Erasure - Pop! The First 20 Hits Album Lyrics

Found out I was standing in your firing line
You made your mark, your arrow went through me
Cut a real impression on this heart of mine
I'm loving - what is happening to me?

Angel made in heaven
All I want is your love
Gimme some of that action, reaction
Angel made in heaven
All I want is your love
Gimme some of that action

Be my lover
I don't want another
My angel from heaven
Be my lover
I don't want another
My angel from heaven

Angel made in heaven
All I want is your love
Gimme some of that action

Arrow in my heart, yeah we were meant to be
I knew it was my name you were calling
Celebration, now you're standing next to me
Show me love emotion, I'm falling

Angel made in heaven
All I want is your love
Gimme some of that action, reaction
Angel made in heaven
All I want is your love
Gimme some of that action

Be my lover
I don't want another
My angel from heaven
Be my lover
I don't want another
My angel from heaven

Angel, angel

Angel made in heaven
All I want is your love
Gimme some of that action, reaction
Angel made in heaven
All I want is your love
Gimme some of that action

Looking for you,you were looking for me
Always reaching for you, you were too blind to see
Oh love of my heart why leave me alone?
I'm falling apart, no good on my own

Oh l'amour
Broke my heart and now I'm aching for you
Mon amour
What's a boy in love supposed to do?

Why throw it away? Why walk out on me?
I just live for the day, for the way it should be
There once was a time I had you here by my side
You said I wasn't your kind, only here for the ride

Oh l'amour
Broke my heart and now I'm aching for you
Mon amour
What's a boy in love supposed to do?

No emotional ties, you don't remember my name
I lay down and die, I'm only to blame
Oh love of my heart, it's up to you now
You tore me apart, I hurt inside-out

Oh l'amour
Broke my heart and now I'm aching for you
Mon amour
What's a boy in love supposed to do?

You are on one side and I am on the other
Are we divided?
Why can't we live together?

There are no rights
This isn't your decision
We need to talk of changing things
But no one wants to listen

It doesn't have to be like that
It doesn't have to be like that
It doesn't have to be like that

A heart on the inside the same as any other
Are we divided?
Someone always has to suffer

We are broken
There's no one left to change it
Is that the way it has to be?
Why can't we rearrange it?

It doesn't have to be like that (one against one)
It doesn't have to be like that (one against one)
It doesn't have to be like that

Alava mo ja na me me limbaniango limbaniago
Zimbabwe abo naga na me me limbaniango limbaniago
Alava mo ja na me me limbaniango limbaniago
Zimbabwe abo naga na me me limbaniango limbaniago

What is the secret in calling me a brother?
Are we divided?
Always one against the other

We are strong now
Put down the ammunition
For what we know is right
Is gonna break down this division

It doesn't have to be like that (one against one)
It doesn't have to be like that (one against one)
It doesn't have to be like that (one against one, one against one)
It doesn't have to be like that (one against one, one against one)
It doesn't have to be like that

You are on one side and I am on the other
Are we divided?

Don't upset the teacher
Though we know he lied to you
Don't upset the preacher
He's gonna close his eyes for you

And it's a shame
That you're so afraid
Just a worker waiting in the pouring rain
Putting back the pieces of a broken dream
Putting back the pieces of a broken dream

Father worked in industry, now the work has moved on and the factory's gone
See them sell your history where once you were strong and you used to belong

There was once a future
For a working man
There was once a lifetime
For a skillful hand
Yesterday

And it's a shame
That you're so afraid
Just a worker waiting in the pouring rain
Putting back the pieces of a broken dream
Putting back the pieces of a broken dream

Don't upset the teacher
Though we know he lied to you
Don't upset the preacher
He's gonna close his eyes for you

And it's a shame
That you're so afraid
Just a worker waiting in the pouring rain
Putting back the pieces of a broken dream
Putting back the pieces of a broken dream

Tempers fray so easily in desperate despair, is there anyone who cares?
Just another tragedy, just a personal affair in a room somewhere

There was once a future
For a working man
There was once a lifetime
For a skillful hand
Yesterday

And it's a shame
That you're so afraid
Just a worker waiting in the pouring rain
Putting back the pieces of a broken dream
Putting back the pieces of a broken dream (broken dream)
Putting back the pieces of a broken dream

Of a broken, of a broken dream

Putting back the pieces of a broken dream (broken dream)
Putting back the pieces of a broken dream

Do you remember there was a time when people on the street were walking hand in hand in hand?
They used to talk about the weather, making plans together, days would last forever

Come to me, cover me, hold me
Together we'll break these chains of love
Don't give up, don't give up
Together with me and my baby, break the chains of love

Do you remember once upon a time when there were open doors?
An invitation to the world
We were falling in and out with lovers, kooking out for others, our sisters and our brothers

Come to me, cover me, hold me
Together we'll break these chains of love
Don't give up, don't give up
Together with me and my baby, break the chains of love
Together we'll break these chains of love

How can I explain when there a few words I can choose?
How can I explain when words get broken?

We used to talk about the weather, making plans together, days would last forever

Come to me, cover me, hold me
Together we'll break these chains of love
Don't give up, don't give up
Together with me and my baby, break the chains of love
Together we'll break these chains of love

Don't give up, don't give up
Together with me and my baby, break the chains of love
Together we'll break these chains of love

I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
That you gimme no reason why you make me work so hard

That you gimme no
That you gimme no
That you gimme no
That you gimme no

Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please
Give a little respect to me

And if I should falter would you open your arms to me?
We can make love not war and live at peace with our hearts

I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
What religion or reason could drive a man to forsake his lover?

Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no

Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please
Give a little respect to me

I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
That you gimme no reason, you know you make me work so hard

That you gimme no
That you gimme no
That you gimme no
That you gimme no

Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please (give a little respect)
Give a little respect to me

Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please (give a little respect)
Give a little respect to me

We'll be together
And nobody ain't never gonna disconnect us
Or ever separate us
Or say to us you've got to

Stop!
Stand there where you are
Before you go too far
Before you make a fool out of love
Stop!
Don't jump before you look
Get hung upon a hook
Before you make a fool out of love

We'll be together again
I've been waiting for a long time
We're gonna be, we're gonna be together again
I'll be connected to the right line

We'll be together
And nobody ain't never gonna disconnect us
Or ever separate us
Or say to us you've got to

Stop!
Stand there where you are
Before you go too far
Before you make a fool out of love
Stop!
Don't jump before you look
Get hung upon a hook
Before you make a fool out of love

We'll be together
And nobody ain't never gonna disconnect us
Or ever separate us
Or say to us you've got to

Stop!
Stand there where you are
Before you go too far
Before you make a fool out of love
Stop!
Don't jump before you look
Get hung upon a hook
Before you make a fool out of love
Stop!

Somewhere 'cross the desert
Some time in the early hours
In a restless world
On the open highway

My home is where the heart is
Sweet to surrender to you only
I send my love to you

Blue savannah song
Oh, blue savannah song

Racing 'cross the desert
At a hundred miles an hour
To the orange side
Through the clouds and thunder

My home is where the heart is
Sweet to surrender to you only
I send my love to you

Well I'm on my way back and your love will bring me home (say that your love will bring me home)
I'm travelling fast and your love will bring me home (say your love will bring me home)
Will I discover that your love will bring me home? (dream away darlin')
Will I discover that your love will bring me home? (yeah)

Somewhere 'cross the desert
Some time in the early hours
To the orange side
Through the clouds and thunder

My home is where the heart is
Sweet to surrender to you only
I send my love to you

Home is where the heart is
Sweet to surrender to you only (sweet to surrender)
I send my love to you

Ooh, savannah song (sweet to surrender)
To you only
I send my love to you

Ooh, savannah song
To you only
To you only

You've got look real hard
There's a fiery star hidden out there somewhere
Not the satellite of love but a laser shooting out it's shiny tongue there

God is love, god is war
TV preacher tell me more
Lord redeem me, am I pure?
Pure as pure as heaven
Sent you money, sent you flowers
Could worship you for hours
In whose hands are we anyway?

Go waiting for the stars
To come showering down
From Moscow to Mars
Universe falling down

You've got look real hard
Is it in your heart? Yeah it's in there somewhere
The power wrapped in your palm, show it to me, hit them with your wrath and thunder

What's your pleasure? Tell it to me
How did you know? Show your beauty
In you somewhere, somewhere in me
Pure as pure as heaven
Sent you money, sent you flowers
Could worship you for hours
In whose hands are we anyway?
Yee-hah

Rolling along through a rose-coloured glow
The city looks pretty in pink
Armageddon is here

Did you ever have a lover leave you for another
And take your love and kisses for granted?
Never to discover war is not the answer, leave you only disenchanted

God is love, god is war (God is love, god is war)
TV preacher tell me more (God is pure as pure as heaven)
Father help me, am I pure?
Pure as pure as geaven
Sent you money, sent you flowers (God is love, god is war)
Could worship you for hours (God is pure as pure as heaven)
In whose hands are we anyway?

Go waiting for the stars
To come showering down
From Moscow to Mars
Universe falling down

Go ahead with your scheming
And shop at home, you'll find treasure while cooking up bones
But the knife is sharp, you'd better watch that you don't cut your hands

And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep

And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep

Go ahead with your dreaming
For what it's worth or you'll be stricken-bound kicking up dirt
For when it's dark, you never know what the night will bring

Go ahead with your scheming
And shop at home, you'll find treasure while cooking up bones
But the knife is sharp, you'd better watch that you don't cut your hands

And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep

And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep

Holy moses, our hearts are screaming
Souls are lifting, only dreaming
We'll be waiting, some are praying
For a time where no one's cheating

The sunlight rising over the horizon
Just a distant memory
The dawn chorus (dawn chorus)
Birds singing, bells ringing
In our hearts, in our minds

And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep

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

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
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

Wandering through the back roads
And the rain comes rushing down
To resolve your love
For this man in his twenties

Am I right?
Am I wrong?
Or am I just dreaming?

If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown
Honey I'm still free, take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test, if you let me try

Take a chance on me
Take a chance on me

We can go dancing, we can go walking
As long as we're together
Listen to some music, maybe just talking
Get to know you better

'Cause you know I've got so much that I wanna do
When I dream I'm alone with you, it's magic!
You wanted to leave me there, afraid of a love affair
But I think you know, that I can't let go

If you change your mind, I'm the first in line
Honey I'm still free, take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, and I'll be around
If you've got no place to go, when you're feeling down

If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown
Honey I'm still free, take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test, if you let me try

Take a chance on me
Take a chance on me

Oh you can take your time baby, I'm in no hurry
I know I'm gonna get ya
You don't wanna hurt me, baby don't worry
I ain't gonna let ya

Let me tell you now: my love is strong enough
To last when things are rough, it's magic!
You say that I waste my time, but I can't get you off my mind
No I can't let go, 'cause I love you so

Hopping in
If you like what you're seeing take a chance with me, ya!
You won't be grabbed, if you're feeling horny
Well, you've passes so you got to know this precious property
I don't know the lads, so call me MC K
Nobody sits, understand me clearly
However hard he try, could he never own me
We all fit nice and just move freely
Special K, what he says all said carefully
Me not sit all along and just wait by phone
Not call me 'cause me never, never home ya
Machinegun as we get the wrong one
Master Mark, master Paul, mister Luke and John
If we like what we see we chance a situation
Nothing don't pay nothing, maybe see what follow on
What a Jill may do if the right man come?
Hey reagge boat, come we just have a little fun!
Go now!

Baba-ba-ba-ba, baba-baba-ba-baba
Honey I'm still free, take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test, if you let me try

If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown
Honey I'm still free, take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test, if you let me try

There's something going on, something not quite right
There something strange a-happening to me
There's someone at the door, I hear voices in my head
It seems things aren't the way they ought to be

Who needs love like that?
Who needs love like that?

It seemed so clear before I held my point of view
I kept my conversation never changed
And now it's all gone wrong and words are kinda hard
And nothing else around me looks the same

Who needs love like that?
Who needs love like that?

Love can turn you upside-down then leave you cold
It's plain to see you're losing all control

Who needs love like that?
Who needs love like that?

I'd like to understand, like to find out why
I can't remember all the lines I should say
But then I see your face and nothing really counts
Don't tell me now this feeling will stay

Who needs love like that?
Who needs love like that?

Love can turn you upside-down then leave you cold
It's plain to see you're losin' all control

Who needs love like that?
Who needs love like that?

Who needs love like that?
Who needs love like that?

Who needs love like that?
