Erasure - Perfect Stranger Lyrics






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

    What a fantastic honest summary of what is true for those who feel too much, with those who feel less. Neither is wrong, yet through times of your development if your do reach different epochs with emotions and yet you dont necessarily grow up, grow old or move on...

  6. B.... A....

    The intro with that fat base kickin' in still gives me goose bumps even today... a truly amazing sound from E-r-a-s-u-r-e! :) It's funny how I can still sing along just about any of their older songs, but not so much to their newer ones after Cowboy.

  7. C.... ....

    PEEFECT SONG ! 🤘🏼
    2019 and more to come 👍

  8. L.... G....
