Lyrics Erasure - The Soldier's Return

Lyrics Erasure - The Soldier's Return

Slow the years go by
They stole your man off to war
Will you see the child
As you sing battle songs?

And it pains me
To think of the soldier's plight
I will pray
For your god to guide you home

And she cries for the soldier's return
Despair at feeling alone for so long
By the light of the candle that burns
For his life for the day of the soldier's return

Hear the cannon fire
Lost voices echo in the night
See the spoils of war
Young men are falling, ooh

Hear the drummer
Marching over the hill
Love returning
And the graves of the battle lie still

And she cries for the soldier's return
Despair at feeling alone for so long
By the light of the candle that burns
For his life for the day of the soldier's return

Hear the drummer
Marching over the hill
Love returning
And the graves of the battle lie still

And she cries for the soldier's return
Despair at feeling alone for so long
By the light of the candle that burns
For his life for the day of the soldier's return

Young men are falling

Lyrics Erasure - Hideaway

Lyrics Erasure - Hideaway

One day the boy decided
To let them know the way he felt inside
He could not stand to hide it
His mother she broke down and cried

Oh my father
Why don't you talk to me now
Oh my mother
Do you still cry yourself to sleep

Are you still proud of your little boy
Don't be afraid (Be afraid)
You don't have to hide away

The boy he was rejected
By the people that he cared for
It's not what they expected
But he could not keep it secret anymore

Far from home now
Waiting by the telephone
There's a new world
You can make it on your own

Are you still proud of your little boy
Don't be afraid (Be afraid)
You don't have to hide away
No

(Don't be afraid)
(Love will mend your broken wing)
(Time will slip away)
(Learn to be brave)

Oh my father
Why don't you talk to me now
Oh my mother
Do you still cry yourself to sleep

Are you still proud of your little boy
Don't be afraid (be afraid)
You don't have to hide away

(Don't be afraid)
(Love will mend your broken wing)
(Time will slip away)
(Learn to be brave)

Lyrics Erasure - When Will I See You Again

Lyrics Erasure - When Will I See You Again

When will I see you again?
When will we share precious moments?

Will I have to wait forever?
Will I have to suffer and cry the whole night through?

When will I see you again?
When will our hearts beat together?

Are we in love or just friends?
Is this my beginning or is this the end?

When will I see you again?
When will I see you again?
When will I see you again?

Are we in love or just friends?
Is this my beginning or is this the end?

When will I see you again?
When will I see you again?
When will I see you again?
When will I see you again?
When will I see you again?
When will I see you again?
When will I see you again?

Lyrics Erasure - Love Is A Looser

Lyrics Erasure - Love Is A Looser

Love me forever
Let me know that you'll
Never leave me out in the cold
Never leave me alone
I'll show you devotion
Can't control my emotion
I've got love on my side
Hey what a surprise
They say love
Is just infatuation
I say love
Is dancing 'cross the nation
Love's so appealing
Leaves you rockin' and reelin'
How did it happen this time
Got love on my mind
Hold me and kiss me
Tell me how much you missed me
How can they keep us apart
Got love in our hearts
They say we're just
Two more crazy lovers
I say all we need
Is one another
Oh Lord how they gonna stop us today
My word see how the passionless play
Love me forever
Let me know that you'll
Never leave me out in the cold
Never leave me alone
I'll show you devotion
Can't control my emotion
I've got love on my side
Hey what a surprise
They say love
Is just infatuation
I say love
Is dancing 'cross the nation
Oh Lord how they gonna stop us today
My word see how the passionless play
Dancin' across the nation
Dancin' across the nation

Lyrics Erasure - I'll Be There

Lyrics Erasure - I'll Be There

When you throw your arms around me
You know that I'll be there
'Till you were lost in the way you found me
You know that I'll be there

We all need someone just to keep hanging on
It's enough to hold you here in my arms

The light that we share gonna light up the sky
I sit and I stare as if I don't care
It's just the child in me won't go away
I beg you to stay this is my prayer

When I was young I was selfish darling I wanted my own way
You were the shock to the system darling
A chance for sudden sway
We all make mistakes I'm all over the place
But you know that I'll be there in the end

The light that we share gonna light up the sky
I sit and I stare and I don't know why
It's just the child in me won't go away
I beg you to stay this is my prayer

The light that we share gonna light up the sky
I sit and I stare and I don't know why
It's just the child in me won't go away
I beg you to stay this is my prayer

The light that we share gonna light up the sky
I sit and I stare and I don't know why
It's just the child in me won't go away

Lyrics Erasure - Victim Of Love

Lyrics Erasure - Victim Of Love

I don't want to look
Like some kind of fool
I don't want to break
My heart over you
I'm building a wall
Everyday it's getting higher
This time I won't end up
Another victim of love

You say that I could
Show some emotion
That I've been
Keeping secrets from you
But I can see through
All your sweet talk
And all of your affection untrue
I'm gonna find you out
If I scream and I shout
You won't break down my protection

I don't want to look
Like some kind of fool
I don't want to break
My heart over you
I'm building a wall
Everyday it's getting higher
This time I won't end up
Another victim of love

I'm gonna lock up
What I'm feeling inside
Ain't no way you can
Break down the door
'Cause this time I've learned my lesson
You can take this declaration of war
Step right back
Put on your coat and your hat
Gonna avoid all complications

I don't want to look
Like some kind of fool
I don't want to break
My heart over you
I'm building a wall
Everyday it's getting higher
This time I won't end up
Another victim of love

Lyrics Erasure - Gone Crazy

Lyrics Erasure - Gone Crazy

I guess I'm leaving on that train tomorrow
Yeah, I'm leaving and I'm not coming home
I'm not playing stupid games no more
Knocked me down again onto the floor
I believe it's something we could talk about
I believe there was one time we might work it out
Oh no, now I don't know
I've gone crazy thinking about you
Walk away is all I can do
What's the difference, one more lie
Let's pretend and say goodbye
And now it's over, early morning rising
People walking, faces I don't see
Rain is falling, it don't mean a thing
Gray clouds forming in this world I'm in
I believe that I could make you happy one more time
Maybe we took each other for another ride
Now, I don't know
I've gone crazy thinking about you
Walk away is all I can do
What's the difference, one more lie
Let's pretend and say goodbye
I believe that I could make you happy one more time
Maybe we took each other for another ride
Now, I don't know
I've gone crazy thinking about you
Walk away is all I can do
What's the difference, one more lie
Let's pretend and say goodbye
I've gone crazy thinking about you
Walk away is all I can do
What's the difference, one more lie
Let's pretend and say goodbye

Lyrics Erasure - You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'

Lyrics Erasure - You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'

You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips
And there's no tenderness like before in your fingertips
You're trying hard not to show it baby
But baby, baby I know it

You've lost that lovin' feelin'
Woah, that lovin' feelin'
You've lost that lovin' feelin'
Now it's gone, gone, gone, woah

Now there's no welcome look in your eyes when I reach for you
And now you're starting to criticise everything I do
It makes me just feel like crying baby
'Cause baby, something beautiful's dyin'

You lost that lovin' feelin'
Woah, that lovin' feelin'
You've lost that lovin' feelin'
Now it's gone, gone, gone, woah

Baby, baby, I'd get down on my knees for you
If you would only love me like you used to do
We had a love, a love, a love you don't find everyday
So don't, don't, don't, don't let it slip away

Baby (baby), baby (baby)
I beg you please (please), please (please)
I need your love (need your love)
I need your love (need your love)
Just bring it on back (bring it on back)
Just bring it on back (bring it on back)

Bring back that lovin' feelin'
Woah, that lovin' feelin'
Bring back that lovin' feelin'
Now it's gone, gone, gone, woah

Bring back that lovin' feelin'
Woah, that lovin' feelin'
Bring back that lovin' feelin'
Now it's gone, gone, gone
And I can't go on, woah

Lyrics Erasure - Let's Take One More Rocket To The Moon

Lyrics Erasure - Let's Take One More Rocket To The Moon

Let's take one more rocket to the moon
Before we wake I'll kiss your eyes and lie between
While you sleep is all around
Just look up in the air and find it
Just wish upon a star and find it

It's dawning I'm gently falling
The rhythm of water and windows are white
Darling soft as your pillow I'm slowly drowning
Go spiraling down as you catch your breath

A key chain in your pocket just for luck
I hold it in and close my eyes to hide a tear
And what we need is all around us
Just say a little prayer and find it
Just look up in the air and find it

Walking into your life love without knowing
I'm out of my mind
Calling straight to your heart
I'm slowly drowning and morning is here
As I catch my breath

And what we need is all around us
Just look up in the air and find it
Just say a little prayer and find it

Walking into your life love without knowing
I'm out of my mind
Calling straight to your heart
I'm slowly drowning and morning is here

Lyrics Erasure - Rock Me Gently

Lyrics Erasure - Rock Me Gently

Past five in the morning, feeling worse for the weather it seems
But what a feeling, what an endless night this has been

And we can't stay here, 'cause we won't be forever young
We'll have to go down before innocence is lost

And I dream you're with me
You hold me sweetly
And rock me gently to sleep
In your arms

Woah, woah

I've been getting used to all the crying and the games that you play
And if I carry on I'm going to end up with a hole in my head

And there's more to life than thrills and spills and dollar bills
We'll have to get through, some way and somehow

And I dream I'm with you
You hold me sweetly
And rock me gently to sleep
In your arms

I dream you're with me
You hold me sweetly
And rock me gently to sleep
In your arms
Woah, woah

And I dream I'm with you
You hold me sweetly
And rock me gently to sleep
In your arms

I dream you're with me
You hold me sweetly
And rock me gently to sleep
In your arms

Lyrics Erasure - Love Is The Rage

Lyrics Erasure - Love Is The Rage

Woman, if I were a woman I would be man enough to keep you warm
And, boy, if I were a man I would be strong enough to hold you tight
And when I cry, and I'm in the mood I will try to keep from 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
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 your out of reach, I would sigh, and stomp, and prove my speech
Love is divine
Love is the rage
Leave me alone
Lovely day
Love is bizarre
Lover be mine
Don't wanna lose ya
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

Lyrics Erasure - Breathe

Lyrics Erasure - Breathe

Twenty-seven times I paint the city in lights
Now I changed my mind
I was living fast now I'm running on empty
And I feel yeah I feel
You're gonna go, let me go

Breathe, and I breathe
It's bitter without you I can't live without you
And I'm in love with you

Stood the test of time
Though I treated you rough you were always kind
I let my head rule my heart now I'm feeling so lonely
And I feel it's the deal
You're letting me go gonna go

Breathe and I breathe
Hollow without you I can't live without you
And I'm in love with you

Breathe I believe
Empty without you I can't live without you
And I'm in love with you

Breathe, and I breathe
It's bitter without you I can't live without you
And I'm in love with you

Breathe I believe
Empty without you I can't live without you
And I'm in love with you

Breathe I believe
I can't live without you I can't live with you
And I'm in love with you

Lyrics Erasure - Take Me On A Highway

Lyrics Erasure - Take Me On A Highway

Bye bye baby, take me on a highway
This time it could be heaven
Even for a little while, didn't want to miss you
Maybe I can make you feel fine
I don't know what you want me to do
But I'm losing control of my senses
And I know I've been counting on you
Just to show that you really care
I can see that your star is ascending over me
But I don't wanna go there
'Cause I'm feeling so scared
I've had enough of this love
And you calling the shots outta thin air
And I'm full of emotion
When you don't believe me
'Cause baby, here comes a crash
And I'm dying inside when you leave me
I don't know what you're putting me through
But it seems that the party is over
In and out of love with you
And I think that I'm losing my mind
I can see that your star is ascending over me
But I don't wanna go there
'Cause I'm feeling so scared
I've had enough of this love
And you calling the shots outta thin air
And I'm full of emotion
When you don't believe me
'Cause baby, here comes a crash
And I'm dying inside when you leave me
But I don't wanna go there
'Cause I'm feeling so scared
I've had enough of this love
And you calling the shots outta thin air
And I'm full of emotion
When you don't believe me
'Cause baby, here comes a crash
And I'm dying inside when you leave me
But I don't wanna go there
'Cause I'm feeling so scared
I've had enough of this love
And you calling the shots outta thin air

Lyrics Erasure - S.O.S.

Lyrics Erasure - S.O.S.

Where are those happy days?
They seem so hard to find
I tried to reach for you
But you have closed your mind
What ever happened to our love?
I wish I understood
It used to be so nice
It used to be so good

[Chorus:]
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
Though I try, how can I carry on?

You seemed so far away
Though you were standing near
You made 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

[Chorus]

When you're gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone (When you're gone)
Though I try, how can I carry on?

[Chorus]

When you're gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone (When you're gone)
Though I try, how can I carry on?
[Repeat]

Carry on.

Lyrics Erasure - Take Me Back

Lyrics Erasure - Take Me Back

The way to your heart
The way to your heart

There are voices like water
Inside your heart
Echo

Take me back to the place where I once belonged
This could be any place
A place where you and I could sing this song
Take me back where I hear waterfalls flowing

Let me dive into the lake where winter hides the snow
Then comes the summertime
Fields of scarlet poppies grow
Take me back where I see butterflies to-ing, fro-ing

And the river flows
I am never gonna take it back again
And the river flows
I am never gonna get it back again

We don't know anything
Trapped in a world full of strangers
Please don't tell me anything
I'd rather fall into you

Let me sleep a little while underneath the tree
And dream of dragonflies
Where the weary willow weeps for me
Take me back where I see dandelions blowing

And the river flows
I am never gonna take it back again

And the river flows
I am never gonna get it back again
And the river flows
I am never gonna take it back again

And the river flows
I am never gonna get it back again
And the river flows
I am never gonna take it back again

We don't know anything
Trapped in a world full of strangers
Please don't tell me anything
I'd rather fall into you

Lyrics Erasure - Dreamlike State

Lyrics Erasure - Dreamlike State

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, you know what I've said and done
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, you know what I've said and done

Lyrics Erasure - No Doubt

Lyrics Erasure - No Doubt

Where it is you wont say, but it hurts
Put your lips next to mine and apart
Why wont you open your heart?
I feel it coming it grows up my spine

I'm dying to show you what love is about
The tears that are falling
There's no room for doubt
For all the changes we've been through

It's an art just to give, will I learn?
To visualize what you want from my life
It's more than enough just to gaze in your eyes
I'm dying to show you what love is about

To tease you and please you
We must work it out
I know all your secrets so sad
For all the changes we've been through

Lyrics Erasure - Sucker For Love

Lyrics Erasure - Sucker For Love

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

Lyrics Erasure - I Don't Know Why

Lyrics Erasure - I Don't Know Why

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 breath

Space and time
Our souls entwine
We are touching something
Spiritual and divine

The lonesome heart
When our souls part
But the saints in heaven
Hear the lonely cry

I close my eyes
And 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 breath

Space and time
Our souls entwine
We are touching something
Spiritual and divine

The lonesome heart
When our souls part
But the saints in heaven
Hear the lonely cry

Space and time
Our souls entwine
We are touching something
Spiritual and divine

The lonesome heart
When our souls part
But the saints in heaven
Hear the lonely cry

Space and time
Our souls entwine
We are touching something
Spiritual and divine

The lonesome heart
When our souls part
But the saints in heaven
Hear the lonely cry

Lyrics Erasure - Don't Dance

Lyrics Erasure - Don't Dance

Anything you want
Everything you need
Every time you take
What's on offer

You can step on out
You can do without
You don't have to be
Like every other

Don't dance to the rhythm
Do something 'bout it
Don't dance to the rhythm
You can do without it

Always stay in line
Fool you every time
Wonder why it ends up in sorrow
You don't have to go

All you say is no
There's no rhythm that you have to follow
Don't dance to the rhythm
Do something 'bout it

Don't dance to the rhythm
You can do without it
Everywhere you go
Everything you do

Got to make the best
Just that bit better
You can step on out
You can do without

You don't have to be
Like every other
Don't dance to the rhythm
Do something 'bout it

Don't dance to the rhythm
You can do without it
