Editors - What Is This Thing Called Love Lyrics






I've been your lover for the last time
All the pretending; God knows that we tried
I've been the doctor for the last time
If we weren't so good at it we'd have both been fine

I knock you down
Bruise you with my words
I patch you up
Now it's your turn

What is this thing called love that you speak?
We're out of it, we're out of it
What is this thing called love that you speak?
We're out of it, we're out of it

We built this city, now we tear it to the ground
This fight is over, hear the bell ringing out
At the end of the final round

And you knock me down
Cut me with a stare
You patch me up
Now it's my turn

What is this thing called love that you speak?
We're out of it, we're out of it
What is this thing called love that you speak?
Cause we're out of it, we're out of it [x2]

  13. B.... A....

    Phil Collins-style lyrics and Steve Perry-style falsetto. And yet this is still a decent song.

  14. D.... V....

    I hate the official videos that tamper with the studio cut. Those beautiful strings in the beginning set the mood perfectly and they're not here. But its such a soulful song anyway, can't wait til the summer to see them! Hope they jam this one

  15. A.... E....

    A voice like the great Ian Curtis...... Great.

    I've been your lover for the last time
    All the pretending; God knows that we tried
    I've been the doctor for the last time
    If we weren't so good at it we'd have both been fine

    I knock you down
    Bruise you with my words
    I patch you up
    Now it's your turn

    What is this thing called love that you speak?
    We're out of it, we're out of it 
    What is this thing called love that you speak?
    We're out of it, we're out of it 

    We built this city, now we tear it to the ground
    This fight is over, hear the bell ringing out
    At the end of the final round

    And you knock me down
    Cut me with a stare
    You patch me up
    Now it's my turn

    What is this thing called love that you speak?
    We're out of it, we're out of it 
    What is this thing called love that you speak?
    Cause we're out of it, we're out of it [x2]

    Cote R
    I had this weird feeling after listening to a Wonderful Life cover made by editors. A song in the middle of the silence of the memories deep inside of my head, a rude mute sound waiting to scream again. After a few hours trying to remember and watching videos all over the web i found it. The song is fresh inside of my brain once again, but i still can't remember if i loved (or stopped loving) someone with this lyrics as incidental music

  30. B.... M....

    Completamente hermosa! 😍

  31. F.... W....

    J'aime bien mais je suis plus fan de la reprise de Indochine elle est beaucoup plus émotionnel enfin pour moi.
    Tout les chansons on un vécu et j'ai un vécu avec la reprise de Indochine.
    Cependant l'original et plutôt bonne ☺

  32. S.... i....

    Hermosa

  33. A.... P....

    Ivano De Matteo brought me here

  34. h.... g....

    porque indochina le cambia el nombre a esta cancion y le pone lovers la cancion es de editors alguien tiene informacion

  35. T.... Z....

    no me canso de escuchar esta canción es de mis preferidas

  36. L.... C....

    Que hermosa suena muy bien

  37. D.... Y....

    This band are sooo good

  38. D.... F....

  40. R.... S....

    I heard this on reylo playlist and its super fucking fitting

  41. G.... K....

    I like le rythme

  42. P.... C....

    This is probably one of the most beautiful songs ever

    P.... C....

    Porge Callagha

  43. m.... b....

    Preeedobro!!!

    m.... b....

    Bravo Srpkinjo!!!!

  44. A.... G....

    masterpeace, yeahhh

  45. R.... H....

    Love it. He sounds much like Vince McMorrow and he also looks like him! Haha

    R.... H....

    Wow. He actually does.

  46. T.... d....

    very beautiful!!!!

  47. G.... G....

    Ten utwor nie przestaje mnie poruszac !!!!

  48. S.... ....

    <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

  49. V.... ....

    Touching

  50. O.... Y....

    so beautiful

  51. A.... ....

    Really like this song. I am not an espert, but the beginning reminds me of Anthony and the Johnsons , the ending part reminds me of Coldplay.

  52. d.... j....

    me encanto!!!

  53. c.... ....

    Editors are not the same without Urbanowicz. Meh

    c.... ....

    yes we know, but what we can do? Tom Smith still being handsome and have the voice of Editors ...

    c.... ....

    Such a big nonsense!!! He's not there for a reason. Tom is so happy with Justin and Elliott. If you are a fan you should be proud of what they have become. I'm in love with everything they've released since then. If you don't feel the same, go seek another band. They are superb right now.

  54. G.... ....

    MASTERPIECE.

  55. B.... R....

    Beautiful song, By far the best song off the new album.

  56. A.... F....

    Home and Away brought me here :)

  57. S.... _....

    Questo album l'ho amato. Correndo in litoranea, saucony al piede, auricolare, editors, rallentare per far finire le canzoni.

  58. T.... Z....

    La mejor banda del mundo.

  59. I.... N....

    Never heard his falsetto before

  60. N.... Q....

    I'm in love with this song!

  61. M.... S....

    What's this? oh crap... well, maybe not a bad song, but I was searching for the famous jazz standard (you know, the famous Cole Porter's song). Guess world's out of new song titles.

  62. L.... S....

    When songs are the soundtrack of a certain moment, this one couldn't be more perfect to describe one of that moments, especially when you've loved with all of your own and everything disappeared. I've been listening to editors the last two weeks in my car and i'm really enjoying everything in their music. Thank you guys!!!

  63. A.... ....

    Such good song! :'D

  64. m.... ....

    Man, another lame-Editors-track. So corny. Now I start to understand why Urbanowicz left.

  65. P.... ....

    I will cut my veins now!

  66. f.... b....

    quel joli attrape mouche ........................... 

  67. A.... ....

    This is beautiful! Heard it on home and away! Amazing

  68. s.... b....

    Excelent job, music and video. deep art! I love it!!

  69. s.... ....

    SUUUUUUUUPEEEEER!!!! Repeat,repeat,repeat.....

  70. S.... P....

    Fantastis song just love it

  71. F.... C....

    Oh c'mon.. serously, I'm huge fan of editors I can say, but this song.. this is just wrong and shouldn't exist o_O Thank god they don't play it live..

  72. r.... ....

    I wonder which x-factor contestant this was originally written for? . 

    r.... ....

    Harsh but most likely true, apparently tom smith admitted it in an interview for radio station 

    r.... ....

    @robertgreally This song was written for Indochine (an Old french rock band, in activity since 1981). It was released on the Deluxe Edition of  their last album "Black City Parade" in 2013

    r.... ....

    @Dan Lenwar thanks for the heads up dan. I didn't know that. Still wondering how this made to album. 

    r.... ....

    No, Tom Smith wrote this song, but "The Lovers" by Indochine is a nice song too.

  73. R.... A....

    The best Editors' song so far

  74. M.... A....

    MISSING a few seconds, they are the most beautiful seconds of the song. It is not corret !!!

  75. M.... R....

    Yeah, it's nice but my favorite always will be Papillon <3

    M.... R....

    Top choice

  76. H.... T....

    this song will be my wedding song

  77. O.... M....

    I'm going to add this to my favorites. Oops, already there! :)

  78. D.... B....

    So beautifull!!

  79. D.... S....
