Echo and the Bunnymen - Silver (1984)

From the album Ocean Rain in 1984



Swung from a chandelier
My planet sweet on a silver salver
Bailed out my worst fears
'Cause man has to be his own saviour
Blind sailors
Imprisoned jailers
God tame us
No one to blame us

Chorus 1:
The sky is blue
My hands untied
A world that's true
Through our clean eyes
Just look at you
With burning lips
You're living proof
At my fingertips

Walked on a tidal wave
Laughed in the face of a brand new day
Food for survival thought
Mapped out the place where I planned to stay

All the way
Well behaved
Just in case
It slips away

(chorus 1)

Chorus:
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
(x2)

(chorus 1)
Ti-ti-ti-ti-tips (x4)
