Erasure
Oh L’Amour (Live) [Brighton Dome, Brighton, UK - 1987/04/17]
[Pre-Intro: Andy Bell]
Before, before we do the next number I've, um...
I've told you about that before, don't keep making that noise when I go near those speakers, alright?!
I'll say hello to each and every one of you
Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello
Hi
Hello, hello, hello, hello
There are many kinds of love
The next song is about one kind and it is called Oh L'Amour-r-r-r-r-r
[Intro: Andy Bell, (Derek Smith & Steve Myers)]
Oh l'amour (Oh l'amour)
Broke my heart
Now I'm aching for you
Mon amour (Mon amour)
What's a boy in love
Supposed to do
[Verse 1: Andy Bell]
Looking for you
You were looking for me
Always reaching for you
You were too blind to see
Oh love of my heart
Why leave me alone
I'm falling apart
No good on my own
[Chorus: Andy Bell, Derek Smith & Steve Myers]
Oh l'amour
Broke my heart
Now I'm aching for you
Mon amour
What's a boy in love
Supposed to do
[Verse 2: Andy Bell]
Why throw it away
Why walk out on me
I just live for the day
For the way it should be
There once was a time
Had you here by my side
You said I wasn't your kind
Only here for the ride
[Chorus: Andy Bell, Derek Smith & Steve Myers]
Oh l'amour
Broke my heart
Now I'm aching for you
Mon amour
What's a boy in love
Supposed to do
[Interlude: Andy Bell, Derek Smith & Steve Myers]

But my favourite, favourite one of all, mister Vincent Clarke!
[Verse 3: Andy Bell]
No emotional ties
You don't remember my name
I lay down and die
I'm only to blame
Oh, love of my heart
It's up to you now
You tore me apart
I hurt inside-out
[Chorus: Andy Bell, Derek Smith & Steve Myers, (Vince Clarke)]
Oh l'amour (The man with the magic voice, mister Andrew Bell!)
Broke my heart
Now I'm aching for you
Mon amour
What's a boy in love
Supposed to do
[Chorus: Andy Bell, Derek Smith & Steve Myers]
Oh l'amour
Broke my heart
Now I'm aching for you
Mon amour
What's a boy in love
Supposed to do
Oh l'amour
[Outro: Andy Bell]
