C'mon, everybody, it's Erasureworm time!
:grr: :argh:

How can I explain
When there are few words I can choose
How can I explain
When words get broken

Do you remember
There was a time ahaha
When people on the street
Were walking hand in hand in hand
They used to talk about the weather
Making plans together
Days would last forever

Come to me, cover me, hold me
Together we’ll break these chains of love
Don’t give up, don’t give up
Together with me and my baby
Break the chains of love

Do you remember
Once upon a time ahaha
When there were open doors
An invitation to the world
We were falling in and out with lovers
Looking out for others
Our sisters and our brothers

Come to me, cover me, hold me
Together we’ll break these chains of love
Don’t give up, don’t give up
Together with me and my baby
Break the chains of love
Together we’ll break these chains of love

How can I explain
When there are few words I can choose
How can I explain
When words get broken

We used to talk about the weather
Making plans together
Days would last forever

Come to me, cover me, hold me
Together we’ll break these chains of love
Don’t give up, don’t give up
Together with me and my baby
Break the chains of love
Together we’ll break these chains of love

1. All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unneccesary
They can only do harm

3. Thanks....I can hear Andy Bell's voice right now.
And that's not a snarky thanks. I do like Erasure. Even though it could be thought of as....stereotypical.

5. I try to discover a little something to make me sweeter
Oh baby refrain from breaking my heart
I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
That you give me no reason why you make-a me work so hard
That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no soul
I hear you calling
Oh baby, please give a little respect to me

And if I should falter, would you open your arms out to me?
We can make love, not war, and be at peace in our hearts
I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
What religion or reason could drive a man to forsake his lover?
Don't you give me no
Don't you give me no
Don't you give me no
Don't you give me no soul
I hear you calling
Oh baby, please give a little respect to me

7. Bluuuuuuuu-uuuue Savaaaaaanah (blue savannah) :-)
I love this song...gorgeous melody and voice...

Blue savannah song
Oh it’s a blue savannah song
Somewhere ’cross the desert
Sometime in the early hour
In a restless world
On the open highways

My home is where the heart is
Sweet to surrender to you only
I send my love to you

Blue savannah song
Oh it’s a blue savannah song
Racing ’cross the desert
At a hundred miles an hour
To the orange side
Through the clouds and thunder

Home is where the heart is
Sweet to surrender to you only
I send my love to you

I’m on my way back
And your love will bring me home
I’m travelling fast
And your love will bring me home
Will I discover
That your love will bring me home?

Somewhere ’cross the desert
Sometime in the early hour
To the orange side
Through the clouds and thunder

My home is where the heart is
Sweet to surrender to you only
I send my love to you

10. Don't forget this classic ABBA cover
If you change your mind, I'm the first in line
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, and I'll be around
If you've got no place to go, when you're feeling down
If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test, if you let me try

Take a chance on me (Come on, give me a break will you?)
Take a chance on me

We can go dancing, we can go walking, as long as we're together (Together)
Listen to some music, maybe just talking, get to know you better (Better)
'Cos you know I've got
So much that I wanna do, when I dream I'm alone with you
It's magic
You wanted to leave me there, afraid of a love affair
But I think you know
That I can't let go

If you change your mind, I'm the first in line
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, and I'll be around
If you've got no place to go, if you're feeling down (Take a chance take a chance take a chance on me)
If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test, if you let me try

Take a chance on me (That's all I ask of you honey)
Take a chance on me

Oh you can take your time baby, I'm in no hurry, I know I'm gonna get you (Get you)
You don't wanna hurt me, baby don't worry, I ain't gonna let you (Let you)
Let me tell you now
My love is strong enough to last when things are rough
It's magic
You say that I waste my time but I can't get you off my mind
No I can't let go
'Cos I love you so

(Rap)

Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test, if you let me try (Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me)
If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test, if you let me try (Take a chance take a chance take a chance on me)

14. I loved the ABBA covers.
It was a match made in...well, a recording studio. :-)

That was great stuff.
