Week Thirty-Three: Echo & The Bunnymen - "All My Life" - Echo & The Bunnymen

I love this song so much, but I wasn't exactly sure what to say about it --- plus, I still have to make it through 1.5 days of teaching before my Christmas Break officially begins, and I am fading fast!!! So I decided to "google" it and see what others had to say about it. Much to my pleasant surprise, I stumbled upon a fun little site called www.allmusic.com. On this site, they list adjectives describing the album mood. I delighted in the list they selected for this album because I feel that it accurately sums up this song, as well; so I will share it with you:

Oh how the times have changed us 

Sure and now uncertain 

Men not devils have claimed us 

Purity deserting 

God's one miracle 

lost in circles 

All my all my life
revolves around 

laughter and crying 

as my life turns 

round and round 

Cannon fire burning
on the hillside 

You and I are

side by side 

Listen 

Tin soldiers playing our tune 

All my all my life
revolves around 

laughter and crying 

as my life turns 

round and round and round 

Songs for life's lost lovers
bittersweet their healing 

Their prayers prayed under covers 

need not kneeling 

God's one miracle 

moves in circles 

All my all my life
revolves around 

laughter and crying 

as my life turns 

round and round 

All my all my life
revolves around 

laughter and crying 

as my life turns 

round and round 

and round 

and round
