Critical Quote : "Now this is more like it. If there is one band that defines world pop music then it's got to be Erasure. From the disco ballards of 'Rain' and 'Worlds on Fire' to the camp joy that is 'Save Me Darling', Erasure prove the secret of making loads of great albums, is to write loads of great songs."- The Sunday Mirror

Rain

What is there to do? Only rain,
Falling down from the sky
Only me and you, fair and plain
Nothing lost and nothing gained

Only the love nothing more nothing less comes between us
Temperature's rising, my passion is burning inside

My world in light saving all as one
A love that no one can deny
My one true light , same for everyone
A love we dare you to defy

Only rain

I won't settle for less, but no regret
see myself in your own reflection (see myself in your reflection)
Something in your eyes that tells me why
I'm a fool for your warm affection (I'm a fool for your affection)

Only the love, nothing more, nothing less comes between us
Temperature's rising, my passion is burning inside

My world in light saving all as one
A love that no one can deny
My one true light , same for everyone
A love we dare you to defy

Only rain

You are my, my one true, my world in light
You are my, my one true, my world in light

My world in light saving all as one
A love that no one can deny
My one true light , same for everyone
A love we dare you to defy

 

Worlds On Fire

I cross the sea, the sea of love
And when it's dark I rise above
Move slowly through the quiet air
I hear your voice, it takes me there

Call my name aloud and I'll be there for you
There is no end to all the things that I would do

Stop your crying and dry up your endless tears
Don't you know you've got the key, love sets you free
Worlds on fire, full of pain and endless fear
Don't you know , open your eyes, love sets you free

I hold you tight, my mind is clear
True love in sight, hurt disappears
We are space, a lonely race
A speck of dust upon the face

You are magnificent, and I am here for you
There is no end to all the things that I would do

Stop your crying and dry up your endless tears
Don't you know, you've got the key, love sets you free
Worlds on fire, full of pain and endless fear
Don't you know, open your eyes, love sets you free

Stop your crying and dry up your endless tears
Don't you know, you've got the key, love sets you free
Worlds on fire, full of pain and endless fear
Don't you know, open your eyes, love sets you free

 

 


Reach Out


Don't walk away
I need you more than words can say
I feel for you, this everlasting flame
My everlasting flame

I will wash away your tears
Through the pain and through the sorrow
Better days are still to come
If you would only turn around and

Reach out and touch me
Reach out and hold me
Reach out and touch me

You feel the rain
I feel the tear drops run down my face
You hide your fear in everlasting shame
My everlasting flame

We have wasted so much time
So you're saying now it's over
Better days are still to come
Don't turn your back on me now, darling

Reach out and touch me
Reach out and hold me
Reach out and touch me

I will wash away your tears
Through the pain and through the sorrow
Better days are still to come
If you would only turn around and

Reach out and touch me
Reach out and hold me
Reach out and touch me

Don't walk away from me now darling
I need you now much more than ever
Don't you walk away from me my darling

Don't walk away from me now darling
I need you now much more than ever
Don't you walk away from me my darling

 

 

 

In My Arms

The deal is on the rise again.
The ship comes into shore.
They've been away to somewhere,
but life goes on no less.

Through the foreign oceans,
underneath the seas.

And walls come tumbling down;
we'll be forever calm.
And you'll be here in my arms,
I'll keep you away from harm.

I thought about you twice just then;
you get me every time.
Keeps coming out of nowhere;
it cannot be defined.

Your colours are magnificent:
from magenta to bright blue.

And walls come tumbling down
we'll be forever calm.
And you'll be here in my arms,
I'll keep you away from harm.

And walls come tumbling down
we'll be forever calm.
And you'll be here in my arms,
I'll keep you away from harm.

 

 


Don't Say Your Love Is Killing Me

My eyes are closed
And I've nothing more to say
But I was so willing to give it all away
And what a show
I've loved you all I could
When will I see you, is nothing understood?

You thought I was stupid, but now I stop at nothing
(I stop at nothing)
I thought you were better, but love's gonna take a man
Yeah love's gonna take a man

Don't say your love is killing me
You know how much it means to me
I too have feelings deep inside
But would not hurt your foolish pride

Heaven only knows
At your every turn a scandal
But how does it suit you
When it's all too much to cope with?

You thought I was nothing before you stepped into my life
(Stepped into my life)
I thought you were clever, but love's gonna take a man
And you haven't got it in you

Don't say your love is killing me
You know how much it means to me
I too have feelings deep inside
But would not hurt your foolish pride

Don't say your love is killing me
You know how much it means to me
I too have feelings deep inside
But would not hurt your foolish pride

Don't say your love is killing me
You know how much it means to me
I too have feelings deep inside
But would not hurt your foolish pride


Precious

The ebb and flow of the tide

Will carry me forth into your arms
And though I'll miss you tonight
The thought of your love keeps me warm

As the moon comes out over the water

Precious and too sweet
I shall pray love your soul to keep
The river sleeping sound
I shall be dreaming deep of you

Soul will keep thee, rife and weepy, calling out to you

The dip and roar of the crowd
Will dizzy me forth into your arms
And if we pass it all around
We'll be of the same point of view

As the world spins round, here everafter

Precious and too sweet
I shall pray love your soul to keep
The river sleeping sound
I shall be dreaming deep of you
On a bed of silver sand
I'll take you lightly by the hand
And we'll dance on by the moon
I shall be dreaming deep of you

Shattered, dreamy, calm and sweetly, fool enough for two

When the stars play hide and seek
I shall be dreaming deep of you (I shall be dreaming)
Precious and too sweet
I shall pray love your soul to keep (I shall be praying)
On a bed of silver sand
I'll take you lightly by the hand (I shall be dreaming)
And we'll dance on by the moon
I shall be dreaming deep of you (I shall be praying)

 

 

Treasure

I'm coming in, got the wood stove on
At the end of a treasured day
Take off my hat and shoes
And I lay me down
Lives been lost and fortunes won
A test of the will to survive
See where the shadow falls
And you stake your claim

I dream of trees and roads
I roam across the hills
The sky is big, the deepest blue,
The clouds like smoky trains

News coming in goes nation wide
Not a grain of truth to be heard
Lie to an ancient tribe, in their mother tongue
Wreaking havoc and wrecking lives
Like a ball and chain to the skull
Rise see the eagle fly
Spirit can't be broken

I dream of trees and roads
I roam across the hills
The sky is big, the deepest blue,
The clouds like smoky trains

Bridge

I dream of trees and roads
I roam across the hills
The sky is big, the deepest blue,
The clouds like smoky trains

 

Boy

Love you boy, till I fall
The child in me again, he plays the fool
Cry for joy, amen
For after all, it's only life
And the way you stir your coffee, like an angel in the morning

Still you dare to change your mind
You'll be sorry when it's over
When you've had your taste of freedom
Don't come crying on my shoulder

Save your tears, don't mean much
Is the guilty party me? I don't think so

And it, it's no bed of roses lying here
Tossing and turning

Still you dare to change your mind
You'll be sorry when it's over
When you've had your taste of freedom
Don't come crying on my shoulder

And these, these years of love and giving surely
Must be something to you

 

 

How Can I Say

Downtown I'm homeward bound
The city lights are looking bright tonight
No love lost between us
When I see you things are looking up

And though it's cold, inside I'm warm
Devoid of worries, no love is forlorn

How can I say what must remain unspoken
Don't want to spoil all that we said before
So many cry baby hearts to be broken
Don't want to join in with their crazy wars

You tease, I try to please
Though I know I'm not looking my best tonight
Hard pressed, you've had the rest
Of all the choices, time to make your mind up

And though you smile, you're sad inside
But do not worry 'cause I'll make it right

How can I say what must remain unspoken
Don't want to spoil all that we said before
So many cry baby hearts to be broken
Don't want to join in with their crazy wars

 

 

 

Save Me Darling

Why should it matter how I feel
This old romantic down at hill
Then again, if I'd known the outcome, sure you'd win.

Illusion shattered, made them real
A night of magic, fate is sealed
Ran amok, and you knocked my tiny world for six

It wouldn't have made the slightest , blindest bit of difference

All together now, lets hear us pray
Make it better now and savour the day
I'm all over, save me darling!

I feel it deep down deep inside
Can not believe we're still alive
That is good, cause I did not mean you harm, my love

We took a shot at masquerade
Came crashing down on love's parade
We were young, were so full of teen emotion then

We couldn't have made the slightest, blindest bit of difference

All together now, lets hear us pray
Make it better now and savour the day
I'm all over, save me darling!

All together now, lets hear us pray
Make it better now and savour the day
I'm all over, save me darling!

We couldn't have made the slightest, blindest bit of difference

All together

All together now, lets hear us pray
Make it better now and savour the day
I'm all over, save me darling!

 

 

Love Affair

It's not just a love affair, it's all or nothing
do I bet it all on love? Or change and freak out?
When the chances come my way
Will they up and disappear?
Will it ever go my way?
Or am I out of here?

There'll be tears before your bedtime
You mark my words
You wanted more than I could give you
You wanted more than you could have

It's not just a love affair
It's now or never
Could I give it all to you?
Is that what we're about?
If I hold you, will you stay?
Or will you up and disappear?
Be forever and a day
Like your letter said

There'll be tears before your bedtime
You mark my words
You wanted more than I could give you
You wanted more than you could have

When the chances come my way
Will they up and disappear
Will it ever go my way
Or am I out of here?

There'll be tears before your bedtime
You mark my words
You wanted more than I could give you
You wanted more than you could have

Love's growing stronger every day

Love's growing stronger every way
