Erasure Album

Freedom will come
To real love
Heaven will come
For real love

Do-Wah, Do-Wah, Do-Wah
Run away when it hurts, from the things that we do
Do-Wah, Do-Wah, Do-Wah
Don't know why we cry, run away from the truth

Children of new men
Colors of human kind, in shadow
Good is your loving
Growing and sharing storms

Believe
You've got to believe

Calling the day freedom will come
And we will arise to real love
Day by day, heaven will come
And we'll survive for real love

Cherish the union, the light in a stranger's eyes
Your guardian angel will make all the wrong things right

Believe
You've got to believe

Do-Wah, Do-Wah, Do-Wah
Do-Wah, Do-Wah, Do-Wah
Do-Wah, Do-Wah, Do-Wah
Do-Wah, Do-Wah, Do-Wah

Calling the day freedom will come
And we will arise to real love
Day by day, heaven will come
And we'll survive for real love

Calling the day freedom will come
And touch the sky in heaven above
Day by day, heaven will come
And we'll survive for real love

Calling the day freedom will come
And touch the sky in heaven above
Day by day, heaven will come
And we'll survive for real love

Calling the day freedom will come
And touch the sky in heaven above
Day by day, heaven will come

Where in the world did you go?
Without a clue, without a word
What on earth did I do wrong?
You won't believe how much I hurt

I can't believe the mess we're in
My sense of humour wearing thin
Gets away with murder every day
Can't you hear me?
Won't you make it go away?

An aftertaste of bitterness
Hits me in the face, someone else's lips
Here I lie awake, alone
Just wishing you'd come home

You leave me desolate and sore
Go and fight in someone else's war
And so you put us both to shame
Don't come near me
Won't you make it go away?

I can't believe the mess we're in
My sense of humour wearing thin
No-one's getting younger anyway
Can't you hear me?
Won't you make it go away?

I can't believe the mess that we're in
My sense of humour wearing thin
Gets away with murder every other day
Can't you hear me?

Can you make it alright?
Can you make it okay?
When the talk don't come out right
You're moving further away

Now I feel no pain
I do my crying in the rain

Everybody hurts when you play in the game of love
Stumble and fall, and it's all in the name of love

Words don't come out right
Can you make it okay?
And the way I feel I keep out of sight
Then make the heartbreak fade away

And the nights are long and cold
I want you here, my dear, to hold

Everybody hurts when you play in the game of love
Stumble and fall, and it's all in the name of love

Everybody hurts when you play in the game of love
Stumble and fall, and it's all in the name of love

Now I feel no pain
I do my crying in the rain

Everybody hurts when you play in the game of love
Stumble and fall, and it's all in the name of love

Everybody hurts when you play in the game of love
Stumble and fall, and it's all in the name of love

Everybody hurts when you play in the game of love

Perchance to dream
Dive into the wall of sound, yeah
Crashing all over me
Turning my world upside-down

And then I see, and I start to breathe
As if for the first time
Suddenly, as calm as can be
Sky full of wonder, tears asunder

Climb through the car
Falling up to meet the road
Something in my head will explode
Oh baby gee
Won't you come and share the world with me
Time with me

Tears on a tin box
I tear out tinder to strike it with, yeah
A little spark is satisfied
Kights up the soft wood

And then I see, and I start to breathe
The mountain in moonshine
Stars on my breath, scares me to death
Flickering mellow shadows

Climb through the air
Falling up to meet the clouds
Static in my hair, I blush out loud
Oh baby gee
Won't you come and share the world with me
Time with me

And then I see, and I start to breathe
As if for the first time
Suddenly, as calm as can be
Sky full of wonder, tears asunder

Climb through the car
Falling up to meet the road
Something in my head will explode
Oh baby gee
Won't you come and share the world with me
Time with me

Oh baby gee
Won't you come and share the world with me

Cuts to the quick
Pure emotion, a trip
No word of a lie

Pressed to your lips
We collide, slowly twist
Ardent and lithe

Seeps into the ground
Kisses the earth and I am found

Love's young dream could be alien
Strange ways, how we fly
Tuning low like a radio
Whispering goodbye

Alien, Wo-Ah, alien

Just so it seems
Softly potent, serene
Vacant and shy

You are everywhere
Under my skin and in my hair

Love's young dream could be alien
Strange ways, how we fly
Tuning low like a radio
Whispering goodbye

Alien, Wo-Ah, alien

Seeps into the ground
Kisses the earth and I am found

Love's young dream could be alien
Strange ways, how we fly
Tuning low like a radio
Whispering goodbye

Love's young dream could be alien
Strange ways, how we fly
Tuning low like a radio
Whispering goodbye

Love's young dream could be alien
Strange ways, how we fly
Tuning low like a radio
Whispering goodbye

Love's young dream
Could be serene

Yes, I drink away the hurting
Wishing that the ghost would fade away
There was something more I had to do
Before you turned and walked away

Promises broken easily, ah-ha

Mad as we are, cannot fail
Lines across my silver screen
Sorts it out, burns a trail, speed of light
Hope flickering

Pins and needles climbing up the spine of bone
Cathedrals ever high
I'm not sure that I could cross this river
I'm not sure I want to try

Shadows is all that's left of you, ah-ha

Mad as we are, cannot fail
Lines across my silver screen
Sorts it out, burns a trail, speed of light
Hope flickering

Like moths in the night

Promises broken easily, ah-ha

Mad as we are, cannot fail
Lines across my silver screen
Sorts it out, burns a trail, speed of light
Hope flickering

Mad as we are, cannot fail
Lines across my blue screen
Sorts it out, burns a trail, speed of light
Hope flickering

Mad as we are, cannot fail
Lines across my silver screen
Sorts it out, burns a trail, speed of light
Hope flickering

Burning deep down inside like a fire
I can see in your eyes my desire

Here in my heart, I will love you forever
Fall in your arms, I am yours, yours to hold

Bright like the love in your eyes
I do know you love me
Crying alone in the night
Moments gone now forever, tonight

Tell no lies, I can see softly, screaming
Comes alive, comes to me, am I dreaming?

Here in my heart, I will love you forever
Fall in your arms, I am yours, yours to hold

Bright like the love in your eyes
I do know you love me
Crying alone in the night
Moments gone now forever, tonight

Burning deep down inside like a fire
I can see in your eyes my desire

Here in my heart, I will love you forever
Fall in your arms, I am yours, yours to hold

Bright like the love in your eyes
I do know you love me
Crying alone in the night

Woman
If I were a man
I would be man enough to keep you warm
And boy
If I were a man
I would be strong enough enough to hold you tight
And when I cry
And I'm in a mood
I will try to keep on loving you

Love is divine
Love is the rage
Leave me alone
Lovely day
Love is bizarre
Lover be mine
Don't wanna lose ya

Love is divine
Love is the rage
Melancholy
Don't wanna go
Lovely time
Lover be mine
Don't wanna lose ya

Lover
If you were my lover
Would you be kind enough to take no other?
Boy
If I were a man
Would I be strong enough to practice what I preach?
When you're out of reach?
I would sigh and stumble through my speech

Love is divine
Love is the rage
Leave me alone
Lovely day
Love is bizarre
Having a laugh
Don't wanna lose ya

Love is divine
Love is the rage
Melancholy
Don't wanna go
Lovely time
Lover be mine

If I seem nervous will you show me what to do?
And does the world deserve us?
Application rushing through

A long time coming
Yes, it's been a long time coming

My loving you is a place where I surrender
In my heart, it's not hard to do
And all my worldly goods I give to you

We close our eyes and chase away the sorry things
You make it easy for me, life is but a dream

Cried on your shoulder
Dove into the great blue yonder

My loving you is a place where I surrender
In my heart, it's not hard to do
And all my worldly goods I give to you

Loving you is a place where I surrender
In my heart, no catch 22
And all my worldly goods I give to you

No misdemeanour
There's a ring upon my finger

My loving you is a place where I surrender
In my heart, it's not hard to do
And all my worldly goods I give to you

Loving you is a place where I surrender
Touch my heart, no catch 22

All of a sudden it's gone
Too late to wish a friend farewell
Heard the sea in a shell
Said we would meet in other worlds

See how the moon, she cries
Cool how the tears fill up the sky as snow

Gotta touch the sky

Hold you head in my hand
A taste, a wish, a parting sigh
Takes the boat across the water
Heaves a gentle sigh

See how the moon, she cries
Cool how the tears fill up the sky as snow

Gotta touch the sky

All of a sudden it's gone
Too late to wish a friend farewell
Heard the sea in a shell
Said we would meet in other worlds

See how the moon, she cries
Cool how the tears fill up the sky as snow

Gotta touch the sky
Gotta touch the sky

On your own, when it all goes wrong
Like you're in gaol
Torn in two, threw the blame at you
Nightmare prevails

There is no guarantee
One crazy heart like me
Should I go curl up and die?

Surreal
Precious time is slipping away
Reveal
Don't go wishing your life away
The wheel
Of fortune keeps spinning on anyway
A steal
Precious time is running away

One line folds, and the next strikes gold
Finds me in gaol
Tried to run, gotta buy me some
Free time and bail

There is no guarantee
Fool for a hangman's tree
Should I go curl up and die?

Surreal
Precious time is slipping away
Reveal
Don't go wishing your life away
The wheel
Of fortune keeps on spinning anyway
A steal
Precious time is running away

There is no guarantee
One crazy heart like me
Should I go curl up and die?

Surreal
Precious time is slipping away
Reveal
Don't go wishing your life away
The wheel
Of fortune keeps spinning on anyway
A steal
Precious time is running away

Surreal
Precious time is slipping away
Reveal
Don't go wishing your life away
The wheel
Of fortune keeps on spinning anyway
A steal
