Echo and The Bunnymen

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

Who's on the seventh floor

Brewing alternatives

What's in the bottom drawer

Waiting for things to give





Spare us the cutter

Spare us the cutter

Couldn't cut the mustard





Conquering myself

Until i see another hurdle approaching

Say we can, say we will

Not just another drop in the ocean





Come to the free for all

With seven tapered knives

Some of them six feet tall

We will escape our lives





Spare us the cutter

Spare us the cutter

Couldn't cut the mustard





Conquering myself

Until i see another hurdle approaching

Say we can, say we will

Not just another drop in the ocean





Am i the happy loss

Will i still recoil

When the skin is lost

Am i the worthy cross

Will i still be soiled

When the dirt is off





Conquering myself

Until i see another hurdle approaching

Say we can, say we will

Not just another drop in the ocean

Ocean





Watch the fingers close

When the hands are cold





Am i the happy loss

Will i still recoil

When the skin is lost

Am i the worthy cross

Will i still be soiled

When the dirt is off





Am i the happy loss

Will i still be soiled

When the dirt is off

People are strange, when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
People seem wicked, when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven, when you're down

When you're strange- faces come out of the rain (rain, rain)
When you're strange- no one remembers your name
When you're strange, when you're strange, when you're strange

Under blue moon i saw you

So soon you'll take me

Up in your arms

Too late to beg you or cancel it

Though i know it must be the killing time

Unwillingly mine





Fate

Up against your will

Through the thick and thin

He will wait until

You give yourself to him





In starlit nights i saw you

So cruelly you kissed me

Your lips a magic world

Your sky all hung with jewels

The killing moon

Will come too soon





Fate

Up against your will

Through the thick and thin

He will wait until

You give yourself to him





Under blue moon i saw you

So soon you'll take me

Up in your arms

Too late to beg you or cancel it

Though i know it must be the killing time

Unwillingly mine





Fate

Up against your will

Through the thick and thin

He will wait until

You give yourself to him





Fate

Up against your will

Through the thick and thin

He will wait until

You give yourself to him

You give yourself to him





La la la la la...





Fate

Up against your will

Through the thick and thin

He will wait until

You give yourself to him





La la la la la...





Fate

Up against your will

Through the thick and thin

He will wait until

You give yourself to him





Fate

Up against your will

Through the thick and thin

He will wait until

You give yourself to him
