A dumb mistake too much to pay A shattered heart in love's debris Gone & blow it all & then you say "This can't be happening to me" A dumb mistake too much to pay A shattered heart in love's debris Don't know what you've got 'til it's gone The thrill of the chase then it's gone Only the hurt to prove that it ever went on And life is a wonderful thing When you're humming the words to a love song Do what you wanna do be who you want to be When I'm in your arms I'm strong There's nowhere I'd rather be We shine for liberty, life & the pursuit of pleasure Gone & blown it all, how can you say "It doesn't matter much to me?" A dumb mistake too much to pay A shattered heart in love's debris Gone & blown it all & then you say "This isn't happening to me" A dumb mistake too much to pay A shattered heart in love's debris And how the days have flown too few & fast They said it wasn't meant to last A dumb mistake too much to pay A shattered heart in love's debris SONG: Rock Me Gently - Erasure 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 wont 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 you arms I've been getting used to all the crying And the games that you play And if I carry on I'm gonna end up with a Hole in my head And there's more to life Than thrills & spills & dollar bills We'll have to get through Some way & some how I dream I'm with you You hold me sweetly And rock me gently to sleep In you arms I dream you're with me You hold me sweetly And rock me gently to sleep In you arms SONG: Grace - Erasure Looking in the papers makes me sorry to be human A little ray of hope won't hurt at all A price on every head & it's cheaper when you're dead Quality of life may have to fall Muffled voices, world in action Stir the peaceful, need for longing I cannot describe the fear inside my heart I hereby do swear to live my life in accordance with grace Guess it's human nature to be cruel & to be heartless But that's no excuse to shoot him when he's down Crawl in on your knees & then bite the hand that feeds The cages throw their shadows 'cross the ground Where's the sense in senseless violence Hear the silence too forgiving I cannot describe the fear inside my heart I hereby do swear to live my life in accordance with grace Press your hands in, into the pavement Bathed in glory, here's your moment I cannot describe the fear inside my heart I hereby do swear to live my life in accordance with grace SONG: Stay With Me - Erasure Tempered by greed, tall buildings breathe Give a sigh of relief when it's night Stirring from sleep, we night owls creep Is there any sign of life under this stone Star chime hollow & true Love, child Weep for me & I will cast your wheels in motion Walk with me the inner reaches of emotion Sheltered by creed, one piled on one Do you have a little room for one small one Light shine wild & free Sun, rise Weep for me & I will set your wheels in motion Keep with me & like a roller on the ocean Stand by me & I will fill you with devotion Walk with me the inner reaches of emotion Weep for me & sands of time will fill the ocean Keep with me 'til rays of sunshine fill the ocean Walk with me the inner reaches of emotion Stand with me & I will fill you with devotion Weep for me the sands of time will fill the ocean Keep with me & like a roller on the ocean Stand by me & I will fill you with devotion Walk with me the inner reaches of emotion The sands of time will fill the ocean Keep with me & rays of sunshine fill the ocean Walk with me the inner reaches of emotion SONG: Love The Way You Do So - Erasure On & on & on, here's the break of dawn Coming through the window - heart Pull yourself a chair up - love On & on & on, quiver like a reed Let yourself a go go - old one Honour me a solo - young man Careful not to give yourself away There is still tomorrow & a heart felt meaning When you get that feeling you will recall A night of love in motion We shall lie, warm inside Quite at ease, watch me glide We shall lie, side by side Here & now, talk in turn Love the way you do so Time is rolling on, blending with the mind Love the way you tease me - heart Tear another layer off - love Listen to the stillness of the day Drawing ever closer like your heart is beating And when I hear it beating I will recall A night of love in motion We shall lie, warm inside Quite at ease, watch me glide Love the way you do so We shall lie, side by side Here & now, talk in turn Love the way you do so SONG: Angel - Erasure See how much you mean to me, you're my electric symphony in blue Just one look in your eyes, maybe I was hypnotised by you You told me on the telephone of a picture so serene And the beat goes on, feels like a fever burning & I say Yes to your love & there's no secrets High & ascending, delving deeper Fly like an angel wings unfurling Fanning the flames of love eternal All around the world the love will manifest itself in special ways Up there on the shelf in spiritual or sexual relays I want you yeh I crave you, I need you next to me Locking the lip-sync on a rocket to red hot love perfection Here we go round & there's no secrets High & ascending delving deeper Under the water clear as crystal Spinning around in giant circles Fly like an angel wings unfurling Fanning the flames of love eternal You say, "Reach me, I'll be your deity, come & touch me make it real" Turning the charm full on sending me into excitation Here we go round no room for secrets High & ascending delving deeper Love is resounding clear as crystal Spinning around in giant circles Our message is love & there's no secrets Ever evolving heavenly creatures Fly like an angel wings unfurling Fanning... SONG: I Love You - Erasure You made your bed, now lie in it, you masochist of mayhem This mortal coil is up for grabs in danger forever I would swear that there must be A thousand personalities inside you head I would swear that there must be A thousand possibilities to mend you heart Now take these words & tie them up & give them back, give them back For I I see you, I hear you, I feel you, I love you. You call collect & I reject your foul abuse & your language Where's your sense of etiquette? Can't you assess the damage? I would swear that there must be A thousand personalities inside your head I would swear that there must be A thousand possibilities to mend our hearts Now take these tears & cry them in Your pillow dear & I'll be near For I I see you, I hear you, I feel you, I love you. SONG: A Long Goodbye - Erasure In these days of mine for keeps I'm trying to hold on When suddenly you're all out of reach & everything goes wrong What we say & what we do are entirely different things Meaningless straight through the roof it's not how it should be Easy like a bird I ride the breeze my mind is falling You're so ordinary, you're my sanctuary in the morning darling New sensation, love vibration, heart to heart & a long goodbye You go your way, I'll go my way, life is truer than fiction in this crazy Land of milk & honey life is just an illusion I just don't know what to believe in, if the truth be known Suffering from soul fatigue, weathering the storm What we say & what we do are entirely different things The whisperings dissolve the room well it's not how it should be Swaying like a tree I feel the sky somebody calling You're so ordinary, be my sanctuary in the morning darling New sensation, love vibrations, heart to heart & a dumb goodbye Then you go your way, I'll go my way, life is truer than fiction in this Crazy mixed up world of honey life is just an illusion darling Easy like a bird I ride the breeze my mind is falling You're so ordinary, be my sanctuary in the morning darling New sensation, love vibrations, heart to heart & a long goodbye You go your way, I'll go my way, life is truer than fiction in this Crazy mixed up world of honey life is just an illusion You're so ordinary, sanctuary, be my one in the morning darling The new sensation, love vibrations, heart to heart & a dumb goodbye Then you go your way, I'll go my way, life is truer than fiction in this Crazy mixed up world of honey life is just an illusion You're so ordinary, sanctuary, be my light in the morning darling The new sensation, love vibrations, heart to heart & a long goodbye Then you go your way, I'll go my way, life is truer than fiction in this Crazy mixed up world of honey life is just an illusion darling
