Erasure • Lyrics
Light At The End Of The World
Blinded by the vision
I turn and face my back to the wall
Cause I'm locked up in a rhythm
The prism of a big glitter ball
Wrapped around your finger
I'm caught up in the middle with you baby
With some laughter and drinking
There's very little else I can do
Then I go and drop a bombshell upon you
I been making eyes at somebody else
You're no longer number one
She loves the night and all that glitters
Her name in lights around the city
Don't you mess your life up Sunday girl
You rushing down like a roller-coaster
Night on the town gonna make the most of
We can dance till Sunday morning girl
You pushing and a shoving me
Baby like a bitch to the wall
But you're driving me crazy
Right up to fever pitch I could fall
When you shine down your love-light
I'm getting blinded by the sight and sound
She loves the night and all that glitters
Her name in lights around the city
Don't you mess your life up Sunday girl
Then I go and drop a bombshell upon you
I been making eyes at somebody baby
You're no longer number one
She loves the night and all that glitters
Her name in lights around the city
Don't you mess your life up Sunday girl
You rushing down like a roller-coaster
Night on the town gonna make the most of
We can dance till Sunday morning
We can dance till Sunday morning
We can dance till Sunday morning girl
Come and hold me and dissolve me
But I never do what I am told to
You enthuse me don't abuse me
At the worst of times you'd never lose me
There are times when I could fall in love with you
There was times when I would scream till I was blue
Don't get me wrong I can be strong
Then I could fall in love with you
Don't let me down take me to task
When I could fall in love with you
Like a child, like a child
I was dreaming we were sleeping
And you held me tight to keep believing
Don't upset me, I won't let you
Fall into a space that's empty
There are times when I could fall in love with you
There was times when I would scream till I was blue
Don't get me wrong, I can be strong
Then I could fall in love with you
Don't let me down, take me to task
When I could fall in love with you
Like a child, like a child
There are times when I could fall in love with you
There was times when I would scream till I was blue
Don't get me wrong, I can be strong
Then I would fall in love with you
Don't let me down, take me to task
When I would fall in love with you
Like a child, like a child
Don't get me wrong, I can be strong
Then I would fall in love with you
Don't let me down, take me to task
When I would fall in love with you
Like a child, like a child
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 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
I'm just saying I want my mummy back
Lost her to the drink but her soul's intact
Mama said to me be proud of who you are
She saw Jesus in the eyes of a broken man
Sail away I am learning my lesson
Mama sends her love and Godspeed you come home
One little white lie
Was enough to conceal my goodbye
Then I stole away kissed her farewell
And wished her the best for her life
Then I stole away woah like a thief in the night
I'm just saying not behind daddy's back
He takes care of her in his overtime
He's no saint I know as he goes around the town
Watch him cry himself to sleep, he's my daddy
Sail away, I will go it alone now
Leave my past behind to seek fortune and fame
One little white lie
Was enough to conceal my goodbye
Then I stole away kissed her farewell
And wished her the best for her life
Then I stole away woah like a thief in the night
Sail away, there's a storm in a teacup
Mama sends her love and Godspeed you come home
One little white lie
Was enough to conceal my goodbye
Then I stole away kissed her farewell
And wished her the best for her life
Then I stole away woah like a thief in the night
One little white lie
Was enough to conceal my goodbye
Then I stole away like a prodigal son
And wished her the best for her life
Then I stole away woah like a thief in the night
Fly away from a broken heart
You have your love I've got to know
What you say to me why d'you throw it all away
Where you go to I don't know
As tears of angels whisper softly through the trees
Calling to me hear their gently sighing pleas
I'm a fool if I think my babe'll come back
I'll be waiting still I'm starting to crack
But I care if you forget about me
And I cry and I cry 'til you take it all from my heart
Fly away upon the wings of love
Though I'll be here again tomorrow
Like an angel falling softly upon her knees
Calling to me hear her gently sighing pleas
I'm a fool if I think my babe'll come back
I'll be waiting still I'm starting to crack
And I care if you forget about me
And I cry and I cry 'til you take it all from my heart
I'm a fool if I think my babe'll come back
I'll be waiting still I'm starting to crack
And I'll care if you forget about me
And I cry and I cry 'til you take it all from my heart
Like a bubble that's floating on high above
I won't break down, I won't cry
But the colours are melting, I am fragile
I've been acting so coldly
And hope some day that you will forgive me
You are the one that knows me for who I really am
It'll all be gone in the morning we are lucky
Owe it all to fortune
Golden heart, tears of love
Shining will glow
There's a light at the end there of this tunnel
I am crawling slowly, I am small
What's been up with me lately
Hardly know me whose that in the mirror?
You are the one that knows my moods of joy and anger
Though you've been coping and lonely we are lucky
Owe it all to fortune
Golden heart, tears of love
Shining will glow
Golden heart, tears of love
Shining will glow
Golden heart, tears of love
Shining will glow
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 you're feeling lonely
Come along and be mine only
All it takes is a little trying
Please don't you leave me crying
If 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
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 game-shows 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
The ones I've chosen to ignore
Rent collectors at my door
I can't take it any more
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
What a situation
Senses gone and left me
Lies are like confetti on the floor
Words are leading nowhere delicate and tender
Tenterhooks that drive me to despair
Storms are blowing winds are calling to me
Be my escape, my reward
It is you I adore see me through
Where there are demons I see angels passing by
The morning after nights before I have tried
When a lover leaves you
Cuts you without knowing
The world just falls apart beneath you feet
Talk is cheap and useless nothing but excuses
Lies are like confetti in my hands
Storms are blowing winds are calling to me
Be my escape, my reward
It is you I adore see me through
When there are demons I see angels passing by
The morning after nights before I have tried
Be my escape, my reward
It is you I adore see me through
Where there are demons I see angels passing by
The morning after nights before I have tried
Where there are demons I see angels passing by
The morning after nights before I have tried
Where there are demons I see angels passing by
The morning after nights before I have tried
Come on angel you're in danger
Give me a sign now show me the way
We gotta do it now
Oh we gotta do it now
Come on angel times are strange
And I need a life and you are the one
Who can show me how
Umm we got do it now
Ooh and the light that you're sending me down
In the name of falling shadow-land our love is real
And ooh when you're deep inside
You can persuade me love
Our love is real, hold me now
Come on angel you're in danger
Give me a sign now show me the way
We gotta do it now
Oh we gotta do it now
Ooh by the time that you're landing alone
And you're losing control
Where you lay your love, you lay your love
And ooh when you're deep inside
You can persuade me love
Show me how, show me how, show me how
We gotta reach for the stars we gotta reach for the love
We gotta reach for it all we gotta reach
Talk with me, walk with me, play with me, stay with me angel
Ooh and the light that you're sending me down
In the name of falling shadow-land our love is real
And ooh when you're deep inside
You can persuade me love
Show me how, hold me now, hold me now
You've got to do it now
Talk with me, walk with me, play with me, stay with me angel
Talk with me, walk with me, play with me, stay with me angel
Talk with me, walk with me, play with me, stay with me angel
Talk with me, walk with me, play with me, stay with me angel
Talk with me, walk with me, play with me, stay with me angel
Ooooh, Ooooh
Ooooh, Ooooh
Ooooh there could be love in your eyes
I could be loving you deep my baby
Ooooh there could be love in your soul
I wanna feel the emotion
Ooooh there could be love in your heart
I want to feel it so deep down baby
Ooooh I could love you so bad
I want to give you devotion
Oh what's the matter with me now, baby
Feelings are mixed up inside
Come along and be mine only, child
You'd better be careful
Or you might just get what you are looking for
Now I'm in chains
Not exactly what i'm looking for
Ooooh, Ooooh
Ooooh I'm putting magic aside
I love the look in your eyes now baby
Ooooh it tells me you're mine
I want to dive in your ocean
Oh what's the matter with me now, baby
Feelings are mixed up inside
Come along and be mine only, child
You'd better be careful
Or you might just get what you are looking for
Now I'm in chains
Not exactly what i'm looking for
Ooooh, Ooooh
Ooooh, Ooooh
Ooooh, Ooooh
You'd better be careful
Or you might just get what you are looking for
Now I'm in chains
Not exactly what i'm looking for
You'd better be careful
Or you might just get what you are looking for
Now I'm in chains
Not exactly what i'm looking for
Time passes by, goes so fast then you die
It's enough just to be with you
You set your sights high, no regrets, no goodbye
Just a face in your mind for the ones
Cross my heart, cross my fingers
Cross my mind, cross my path
Cross my heart, hold my breathe
Space and time, our souls entwine
We are touching something spiritiual and devine
The lonesome part, when our souls part
But the sense in heaven, hear the lonely cry
I close my eyes, when I see your sweet smile
Been a while since you came and talked
Places I've been, and people I've seen
Simply pale into view, when compared
Cross my heart, cross my fingers, hold my breathe
Space and time, Our souls entwine
We are touching something spiritiual and devine
The lonesome part, when our souls part
But the sense in heaven hears the lonely cry
Space and time, our souls entwine
We are touching something spiritiual and devine
The lonesome part, when our souls part
But the sense in heaven hears the lonely cry
Space and time, our souls entwine
We are touching something spiritiual and devine
The lonesome part, when our souls part
But the sense in heaven hears the lonely cry
