Echo & The Bunnymen • Turquoise Days

Just when the thought occurs

The panic will pass

And the smell of the fields

Never lasts

Put your faith

In those crimson nights

Set sail

In those turquoise days

You've got a problem

Come on over

You've got a problem

Come on over

It's not for glory

It's not for honour

Just something someone said

It's not for love

It's not for war

Just hands clasped together

It's not for living

It's for hunger

Just lips locked tight

It's not rebellion

It's not suffering

It's just the way it is

And my pistol's packed

And my God goes with me

I feel easy

And I want it

And I need it

And I've got it

It's not for this

It's not for that

It's not any of it

Did you say knowledge?

Did you say prayer?

Did you say anything?

If not for good

If not for better

If not the way it is

Just when the thought occurs

The panic will pass

And the smell of the fields

Never lasts

We'll put your faith

In those crimson nights

Set sail

In those turquoise days

Place our faith

In those crimson nights

Set sail

In those turquoise days

You've got a problem

Come on over

You've got a problem

Come on over

Now I think I know

Just what to say

Now I think I know

Just what to say

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 - All I Want

I'd be bad to feel so bad
Waking up laughing so rare
Up and down and down the stairs
Set myself up in the chair

And said all I love is all I love
All I want is all I want

If we make the same mistake
Who could we blame
When we make the same mistake
Who will we blame
Who will we blame
What will we blame?

We blame all I love
All I love
All we want
All we want

I had a healthy discussion
I had a sleep in the chair
I laid my head on a cushion
Because it was there
I had a flame in the dark
It was...
Up and down and down the stairs
Set myself up in the chair

And said all I love is
All I love
All I want
Is all I want
(You've got the hands)
All I love
(To hold the key)
Is all I love
All I want
(You've got the hands)
Is all I want
(To hold the key)

If we make the same mistakes
Who could we blame
When we make the same mistake
Who could we blame
Who will we blame
What could we blame?
When we make
The same mistake
Who will we blame?...

Echo & The Bunnymen - The Disease

My life's the disease
That could always change
With comparative ease
Just given the chance

My life is the earth
'Twixt muscle and spade
We wait for the worth
Digging for just one chance

As prospects diminish
As nightmares swell
Some pray for Heaven while
We live in hell

My life's the disease
My life's the disease

If you get yours
From Heaven
Don't waste them

Echo & The Bunnymen - All My colours

Flying
And I know I'm not coming down
You're trying
But you know you must soon go down
All my colors turn to clouds
All my colors turn to clouds

Zimbo

What d'you say
When your heart's in pieces?
How d'you play
Those cards in sequence?
That box you gave me burned nicely
That box you gave me burned nicely

Zimbo

Flying down
Flying down
All my colors turn to clouds

Hey, I've flown away
Hey, I'm blown away

Echo & The Bunnymen - Show Of Strength

Realistically
It's hard to dig it all too happily
But I can see
It's not always that real to me
A funny thing
Is always a funny thing
Though sadly things
Just get in the way

Open to suggestion
Falling over questions

Hopefully
But that's as well as maybe
A shaking hand
Won't transmit all fidelity
Your golden smile
Would shame a politician
Typically
I'll apologise next time

Bonds will break and fade
Go snapping all in two
The lies that bind the tie
Come sailing out of you

Realistically,
Hard to dig it all too happily
But I can see,
Not always that real to me
A funny thing
Is always a funny thing
And those sadly things
Is always a sadly thing

Bonds will break and fade
A snapping all in two
The lies that bind the tie
Come sailing out of you

A show of strength
Is all you want
You can never set it down...

Guts and passion
Those things you can't
Even set down
All those things you think might count
You can't ever set them down
Don't ever set them down
Never set them down
Hey, I came in right on cue
One is me and one is you...
Hey, I came in right on cue
One is me and one is you...

Echo & The Bunnymen - A Promise

You said "Something will change"
We were all dressed up
Somewhere to go, no sign of rain
But something will change, you promised

You said "Nothing will change"
We were almost near, almost far
Down came the rain
But nothing will change, you promised

A promise

It's exactly the same
You said "It's always the same
But I'll make it change
Into something the same, I promise"

A promise

Light on the waves
Light on the waves

A promise
A promise

(Light on the water) A promise
(We could sail on forever) A promise
(There's light on the water) A promise
(We could sail on forever) A promise
