Erasure - Be Careful What You Wish For! Lyrics






Oh to be alive
It's a struggle to survive
From the dark of night
Will I reach and feel the light

Will I choose my fate
In the twinkle of an eye
From the firmament
Your ideal will come to life

Rumours grow from nothing
Like a whisper in the crowd
Stars they will collide
Lovers will abide
Be careful what you wish for
We could be the very best
Put me to the test
Think about it baby

Such a lonely voice
Gotta cry for Judgement Day
A dream realised
Got to pray to make it heard

Rumours grow from nothing
Like a whisper in the crowd
Stars they will collide
Lovers will abide
Be careful what you wish for
We could be the very best
Put me to the test
Think about it baby

Towers come crumbling down
Strike of lightning
Build it back up again
Circle of life slowly turns

Rumours grow from nothing
Like a whisper in the crowd
Stars they will collide
Lovers will abide
Be careful what you wish for
We could be the very best
Put me to the test
Think about it baby

Rumours grow from nothing
Like a whisper in the crowd
Stars they will collide
Lovers will abide
Be careful what you wish for
We could be the very best
Put me to the test
Think about it baby

  18. m.... ....

    Definitively should be the next single, my favorite by far!!!!

  19. e.... h....

    wonderful

  20. G.... ....

    Is it me or the chorus here is similar to the one from Charles & Eddie's "Would I Lie To You"? I can't shake this weird feeling.

  21. K.... ....

    The only one that I really appreciate. It has this unique thing.

  22. D.... K....

    this album is awfull !!! should be called ... where has erasure gone ...stop singing about love and saying baby all the time .... 30 years lol time to retire

    D.... K....

    This album is much, much deeper than that...

    D.... K....

    Scott Beckstead please explain ive neen a fan for 30 years for the t shirt done the gigs ... its bland .. low tempo .. they have run out of ideas and are flogging a dead career... look at the pet shop boys how modern and fresh they still sound

    D.... K....

    Hi David, I have been a long time fan as well. The tracks are definitely low tempo, but the lyrics (Excluding Love You to the Sky...not a good song) I believe are quite strong. I have always been a fan of their low-mid tempo songs though. I would rank Be Careful What You Wish For, World be Gone, Still it's Not Over and Bitter Parting up there with most low-mid tempo songs they've done recently.

  23. L.... e....

    I wish this was the next single... love it love it love it!!!!! Lots of love from Lucie, Czech ♥ see you in summer!

  24. J.... G....

    Love it!

  25. P.... M....

    Army of lovers fans?

    P.... M....

    Here. Why?

    P.... M....

    No... I was talking about Erasure and the choruses of this song

    P.... M....

    It doesn't ring Army of Lovers to me, but I find the chorus similar to Charles & Eddie's "Would I Lie To You" somehow.

    P.... M....

    I know what you mean but don´t see the similarity

  26. P.... M....

    Love the Bowie moment since minute 1:49

    P.... M....

    Miss Bowie!!

  27. H.... S....

    The CD sounds very samey... Where are the anthemic beats of the past? Trying too hard almost. Still light years ahead of other bands though.

  28. N.... ....

    At least it should sound awesome live i know its not the same but its a token i suppose.
    God you cant play album very loud, as has been said so distorted

  29. N.... S....

    Welthit.......

  30. p.... ....

    Lispy, muffled vocals during production/mastering has destroyed this album. It's present on every format - I have the Ltd. Edition Orange Vinyl and despite playing it on a pristine audiophile (high-end audio) setup - it was so bad I kept checking to see if there was fluff around the needle! Extremely disappointed that this wasn't picked up or corrected before pushing it out to fans - many of whom will see this as a shoddy return for their loyalty and investment.

    EDIT: I'm a life long Erasure fan (more so Vince Clarke) and I am not easily disappointed by the music they produce, I am however, frustrated at the poor production & mastering on their 17th studio album. Vince, Andy and loyal fans deserve much better than this.

    p.... ....

    some of the tracks really are classic though...try Lousy sum of nothing

    p.... ....

    Vinyl is NOT audiophile. There's your problem.

    p.... ....

    Martin Hill - thank you for clarifying and identifying the problem with the vocals - if only I had known my equipment was at fault I wouldn't have posted a comment. Can you explain why the FLAC files sound exactly the same? What type of equipment would you recommend the files are played through?

    p.... ....

    I really like this album, but you're right, that lisp is positively killing it. It literally sounds like Andy has missing teeth or something.

    p.... ....

    Lispy/muffled etc ..still it's what whey went after. Imaginative.

  31. G.... y....

    no es lo que esperaba!😒

  32. T.... A....

    The sound is a little loud? I feel the Kick sound distorted... ?? Mastering problems?

    T.... A....

    My Vinyl Records I agree cds don't sound the way they use to .I think they are recorded to loud

  33. h.... p....

    para mi gusto el disco tiene un ritmo muy lento y monotono. no tiene accion. salvo el primer tema de promocion

    h.... p....

    tienen mas de 50 años, hacen música para sus fans que los siguen desde 1984... no es maluma, es música.

    h.... p....

    Janomix: Taller de Sonido yo tengo 46 años y los sigo desde el primer disco y esta no era la musica que tocaban antes ni me salgas con maluma. escucha los discos viejos los q yo escuchaba de chico tienen ritmo esto no es muy low

    h.... p....

    Janomix: Taller de Sonido yo estoy acostumbrado a un chorus un wild un cowboy sere grande ya pero no me gusta este ritmo monono

    h.... p....

    Puede ser que hayan dejado a los remix, para que hagan sus versiones más rápidas

    h.... p....

    se nota que no sabes nada de musica, mejor anda a escuchar a shakira y maluma jaj

  34. S.... S....

    sorry but the whole album (but LYTTS) is slow and boring. I only had the same feeling with Loveboat before

    S.... S....

    Sarasa Sarlanga This album sounds to me like Release by Pet Shop Boys

    S.... S....

    you are absolutely right! I had the same thought. None of the songs will make it into my "Best-of-List"

    S.... S....

    Sarasa Sarlanga Alien from Loveboat is excellent.

    S.... S....

    I am enjoying this song and "Sweet Summer Loving", but that's about it! -- For the most part, this album is very disappointing, but hopefully they follow it up quickly with something more fun.

  35. N.... F....

    Andy sounds sour, such different vocals from nightbird where his voice were open and lush and nuanced

    N.... F....

    His vocals are very raw on this album. Very little effect used, which is a departure for such an electronic band. However I think there is much raw power, emotion and soul in recording Andy this way. This album is all about stripping it back and showcasing the strength of the songwriting, which sounds strong and confident to me. I think it'll be a grower for a lot of fans, hopefully it will grow on you! There is much erasure beauty to be found here.

    N.... F....

    Mumbles Cares raw powerful soulful are one thing tired strained and sour are another. Violet flame nightbird his was voice was lilting nuanced and rich take a listen and compare to this

    N.... F....

    Perhaps it's just as simple as it's just too many back to back albums , stage shows world tours, voices need rest and care

    N.... F....

    I think Andy's voice has taken a beating over the years. I think he still sounds better than the vast majority of vocalists out there, but he's definitely not at his peak.

  36. j.... h....

    Touching moving great tune

  37. C.... B....

    Gorgeous.
