Erasure - Drama! Lyrics






One rule for us, for you another
Do unto yourself as you see fit for your brother
Is that not within your realm of understanding?
A fifty second capacity of mind, too demanding?
Well then poor unfortunate you
There are a myriad of things that you can do
Like pick up a pen and paper (Pick up a pen or paper)
Or go talk to a friend (Go and talk to a friend)
The mystery of the future (The mystery of the future)
No violence or revenge

Your shame is never ending
Just one psychological drama after another
You are guilty and how you ever entered into this life
God only knows, the infinite complexities of love

We all have the ability
Our freedom is fragile
We all laugh and we cry don't we?
We all bleed and we smile

Your shame is never ending
Just one psychological drama after another
You are guilty (Guilty) and how you ever entered into this life
God only knows, you're not to sacrifice the art of love

Your shame is never ending
Just one psychological drama after another
We are guilty (Guilty) and how we ever entered into this life
God only knows, the infinite complexities of love

We are guilty and how you ever entered into this life
The Lord only knows, we're not to sacrifice the art of love

We are guilty and how you ever entered into this life
The Lord only knows, the infinite complexities of love

We are guilty and how you ever entered into this life
The Lord only knows, the ultimate necessity of love

    Visionaries, ahead of the their time regarding future plastic global problems.

  55. P.... V....

    Erasure? no habian cerrado ese antro? los peores recuerdos de mi juventud con esta banda mierda y todas sus canciones de mierda.

  56. m.... N....

    Timeless Erasure !!!!

  57. W.... D....

    To think that when I was in high school and listened to rock, I was reluctant to hear such bands like Erasure. God, how could I be such an idiot to miss this wonder?

  58. T.... T....

    Such a great dance song...with ur sack hangin out...

  59. D.... K....

    So much going on in this song, I hear something new on each listen...😉

  60. R.... B....

    Escuchabamos la mejor musica nadie tenia miedo eatabamos seguros en cualquier lugar habia respeto todavia escuchabamos a nuestros padres despues no se que nos maldijo hoy esta fea la circunstancia nuestros padres no tenian miedos porque saliamos a bailar fuimos libres y se perdio todo

  67. A.... b....

    It must off been 15 years since I heard this tune and I still no all the words!

  68. D.... K....

    The Moog gladly fell very smooth. I guess it would break Vince`s heart to lose a synth for a video ;-)

  69. b.... ....

    When I was a little girl loved the video because of the cat And suffered a lot seeing the kitty between the garbage... by that time I didn’t know about the making of videos 😝

  93. M.... L....

    Temazoooooooo!!!!

  94. I.... ....

    A commentary on rampant consumerism and how the oceans are filled with plastics! These dudes were visionaries.

  95. i.... r....

    1989 used to listen to this in the naafi

  96. j.... ....

    This song is absolute quality. One of Vince's best efforts in my opinion with great lyrics and a crunching synth. He totally nailed it with this one. Top marks

  97. Y.... ....

    I am a heterosexual hard rocking metal head who loves Erasure. They are pop geniuses

  98. s.... ....

    just saw them live in Vancouver and they sounded amazing... he hasn't lost his voice..AMAZING!
