Man In The Moon Lyrics By Erasure

Stories from the deepest
Part of my heart
Delving under cause to wonder
Why am I falling apart

Scattered all around
This topsy turvy room
Will I find the one
Who takes me there too soon

When the night is cold
And you can´t find anything
And your will to survive´s
At an all time low

The spirit will fly and return
With a new found energy
So keep it within and delight
As your garden grows

Whispered in some lonesome voice
Too afraid to come out of the dark
Sinking down into coveres
Sleep to the beat of your heart

Spinning all around
This most peculiar room
Will I find the one
Who takes me there too soon

Do be kind
And civilised
And don´t descend
Into the dark abyss

And the man up in the moon is shining
Good fortune down on me
And the man up in the moon is shining
Sweet love
Sweet love

-Runaround On The Underground- (from my own listening)
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 slide 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
They ain't gonna get me
I'm building up my colors of resistance
It's a runaround on the underground
A cybermatic 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 (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 colors of resistance
(The hardest thing is holding on
Holding on and take the strain)

All This Time Still Falling Out Of Love Lyrics By Erasure

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

Darlene Lyrics By Erasure

Where do you go when you think about me?
What do I do when I think about you?

Skyline
Passion
City streets that I adore
Shadows
By me grow
Rent collectors at my door

You got your religion
I got my addictions
We got dirty dishes in the sink
Looking from the window
Kissing in the kitchen
Fall so hard that I don't have to think

Darlene
This is where I want to be
Wrapped within your arms eternally
Falling deep under your spell
High upon the magic that you weave

Mindless
Gameshows
Flicking through the multi-screen
Twilight
Time is slow
Fall so hard that I could scream

You got your religion
I got my addictions
Fall so hard that I don't have to think

Darlene
This is where I want to be
Wrapped within your arms eternally
Falling deep under your spell
High upon the magic that you weave

All the things that I adore
Ones I've chosen to ignore
Rent collectors at my door
I can't take it anymore

Where do you go when you think about me?
What do I do when I think about you?

You got your religion
I got my addictions
We got dirty dishes in the sink

Darlene
This is where I want to be
Wrapped within your arms eternally
Falling deep under your spell
High upon the magic that you weave

Darlene
This is where I want to be
Wrapped within your arms eternally
Falling deep under your spell
High upon the magic that you weave

Weight Of The World Lyrics By Erasure

Hey little wise man
You got the sweetest notion
Ooh the sweetest thing
Just once in a lifetime
You need a helping hand
Ooh a caring hand

You keep it wrapped up inside
It´s like a lethal potion
Gonna find it soul destroying

Wouh, don´t take it any further now baby
Wouh, won´t lead you anywhere
Wouh, it´s pushing and a hurting you baby
Wouh, I´ll say a little prayer

No other wise man
Could take the hurt like you do
Ooh the pain like youPutting on a brave face
But it gets to you somehow
Ooh gets through somehow

You hold your head in your hands
And the weight of the world on your shoulders
Come and pour your heart out to me

Wouh, don´t take it any further now baby
Wouh, won´t lead you anywhere
Wouh, it´s pushing and a hurting you baby
Wouh, I´ll say a little prayer

You keep it wrapped up inside
It´s like a lethal potion
Gonna find it soul destroying

Wouh, don´t take it any further now baby
Wouh, won´t lead you anywhere
Wouh, it´s pushing and a hurting you baby
Wouh, I´ll say a little prayer

Sucker For Love Lyrics By Erasure

I'm a sucker for love
All that's artificial
Sometimes below
The belt I hit you

For without love
Hell freezes over
And wherever you go searching
Know I'll want some

Give me back my calling cards and vices
My dignity and romance novels too

The love we have
Is for the better now
The love we have
Is for the better now
The love we have
Is for the better now
The love we have
Is for the better now

If you wanna know the truth
I'm feeling open ended
For without love
I'm not tremendous

The world we share
It's not pretending
And whenever you go AWOL
Know I'll be there

Give me back the photographs I sent you
My residence and cool emotion too

The love we have
Is for the better now
The love we have
Is for the better now
The love we have
Is for the better now
The love we have
Is for the better now

You gotta ride
Ride, ride, ride

The love we have
Is for the better now
The love we have
Is for the better now
The love we have
Is for the better now
The love we have
Is for the better now

The love we have
Is for the better now
The love we have
Is for the better now
The love we have
Is for the better now
The love we have
Is for the better now

How My Eyes Adore You Lyrics By Erasure

Woah, woah
How my eyes adore you
As you walk into the room

Anytime you're feeling lonely
Like a ship without a sail
Anytime that I fall and stumble
Be my rock where others fail

Anytime that you're feeling lonely
Come along and be mine only
All it takes is a little trying
Please don't you leave me crying

He don't want to know
Just turn around and go

Woah, woah
How my eyes adore you
As you walk into the room

Anytime that you're feeling restless
Take a deep breath and let it go
Only know that it leaves me breathless
Anytime that you're feeling low

Anytime that you're feeling lonely
Come along and be mine only
I can see your future with me
Can you fill the need within me?

When I close my eyes
You're the only one I love
Take me darling

If he don't want to know
Just turn around and go

Woah, woah
There's enough for everybody
The world she don't mind

Woah, woah
How my eyes adore you
As you walk into the room

A Little Respect Lyrics By Erasure

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 gimme no reason why you make me work so hard.

That you gimme no
that you gimme no

That you gimme no
that you gimme 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 your calling
oh baby
please
give a little respect to me.

I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
That you gimme no reason
you know you make me works so hard.
That you gimme no
that you gimme no
...

I hear you calling
oh baby
please
give a little respect to me.

Phantom Bride Lyrics By Erasure

She was a shy girl from a lonely street
She had no job to do and no friends to meet
She´d sit in silence in her rented room
Dream of her childhood and invented truths

And in her mind she´d drift away
A secret place to steal away

Don´t you cry, don´t you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your eyes
Don´t you cry, don´t you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your eyes

He was a good boy from the outside of town
Said he could treat her right said he could win her round
Her morning sickness and the kick inside
The phantom kisses of the phantom bride

And in her mind she´d drift away
A secret place to steal away

Don´t you cry, don´t you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your eyes
Don´t you cry, don´t you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your eyes

And in her mind she´d drift away
A secret place to steal away
Don´t you cry, don´t you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your eye
Don´t you cry, don´t you cry
Let me wipe away the tears no more
No more lies
Don´t you cry, don´t you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your eyes
Don´t you cry, don´t you cry
Let me wipe away the tears
Let me wipe away the tears

S O S Lyrics By Erasure

I'd like to dedicate this song to mother earth
Where are those happy days, they seem so hard to find
I try to reach for you but you have closed your mind
What ever happened to our love? I wish I understood
It used to feel so nice, it used to be so good
So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me S.O.S.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me S.O.S.
When you're gone, how can I even try to go on?
When you're gone, well I try, how can I carry on?
You seem so far away but you are standing nearer
You make me feel alive but something died I fear
I really tried to make it out I wish I understood
What happened to our love, it used to be so good
So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me S.O.S.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me S.O.S.
When you're gone, how can I even try to go on?
When you're gone, ooh I try, how can I carry on?
So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me S.O.S.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me S.O.S.
When you're gone, how can I even try to go on?
When you're gone, ooh I try, how can I carry on?
When you're gone, how can I even try to go on?
When you're gone, ooh I try, how can I carry on?
