Erasure • Lyrics
Singles Box Set 3
We'll be together again
I've been waiting for a long time
We're gonna be, we're gonna be together again
I'll be connected to the right line
We'll be together
And nobody ain't never gonna disconnect us
Or ever separate us
Or say to us you've got to
Stop!
Stand there where you are
Before you go too far
Before you make a fool out of love
Stop!
Don't jump before you look
Get hung upon a hook
Before you make a fool out of love
We'll be together again
I've been waiting for a long time
We're gonna be, we're gonna be together again
I'll be connected to the right line
We'll be together
And nobody ain't never gonna disconnect us
Or ever separate us
Or say to us you've got to
Stop!
Stand there where you are
Before you go too far
Before you make a fool out of love
Stop!
Don't jump before you look
Get hung upon a hook
Before you make a fool out of love
We'll be together
And nobody ain't never gonna disconnect us
Or ever separate us
Or say to us you've got to
Stop!
Stand there where you are
Before you go too far
Before you make a fool out of love
Stop!
Don't jump before you look
Get hung upon a hook
Before you make a fool out of love
Stop!
Let it fill your heart
And throw it all over
Like a flower into the water
Let it fill your heart
Let it blow you all over
When you tumble under the water
What's to come of my life
Dreaming days away?
And that's the hardest part of it all
For you to live your life
With nothing at all
And that's the hardest part of it all
For you to live your life
With nothing at all
Let me fill your heart
Let me warm you all over
Let me hear your laughter run through the water
Let me fill your heart
Let it blossom all over
Like a petal burning the water
I'll spend the rest of my life
Walking through the rain
And that's the hardest part of it all
For you to live your life
With nothing at all
And that's the hardest part of it all
For you to live your life
With nothing at all
I'll spend the rest of my life
And my waking days
And that's the hardest part of it all
For you to live your life
With nothing at all
And that's the hardest part of it all
For you to live your life
With nothing at all
And that's the hardest part of it all
For you to live your life
With nothing at all
And that's the hardest part of it all
For you to live your life
With nothing at all
Send me cross the river
Take me cross the ocean
I just need to be somewhere
To sort out my emotions
You know it's up to you
You know exactly what to do
I can't take it anymore
I don't want to come back
Knocking on your door
Down there on the floor
I don't want to come back
Knocking on your door
Breaking every law
I don't want to come back
Knocking on your door
Love to see me shiver
You'd like to see me break down
I've just got to hide my face
Won't see your satisfaction
You know it's down to you
You know this thing I'm going through
I can't take it anymore
I don't want to come back
Knocking on your door
Down there on the floor
I don't want to come back
Knocking on your door
Breaking every law
I don't want to come back
Knocking on your door
You know it's up to you
You know exactly what to do
I can't take it anymore
I don't want to come back
Knocking on your door
Down there on the floor
I don't want to come back
Knocking on your door
Breaking every law
I don't want to come back
Knocking on your door
Down there on the floor
I don't want to come back
Knocking on your door
Breaking every law
I don't want to come back
Knocking on your door
Down there on the floor
I don't want to come back
Knocking on your door
Breaking every law
I don't want to come back
Knocking on your door
She looks around
There are snowflakes on the ground
Here comes another lonely Christmas
Stars in the night
There is one there shining bright
Shine bright for me this lonely Christmas
And I wanted to say to you
How much I want to be with you
I wanted to say to you
How much I need to be with you
Christmas time comes once a year
She knows this time he won't be near
She phones her mum
Says this time she cannot come
Don't worry I'm with friends this Christmas
Dad gets upset
But in time he soon forgets
Here comes another lonely Christmas
And I wanted to say to you
How much I want to be with you
I wanted to say to you
How much I need to be with you
Christmas time comes once a year
She knows this time he won't be near
And I wanted to say to you
How much I want to be with you
And I wanted to say to you
How much I need to be with you
And I wanted to say to you
How much I want to be with you
And I wanted to say to you
How much I need to be with you
God rest ye merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
For Jesus Christ our Saviour
Was born upon this day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
From God our Heavenly Father
A blessed Angel came
And unto certain Shepherds
Brought tidings of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by Name
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
Now to the Lord sing praises
All you within this place
And with true love and brotherhood
Each other now embrace
This holy tide of Christmas
All other doth deface
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
One rule for us, for you another
Do unto yourself as you see fit for your brother
Is that not within your realm of understanding?
A fifty-second capacity of mind, too demanding?
Woah, then poor unfortunate you
There are a myriad of things that you can do
Like pick up a pen and paper (pick up a pen and paper)
Go and talk to a friend (go and talk to a friend)
The history of the future (history of the future)
No violence or revenge
Your shame is never ending
Just one psychological drama after another
You are guilty (guilty)
And how you ever entered into this life
God only knows the infinite complexities of love
We all have the ability
Our freedom is fragile
We all laugh and we cry, don't we?
We all bleed and we smile
Your shame is never ending
Just one psychological drama after another
You are guilty (guilty, guilty)
And how you ever entered into this life
God only knows you're not to sacrifice the art of love
Your shame is never ending
Just one psychological drama after another
We are guilty (guilty, guilty)
And how we ever entered into this life
God only knows the infinite complexities of love
We are guilty (guilty, guilty)
And how we ever entered into this life
God only knows we're not to sacrifice the art of love
We are guilty (guilty, guilty)
And how we ever entered into this life
The Lord only knows the infinite complexities of love
You are guilty (guilty, guilty)
And how we ever entered into this life
God only knows the ultimate necessity of love
Attention!
Set your atom transmitter at 0 3 5
You are my sweet, sweet baby
You are my sweet, sweet baby
You are my sweet, sweet baby
You are my...Aou! Aou!
Attention! Ship's computer to bridge
You are my sweet machine
You are my sweet machine
You are my sweet machine
Baby, you are my world!
Aou! Aou!
And you know I really like it
I must disengage your recreational music
You are my sweet, sweet baby
You are my sweet machine
You are my sweet machine
Baby, you are my world!
And you know I really like it
Attention! Ship's computer to bridge
Attention! Ship's computer to bridge
Hey, now did I tell you that I was going?
Yes, I'm leaving, because there's no room in this house
You're just too much in love with yourself
Tired of living in slow motion, gonna make the bubble burst
And fill the ocean with your crocodile tears from your eyes
Instead of swimming against the tide
There are better things that a man can do
Than to waste his time on a no good fool like you
Falling into a pool like paradise
Falling into a pool like paradise
You say that you're really sorry, but sorry don't work
When you've heard it for the fifty-second time
You should be ready to say goodbye
Tired of your dead-end dreaming
Baby who on earth do you think you're kidding?
Don't put another record on, I'm sick of hearing the same old song
Don't wanna hear your little white lies
They can break the moon and decimate the sky
Falling into a pool like paradise
Falling into a pool like paradise
There are better things that a man can do
Than to waste his time on a no good fool like you
I'll be going away soon, only time will tell
If I'll ever be back again
I'll be going away soon, only time will tell
If I'll ever be back again
Falling into a pool like paradise
Falling into a pool like paradise
Don't ever let me take you for granted
You've got the finger on the pulse of my soul
Mmm, let me place a kiss in the small of your back
Love and protect you from the evils of this world
Mmm, baby don't ever leave me stranded
Who ever said that the streets were paved with gold?
Well I'm afraid that we're all sadly mistaken
There's nothing here 'til we have someone to hold
Mmm, I love you with all the joy of living
'Til the lights go down in New York City
It's a special love affair
There's magic in the air
You've gotta shake me down
Bring me 'round to my senses
'Til I'm lost and found
And you surround me with your senses
If love wasn't here would we reinvent it?
Mmm, take me down to the very root of my soul
Mmm, baby say it as if you really mean it
And feel the passion work its way up through your skin
Mmm, I love you with all the joy of living
'Til the lights go down in New York City
It's a special love affair
There's magic in the air
You've gotta shake me down
Bring me 'round to my senses
'Til I'm lost and found
And you surround me with your senses
Let me take you by the hand
And we can go and find a brand new world
Star light, star bright
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you to a safe place in this world
You've gotta shake me down
Bring me 'round to my senses
'Til I'm lost and found
And you surround me with your senses
Once upon a time
Science opened up the door
We would feed the hungry fields
Til they couldn't eat no more
But the potions that we made
Touched the creatures down below
And they grew up in a way
That we'd never seen before
Supernature, supernature
Supernature, supernature
They were angry with the man
Cause changed their way of life
And they take their sweet revenge
As they trample through the night
For hundred miles or more
You could hear the people cry
But there is nothing you can do
Even God is on their side
(God is on, God is on, God is on their side)
Supernature, supernature
Supernature, supernature
Cars will break the light
Come flowing in the air
The creature will decide
Who goes where
How can I explain
Things are different today
Darkness all around
No one makes a sound
Such a sad affair
No one seems to care
Supernature, supernature
Supernature, supernature
Better watch out
There's no way to stop it now
You can't escape
It's too late
Look what you've done
There's no place that you can run
The monsters made
We must pray
Maybe nature has a plan
To control the ways of man
He must start from scratch again
Many battles must he win
Til he earns his place on earth
Like the other creatures do
Will there be a happy end
Now that all depends on you
Supernature, supernature
Supernature, supernature
Supernature, supernature
Supernature, supernature
Blue savannah song
Oh, blue savannah song
Somewhere 'cross the desert
Some time 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
Well I'm on my way back and your love will bring me home (say that your love will bring me home)
I'm travelling fast and your love will bring me home (say your love will bring me home)
Will I discover that your love will bring me home? (dream away darlin')
Will I discover that your love will bring me home? (yeah)
Somewhere 'cross the desert
Some time 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 (sweet to surrender)
I send my love to you
Ooh, savannah song (sweet to surrender)
To you only
I send my love to you
Ooh, savannah song
To you only
To you only
I'm waiting at the bus stop for a double-decker ride
Supermarket checkout boy finds his way inside
A shady looking character, his beady eyes on me
I slip into a window seat, and then pretend to read
It's a wild, it's a wild, wild, wild world
The hardest thing is holding on
Holding on and take the strain
They're coming at me at angles that I never knew existed
And they ain't gonna get me
I'm building up my colours of resistance
It's a runaround on the underground
A cybernetic shopper with a slight sadistic grin
Pulls a zipper on her sleeping bag; shuts herself within
A triple quilted chrysalis waiting for the sales
A bargain basement butterfly going off the rails
It's a wild, it's a wild, wild, wild world
The hardest thing is holding on
Holding on and take the strain
They're coming at me at angles that I never knew existed
They ain't gonna get me
I'm building up my colours of resistance
It's a runaround on the underground
It's a wild, it's a wild, wild, wild world
The hardest thing is holding on
Holding on and take the strain
Take the strain
They're coming at me at angles that I never knew existed
They ain't gonna get me
I'm building up my colours of resistance
(The hardest thing is holding on)
(Holding on and take the strain)
They're coming at me at angles that I never knew existed
But they ain't gonna get me
I'm building up my colours of resistance
(The hardest thing is holding on)
(Holding on and take the strain)
Wanna be a great dark man
Being but a lesbian
You are perfect, you are sheer
If you are a red-haired queer
That's life, one dice
C'est la vie, ma cherie
But it really doesn't matter
No G.D.M., no great dark man
No G.D.M., no great dark man
There won't be a great dark man
If I am a red-haired queer
You are perfect, you are sheer
If you are a red-haired queer
C'est la vie, pale sniff
C'est la vie, ma cherie
But it really doesn't matter
Yellow teeth between pink lips
Eye-line shadow with a crazy look
Jewel behind the lobe of ear
Rouge on my face hides my beard
Long violet fingernails
I adore those magic tails
I don't mind, I don't mind
No G.D.M., no great dark man
No G.D.M., no great dark man
We go waiting for the stars
To come showering down
From Moscow to Mars
Universe falling down
You've got look real hard
There's a fiery star hidden out there somewhere
Not the satellite of love but a laser shooting out it's shiny tongue there
God is love, god is war
TV preacher tell me more
Lord redeem me, am I pure?
Pure as pure as heaven
Sent you money, sent you flowers
Could worship you for hours
In whose hands are we anyway?
Go waiting for the stars
To come showering down
From Moscow to Mars
Universe falling down
You've got look real hard
Is it in your heart? Yeah it's in there somewhere
The power wrapped in your palm, show it to me, hit them with your wrath and thunder
What's your pleasure? Tell it to me
How did you know? Show your beauty
In you somewhere, somewhere in me
Pure as pure as heaven
Sent you money, sent you flowers
Could worship you for hours
In whose hands are we anyway?
Yee-hah
Rolling along through a rose-coloured glow
The city looks pretty in pink
Armageddon is here
Did you ever have a lover leave you for another
And take your love and kisses for granted?
Never to discover war is not the answer, leave you only disenchanted
God is love, god is war (God is love, god is war)
TV preacher tell me more (God is pure as pure as heaven)
Father help me, am I pure?
Pure as pure as geaven
Sent you money, sent you flowers (God is love, god is war)
Could worship you for hours (God is pure as pure as heaven)
In whose hands are we anyway?
Go waiting for the stars
To come showering down
From Moscow to Mars
Universe falling down
I can see clearly now
As the crazy haste of night turns to morning
I lie in a dreamlike state
And wonder if the fear will go away
I know that you're here
In the space that surrounds me
And you make me feel like a kid in a movie
I know that you love me
Like the sound of the sea
Rush in to shore
The air that I breathe
Fills me with your love
I've wasted a thousand nights
For comfort in the arms of a stranger
I thought it would lead me on to
Bigger, brighter things
But you know that I'm wrong
It doesn't exist
And you make me feel like a kid in a movie
I know that you love me
Like the sound of the sea
Rush in to shore
The air that I breathe
Fills me with your love
Like the clouds in the sky
The rain falling down
Washes my feet
Pulls me to the ground
I'm begging you please
Never to leave me
I know you believe
In all I've said and done
And like the sound of the sea
Rushes to shore
The air that I breathe
Fills me with your love
Like the clouds in the sky
The rain falling down
Washes my feet
Pulls me to the ground
I'm begging you please
Never to leave me
I know you believe
In all I've said and done
