Echo & the Bunnymen

Echo & the Bunnymen are an English post-punk band, formed in Liverpool in 1978. The original line-up consisted of vocalist Ian McCulloch, guitarist Will Sergeant and bass player Les Pattinson, supplemented by a drum machine. By 1980, Pete de Freitas joined as the band's drummer, and their debut album, Crocodiles, met with critical acclaim and made the UK Top 20.

How can you pretend
When there's so much at stake?
That it's a different world
And your hands don't shake?

At the end of the room
And the foot of the bar
We knew that soon
We'd be makin' our mark

Why do you defend
The part you have to take?
With your fingers on the world
Hoping your hands don't shake?

When you get the time
Why not think about
Connecting yours and mine
And turning into ours?

Back to the bar
I was feelin' it
The hole in the floor
Was where I would sit

Positions will be lost
And things will fall in place
The falling will not stop
Till we have found our face

Oh, will you mention?
Oh, will you mention my name to all?
Oh, will you mention my name to me?

Gods will be Gods
But my Lord forgot
I was made out of skin
Bones will be bones
But when I came home
There was no one in

So where were you stayin'
While I was out playin'?
Was nobody laying the foundation
The fulfilling of our killing?

How can you pretend
That there's so much at stake?
And it's a different world
And everything shakes?

You're the [Incomprehensible]
You're the aftertaste
I am total love
I am total hate

Let's face facts
We won't mind
Stripped of us
We will
