Erasure • Lyrics
Buried Treasure II
There's something going on, there's something not quite right
There's something strange happening to me
There's someone at the door, hear voices in my head
It seems things aren't the way they ought to be
Who needs love like that?
Who needs love like that?
Seemed so clear before I held my point of view
I kept my conversations never changed
Now it's all gone wrong and words are kinda hard
Nothing else around me looks the same
Who needs love like that?
Who needs love like that?
Love can turn you upside-down, then leave you cold
Who needs love like that?
Who needs love like that?
Like to understand, I'd like to find out why
Remember all the lines I should say
But then I see your face and nothing really counts
Don't tell me now this feeling will stay
Leave you cold
It's plain to see you're losin' all control
Love can turn you upside-down then leave you cold
It's plain to see you're losin' all control
Who needs love like that?
Who needs love like that?
This is my story through an open door
I'd like to trust you but I can't be sure
It's in your eyes, it's in the way you sing
Your lies to me, they don't mean anything
Maybe one day we're gonna find some place
Maybe one day put on a different face
Watch from a window, see an old man cry
He's all alone we all just walk on by
There's no expression, there's no life there now
She's gone for good, this time he takes his bow
Maybe one day we're gonna find some place
Maybe one day put on a different face
Life is an exodus
God knows what's set for us
Could it be maybe one day?
They crossed the border, found a new land there
Ten thousand marching, it's the new Red Square
We pray in silence and our hands stay clean
We hide our faces, keep our hearts unseen
Maybe one day we gonna find some place
Maybe one day put on a different face
Life is an exodus
God knows what's set for us
Could it be maybe one day?
Maybe one day we gonna find some place
Maybe one day put on a different face
Welcome to the twilight zone
Where the starlight burns for a lonely soul
Where the sound of a whisper
Can melt the heart into a pot of gold
We have visions of many things
From Costa Rica to the burning ring
Oh will you stay outside
Like a castaway of a blond blue-eyed child
Oh Lordy, oh Lordy, oh, me oh my oh
Oh Lordy, oh Lordy, oh, me oh my
Oh with a shade of willow feel the wind blow
Hmmmm the white sails are bellowing
And we'll ride the seven seas
You could be my lord, I could be your king
And turn the winter snow to Spring
And the sound of the forest
Send you off into a dreamless state
If you're floating on an empty stream
I'll wake you up with a cup of tea
I'll bring you around
With my fingers through your hair
Oh Lordy, oh Lordy, oh, me oh my oh
Oh Lordy, oh Lordy, oh, me oh my
Oh with a shade of willow feel the wind blow
Hmmmm the white sales are bellowing
And we'll ride the seven seas
Oh with a shade of willow feel the wind blow
Hmmmm the white sales are bellowing
And we'll ride the seven seas
Oh with a shade of willow feel the wind blow
Hmmmm the white sales are bellowing
And we'll ride the seven seas
Oh with a shade of willow feel the wind blow
Hmmmm the white sales are bellowing
And we'll ride the seven seas
I never say die, all I say is live
Ooh and in the morning there's a brand new sun
On its way up to the sky
I never say cry
All I say is smile
Ooh, and when the radiator starts to boil
Shake and rattle on the wall
Ooh and you know it's a mirror to your soul
You have it
And then you notice that you're beautiful
I'm really, really beautiful
Ooh then you have it deep inside your soul
I never say steal, all I say is give
Ooh, and in the morning when the cat comes in
Dragging back half the night
When the trees come alive and the birds gather worms
Flowers begin to sing
Then you notice that you're beautiful
I'm really, really beautiful
Ooh then you have it deep inside your soul
Ooh and you know on this day
I can do anything
Ooh and you know on this day
I'll be free
Ooh and you know on this day
I can do anything
Ooh and you know on this day
I'll be free
I never say slip, all I say is glide
Ooh and when you're flying with the morning sun
On its way up to the sky
Ooh then you know it's a mirror to your soul
You have it
And then you notice that you're beautiful
I'm really, really beautiful
Ooh then you have it deep inside your soul
Mindless, findless, bright young things
Looking for escape in a plotless film
Frightened voices from far off places
Nothing like real life
Nothing comes near
Some colour to a sepia tone
Some water to fill the cloudless sky
Try to feel the splendour of it all
Embrace the honesty of nightfall
Try to feel the anguish of it all
Wrap yourself up in every facet of emotion
Hearts that cry diamond tears
Look to the glass faced once near
Twilight horses, weeping roses
When vanity speaks, nothing comes near
Scarlet to a sepia tone
Some water to fill the cloudless sky
Try to feel the splendour of it all
Embrace the honesty of nightfall
Try to feel the anguish of it all
Wrap yourself up in every facet of emotion
Some colour to a sepia tone
Some water to fill the cloudless sky
Try to feel the splendour of it all
Embrace the honesty of nightfall
Try to feel the anguish of it all
Wrap yourself up in every facet of emotion
(Woah, got a feeling they're on their way)
(Woah, got a feeling they're on their way)
(Can you feel love?)
(Can you feel joy?)
(Can you feel pain?)
(Feeling they're on their way)
Try to feel the splendour of it all
(Woah, got a feeling they're on their way)
(Can you feel love?)
Embrace the honesty of nightfall
(Can you feel joy?)
(Can you feel pain?)
Try to feel the anguish of it all
(Woah, got a feeling they're on their way)
Wrap yourself up in every facet of emotion
Remember that late night last September
When you held me, in your arms so tight?
I was feeling kind of low
My heart was blue, I was empty
'Til you came
But oh what a, Saturday night
Things were going right
As right as they'd ever be
I know that you love me
If they'd ever have told me that I'd find true love in every way
Would I cry 'til tomorrow?
Would I keep the non-believers away?
Was I shy? Was I good with this foolish heart?
Did I try to deny we would fall apart?
I remember that late night last September
When you held me in your arms so tight
I was feeling kind of blue
My heart was low, I was empty
'Til you came
But oh what a, Saturday night
Things were going right
As right as they'd ever be
I know that you love me
If they'd ever have told me that I'd find true love in every way
Would I cry 'til tomorrow?
Would I keep the non-believers away?
Was I shy? Was I good with this foolish heart?
Did I try to deny we would fall apart?
It won't be easy, it won't be hard
To find the reason, to find the rhyme
To get your feet back on the ground
To get your feet back on the ground
We'll be going home
Where the passion
Finds a perfect love
Finds a perfect love
We'll be going home
Where the passion
Finds a perfect love
Finds a perfect love
It won't be easy, it won't be hard
To find the reason, to find the rhyme
To get your feet back on the ground
To get your feet back on the ground
We'll be going home
Where the passion
Finds a perfect love
Finds a perfect love
We'll be going home
Where the passion
Finds a perfect love
Finds a perfect love
The miracle of love
Blinds me with your charms
The miracle of love
Take me in your arms
Longing to sail on
Through the night to the stars
On until sunrise
Where the moon hides her tears
All through the years
If I could see the world
Through someone else's eyes
If I could see through you
Would I cast you to one side?
And if you gave it all
Would I throw it all away?
Like the leaves in autumn winds
From the window in the kitchen
To the fireside by the chair
Sat in familiar surroundings
Warm night air
Under the bridges that were burning
Before we reached the other side
All the feelings I remember
I cannot hide
Not for want of trying
And if you held me here
Would the moment fade away?
Into obscurity
Like the night becomes the day
And if you gave it all
Would I throw it all away?
Like the leaves in autumn winds
From the window in the kitchen
To the fireside by the chair
Sat in familiar surroundings
Warm night air
Under the bridges that were burning
Before we reached the other side
All the feelings I remember
I cannot hide
Not for want of trying
Longing to sail on
Through the night to the stars
On until sunrise
Where the moon hides her tears
Longing to sail on
Through the night to the stars
On until sunrise
Where the moon hides her tears
All through the years
All through the years
All through the years
Oh voices speak
When times are hard
Your soul to keep
Far from insane
My ever lasting flame
My ever lasting flame
And is it real, or fantasy?
We party like there's no tomorrow
Better days are still to come
And you to me are everything
Reach out and touch me
For once let it just be
Time enough to be lonely
One perfect day
I'll make you mine
I heard you say
Locked in a frame
My ever lasting flame
You're my ever lasting flame
And is it real, or fantasy?
Get on my knees and beg for mercy
Better days are still to come
And you to me are all I ever
Reach out and touch me
For once let it just be
Time enough to be lonely
Time enough
And is it real, or fantasy?
We party like there's no tomorrow
Better days are ours to come
And you to me are all I ever
Reach out and touch me
For once let it just be
Time enough to be lonely
Reach out and touch me
For once let it just be
Time enough to be lonely
Reach out and touch me
For once let it just be
Time enough to be lonely
My love, mmmm meet me tonight
Hey beautiful, full of life and such
Come on, say you really turn me on
Oh you've got the moves
To keep your body strong
So dear, what's the big idea?
Got to work it out
So clear and far
My love, will you go with me tonight?
It's chemical, it's a universal thing
No ties, you've come on all over shy
Ooh my heart goes boom
In a twinkle of your eye
So dear, what's the big idea?
Got to work it out
So clear and far
So long, see you really turn me on
Boy you've got the moves
To keep your body strong
So dear, tell me what's the big idea?
Got to work it out
So clear and far
Perchance to dream
Dive into the wall of sound, yeah
Crashing all over me
Turning my world upside down, yeah
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
Lights up the soft wood
And then I see, and I start to breathe
The mountain in moonshine
Stars on my breath, scares me the best
Flickering mellow, shadows
Climb through the air
Falling up to brush 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 me under
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
Time with me
Calling the day, heaven will come
We'll win the race, to real love
Day by day, freedom will come
And we'll escape to real love
Do-you, do-you, do-you?
Like the things, like the things, the cruel things that we do
Do-you, do-you, do-you?
Like the things, like the things, the cruel things that we do
Children of new men
Colours of human kind, in shadow
Good is your loving
Growing and sharing storms
Matriarch, matriarch
Calling the day, heaven will come
We'll win the race, to real love
Day by day, freedom will come
And we'll escape to real love
Children of new men
Colours of human kind, in shadow
Good is your loving
Growing and sharing storms
Matriarch, matriarch, matriarch
Calling the day, heaven will come
We'll win the race, to real love
Day by day, freedom will come
And we'll escape to real love
Calling the day, heaven will come
We'll win the race, to real love
Day by day, freedom will come
And we'll escape to real love
Calling the day, heaven will come
We'll win the race, to real love
Take me to Heaven one more time
The deeper I fall into your eyes
Takes me to Heaven
Will I ever be your hero?
Or is that your fantasy?
Head up in the clouds
Never coming down
Spinning to the ground
Can I look away, when you're dancing?
Do your hips gyrate and sway?
Head up in the clouds
Never coming down
Chained them to the ground
Honey, make me smile
Honey, you make me smile
Baby you go my way, I'll go your way
Let our thoughts entwine
Wouldn't be a shock, to the system
'Cause your arms are made of steel
Made to carry me
Maybe marry me
Baby carry me
All I do is stop, look and listen
Baby we were meant to be
Head up in the clouds
Baby coming down
Spinning to the ground
Maybe worth your while
Maybe out of style?
Baby you go my way, I'll go your way
Pain as if my heart's intended
Take me to Heaven one more time
The deeper I fall into your eyes
Takes me to Heaven
I don't want to learn my ABC
As long as I know whose minding me
Takes me to Heaven
Take me to Heaven one more time
The deeper I fall into your eyes
Takes me to Heaven
I don't want to learn my ABC
As long as I know whose minding me
Takes me to Heaven
Looking on a weather chart
Woe is me
Rain for another week
Woah ho
Better get your umbrella out
So to speak
Don't want to cool you out
Oh no
Without trees, where would we be?
And what use is money?
Useless
And it's true, I'm doting on you
Say that you want me, honey
Drive in the car
Make a turn in reverse
Got the wind in my hair
It hypnotise
Baby you, are the queen
Baby doll, baby doll
Better go and put the kettle on
Cup of tea
Is all I need right now
Looking for a sunny spell
By the sea
Rock pool from mud pie, yeah
Without trees, where would we be?
A field full of flowers
Hours
And it's true, I'm doting on you
Say that you want me, honey
Drive in the car
Make a turn in reverse
Got the window wipers on
They hypnotise
Baby you, are the queen
Baby doll, baby doll
Without trees, where would we be?
And what use is money? Useless
Drive in the car
Make a turn in reverse
Got the window wipers on
They hypnotise
Drive in the car
Make a turn in reverse
Got the window wipers on
They hypnotise
Baby you, are the queen
Baby doll, baby doll
