Echo & The Bunnymen - Bombers Bay

The word went round in no-dream town
They shut us up and shut us down
The planes flew in and laid the ground
We built upon and spun around
God's one miracle lost in circles

On the march
Berlin to Bombers Bay
Traveling dark
On the road to Mandalay

Cannon fired, came to call
Stood us up and watched us fall
The way we were and now outworn
Our costumes changed to uniforms
Black black days here to stay

On the march
Madrid to Bombers Bay
Traveling dark
On the road to Mandalay

Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag
Smile, boys, that's the style
Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag
Smile

They give us hope and teach us well
With magic moons that cast a spell
And hypnotize and draw us in
I believe I'm believing
God's one miracle moves in circles

On the march
Berlin to Bombers Bay
Traveling dark
On the road

On the march
Berlin to Bombers Bay
Traveling dark
On the road to Mandalay

Black black days
Where the flying fishes play
Black black days
Where the flying fishes play
Black black days
Where the flying fishes play
Black black days
Where the flying fishes play

Echo & The Bunnymen - Lost And Found

I was standing in a graveyard
Under silver studded skies
In a forest burning ashes
On the bonfires of our lives

As the sky fell down
I was lost and found
Saw my world spin round
Round and round

All the ghosts have gathered round me
Come to tell me of a change
In the darkness that surrounds me
I am falling down again

On this haunted ground
I am lost and found

Lost
Lost and found
Lost
Lost and found

She will tell you her cathedral
Has no windows and no doors
And you know she doesn't need you
And that's why you want her more

As your heart melts down
You are lost not found

Lost
Lost and found
Lost
Lost and found

I was counting all the tombstones
Of the buried boys and girls
As the wind blew in like ice
And froze this cemetery world

And we all fell down
We were lost and found

Lost
Lost and found
Lost
Lost and found

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 - Over You

Jump right in
Take the call
Were you pushed
Or did you fall?
Fell apart
Feeling low
Happy ride
The merry-go

And I always hear them singing
And complaining about the world
But my chiming bells are ringing out
The word the word the word

Love rebounds
Heart goes snap
Is she ever
Coming back?
Let her down
Break her fall
Never ever
Felt so small

And I always hear them singing
And complaining about the world
And my chiming bells are ringing out
The word the word the word

Feeling good again
Always hoped I would
Never believed
That I ever could
Feeling blue again
Never wanted to
Under the weather
And it's over you

Over you (the hole in the holy)
(And the crack in our hearts)
Over you (it's love and love only)
(That sets our world apart)
Over you (worlds apart)
(Joined at the heart)

Jump right in
Take the call
Were you pushed
Or did you fall?
Fell apart
Feeling low
Happy ride
The merry-go

And I always hear them singing
And complaining about the world
And my chiming bells are ringing out
The word the word the word

Feeling good again
Always hoped I would
Never believed
That I ever could
Feeling blue again
Never wanted to
Under the weather
And it's over you

Over you (the hole in the holy)
(And the crack in our hearts)
Over you (it's love and love only)
(The sets our worlds apart)

Feeling good again
Always hoped I would
Never believed
That I ever could
Feeling blue again
Never wanted to
Under the weather
And it's over you

Over you (and a dream is a means)
(To an end of the things)
Over you (that will tempt you away)
(From the path to the true way in)

Feeling good again
Always hoped I would
Never believed
That I ever could
Feeling blue again
Never wanted to
Under the weather
And it's over you

Over you
Over you

Echo & The Bunnymen - The Game

A sense of duty
Was my one intention
And an ugly beauty
Was my own invention
Pride a proud refusal
And I refuse
to need your approval
Too many seekers
Too few beacons
But through the fog
We'll keep on beaming

Through the crying hours
Of your glitter years
All the living out
Of your tinsel tears
And the midnight trains
I never made
'Cause I'd already
Played... the game

Everybody's
Got their own good reason
Why their favorite season
Is their favorite season
Winter winners
And those summer sons
Aren't good for everyone
Aren't good for everyone
Spring has sprung
And autumn's well done
So well done

And it's a better thing
That we do now
Forgetting everything
The whys and hows
While you reminisce
About the things you miss
You won't be ready
To kiss... goodbye

The earth is a world
The world is a ball
A ball in a game
With no rules at all
And just as I wonder
At the beauty of it all
You go and drop it
And it breaks and falls

I'll never understand
Why you thought I would
Need to be reassured
And be understood
When I always knew
That your bad's my good
And I was ready
Ready... to be loved

Born under Mars
With Jupiter rising
Fallen from stars
That lit my horizon

I'll never understand
Why you thought I would
Need to be reassured
And be understood
When I always knew
That your bad's my good
And I was ready
Ready... to be

Through the crying hours
Of your glitter years
All the living out
Of your tinsel tears
And the midnight trains
I never made
'Cause I'd already
Played

It's a better thing
That we do now
Forgetting everything
The whys and hows
While you reminisce
About the things you miss
You won't be ready
To kiss... goodbye

Echo & The Bunnymen - Lips Like Sugar

She floats like a swan
Grace on the water
Lips like sugar
Lips like sugar
Just when you think you've caught her
She glides across the water
She calls for you tonight
To share this moonlight

You'll flow down her river
She'll ask you and you'll give her
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses

She knows what she knows
I know what she's thinking
Sugar kisses
Sugar kisses
Just when you think she's yours
She's flown to other shores
To laugh at how you break
And melt into this lake

You'll flow down her river
But you'll never give her
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses

She'll be my mirror
Reflect what I am
A loser and a winner
The king of siam
And my siamese twin
Alone on the river
Mirror kisses
Mirror kisses

Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
