Looks like I'm lost again Where do I find the tunnel's end Follow the rise and fall Of all the better men From here to Bethlehem All free souls beware The moon is in my head Around the Empire State I saw the angels fly Heaven above and Thames below We don't have long to wait Ran out of alibis Ran out of things I've ever known The streets were paved with snow And I saw your halo glow And this love is just for you And all your love Will learn to love me too Love me too All free souls beware The moon is in my head And this love is just for you And all your love Will learn to love me too Love me too The moon is in my head |

Who's gonna hold you
When you're too scared to feel Who's gonna cure you When the pain won't heal Who's gonna be there When the world goes wrong Who's gonna tell you You're the only one [Chorus] In my blood In my soul In this mind of mine Can your touch Turn me cold Make my glitter shine Who's gonna reach you When you can't be caught Who's gonna teach you What you can't be taught Who's gonna beat you When you won't be fought Who's gonna buy you When you can't be bought [Chorus] Who's gonna pray for you When you're too young to kneel Who's gonna fake it When it gets too real One more question answered In the falling star I heard they found Death on mars [Chorus: x 2] |

I'm just one of many
Gave a love in vain Sold it out for pennies Saved up all my reign (rain) What do you want from me The ocean or the sea The salt inside the rising tide Tears you got from me Got from me Got from me, yeah One day I'll be ready To take what could be mine Everything I'd buried I lay out on the line What d'you want to see The truth or mystery A blinding light, a blackest night They're both inside of me Inside me Inside me, yeah I'm just one of many Took a love in vain Sold it out for pennies Saved up all my reign (rain) What d'you want from me The truth or mystery The salt inside the rising tide Tears you got from me Got from me Got from me, yeah I don't want to be forgiven All I want is to be free I know I'll never be forgiven I know I'll never be free |

She floats like a swan
Grace on the water Lips like sugar Lips like sugar Just when you think you've caught her She glides across the water She calls for you tonight To share this moonlight You'll flow down her river She'll ask you and you'll give her Lips like sugar Sugar kisses Lips like sugar Sugar kisses She knows what she knows I know what she's thinking Sugar kisses Sugar kisses Just when you think she's yours She's flown to other shores To laugh at how you break And melt into this lake You'll flow down her river But you'll never give her Lips like sugar Sugar kisses Lips like sugar Sugar kisses She'll be my mirror Reflect what I am A loser and a winner The king of Siam And my Siamese twin Alone on the river Mirror kisses Mirror kisses Lips like sugar Sugar kisses Lips like sugar Sugar kisses Lips like sugar Sugar kisses Lips like sugar Sugar kisses Lips like sugar Sugar kisses Lips like sugar Sugar kisses |

My life's the disease
That could always change With comparative ease Just given the chance My life is the earth Twixt muscle and spade We wait for the worth Digging for just one chance As prospects diminish As nightmares swell Some pray for Heaven while We live in hell My life's the disease My life's the disease If you get yours From Heaven Don't waste them ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By MCCULLOCH, IAN STEPHEN / SERGEANT, WILLIAM ALFRED / PATTINSON, LESLIE THOMAS / DE FREITAS, PETE <i>Lyrics © Warner/Chappell Music, Inc.</i> |

from Echo & The Bunnymen - Heaven Up Here (1981)
I began to feel so bad
Waking up laughing so rare Up and down and down the stairs Set myself up in the chair And said all I love Is all I love All I want Is all I want If we make The same mistake Who could we blame? When we make The same mistake Who will we blame? What will we blame? We blame all I love All I love All we want All we want I had a helpful discussion I had to sleep in a chair I laid my head on a cushion Because it was there Up and down and down the stairs Set myself up in the chair And said all I love All I love All I want Is all I want Got the hands To hold the key... |

Swung from a chandelier
My planet sweet on a silver salver Bailed out my worst fears 'Cause man has to be his own savior Blind sailors Imprisoned jailers God tame us No one to blame us The sky is blue My hands untied A world that's true Through our clean eyes Just look at you With burning lips You're living proof At my fingertips Walked on a tidal wave Laughed in the face of a brand new day Food for survival thought Mapped out the place where I planned to stay All the way Well behaved Just in case It slips away The sky is blue My hands untied A world that's true Through our clean eyes Just look at you With burning lips You're living proof At my fingertips La la la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la The sky is blue My hands untied A world that's true Through our clean eyes Just look at you With burning lips You're living proof At my fingertips Ti-ti-ti-ti-tips Ti-ti-ti-ti-tips Ti-ti-ti-ti-tips Ti-ti-ti-ti-tips La la la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la |

Of burning wood
In our world of wire Ignite our dreams of starry skies And you and me As realised our bigger themes Oh, take me internally Forever yours Nocturnal me Take me internally Forever yours Nocturnal me Do or die What's done is done True beauty lies On the blue horizon Who or why What's one is one In pure disguise Of vulgar sons Oh, take me internally Forever yours Nocturnal me Take me internally Forever yours Nocturnal me Whatever burns burns eternally So take me in turns internally When i'm on fire My body will be Forever yours Nocturnal me In an ice-capped fire Of burning wood In our world of wire Ignite our dreams of starry skies And you and me As realised our bigger themes Oh, take me internally Forever yours Nocturnal me Take me internally Forever yours Nocturnal me |

from Echo & The Bunnymen - Ocean Rain (1988)
Froze to the bone
In my igloo home Counting the days 'til the ice turns green You know when heaven And hell collide There are no In-betweens (I'm the yo-yo man) Flames on your skin Of snow turn cold (Always up and down) Cold is the wind that blows Through my headstone Collecting the bones Of my friends tonight Sowing the seeds In a fruitless land You know when prayers All hit the ground There is no Higher hand (I'm the yo-yo man) Flames on your skin Of snow turn cold (Always up and down) Cold is the wind that blows Through my headstone I'm the yo-yo man Always up and down So take me to the end Of your tether (I'm the yo-yo man) Flames on your skin Of snow turn cold (Always up and down) Cold is the wind that blows Through my... (I'm the yo-yo man) Flames on your skin Of snow turn cold (Always up and down) Cold is the wind that blows Through my... (I'm the yo-yo man) And the flames on your skin Of snow turn cold (Always up and down) Cold is the wind that blows Through our headstones |
