Erasure - World Be Gone Lyrics
Before we ever seize the day
The calming of the season's end
Life becomes a hidden play
Imparted with a furtive glance
Was it everything you'd dreamed it'd be
World be gone
Or are you filled with loving
The way that you promised us
Long ago
And will it tie us to the mast of our souls
As in ancient lore
And as I saw you standing there
Holding your head in your hands
Silver linings in the leaden sky
One day we'll return again
And surely we will make amends
Consequences never seen
Broken shadows on an empty screen
World be gone
Or are you filled with loving
The way that you promised us
Long ago
And will it tie us to the mast of our souls
As in ancient lore
And as I saw you standing there
Holding your head in your hands
World be gone
Or are you filled with loving
The way that you promised us
Long ago
And will it tie us to the mast of our souls
As in ancient lore
And as I saw you standing there
Holding your head in your hands

Bucket list....Saw Depeche Mode last Year and seeing Erasure this MONTH!!! OMG!
gracias erasure son el soundtrack de mi vida
Admiro mucho Erasure...pero este disco es muy flojo...voy a esperar el proximo
I wanna kiss you baby (8) ❤❤❤❤
Over a year has gone by and I still think this is the best song Erasure have ever made.
Best British. Duo .
I'm looking forward to the show in Brazil in May 2018. I love Erasure😍😍😍😍😍
yes I love the song
Very very good!!
Like it or not this IS the current Erasure, techno sound. They're not in their 20's anymore. Good album.
i love this MANS VOICE ANYTHING HE SINGS HE CAN DO IT
erasure will come in mexico
Not impressive...
I was hoping to see the boys on this vid..
Their sound & beat have mellowed a bit with age, but I still love them from here to the "Sky"...<3
Thank you Vince, thank you Andy!
...and this is the a best song from the Erasure Duo discografy...!!!
Brand New song and this is a brand new sound for the Erasure, but is more cool song from the Erery Electro-Beat Duo carrier.!!Thanks Andy and Vince...!!!Breat Song
I #
love this song!
cool !!!
🙂
This Song is Awesome I hear it up and down
This song and "Just a Little Love" are my favorites on the new album. The extra song in the Japanese release "Nothing I could say" and "I Need You Now" really should have been on it. It's almost a crime that they weren't.
another brilliant track from andy bell vince clark you are a master of mixing brilliant tracks welcom back
a ver cuando vienen otravez a mexico estoy dispuesto ir otravez hasta cd. de mexico
ya se habian tardado erasure en sacar su musica
Siguen coleándo 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆💪😘
Erasure with great songs again😀 They are amazing
I hated the tribal drum track with the super-pop chorus in this song until I listened to it a half a dozen times. It was then I realised it's VERY Erasure. It's the beauty of the melody against the angst of the percussion that makes this exactly what I love about Vince and Andy. Maybe not my choice as a "First Single" - that's up to the record label - but having bought and thoroughly delved into the new album I know it's something you can't just casually listen to. You have to listen to the words. "World Be Gone" is poetically an incredibly deep album.
Welcome Back...Nice Song!!!
FANTASTIC !!!
Great song!
awesome
I love erasure to pieces, but I'm not feeling this album so far...
Great song Erasure!!!!!!
Very dull. Those double entendres tho. O.o
recently heard this song in Wales on BBC2, hasn't been out of my head after......
Could have had potential but they're just phoning it in at this point.
Rad visuals
When are y'all gonna tour and come to Houston?
This song is magical. I love the combination of techno and romanticism. The best song of the album World Be Gone.
Without knowing the author, would say that who created the little respect would create this in 5 minutes. Sorry for the language because I do not speak English.
I want to hear this LIVE!!!
only good song of the new album. It's got gusto
Love it
Fantastic! Erasure on four cylinders!
***I Got it it's Gwen Steffani of NO Doubt band song "The Sweet Escape"*** chorus is from her song!
..........the tune is from another song by a female simger but I can't remember who?
Gwen steffani Sweet
Erasure are like on time warp but I love it!
love the new song yay😀😀😆
same shit he was doing in the 80's sorry
Erasure is as brilliant as ever!!!!!!!
drums!!!!!!
Still incredible music after such a long break. Compared to all the generic money making shite that fills the charts today it's nice to hear acts stickin to their guns and producing music that is still as intoxicating as it was in the 80s. Drum machine, a few synths and an inspirational vocalist is all it takes. Best, most emotive tune I've heard for a long time. Respect erasure !!
I miss the ERASURE 80's
Vince Clarke a encore bien assuré sur le plan de la composition. Des synthés analogiques comme d'hab. Andy Bell assure au niveau des voix. Très belle chanson.

C'est dommage : ce groupe Facebook permet aux fans français et francophones d'être en contact et de commenter l'actualité Erasuresque, compensant ainsi quelque peu l'absence médiatique d'ERASURE en France... C'est quasiment un forum de discussion à l'ancienne !

How can I get the lyrics?
The end of the chorus reminds me so much of The Sweet Escape by Gwen Stefani.
I do like the verse though.
ilysvengeance yes ,I thought it was a remix of Gwen Stefani's song when I first heard it .
it's erasure.
The chorus is so teeny bopper sappy yikes
Please come to Madrid! 🎉 🎹 🎶 🗣 🎙
Miss the old days when erasure wrote some great melodies. Now all we get are cheap pop songs.
What a thought! Maybe recreate Yazoo. I'm sure Alison would go for it.
Did you like "Snow Globe" ?
I think it was their best effort since "Nightbird"
Snow Globe falls into the category of disappointing but still decent. Thinking back to their upbeat, whimsical sounding albums like Cowboy and I Say x3, I think they could have made an amazing Christmas Album. But Snow Globe had such a stripped down, dismal tone, it was not the Christmas joy I expected. But even still, there were some good songs on it so unlike everything else since Nightbird, at least it's worth listening to.
Last album I liked by them was Cowboy. And it was clear even then they were moving in the wrong direction.
I seem to be the only person to feel this way, but I thought Loveboat was a great album. I loved its weird sound and quirky beats.
erasure great synth/pop duo,Greets from Poland ;)
Heard this on radio 2 it's a great tune! Great to hear a new tune from Erasure!
Great catchy song ruined by Compression (I bailed out at
1min 42secs). It really is about time that the Music Industry (namely Music Execs and
Mastering Engineers) stop over compressing music to make it sound louder perceptively.
Sadly this song will probably be forgotten by the end of the year because of this but we
will all still be singing 'A Little Respect' for another 20 years and beyond.
as soon as he starts singing you know who it is....😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
awesome song....Erasure forever
I think it´s time Vince should write lyrics for the next records instead of Andy. He wrote great and deep lyrics for Depeche Mode´s Speak and Spell, much better than this horny teeny crap type of lyrics :-D
absolutely love this song. my boyfriend linked it to me last night. he is such a romantic
Love it! :D WB ERASURE! Love Ya!
this is the best tune erasure done for a long time.
Suena muy bien!!!
It sounds awesome on my surround sound system with the volume turned all the way up!
дуже люблю гурт erasure
It's cool hippy music 👍love it
I think this a rather brilliant 💕
Yet again Erasure come back with a great song. Loving the slightly changed sound will be interesting to see what the album is like
As long as its not tomorows world I will be happy. The production was terrible.
what the heck this an erasure song comment about this not about Depeche , you dont like DM dont talk about them talk about erasure, or you all are gelous about tha fact that DM sells more even if they are not so comercial as erasure . Enjoy the fuking music and shut up. I like the song anyway. And SPIRIT even more
This is my first listen. The chorus reminds of Moon & The Sky - single version with the chorus - for obvious reasons...
amazing song
Heard this on the radio and felt an urge to comment on just how terrible this song is. The lyrics sounds like something written by a couple of 11 year old girls writing spoof love song.
I'm loving this song. It has the Erasure distinctive sound.
im a erasure fan from my youth but this is such a boooring song pfffff
just got into erasure, found out they released a new song, disapoint
i honestly love the drums in this song.
but ...
i still remember the old days when i had to listen to some erasure songs a couple of times until i got familiar with its melody structure. complex they were, changing harmonics where you wouldn't quite expect it, suddenly tossing in another melody like from another song. sometimes that didn't seem to make sense at first, but when i finally got the song into my system i couldn't get it out of my head for days. the cleverly interwoven little synth lines in the background, the playful coloring of the sounds that ... all that made me want to hear the songs over and over again, discovering all of vince's magical beauty.
now it's enough to listen to the first line of a song and you can safely guess what follows. repeat, shift, repeat, shift. an alteration of that as the hook line, perhaps a bridge up, and the usual short interlude. nothing is surprising anymore. it almost kills the songs i really love, hearing those cheap knock-offs.
the lyrics became also interchangeable. love, love, love. i got used to them rarely making any sense at all and sounding like a teenager girl's pubertal writings, desperate to sound mysterious. should the next album be also called 'whatever with WORLD' in it and one more song rhymes 'saturday night' on 'all right', i'm sure it's andy's experiment to test out the die-hard fan's ultimate vomit border. i used to sing along with every erasure album for decades, but now i'd just be ashamed to do so.
i still gave it a thumbs up and hope there are songs with much more substance, innovation and depths on the album.
it's like their old stuff. so brilliant
Cadê you?
strong tune!
