Echo and the Bunnymen – The Killing Moon. Lyrics under the fold.
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
Excellent. I’m listening to MoTown today.
I love Echo and the Bunnymen. MoTown too. It’s nice you can never run out of music.
Oh! I recognize! Because Nouvelle Vague covers it. I like this version, too!
Did you not see the movie Donnie Darko? This song featured in it.
Saw it ages ago, will have to rewatch. That movie had a great soundtrack.
Nice.
Was fortunate to see them in the late-80s at the Greek Theater in Berkeley.
Jim:
Oooh, lucky you! I never did get to see them.
