Erasure
Joan (Live) [Manchester, Apollo, UK - 1992/08/06]
[Verse 1: Andy Bell, Annick Clarisse & Veronique Clarisse]
Power generation
You live up your life and it feels like fire
Suspended in animation
A trick of the light and it drives you higher
[Pre-Chorus 1: Andy Bell, Annick Clarisse & Veronique Clarisse]
Blind vision blind faith
You really can be sold
If you dare to disagree
[Chorus: Andy Bell, (Annick Clarisse & Veronique Clarisse)]
It's just not within the scheme of things
To give up your life so easily
That's not the way you're meant to be
What a waste of time and energy
(Live your life)
(I'll be there)
Easily
[Verse 2: Andy Bell, Annick Clarisse & Veronique Clarisse]
Psychic celebration
Look up in the stars and see Venus rising
Rapture, fascination (Rapture)
You live for the night and your own dеsire
[Pre-Chorus 2: Andy Bell, Annick Clarisse & Veronique Clarisse]
Blind vision blind faith
You really can't rely
On what thеy tell you for effect
[Chorus: Andy Bell, (Annick Clarisse & Veronique Clarisse)]
It's not just within the scheme of things (Live your life)
To give up your life so easily
That's not the way you're meant to be (I do care)
What a waste of time and energy
It's just not within the scheme of things (Live your life)
To give up your life so easily
That's not the way you're meant to be (I'll be there)
What a waste of time and energy, energy
[Interlude: Andy Bell]
[Pre-Chorus 1: Andy Bell, Annick Clarisse & Veronique Clarisse]
Blind vision blind faith
You really can be sold
If you dare to disagree
[Chorus: Andy Bell, (Annick Clarisse & Veronique Clarisse)]
It's not just within the scheme of things (Live your life)
To give up your life so easily
That's not the way you're meant to be (I do care)
What a waste of time and energy
It's just not within the scheme of things (Live your life)
To give up your life so easily
That's not the way you're meant to be (I'll be there)
What a waste of time and energy, energy
[Coda: Andy Bell]
Easy, easy, easy
Energy
Easy
Easy, easy
