Erasure
If I Could (Live) [Brighton Dome, Brighton, UK - 1987/04/17]
[Pre-Intro: Andy Bell]
Now it's time for you to shut your mouths and for us all to cool down a little
[Intro: Derek Smith & Steve Myers]
Make the world a little better
[Verse 1: Andy Bell, Derek Smith & Steve Myers]
I don't believe you know
What you're talking 'bout
I don't believe you'd go
And ever find out for yourself
Always got a lot to say
But I'm not listening anyway
I'm not listening anyway
[Chorus: Andy Bell, (Derek Smith & Steve Myers)]
If I could (Make the world a little better)
You know I would (Make the world a little better)
If I could (Make the world a little better)
[Verse 2: Andy Bell, Derek Smith & Steve Myers]
I don't believe you care
About the consequences
I don't bеlieve you share
In what you know wе know is true
Turning keys and locking doors
I won't accept that anymore
Won't accept that anymore
[Chorus: Andy Bell, (Derek Smith & Steve Myers)]
If I could (Make the world a little better)
You know I would (Make the world a little better)
If I could (Make the world a little better)
[Interlude]
[Verse 3: Andy Bell, Derek Smith & Steve Myers]
I don't believe you know
About the hearts you've broken
I don't believe you show
What your intentions really are
Can you hear?
What have you done?
There's not enough for everyone
Not enough for anyone
[Chorus: Andy Bell, (Derek Smith & Steve Myers)]
If I could (Make the world a little better)
You know I would (Make the world a little better)
If I could (Make the world a little better)
[Chorus: Andy Bell, (Derek Smith & Steve Myers)]
If I could (Make the world a little better)
You know I would (Make the world a little better)
If I could (Make the world a little better)
[Coda: Derek Smith & Steve Myers]
If I could, you know, I would
If I could, you know, I would
If I could, ooh, ooh
[Outro: Andy Bell]
Merci, Bocu!
