Erasure – Perfect Stranger / Chorus – Friday Night at the Dome 1991
Erasure – Perfect Stranger
Hell I gave up my time
For a no good affair
You’d think I’d learned by now
To be taken in
By a perfect stranger
That I had the know how
Still more fool me
For kidding myself
That’s the way it should be
Maybe I should grow up
Would I feel confined to the same place
Or would I feel that I talked myself into a corner
So long you’re no friend of mine
You’re false and unkind
You’re indestructible
No place I’d rather be
Than in the ring with you
We’d go twenty rounds
Still more fool me
For kidding myself
That’s the way it should be
Maybe I should grow up
Would I feel confined to the same space
Or would I feel that I talked myself into a corner
I see the sky move above me
But I just can’t take control
What a sweet sensation
Woaoh! Ho! Oh!
Ah Ha! Love sweet sweet love
Hell I gave up my time
For a no good affair
You’d think I’d learned by now
To be taken in
By a perfect stranger
That I had the know how
Still more fool me
For kidding myself
That’s the way it should be
Maybe I should grow up
Would I feel confined to the same place
Or would I feel (so goodbye stranger) that I talked myself into a corner

Erasure – Chorus
Go ahead with your dreamin’
For what it’s worth
Or you’ll be stricken bound
Kickin’ up dirt
For when it’s dark
You never know what the night it may bring
Go ahead with your schemin’
And shop at home
You’ll find treasure
While cookin’ up bones
But the knife is sharp
You’d better watch that you don’t cut your hands
And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep
And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep
Go ahead with your dreamin’
For what it’s worth
Or you’ll be stricken bound
Kickin’ up dirt
For when it’s dark
You never know what the night it may bring
Go ahead with your schemin’
And shop at home
You’ll find treasure
While cookin’ up bones
But the knife is sharp
You’d better watch that you don’t cut your hands
And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep
And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep
Holy Moses our hearts are screaming
Souls are lifting only dreaming
We’ll be waiting some are praying
For a time when no one’s cheating
The sunlight rising over the horizon
Just a distant memory a dawn chorus
Birds singing bells ringing
In our hearts in our minds
And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep
And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep
And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep
And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep
