Storm In A Tea Cup - Erasure



I'm just saying
I want my mummy back
Lost her to the drink
But her soul's intact
Mama said to me
Be proud of who you are
She saw Jesus in the eyes
Of a broken man

Sail away
I am learning my lesson
Mama sends her love
And Godspeed you come home soon

One little white lie was enough
To conceal my goodbye
Then I stole away
Kissed her farewell
And wished her the best for life
Then I stole away, woah
Like a thief in the night

I'm just saying
Not behind daddy's back
He takes care of her
In his overtime
He's no saint I know
As he goes around the town
Watch him cry himself to sleep
He's my daddy

Sail away
I will go it alone now
Leave my past behind
To seek fortune and fame

One little white lie was enough
To conceal my goodbye
Then I stole away
Kissed her farewell
And wished her the best for life
Then I stole away, woah
Like a thief in the night

Sail away
There's a storm in a teacup
Mama sends her love
And Godspeed you come home

One little white lie was enough
To conceal my goodbye
Then I stole away
Kissed her farewell
And wished her the best for life
Then I stole away, woah
Like a thief in the night

One little white lie was enough
To conceal my goodbye
Then I stole away
Like a prodigal son
And wished her the best for life
Then I stole away, woah
Like a thief in the night

Sunday Girl - Erasure



Blinded by the vision
I turn and face my back to the wall
Cause I'm locked up in a rhythm
The prism of a big glitter ball

Wrapped around your finger
I'm caught up in the middle with you baby
With some laughter and drinking
There's very little else I can do

Then I go and drop a bombshell upon you
I been making eyes at somebody else
You're no longer number one

She loves the night and all that glitters
Her name in lights around the city
Don't you mess your life up Sunday girl

You rushing down like a roller-coaster
Night on the town gonna make the most of
We can dance till Sunday morning girl

You pushing and a shoving me
Baby like a bitch to the wall
But you're driving me crazy
Right up to fever pitch I could fall

When you shine down your love-light
I'm getting blinded by the sight and sound

She loves the night and all that glitters
Her name in lights around the city
Don't you mess your life up Sunday girl

Then I go and drop a bombshell upon you
I been making eyes at somebody baby
You're no longer number one

She loves the night and all that glitters
Her name in lights around the city
Don't you mess your life up Sunday girl

You rushing down like a roller-coaster
Night on the town gonna make the most of
We can dance till Sunday morning
We can dance till Sunday morning
We can dance till Sunday morning girl

I could fall in love with you - Erasure



Come and hold me
And dissolve me
But I never do what I am told to
You enthuse me
Don't abuse me
At the worse of times you'll never lose me

There are times when I could fall in love with you
There are times when I would scream till I was blue

Don't get me wrong
I can be strong
When I could fall in love with you
Don't let me down
Take me to test
When I could fall in love with you
Like a child
Like a child

I was dreaming
We were sleeping
And you held me tight to keep believing
Don't upset me
I won't let you
Fall into a space that's empty

There are times when I could fall in love with you
There are times when I would scream till I was blue

Don't get me wrong
I can be strong
When I would fall in love with you
Don't let me down
Take me to test
When I could fall in love with you
Like a child
Like a child

There are times when I could fall in love with you
There are times when I would scream till I was blue

Don't get me wrong
I can be strong
When I would fall in love with you
Don't let me down
Take me to test
When I would fall in love with you
Like a child
Like a child

Don't get me wrong
I can be strong
When I would fall in love with you
Don't let me down
Take me to test
When I would fall in love with you
Like a child
Like a child

In my arms - Erasure



The deal is on the rise again
The ship comes in to shore
You've been away to somewhere
But life goes on no less

Through the foreign ocean
Underneath the sea

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

Through the foreign ocean
Underneath the sea

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
