Erasure - So The Story Goes Lyrics






I close my eyes
To the sound of the sky and I see
Birds in the trees in pastures green

Nothing to do
With the time or the place I perceive
The rush of the sea beneath my feet

Such a lovely world
Oh so magical
Precious like a pearl
Wrapped up in a shell
Build your house of stone
On a bed of sand
Time and tide will rise
Washing through your hands

Hear your heart
See the love
Feel the soul lift up
Hear your heart
See the love
Feel the soul lift up

I lift my eyes
To the sound in the sky and I hear it
A voice on the breeze is so serene

Nothing to do
With the time or the place but I feel it
Like dust on the moon beneath my feet

Such a lovely world
Oh so magical
So the story goes
Sing the madrigal
What a lovely world
Waxing lyrical
See the lies unfold
Hear the miracle

Hear your heart
See the love
Feel the soul lift up
Hear your heart
See the love
Feel the soul lift up

So the story goes...
The lies and the miracle unfold

(Precious miracle
Wrapped in a shell
Build your house of stone on the sand
Time and tide will wash through your hands
Feel the soul lift up
Hear your heart
See the love
Feel your soul lift up

I lift my eyes to the sound of the sky and I hear it
A voice on the breeze
So serene)

Erasure So The Story Goes Comments
  1. V.... ....

    almost ten years post

  2. J.... R....

    Reminds me of the 90's and my older brother sneaking out of bed to play Zelda on the Nintendo late at night.

  3. F.... P....

    erasure&choir of St.Patrick,s cathedral,super¡

  4. C.... D....

    Andy is incredible

  5. l.... f....

    beautiful

  6. V.... D....

    Simplemente épica

  7. E.... ....

    Love the bass synth , and the choral work is...sublime. The ending, amazing.

  8. s.... ....

    One of the most disturbing yet hauntingly beautiful endings to any song i've heard.

  9. j.... c....

    good album , lots of good songs , lots of memories

  10. C.... B....

    lovely illustrations

  11. J.... V....

    muito bom .... fa´ do erasure!!!

  12. d.... ....

    I could listen to the Self Titled and I Say I Say I Say album, and nothing else, forever.. and be totally okay with that. I love everything they do pretty much, but that is my fave time period.

    d.... ....

    The follow up is NOT the album produced by FrankMusik, it was an album called "Light At The End Of The World", which you might want to check out because it is classic Erasure.

    d.... ....

    @Adam Grossman I actually like that album pretty well. Fun short pop tunes. I prefer that form on "Cowboy", I think the song were more solid, but I still regard Light at "The End of the World" as a fab album, for sure.

    d.... ....

    Like many others... Chorus (second to none), I say I say I say (I loved both almost immediately), Erasure (some songs took time) and then... Nightbird.

    d.... ....

    Exquisite taste.

    d.... ....

    @Adam Lewis Yes, _Light at the End of the World_ was the followup to _Nightbird_ (if we skip _Union Street_ as a special project rather than a regular album), and they're both fantastic. What's kind of shocking is that they were both made with software synths since Vince's studio and collection of hardware synths wasn't easily accessible to him at the time, but they still sound like classic Erasure. Well, I can hear a certain general, fundamental difference and agree with Vince's preference for his hardware synths, but they don't sound bad at all in this regard (or any other).

    _Light at the End of the World_ was produced by Gareth Jones (who should be familiar to Erasure/Mute/Depeche Mode fans), but _Nightbird_ was actually self-produced by Vince and Andy, demonstrating how good the band themselves are at every step of the process of making music (Vince undoubtedly was the music and overall producer, with Andy producing his own vocals).

  13. D.... ....

    PRECIOSA CACION QUE LE DEDICO A MI MADRE
    Y QUE FUE LA ULTIMA QUE LA CANTE ANTES DE CAER ENFERMA AHORA YA NO PUEDO
    CANTARLA MAS, 13-4-14 SIEMPRE TE QUERRE MI VIDA.

    GRACIAS ERASURE POR HACER ALGO TAN BONITO Y SENTIDO

    The mixture of electronic pop, Andy's voice, and the choral work delivers a quite stunningly beautiful song. 3:35 to the end is especially intense.

  36. T.... C....

    One of the most particular Erasure song's ever running along with fantastic paintings. Another Agnes' example for the good taste :)
    Thanks for your time and for sharing it!

  37. V.... v....

    I meant that Lyric. Wikia. com has all Erasure songs and their lyrics

  38. V.... v....

    I don't see any comment in the video, some of the lyrics at the end is all. Any way, all the songs are lyrics are there, so it would be nice for people to have it will the other info anyway.

  39. V.... v....

    wouldn't it be simpler to post the link to lyric. wikia. com ?? rather than take up all that space?

  40. M.... C....

    greatness..andy bell at his best ...wow
