Echo & the Bunnymen

"If I said I'd lost my way, Would you sympathise? Could you sympathise? I'm jumbled up, Maybe I'm losing my touch. I'm jumbled up, Maybe I'm losing my touch. But you know I didn't have it anyway."

"Can you hear it? The sound of something burning. Something changing On the merry-go-round tonight.The pictures on my wall Are about to swing and fall. Love it all, Love it all."

"The man at the back has a question, His tongue's involved with solutions. But the monkey on my back Won't stop laughing.Over the wall, Hand in hand. Over the wall, Watch us fall."

"You said something will change. We were all dressed up, somewhere to go. No sign of rain, But something will change. You promised.You said nothing will change. We were almost near, almost far. Down came the rain, But nothing will change. You promised."

"Conquering myself until I see another hurdle approaching. Say we can, say we will, Not just another drop in the ocean."

"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?"

"Measure by measure, drop by drop And pound for pound, we're taking stock Of all the treasure still unlocked. The love you found must never stop."

"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."

"Under blue moon I saw you So soon you'll take me 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."

"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."

"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 'Cause I'd already played the game."

"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 and you'll give herLips like sugar, Sugar kisses. Lips like sugar, Sugar kisses."

"It was cheap at half the price, Took a shovel where a spoon would suffice. Now I can't see you. Now I can't see you.Regimental in my way, Detrimental at the end of the day. But you won't be told. No, you won't be told."

"An angel walked amongst us, Tried but couldn't love us. Something's wrong. Since you've gone you know There's nothing and no one To hang love on.So tell me how it feels, Tell me how it feels To touch the flame. Tell me who I am, Tell me who I really am. What's my name?"

"I want to be like you. I want to fly, fly, fly. Want you to take me to All of your sky.Why don't you kneel me down? Why don't we try, try, try? 'Cause when we come around, That's when I fly."

"And I want more than I can get Just trying to, trying to, trying to forget.I'd walk to you through rings of fire And never let you know the way I feel. Under skin is where I hide The love that always gets me on my knees."

"I wish that you were here 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."

"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."

"Here they come again: Whispers in my head. Same old sad refrain, Wished I'd never said What I said... yeah. Take me to the top, I need more not less. And don't ever tell me when to stop."

"Can we be like everyone, Pretending that there's nothing wrong? Remember when we walked upon Clouds that never rain?And I need it more than love And I love it more than life. And I want those stars above to shine this night."

"Now do you see how They're in the margins. Below and up above. I'll see now How life wins When all that's left is love."

"Must have forgotten something: How to forget how to be true. Covered myself in numb things. Don't touch me, and I won't touch you.Trying to remember something: Why am I here? And who are you? You must have meant something, Animals came in two by two."
