Echo & The Bunnymen - The Somnambulist Lyrics






The dreams are chair wheels in his oceans
Walks in his sleep, the somnambulist
Beneath the seabed, magic potions
Waters deep for the somnambulist

Well here it is then
Loneliness
Something's not to fear then
Only this
Only-ness

Out of body, through the wall
Felt so holy, felt so small
Close to godly, I'm minuscule
The handle-wall, my molecule

Well here it is then
Loneliness
Somethings not to fear then
Only this
Only-ness

Up, down, up and down
That place, whole place, I had to face
On the staircase, don't my dreams break
Don't make me wake up

Well here it is then
Loneliness
Something's not to fear then
Only this
Only-ness
Only-ness

Only-ness
Well here it is then
Only-ness
Here it is then
Only-ness
Here it is then
Only-ness
Here it is then
Only-ness
Here it is then
Only-ness
Here it is then
Only-ness

  38. R.... ....

    The dreams are chair wheels in his oceans
    Walks in his sleep, the somnambulist
    Beneath the seabed, magic potions
    Waters deep for the somnambulist

    Well here it is then
    Loneliness
    Something's not to fear then
    only this
    only-ness

    Out of body, through the wall
    Felt so holy, felt so small
    Close to godly, I'm minuscule
    The hallow wall, my molecule

    Well here it is then
    Loneliness
    Some fear's not to fear then
    Only this
    only-ness

    Up, down, up and down
    That place, whole place, I had to face
    On the staircase, don't my dreams break
    Don't make me wake up

    Well here it is then
    Loneliness
    Something's not to fear then
    Only this
    Only-ness
    Only-ness

    Only-ness
    Well here it is then
    Only-ness
    Here it is then
    Only-ness
    Here it is then
    Only-ness
    Here it is then
    Only-ness
    Here it is then
    Only-ness
    Here it is then
    Only-ness (faded)

    I'm uncertain if the song says "chair wheels" that's just my best guess.
    Thank you to Daniel Cruz for contributing.

    R.... ....

    "Some fear's not to fear then"...

    R.... ....

    @Daniel Cruz Great suggestions. They sound better than my own, so I added them.

    R.... ....

    Said "Hallow" though not "Hollow"

    R.... ....

    Either way, just enjoy the song

    R.... ....

    The dreams of giant whales in his oceans(?)

  42. O.... S....

    Excellent songwriting, superb musicianship, interesting arrangement but... Mac just sounds too tired...

  43. C.... S....

    Better than anything off Meteorites. Good step forward.

    C.... S....

    Meteorites had a few good tracks. The singles were strong and melodic.

    C.... S....

    Joey Levenson apart from Constantinople I felt the album was weak. Disappointed. But this track is back to form .

  44. I.... B....

    i loved this voice

  45. K.... B....

    You guys are the best . Thank you so much for everything

    The greatest band of all time, easily. Saw them live 3 months ago for about the 30th time and they were amazing as always, keep it coming lads....never stop.

    Glad they're back and pushing their melodies out.

  64. P.... M....

    es un buen tema

  65. c.... a....

    yes !! waiting for you..

  66. A.... ....

    Ethereal love forever

  67. J.... S....

    If you grew up with them, they could fart in a microphone and it would sound good.

    J.... S....

    Jeff Svirtunas I once adored them, but this boring, as all their recent records.

    J.... S....

    @Ruud Langezaal -totally understand what you're saying....

    J.... S....

    The band that Coldplay modelled their sound from, but in a much more repetitive insipid lift music sort of way.

  68. J.... G....

    Hi from Brazil ! Love it...

  69. D.... H....

    Debuted in my weekly personal chart on August 26, 2018 edition :)

  70. V.... T....

    your beloved sound, again.

  71. A.... P....

    Much better than reworking old songs. Much rather hear this.

    A.... P....

    This is okay, like to get new songs from them, but their other songs are just *so* good, so memorable

    A.... P....

    yeah. an unexciting prospect. of course i'll give it a chance it speaks to me as saying "our creative well has virtually dried up". this is new song is decent enough

    A.... P....

    Anthony Peterson his songs he can do what he wants

    A.... P....

    @merboy ontiveros *their songs. And you're right, they can do what they want. I just won't listen.

    A.... P....

    Best track on the album by far in my opinion.

  72. D.... O....

    Definitely one of my favourites ..... keep it coming Macca lad .. Bunnymen getting better ! 👍🐰🐰🐰🐰

  73. B.... B....

    I love it too! Echo Rules!

  74. M.... S....

    I love it.❤

    M.... S....

    Hi, I can’t sleep I’m so excited

  75. E.... R....

    Favorite band of all time. Have to get the lyrics for this one, but love the title.

    E.... R....

    BTW, since I apparently have the honor of first comment, I'd like to advise Mac and Will to NOT Google 'Echo and the Bunnymen fanfiction'. Like I did. Because I wanted to prove that there WASN'T a fanfic for everything. I was wrong. :(

    E.... R....
