Week Thirty-Three: Echo & The Bunnymen - "All Because of You Days" - Siberia

I am somewhat embarrassed to admit this, but I did not hear this wonderful Echo & The Bunnymen masterpiece until just a few years ago when it appeared on my Pandora station. I never bothered to purchase the 2005 release of Siberia because I just wasn't sure that I would even like it, and I already possessed all of my tried and true Echo & The Bunnymen treasures. Therefore, it didn't phase me much to pass on that one. 

However, as this song queued up and began playing on Pandora, I remember thinking to myself, "Who in the world is this fabulous band?" Lo and behold, it was my boys from, none other than, Echo & The Bunnymen.  That'll teach me to doubt true genius-like talent in the future!!!



I don't want to run
I don't want to hide
I just want to kiss goodnight
Say goodnight one more time


Nothing gets you up
Nothing gets you high
Everything just comes to this
Final mis-taken lives


And it's goodbye, goodbye all my new days
Goodbye, all because of you days
Goodbye


You just can't get out
You just can't get in
Everything has strung you up, hung you up
To watch you swing


One of us is you
And one of us is me
Broken frozen equal parts
Broken hearts breaking free


And it's goodbye, goodbye all my new days
Goodbye, all those chosen few days
Goodbye


Baby maybe someday
Maybe one day
We'll say hi


I don't want to run
I don't want to hide
I just want to kiss goodnight
Say goodnight one last time


Nothing gets you up
Nothing gets me high
Everything just comes to this
Final mis-taken lives
One last time


It's goodbye, goodbye all my new days
Goodbye, all because of you days
Goodbye


And it's goodbye, goodbye all my new days
Goodbye, all those chosen few days
New days


Baby maybe someday
Maybe one day
We'll say hi
Baby maybe sometime
Maybe next time
We'll say hi
Baby maybe someday
Maybe one day
We'll say hi
Baby maybe sometime
Maybe next time
We'll say hi


Baby maybe sometime
Maybe next time
We'll say hi
We'll say hi
We'll say hi


Baby maybe someday
Maybe one day
We'll say hi
