Echo & The Bunnymen - Heaven Up Here

Ohh...Where are you now

I'm over here

We've got those empty pockets

And we can't afford the beer

We're smoking holes and we've got only dreams

And we're so damn drunk we can't see the stairs

The apple cart upset my head's little brain

This little moon in the sky upset my head with a brain

I saw it yippee, I did, I swear

Walking through the hallway

Crawling up the stairs

Abebe baby baby baby Bekila

Given up on whisky

Taken up with tequila

I'm on my own in my blind alley

I turn myself around

So it's swallowing me

Watch the guitar

Watch the guitar

Groovy groovy people

We're all groovy groovy people

Groovy groovy people

We're all groovy groovy people

Groovy groovy people

Groovy groovy people

I wonder why

Me and the wall

We're okay, we're okay

F-F-Faustus you've got nothing to fear

It may be hell down there

'Cause it's heaven up here

I'd have given forever for a few good years

But too much of a muchness is to much you hear

The hammer on my chest was an abominable pain

the anvil on my belly was an abdominal strain

We've got the bottle

Go take the bottle

Go take a sip

Echo & The Bunnymen - Never Stop

Good God, you said

Is that the only thing you care about

Splitting up the money

And share it out

The cake's being eaten

Straight through the mouth

Poison

Poised to come back in

Season

For all the ones who lack

Reason

Measure by measure, drop by drop

And pound for pound, we're taking stock

Of all the treasure still unlocked

The love you found must never stop

The king is dead

And long live the people who aim above

All the simple stuff never understood

Like right from bad and wrong from good

Deny

That you were ever tempted by the

Lie

That there's an answer in the

Sky

Measure by measure, drop by drop

And pound for pound, we're taking stock

Of all the treasure still unlocked

The love you found must never stop

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Never stop

Never stop

Never stop

Never stop

Never stop

Never stop

Never stop

Never stop

Never stop

Measure by measure, drop by drop

And pound for pound, we're taking stock

Of all the treasure still unlocked

The love you found must never

Measure by measure, drop by drop

And pound for pound, we're taking stock

Of all the treasure still unlocked

The love you found must never stop

(Stop) Never stop

(Stop stop) Never stop (Stop)

Never stop (Stop stop)

Never stop (Stop stop stop)

Never stop (Stop stop stop)

Never stop

Echo & The Bunnymen - The Puppet

I'll practice my fall

For practice makes perfect

Chained to the wall

For maximum hold

The window's too far

Too far from my legs

Open the door and let out the cold

You knew about this

With your head in your hands

All along

I was the puppet

I was the puppet

Trampolines broken

Ceiling has come down

The ache in my back tells me

Something's gone wrong

Rocking horse rocks

As the wallpaper peels

Curtain would like to know

What he has done

You knew about this

With your head in your hands

All along

I was the puppet

I was the puppet

We're the salt of the earth

(I'll practice my fall for practice makes perfect)

And we know what to say

(Chained to the wall for maximum hold)

We're the salt of the earth

(The window's too far too far from my legs)

And we know our place

(Open the door and let out the cold)

You knew about this

With your head in your hands

All along

I was the puppet

I was the puppet

All along

(You knew about this)

With your head in your hands

All along

(You knew about this)

I was the puppet

I was the puppet

(You knew about this)

Head in your hands

(You knew about this)

I was the puppet

I was the puppet

(We're the salt of the earth)

You knew about this

(We know what to say)

Your head in your hands

(We're the salt of the earth)

All along

((You knew about this))

(We know our place)

I was the puppet

(We're the salt of the earth)

All along

(We know what to say)

((You knew about this))

Your head in your hands

(We're the salt of the earth)

I was the puppet

((You knew about this))

(We know what to say)

I was the puppet

Echo & The Bunnymen - New Direction

Out on a limb

Did you see what the cat dragged in

Take it on the chin

Catching fire on a roof of tin

You've learnt to speak and you're professing

The right to teach us our direction

But I found out on close inspection

True imperfection

I'm looking for a new direction

Where in the world am I?

I took the word the word was resurrection

Then you took me out to climb

Higher and higher

Higher and higher

Higher and higher

Kissing the spires

Higher and higher

Higher and higher

Higher and higher

Souls on fire

Inside of my head

I heard what the good Lord said

"Beware" he said

If you don't you might end up dead

You suck the air right out of me

But though you suck you cannot see

That life and living is not free

Though you live you do not breathe

I'm looking for a new direction

Where in the world am I?

I took the word the word was resurrection

And then you took me out to climb

Higher and higher

Higher and higher

Higher and higher

Kissing the spires

Higher and higher

Higher and higher

Higher and higher

Souls on fire

I have changed

But still my heart

Remains intact

And true love stays

But will our hearts

Retain their lack of

No sense and no direction

Who in the world am I?

I took the word the word was resurrection

And then you took me out to climb

Higher and higher

Higher and higher

Higher and higher

Kissing the spires

Higher and higher

Higher and higher

Higher and higher

Souls on fire

Start confessing

Start confessing

All my evils would be blessed

If to God I did confess

Wipe the slate and see if I

Ate the bread and drank the wine

So as you're leaving I take possession

Just take the bottle and start confessing

Echo & The Bunnymen - Run, Run, Run (Live)

Teenage Mary said to Uncle Dave

"I sold my soul, must be saved

Gonna take a walk down to Union Square

You never know who you're gonna find there"

You gotta run, run, run, run, run

Take a drag or two

Run, run, run, run, run

Gypsy Death and you

Tell you whatcha do

Marguerita Passion had to get her fix

She wasn't well, she was getting sick

Went to sell her soul, down to Union Square

Didn't know, thinks she could buy it

And she would run, run, run, run, run

Take a drag or two

Run, run, run, run, run

Gypsy Death and you

Tell you whatcha do

Beardless Harry, what a waste

Couldn't even get a small-town taste

Rode the trolleys down to forty-seven

Figured he was good to get himself to heaven

Cause he had to run, run, run, run, run

Take a drag or two

Run, run, run, run, run

Gypsy Death and you

Tell you whatcha do

Seasick Sarah had a golden nose

Hobnail boots wrapped around her toes

When she turned blue, all the angels screamed

They didn't know they couldn't make the scene

She had to run, run, run, run, run

Take a drag or two

Run, run, run, run, run

Gypsy Death and you

Tell you whatcha do

Take me home

(originally recorded by The Velvet Underground)

Echo & The Bunnymen - Angels And Devils

Call it a day

When night becomes our mad escape

Forgetting the things you mean to say

When all the right words come too late and

Everything falls out of place

Under the pillow

Out of the race

Out of the window

Devils on my shoulder

So, so happy

When happiness spells misery

And mister me hoping to be

Where ugliness meets beauty

Hope if you'll see

The demon in you

The angel in me

The jesus in you

The devil in me

Angels on my shoulder

Call it a day

When night becomes our bad escape

Forgetting the things you mean to say

When all the right words come too late and

Everything falls out of place

Under the pillow

Out of the race

Out of the window

Devils on my shoulder

So, so happy

When happiness spells misery

And mister me hoping to be

Where ugliness meets beauty

And if you see'll see the demon in you

The angel in me

The jesus in you

The devil in me

The demon's in you

The devil's in me

Devil on my shoulder

Angels coming closer

Echo & The Bunnymen - Crystal Days

Here am I

Whole at last with a golden view

Looking for hope

And I hope it's you

Splitting my heart

Cracked right in two

The pleasure of pain endured

To purify our misfit ways

And magnify our crystal days

Where are you

In shadows only I can see

Looking for hope

And you hope it's me

Tattered and torn and born to be

Building a world where we can

Purify our misfit ways

And magnify our crystal days

Pure and to magnify

Here am I

Whole at last with a golden view

Looking for hope

And I know it's you

Splitting my heart

Cracked right in two

The pleasure of pain and joy

To purify our misfit ways

And magnify our crystal days

Purify our misfit ways

And magnify our crystal days

Do do do do do do do do

Do do do do do do do do

Do do do do do do do do

Do do do do do do do do

Echo & The Bunnymen - Heroin (Live)

I don't know just where I'm going,
But I'm gonna try for the kingdom if I can,
'Cause it makes me feel like I'm a man
When I put a spike into my vein,
And I'll tell 'ya, things aren't quite the same,
When I'm rushin' on my run,
And I feel just like Jesus' son,
And I guess that I just don't know,
And I guess that I just don't know.

I have made the big decision:
I'm gonna try to nullify my life.

'Cause when the blood begins to flow,
When it shoots up the dropper's neck,
When I'm closing in on death,
And you can't help me now, you guys,
And all you sweet girls with all your sweet talk,
You can all go take a walk.
And I guess that I just don't know,
And I guess that I just don't know.

I wish that I was born a thousand years ago...
I wish that I'd sail the darkened seas,
On a great big clipper ship,
Going from this land here to that,
In a sailor's suit and cap,
Away from the big city
Where a man can not be free
Of all of the evils of this town,
And of himself, and those around.

Oh, and I guess that I just don't know.
Oh, and I guess that I just don't know.

Heroin, be the death of me.
Heroin, it's my wife and it's my life,
Because a mainer to my vein
Leads to a center in my head,
And then I'm better off than dead,
Because when the smack begins to flow,
I really don't care anymore
About all the Jim-Jim's in this town,
And all the politicians makin' busy sounds,
And everybody puttin' everybody else down,
And all the dead bodies piled up in mounds,
'Cause when the smack begins to flow,
Then I really don't care anymore.
Ah, when the heroin is in my blood,
And that blood is in my head,
Then thank God that I'm as good as dead,
Then thank your God that I'm not aware,
And thank God that I just don't care,
And I guess I just don't know,
And I guess I just don't know

(originally recorded by The Velvet Underground)

Echo & The Bunnymen - Rollercoaster

Let's go
Do the caterpillar
Freak show

In a hall of mirrors
Move on 'til there's nothing left
Do the levitation on the wall of death

Move a little closer
Move a little closer
Move a little closer
Ride the rollercoaster

Enter this world of mine
To find me
Leave it while your downhill slides
Behind me

Hip-hop
Do ya understand me?
Flip-flop
I've got to go
Got me
Got me where you want me
Don't I
Don't I just know?

Move a little closer
Move a little closer
Move a little closer
Ride the rollercoaster

I'm laughing about the things you're attacking
Keep saying what you say,it's all been said before
It doesn't really matterwhen you chitter chitter chatter
'Cos all it is is talking

Ghost train
Stopping at my station
Helter skelter down the wheel of life
Gotcha!
Got the motivation
Motive's
Braking tonight

Move a little closer
Move a little closer
Move a little closer
Ride the rollercoaster

Changing this world of mine
With sparkle and shine
Out of orbit and out of time
This world will be mine

Tell me it's true
Ride boldly ride
Planet to planet
Shoreline to sky

Of all the things
In all this world
The saddest thing's
The saddest girl
Don't you just know

Move a little closer
Move a little closer
Move a little closer
Ride the rollercoaster

Echo & the Bunnymen - My Kingdom

I chop and I change and the mystery thickens
There's blood on my hands and you want me to listen
To brawn and to brain when the truth's in the middle
Born of the grain like all good riddles

B-b-burn the skin off and climb the roof top
Thy will be done
B-b-bite the nose off and make it the most of
Your king- kingdom kingdom kingdom

You kill when you talk and the enemy weakens
Your words start to walk when you're not even speaking
If my heart is a war its soldiers are bleeding
If my heart is a war its soldiers are dead

B-b-b-burn the skin off and climb the roof top
Thy will be done
B-b-bite the nose off and make it the most of
Your king- kingdom kingdom kingdom

Do do do do do do do, do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do, do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do, do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do, do do do do do do do

I've lost and I've gained and while I was thinking
You cut off my hands when I wanted to twist
If you know how to dance to Boney Maroney
He's doing the ballet on both of his wrists

B-b-b-burn the skin off and climb the roof top
Thy will be done
B-b-bite the nose off and make it the most of
Your k-k- k- k- k- kingdom, king-k- k- k- k-

B-b-b-burn the skin off and climb the roof top
And I will be done
B-b-bite the nose off and make the most of
Your king- kingdom, kingdom, kingdom

(You're a bitter malignous person)
(And the death is well overdue)
(You suck the blood that kills you)
(You kiss the hand that hates you)

(You're a bitter malignous person)
(And your death is well overdue)
(Your sucking bitter pain)

Echo & The Bunnymen - The Back Of Love

I'm on the chopping block
Chopping off my stopping thought
Self doubt and selfism
Were the cheapest things I ever bought
When you say it's love
D'you mean the back of love
When you say it's love
D'you mean the back of love?

We're taking advantage of
Breaking the back of love
We're taking advantage of
Breaking the back of love

Easier said than done you said
But it's more difficult to say
With eyes bigger than our bellies
We want to but we can't look away
What were you thinking of
When you dreamt that up?
What were you thinking of
When you dreamt that up?

Taking advantage of
Breaking the back of love

When you're surrounded by a simple chain of events
(Behind my eyes, behind my eyes)
(Your eyes don't lie)
Eventually you'll shack those shackles off
(Dreams above those eyes)
(Those eyes)

We can't tell our left from right
But we know we love extremes
Getting to grips with the ups and downs
Because there's nothing in between
When you say that's love
D'you mean the back of love
When you say that's love
D'you mean the back of love?

Taking advantage of
Breaking the back of love

What were you thinking of
When you dreamt that up?

We're taking advantage of
We're breaking the back of love
Breaking the back of love

Echo & The Bunnymen - Nothing Lasts Forever

I want it now
I want it now
Not the promises of what tomorrow brings
I need to live in dreams today
I'm tired of the song that sorrow sings

And I want more than I can get
Just trying to, trying to, trying to forget

I'd walk to you through rings of fire
And never let you know the way I feel
Under skin is where I hide
The love that always gets me on my knees

And I want more than I can get
Just trying to, trying to, trying to forget

Nothing ever lasts forever
Nothing ever lasts forever
Nothing ever lasts forever
Nothing ever lasts forever

I want it now
I want it now
Don't tell me that my ship is coming in
Nothing comes to those who wait
Time's running out the door you're running in

So, I want more than I can get
Just trying to, trying to, trying to forget

Nothing ever lasts forever
Nothing ever lasts forever
Nothing ever lasts forever
Nothing ever lasts forever

All the shadows and the pain
Are coming to you
All the shadows and the pain
Are coming to you
All the shadows and the pain
Are coming to you
All the shadows and the pain
Are coming to you
All the shadows and the pain
Are coming to you
All the shadows and the pain
Are coming to you
All the shadows and the pain
Are coming to you

Echo & The Bunnymen - Villiers Terrace

I've been up to Villiers Terrace
To see what's a-happening
There's people rolling 'round on the carpet
Mixing up the medicine

I've been up to Villiers Terrace
I saw what's a-happening
People rolling 'round on the carpet
Biting wool and pulling string
You said people rolled on carpet
But I never thought they'd do those things

I've been up to Villiers Terrace
I've been in a daze for days
I drank some of the medici-i-i-ine
And I didn't like the taste

I've been up to Villiers Terrace
I've been in a daze for days
People rolling 'round on your carpet
Biting wool and pulling string
You said people rolled on carpet
But I never thought they'd do those things

Been up to Villiers Terrace
To see what's a-happening
People rolling 'round on the carpet
Passing 'round the medicine

Been up to Villiers Terrace
I saw what's a-happening
There's people rolling 'round on my carpet
Biting wool and pulling string
You said people rolled on carpet, boys
But I never thought they'd do those things

Bopsie waddy waddy
Shake your money
(Been down to Villiers Terrace.
Bopsie waddy waddy
Shake your money
(Been down to Villiers Terrace)...
Bopsie waddy waddy
Shake your money
(Been down to Villiers Terrace)...
Bopsie waddy waddy
Save your money
(Been down to Villiers Terrace)...

Yeah, yeah, yeah

She loves you

And with a love like that

You know you should be glad

How does it feel to be on your own?

Like a complete unknown

Like a rolling stone

Like a rolling stone

Please release me, let me go

I don't love you anymore

I don't love you anymore

They stone you when you want to go to bed

They stone you when they're chopping off your head

Why do I feel so all alone?

Everybody must get stoned

Love, love, love

Love, love, love

Love, love, love

Love, love, love

Get up

Stay on the scene

Like a sex machine

Get up, getup

Echo & The Bunnymen - I Want To Be There (When You Come)

I want to be like you
I want to fly, fly, fly
Want you to take me to
All of your sky

Why don't you kneel me down
Why don't we try, try, try
'Cause when we come around
That's when I fly

'Cause I don't want to go under
It's only just begun
I want to be there when you come
I want to be there when you come

I want to be like you
I want to laugh and cry
About the things we do
Never ask why

'Cause I don't want to go under
It's only just begun

I want to be there when you come
I want to be there when you come

I want to be like you
I want to fly, fly, fly
Want you to take me to
All of your sky

I want to paint the town
And drink it dry, dry, dry
And when the lights go down
I'll say goodbye

Through the rain and the thunder
I'm heading into the sun
I want to be there when you come
I want to be there when you come
(I want to be there)
I want to be there when you come
(I want to be there)
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la

Echo & The Bunnymen - All That Jazz

Where the hell have you been
We've been waiting with our best suits on
Hair slicked back and all that jazz
Rolling down the Union Jack
See you at the barricades babe
See you when the lights go low, Joe
Hear you when the wheels turn round
Someday when the sky turns black

It appears because it's what I feel
I know I don't understand
If you ask you know I don't mind kneeling
But when my knees hurt I like to stand
Instinct is the common lawyer
A million years won't erase
Strike the chord I'm searching for
Call it a committed race

No matter how I shake my fist
I know I can't resist it
No matter how you shake your fist
You know you can't resist it
See you at the barricades babe
See you when the lights go low, Joe
Hear you when the wheels turn round
Someday when the sky turns black

Echo & The Bunnymen - Simple Stuff

We sat all night around a table
Trying to string three words together
Time has come and
By the way, mine's a double
By the way, mine's a double

Nothing for some
We don't understand
Everything we hear
We just pick out the simple stuff
Simple stuff
We don't need all those complications
We're tough stuff
And we got no intentions

Echo & The Bunnymen - Paint It Black (Live)

I see a red door and I want to paint it black
No colors anymore, I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
Maybe I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facin' up when your whole world's turnin' black

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see a red door and I want to paint it black
I see them turn their heads and quickly look away
I think that maybe it just happens every day

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I can not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the settin' sun
My love will laugh with me until the mornin' comes

I see a red door and I want to paint it black
No colors anymore, I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I wanna see it painted, painted, painted black
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted black
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted black
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted black
Black

(originally recorded by Rolling Stones)

Echo & The Bunnymen - Over Your Shoulder

Look over your shoulder
I'm here
The face on your head looks older
We're here

Never gonna change
Never gonna disappear
Stars shine down on me tonight
Doors close tight

Day of departure
Is near
Ears on your head
Don't hear

Never gonna change
Never gonna disappear
Stars shine down on me tonight
Doors close tight

Victims fall, ghosts descend
You get scared and I'll defend
I don't really care but I'll pretend
The good and bad right to the end, end, end

Look in the cellar
We're here
I've been meaning to tell you
I'm here

Never gonna change
Never gonna disappear
Stars shine down on me tonight
Doors close tight

Victims fall, ghosts descend
You get scared and I'll pretend
I don't really care but I'll defend
The good and bad right to the end, the end, end, end
End, end, end, end, end

Look over your shoulder
I'm here
The face on your head looks older
We're here

Never gonna change
Never gonna disappear
Never gonna change
Never gonna disappear

Never gonna change
Never gonna disappear
Never gonna change
Never gonna disappear

Echo & The Bunnymen - Way Out And Up We Go

When I asked for money
You would give me alcohol
Wasn't being funny
When I said no ifs at all

I'm thinking
Thoughts too late
No linking
I won't wait

When I wanted coffee
You insist on alcohol
When I said no maybes
You would give me ifs, that's all

A message wrapped in paper
Each passage wrapped in paper
Wrapped in paper made for us...

Some meaning sent to someone
Each read it, passed it on
Passed it on to one of us...

Crumpled on the mattress
Best you cover up
Hardly in the bad day
When you don't get up

He made it
Wrapped in sackcloth
Afraid of it
Had to back off
Backed off into one of us...

Ten seconds
You can't see it
Old record
Laugh my way out

Way out and up we go
Out of the way and up we go
