Erasure - Am I Right?/love To Hate You/e + Songtexte

Am I Right?
Wanderin' through the back roads
And the rain comes rushin' down
To resolve your love
For this man in his twenties
Am I right?
Am I wrong?
Or am I just dreaming?
Climbing up the back stairs
There's a chill wind in the air
I wrap up from the cold
Pull the blind in the window
Who was here?
Was it you?
Or am I just dreaming?
Look at all the lonely people
Walking miles around the town
I can see the old cathedral
But I have to play it down
Boats along the river
Setting up their sails
And life carries on as normal
Although you're not around
Waiting at the bus stop
Laughing off the rain
Shaking their umbrellas
'Til it starts again
Flowers in the water
Floating off downstream
Paper in the gutter
Blowing in the breeze
Am I right?
Am I wrong?
Or am I just dreaming?
Look at all the lonely people
Walking miles around the town
I can see the old cathedral
But I have to play it down
Boats along the river
Setting up their sails
And life carries on as normal
Although you're not around
Waiting at the bus stop
Laughing off the rain
Shaking their umbrellas
'Til it starts again
Flowers in the water
Floating off downstream
Paper in the gutter
Blowing in the breeze
Wanderin' through the back roads
And the rain comes rushin' down
To resolve your love
For this man in his twenties
Am I right?
Am I wrong?
Or am I just dreaming?
Love To Hate You
I'm crazy flowing over with ideas
A thousand ways to woo a lover so sincere?
Love and hate, what a beautiful combination
Sending shivers up and down my spine
For every Casanova that appears
My sense of hesitation disappears
Love and hate, what a beautiful combination
Sending shivers up and down my spine
And the lovers that you sent for me
Didn't come with any satisfaction guarantee
So I return them to the sender
And the note attached will read
How I love to hate you
I love to hate you
I love to hate you
I love to hate you
Oh you really still expect me to believe
Every single letter I receive
Sorry you, what a shameful situation
Sending shivers up and down my spine
Ooh I like to read a murder mystery
I like to know the killer isn't me
Love and hate, what a beautiful combination
Sending shivers, make me quiver
Feel it sliver up and down my spine
And the lovers that you sent for me
Didn't come with any satisfaction guarantee
So I return them to the sender
And the note attached will read
How I love to hate you
I love to hate you
I love to hate you
I love to hate you
And the lovers that you sent for me
Didn't come with any satisfaction guarantee
So I return them to the sender
And the note attached will read
How I love to hate you
I love to hate you
And the lovers that you sent for me
Didn't come with any satisfaction guarantee
So I return them to the sender
And the note attached will read
How I love to hate you
I love to hate you
I love to hate you
I love to hate you
I love to hate you
I love to hate you
Turns The Love To Anger
Lest we forget
The speed at which the world is turning
Careering through space and time
On her fatalistic journey
Ooh it scares me half to death
That we tear ourselves apart
A war of love or religion
Close your eyes to the screaming
Now are we pleased?
How are we free?
See how this obsession (obsession)
Turns the love to anger
East calling west
Falling onto stony ground
We are lost in our vision
We are primitive and fearless
We send our message of confusion
Across the great divide
With our eyes full of wonder
Still the world goes spinnin' by (spinnin' by)
Now are we pleased?
How are we free?
See how this obsession (obsession)
Turns the love to anger
Love is where the dream should lie
It's not for us to reason why
Or to ponder over strategy
So come with us and take a ride
Somewhere in the big blue sky
Before it's too late
It's too late
Hope you find it baby
What you're lookin' for
Doesn't really matter
If you're rich or poor
'Cause you've had your day
Yes you had your day
Now are we pleased?
How are we free?
See how this obsession (obsession)
Turns the love to anger
Now are we pleased?
How are we free?
See how this obsession (obsession)
Turns the love to anger

Siren Song
Ever faithful I endure
To listen for the sound of the siren song
Ragged whispers of imprisioned sisters
Cutting through real life, drawing me nearer
The color of the pure in soul
Like water shall fill the cloudless sky
Try to feel the splendor of it all
Embrace the honesty of nightfall
Try to feel the anguish of it all
And wrap yourself up in every facet of emotion
Oh oh oh
Hearts that cry diamond tears
Spirits that walk for a thousand years
Hear them calling on that darkest morning
Pulling me under, my thoughts disappear
The color of the pure in soul
Like water shall fill the cloudless sky
Try to feel the splendor of it all
Embrace the honesty of nightfall
Try to feel the anguish of it all
And wrap yourself up in every facet of emotion
Oh oh oh
The color (the color) of the pure in soul
Like water (like water) shall fill the cloudless sky
Try to feel the splendor of it all
Embrace the honesty of nightfall
Try to feel the anguish of it all
And wrap yourself up in every facet of emotion
Oh oh oh
Try to feel the splendor of it all
Embrace the honesty of nightfall
Can you feel love?
Can you feel joy?
Can you feel pain?

Perfect Stranger
Hell I gave up my time
For a no-good affair
You'd think I'd learned by now
To be taken in
By a perfect stranger
That I had the know how
Still, more fool me
For kidding myself
That's the way it should be
Maybe I should grow up
Would I feel confined to the same space?
Or would I feel
That I talked myself into a corner?
So long, you're no friend of mine
You're false and unkind
You're indestructible
No place I'd rather be
Than in the ring with you
We'd go twenty rounds
Still, more fool me
For killing myself
That's the way it should be
Maybe I should grow up
Would I feel confined to the same space?
Or would I feel
That I talked myself into a corner?
I see the sky move above me
But I just can't take control
What a sweet sensation
Woah oh
Aha, love
Sweet sweet love
Hell I gave up my time
For a no-good affair
You'd think I'd learned by now
To be taken in
By a perfect stranger
That I had the know how
Still, more fool me
For kidding myself
That's the way it should be
Maybe I should grow up
Would I feel confined to the same space?
Or would I feel (say goodbye stranger)
That I talked myself into a corner?

Home
I ain't never goin' home
'Cause I'm having a good time
I ain't never goin' home
'Cause my time is come
I'll wait for the winter
To lie at my door
White stretches out before me
Leads me to the hall
White circles play within my mind
Ices over and freezes life
Time will come, time will come, time will fall
Bringing the world to its feet
Bringing the world to its feet
I ain't never turnin' back
'Cause I've come this far
And I'm lost within my tracks
I will follow the North Star
I'll wait 'til the springtime
Is breathing at my door
The wilderness before me
Heeds the lion's roar
White circles play within my mind
Ices over and freezes life
Time will come, time will come, time will fall
Bringing the world to its feet
Bringing the world her hands and her knees
I'll wait 'til the winter
Is lying at my door
Time stretches out before me
A stone's throw from the door
White circles play within my mind
Ices over and freezes life
Time will come, time will come, time will fall
Bringing the world to its feet
Bringing the world her hands and her feet
Bringing the world to its feet
