Echo & The Bunnymen - Zimbo Lyrics

Cu Cu Cu Cucumber.

On živi samnom u selu moj drug od zabavista legenda od čoveka

My granny died at 96...50 was youth to her

ricordi fantastici di una gioventù libera e spensierata

when you hear thunder in the sky, it is pete who plays the sky drums... play your drums Pete...we miss you!!!

Beautiful song so charged of nostalgy. I now realize the images were filmed in Florence, (Italy) city centre: Ponte Vecchio, lungarni, Piazza de la Signoria...

Loved it then. Old man now, still love it.

My tuxedo cat Zimbo always stops by when I’m listening to this song... He’s very special with such a strong name

R.I.P Pete de Freitas.

Dutch by descent

What an amazing version of an incredibly deep and beautiful song. RIP Pete.

"Bed bugs you gave me!"

I still cannot believe there are not more people who think that this is the tune of their lifetime

I'm pretty sure there are many, many more than you think!

dustinzk I know. Mine is Threshold by DCD.

Flying
And you know I'm not coming down
You're trying
But you know you must soon go down
All my colours
Turn to clouds
All my colours
Turn to cloud
Zimbo zimbo zimbo zimbo zimbo
Zimbo zimbo zimbo zimbo zimbo
Zimbo zimbo zimbo zimbo zimbo
Zimbo zimbo zimbo zimbo zimbo
What d'you say
When your heart's in pieces
How to play
Those cards in sequence
That box you gave me
Burned nicely
That box you gave me
Burned nicely
Zimbo zimbo zimbo zimbo zimbo
Zimbo zimbo zimbo zimbo zimbo
Zimbo zimbo zimbo zimbo zimbo
Zimbo zimbo…

@Hugh Jass...... Take another listen. New Order never created anything as delicate or intricate as this..........ever. Sorry to burst the bubble. Peace

"That box you gave me, it burned nicely."-Best lyric ever-

Specials thinks tonight for my Doggy Dog,my only friend in my world of Dreams,Love and Music,ZIMBO who was gone for Paradise for Eternity.My Dog ZIMBO never i forget you because you are always in my heart and in my mind forever and ever!!!!You are my sunshine in my night until the end of my days.See you soon in the stars of my life.You are like me,alone but ours angels are always with us.I Love You ZIMBO and i will cry all the night for you but rest in peace and one day i follow you and no more fear for you and me my Berger Allemand and nobody scared you and me.Since 5 years my life is bad without you because i'm still ill and now i have no more friends and my family don't understand me because all people are crazy,sure all crazy,but don't be afraid i will survive only for you in this cruel world just in memory of you ZIMBO my king of the DOGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nouvelle vague do a nice version of this...haunting almost....and a version of killing moon also

So zen moment!!

My favorite version of this song.And the video;well done!

Yeah and RIP, or shred in Heaven, Peter!

My funeral song.......

Mine too and MY WAY Sidney Vicious.

Treasure!

Oh Pete...so sad.

remind me of Bono's voice and its way of singing. Could have nearly been a U2 song

oh how i simply could tell him? doesn't like U2?

+khr rss Ha! better ask him! : )

@dizzypuppy ok i will as soon as i could!

+dizzypuppy So glad you said that! I was gonna say the same thing! Ian hated Bono with a passion. Used to call him "a fat mountain goat" coz he was always climing up pa systems!

Don't insult our Ian comparing him with that pretentious ass

Happy 57th Ian x

wow!!  love it so.....

Saw them 3 times. Still beautiful music.

our youth is gone but it was a great time to live....

Didier D love it

Didier D indeed

I think youth is over-rated...

Beloved Pete

Look at Pete bless him. World makes no sense sometimes.

A comment about my favourite dead drummer from my favourite live drummer! Tho somehow i think youre not THE Steve Gadd!!

Love this song, Ian had, still has the best voice in music.

This live performance/recording is pure greatness. And the images here...thank you, from one who walked under these arches and over that bridge just the other day.

usually women get away with everything... lol

gorgeous song...

wow. a joy division song i never heard before . . .

Hugh Jass my thoughts exactly xxx

You've never heard Atmosphere?

Piss off

This is such an incredible song.
So full of emotions. Straight from the heart.
Listen carefully and you will feel the pain.
Echo and The Bunnymen have made some fantastic songs.
This song is the best they ever made.

do people really understand how influential this band is?

Pete de Freitas = Beautiful and criminally underrated . RIP x

These guys are the real deal!

I wore my hair like Ian's in highschool and got made fun of relentlessly.

0:46. Hair.

by far the best version of Zimbo, for me.

Is the drummer on something cause at the beginning he is staring aimless into space

Never forget Pete!!!Respect from Thessaloniki Greece!!!

Chocolate eggs are entirely appropriate to the Bunnyman.

people who listen to this band seem like they are highly educated they have good english grammer

@konstantine84 Jim Morrison I believe

This is truly amazing clip - thanks for posting. I too listen to them EVERYDAY and never get bored. They are a great band. No one sounds like the Bunnymen!

A class act - LFC also eh? ;)

Find and watch Soda Stereo - Efecto Doppler

@EWQWEQQD Ennoeitai pos oxi. Apla to topio mou thimise nomo pierias.

@Gurumze sovara milas?

Those shots of Pete at the beginning make me feel so old and make me cry so much. This is a wonderful song but mainly this clip makes me want to cry.

@JustCamus You are welcome!

I can't remember if I've thanked you for posting this already. This is my favorite version of all I've heard. Live In Liverpool has some great performances. Thank you.

Go on Will!

There is something really sad about this footage, even though it's just them on tour. Maybe because they're young, maybe it's because it's grainy, maybe it's the song with it, or maybe it's because Pete's in it but I can't help but feel sad when I watch it. I used to prefer the versions with the fast drumming but this is now my favourite version of this song.

Completely blown away...fantastic

@onecatfromhell They have released new albums Last one was the fountain .....not like their old stuff but still really good! I have to agree with you though, I wish I could go back i time :-)

Really well constructed documenrary for the soundtrack. The editing is full of symbolism and is hauntingly sympathetic.

Zimbo, zimbo,zimbo perfect song early eigthies. Oh give me back my love and time of my life.Better than the cure and the rest of the colours.

@999Cinderwolf actually i think they owe us something: a comeback with new songs and not with the old ones!!!

@onecatfromhell ...No? uhmm, well maybe You have right... but I still thinking that time owe them some things...

@999Cinderwolf they were not that underrated at the time!

OMG!!! This reminds my late teens!! please god!!! make time goes back!!!

I will never understand how is the fucked fact that great bands like that are so underrated and subestimated... well, I´m myself a big fan from Sisters of Mercy and Mission UK both, but I arrive to the conclussion that they borrowed this introduction (or Wayne H. do it, may be?) from them... just listen first this awesome song and immediately after listyen to "Wasteland"... and we could talk later...

ENOUGH TO MAKE YOU CRY

A tribute to the late Pete De Freitas, RIP. An awesome drummer, and very nice person to boot.

I Love this Song ... so much Jeanny!

This so beautiful and Haunting that it brings me to tears

Probably one of the best songs ever.

what is the fuckin hell is zimbo

what a song...

shivers down my spine... the drums and guitar are wonderful... beautiful.

simply beautiful...one of my favorite songs of all time!!!

really? how do you know? sorce?

what is a Zimbo?

Powerful.
Almost a tribute to Pete...So sad.

eternal

I agree borgmeister....Saw these lads in concert in Norfolk,VA shortly after the release of 'Ocean Rain':superb!...One of the all-time tightest bands since the Velvets themselves.But there still is great music.You just have to rummage for it.

all my colours turn to clouds is a wonderful line...whole piece is wonderful bunnymen...there are lots of comments about the nonsense sounds these days and sometimes you just have to agree that there was some truly great music around once...upon a time

That box you gave me.....
Burned nicely......

RIP pete de fritas, incredible video.

Well in Europe, there are eggs made of chocolate marketed for kids that open up and have some sort of toy in them. They're usually made in Germany and called "Kinder Surprise".
Hope that solves it for you. :-)

Oh, no offense taken whatsoever.
I'm also amazed at the fact that someone who used to shout "f... the mainstream" live on national TV now delivers his band's new album through kids' chocolate eggs and what have you.. :-)
Yet, it's still true that the same band makes some good songs. Mac and people like him have denied that for too long, and that's probably one of the reasons why they remained where they were. At least the other guys were humble about what they did.

Nice one dizzypuppy - I certainly meant no disrespect to any other band ( I'm a singer / songwriter myself and it's a cut throat business ) my angst is aimed at the money making moguls of the industry who are the ones who decide who the mainstream get to listen to - thank the lord for new technology which allows artists more freedom

You know, I agree. I know who you mean by "superbands" and I don't have the same opinion, I think "they" had a lot of good songs too. But the Bunnymen were really something else and didn't get discovered the way they should.

The Bunnymen were simply incomparable.
They will live forever because of their music - long after some of the hyped so called superbands are but a distant memory.
I saw them many times in the early 80's and they moved me like no other band before or since.

My point is that some of the bands, according about what i know (i'm from Portugal) were an oportunirtuy to music industry as predators construct a fashion, a movement.
Malcolm Mclaren knew that.
The factory was pure, they don't even had contracts.
But all most major labels were predators.
And Who cares?
Music it what remains.
Echo was a great band, i still listen almost everyday.

....Simply....Heavenly..
No words!

Absolutely Brilliant.

Heaven up here is a master piece of music. As JD Closer and Unknown Pleasures. I like also Chameleons one of the bands that influenced Echo. I don't think that what JD want it was not their mythification. As the New Order proved. Of course it was a movement around record industry. Same industry that created frauds after the success of the Sex Pistols.
In Echo, Chameleons, Piostols, JD, New Order, Cure, Siouxie, some others, i found some intention to music and to life.
By the way, Crocodiles?

That song!
Echo and Bunnymen were the best group ever!
Best than Joy Division and those mechandising from Manchester. That sold us a guy called New Order.
Echo and the Bunnymen were the best band Ever!
Political, coherent, and genious.

Beautiful! Moving!

This is one of my favourite tracks from the Bunnymen....Top band.
