The Cutter - Echo & The Bunnymen

Who's on the seventh floor Brewing alternatives? What's in the bottom drawer Waiting for things to give? Spare us the cutter Spare us the cutter Couldn't cut the mustard Conquering myself Until I see another hurdle approaching Say we can, say we will Not just another drop in the ocean Come to the free for all With seven tapered knives Some of them six feet tall We will escape our lives Spare us the cutter Spare us the cutter Couldn't cut the m-m-mustard Conquering myself Until I see another hurdle approaching Say we can, say we will Not just another drop in the ocean Am I the happy loss? Will I still recoil When the skin is lost? Am I the worthy cross? Will I still be soiled When the dirt is off? Conquering myself Until I see another hurdle approaching Say we can, say we will Not just another drop in the ocean Ocean Watch the fingers close When the hands are cold Am I the happy loss? Will I still recoil When the skin is lost? Am I the worthy cross? Will I still be soiled When the dirt is off? Am I the happy loss? Will I still be soiled When the dirt is off?

The knife Has become dull I crave Something useful I hammer a nail Into the back Of your hand You say You're Messiah I say You're a Liar You set fire To the back Of my head My life's Never dull I crave Something stable I point a gun To the back Of your head I watch your body fold I imagine I'm in the middle I hammer a nail Into the back Of your hands You say you're my savior I dig the nail in deeper You set fire To the back Of my head My life's Never dull I crave Something stable I point a gun To the back Of your head

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

I wish that you were here Down amongst the dust I need someone to help me You need someone to trust There's something with these tears Turning me to rust I need someone to help me Yeah I need someone to touch Give me one more try And I'll come flaking back to you I wish that you were here I wish that it was true I can feel the stars shooting through my heart like rain Leaving on the scars where the pleasure turns to pain Point me in a light Bright and shiny in right direction And then take me home again Just when you thing it's over Just when you think it's done Out of every nowhere You never see it come I know the lines are showing I can't keep them in Like everybody's story It's written on the skin Give me one last try And I'll make it up to you Wish that you were here Wish that I was true I can feel the stars shooting through my heart like rain Leaving on the scars where the pleasure turns to pain Point me in a light Bright and shiny in right direction And then take me home again I wish that you were here Down amongst my dust I need someone to help me You need someone to trust There's something with these tears Turning me to rust I wish that you were here I wish that it was ours I can feel the stars shooting through my heart like rain Leaving on the scars where the pleasure turns to pain Point me in a light Bright and shiny in right direction And then take me home again ... Everything's gonna be all right ...

The dreams are chair wheels in his oceans Walks in his sleep, the somnambulist Beneath the seabed, magic potions Waters deep for the somnambulist Well here it is then Loneliness Something's not to fear then Only this Only-ness Out of body, through the wall Felt so holy, felt so small Close to godly, I'm minuscule The handle-wall, my molecule Well here it is then Loneliness Somethings not to fear then Only this Only-ness Up, down, up and down That place, whole place, I had to face On the staircase, don't my dreams break Don't make me wake up Well here it is then Loneliness Something's not to fear then Only this Only-ness Only-ness Only-ness Well here it is then Only-ness Here it is then Only-ness Here it is then Only-ness Here it is then Only-ness Here it is then Only-ness Here it is then Only-ness
