Peter Murphy - Eliza Lyrics






My sin is a decade long guest
Accepted as a norm
How promising the possibility
I am born to be myself

Now it is not to be denied
Worthy of this joy
How promising the possibility
You were made to be yourself

Eliza
Eliza free
Eliza
Eliza
Eliza free yourself
Eliza free yourself

The Gift of my unlimited intelligence,
I am unique
I'm a painter on the hearts of those I sing for
Pain is not a necessity
Neither is it God's will
The sense of truth

Eliza
Eliza free
Eliza
Eliza
Eliza free yourself
Eliza free yourself

Everyone now has a future
Nothing less would be a shame
Reaching for a closer union
War on war is nothing strange
She could never be subjected
Savage millions unfurl
She must take a peaceful moment
Eliza the Buddha girl

Eliza
Eliza free
Eliza
Eliza
Eliza free yourself
Eliza free yourself

    I can't believe that I'd never listened to Peter Murphy since Bauhaus. What have I been doing all these years? This is brilliant!!

  3. P.... C....

    People sometime ask, "Hey, which song is your favorite PM song?" Damn. That, to me, is like asking what kid you love the most or which episode of Star Trek OTS is your FAVORITE. But, right now, this very moment. Today? THIS IS MY MOST FAVORITE PETER MURPHY SONG.

  4. P.... C....

    I like to think this song is about me...Just thinking that makes me so very happy. :)

    Peter`s a great Artist. No doubts at all! What makes this work so outstanding is the collaboration of two genius spirits..as this album was produced by Martin " YOUTH " Glover from Killing Joke!

    I'm a huge fan of Murphy's, especially his solo work his first 3 albums.This song shows the power behind Count Murphy's haunted house baritone!
