ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN - HEAVEN UP HERE

Heaven Up HereShow of Strength

No Dark Things
Turquoise Days
All I Want

Show of Strength

Realistically
It's hard to dig it all too happily
But I can see
It's not always that real to me
A funny thing
Is always a funny thing
Though sadly things
Just get in the way

Open to suggestion
Falling over questions

Hopefully
But that's as well as maybe
A shaking hand
Won't transmit all fidelity
Your golden smile
Would shame a politician
Typically
I'll apologise next time

Bonds will break and fade
Go snapping all in two
The lies that bind the tie
Come sailing out of you

Realistically, 
Hard to dig it all too happily
But I can see, 
Not always that real to me
A funny thing
Is always a funny thing
And those sadly things
Is always a sadly thing

Bonds will break and fade
A snapping all in two
The lies that bind the tie
Come sailing out of you

A show of strength
Is all you want
You can never set it down...

Guts and passion
Those things you can't
Even set down
All those things you think might count
You can't ever set them down
Don't ever set them down
Never set them down
Hey, I came in right on cue
One is me and one is you...
Hey, I came in right on cue
One is me and one is you...

With a Hip

Halt halt halt halt
Nobody's allowed
Strictly verboten
Out out out out
Bounds, of course we know no bounds
Until, at least, and then
Trespass all the way down

We've got it and I want some
I can handle it, and I want some
Relax, feel the pleasure inside
Error in trial, collide collide

You won't listen
I don't expect you to
We've lost
And something's all we can do

With a hip hip hop and a flip flap flop
Gonna steal some bananas from the grocer's shop
With your head in the clouds 
And your trousers undone
Gonna shit on the carpet
Just like everyone

Chorus:
This is the one for the money
This is the one for the trees
This is the one called heaven
And this is the one for me

You've yet to discover 
discover the difference
The difference between moral and mortal
They've got it and I have some
I couldn't handle it but I have some

Hold it in the light
And see right through it
For god's sake make a decision
Take it for a walk
And hold it hold it
Pin it on the wall and fasten onto

Move to the back 
And oh yes oh yes
Do what must be done
And don't say maybe

(Chorus)

Over the Wall

The man at the back has a question
His tongue's involved with solutions
But the monkey on my back
Won't stop laughing

Chorus:
Over the wall
Hand in hand
Over the wall
Watch us fall

There's something to be said for you
And your hopes of higher ruling
But the slug on my neck
Won't stop chewing

(chorus)

I'm walking in the rain
To end this misery
I'm walking in the rain
To celebrate this misery
What's that you say?
Speak up, I can't hear you
What do you say?
I couldn't hear you

(chorus)

Out on the road coast to coast (x2)

I'm over the wall
I'm over the wall
I'm over the wall
Come over the wall
Come over the wall

I can't sleep at night
How I wish you'd hold me tight
I can't sleep at night
Come on and hold me tight...

Chorus 1:
I can't sleep at night
How I wish you'd hold me tight
Come on and hold me tight

(chorus 1)
Come on and hold me tight

I can't sleep at night
How I wish you'd hold me tight
Hold me tight (x2)

To my logical limit
To the logical limit
(x2)

It Was a Pleasure

Let's get through this shit
I know you'd like that too
The stuff that undermines 
The best of me and you

It was a pleasure to meet you
You slapped me right on the back
Just a pleasure to meet you
You got it almost exact
Make no discussion now
Make no bad dreams now
Make no reason now
Make no excuses now

If I knock it all back 
Just like you say I do
Would it confirm the suspect 
That suspicion will do?

It was a pleasure to meet you
You slapped me right on the back
Just a pleasure to meet you
You got it almost exact

Make no discussion now
Make no illusion now
Make no god lucid now
Make no excuses now
(x2)

Let's get rid of this shit
I know you'd like that too
The stuff that undermines 
The best of me and you
Failure to do so will result in the failure
Failure to do so will result in the failure

A Promise

You said something will change
We were all dressed up
Somewhere to go
No sign of rain
But something will change
You promised

You said nothing will change
We were almost near
Almost far
Down came the rain
But nothing will change
You promised

A promise (x3)

It's exactly the same
You said
It's always the same
But I'll make it change
Into something the same
I promise

A promise (x3)

Light on the waves (x4)
A promise (x4)
(Light on the water)
(We could sail on forever) A promise
A promise
(There's light on the water)
(We could sail on forever) A promise
(There's light on the water) A promise (x2)
(We could sail on forever) A promise
(There's Light on the water) A promise (x2)
(We could sail on forever)

Heaven up Here

Where are you now
We're over here
We've got those empty pockets
And we can't afford the beer
Smoking holes and we've got only dreams
And we're so damn drunk we can't see the stairs

The apple cart upset my head's little brain
This little moon in the sky upset my head with a brain

I saw what you did, I did, I swear
Walking through the hallway
Crawling up the stairs
And baby baby baby baby baby Bekila
Given up on whisky
Taken up with tequila
I'm on my own in my blind alley
I turn myself around
So it's swallowing me

Watch the guitar (x2)

Groovy groovy people
We're all groovy groovy people
Groovy groovy people
We're all groovy groovy people
Groovy groovy people
Groovy groovy people

I wonder why
(?????)
(?????)
(?????)
Me and the wall
We're okay, we're okay

The boom-boom box says there's nothing to fear
It may be hell down there
'Cause it's heaven up here
I'd have given forever for a few good years
But too much of a much isn't
too much you hear

The hammer on my chest was (???)
the anvil on my bed it was a domino (???)

And at the bottom
We'll take the bottle
We'll take a sip

The Disease

My life's the disease
That could always change
With comparative ease
Just given the chance
My life is the earth
'Twixt muscle and spade
I wait for the worth
Digging for just one chance

As prospects diminish
As nightmares swell
Some pray for heaven
While we live in hell
My life's the disease
My life's the disease

If you get yours from heaven
Don't waste them
If you get yours from heaven
Don't waste them
If you get yours from heaven

All My Colours

Flying
And you know I'm not coming down
You're trying
But you know you must soon go down
All my colours
Turn to clouds
All my colours
Turn to cloud

Chorus:
Zimbo zimbo zimbo zimbo zimbo (x4)

What d'you say
When your heart's in pieces
How to play
Those cards in sequence
That box you gave me
Burned nicely
That box you gave me
Burned nicely

(chorus)

Flying down (x2)

All my colours
Turn to clouds
All my colours
Turn to cloud

Hey I'm flowing (x2)
That box you gave me
Burned nicely
That box you gave me
Burned nicely
Hey I'm blown away (x2)
All my colours

No Dark Things

My life picks
My hands clean
No head shaved
It's quite sane
Compromise discovery
It's just and it's only

I took the pill
All you missed
Constued all
The tactics

You must learn
To dintinguish error from your fate
They don't think it's funny
That he's beginning to accept the facts

To the middle of the floor
You walked over
In the middle of the war
The picture still hanging
From the corner of my eye
You stick pins in
In the middle of the floor
I fell over

We have no dark things
Nothing to hide of that
Just some heads and a wish
Something to sing about
We have no dark things
Nothing to hide of that
Just some heads and a wish
Something to shout about
We have no dark things
Nothing to hide of that
Just some heads and a wish
Something to sing about

No dark things (x8)

Turquoise Days

Just when the thought occurs
The panic will pass
And the smell of the fields
Never lasts
Put your faith
In those crimson nights
Set sail
In those turquoise days

Chorus:
You've got a problem
Come on over
(x2)

It's not for glory
It's not for honour
Just something someone said
It's not for love
It's not for war
Just hands clasped together

It's not for living
It's for hunger
Just lips locked tight
It's not rebellion
It's not suffering
It's just the way it is

And my duffel's packed
And my goggles with me
I feel easy
And I want it
And I need it
And I've got it

It's not for this
It's not for that
It's not any of it

Did you say knowledge?
Did you say prayer?
Did you say anything?
If not for good
If not for better
If not the way it is

Just when the thought occurs
The panic will pass
And the smell of the fields
Never lasts
We'll put your faith 
In those crimson nights
Set sail
In those turquoise days

Place our faith
In those crimson nights
Set sail
In those turquoise days

(chorus)

Now I think I know
Just what to say
(x2)

All I Want

I'd be bad to feel so bad
Waking up like thing so red
Up and down and down the stairs
Set myself up in the chin

And said all I love is all I love
All I want is all I want

If we make the same mistake
Who could we blame
When we make the same mistake 
Who will we blame
Who will we blame
What will we blame?

But then all I love
All I love
All we want
All we want

I had a healthy discussion
I had a sleep in the chair
I laid my head on a cushion
Because it was there
I had a flame in the dark
It was...
Up and down and down the skin
Set myself up in the chin

And said all I love is
All I love
All I want 
Is all I want 
(You've got the hands)
All I love 
(To hold the key)
Is all I love
All I want 
(You've got the hands)
Is all I want
(To hold the key)

If we make the same mistakes 
Who could we blame
When we make the same mistake
Who could we blame
Who will we blame
What could we blame?
When we make 
The same mistake
Who will we blame?...
