Lips Like Sugar by Echo and the Bunnymen

 She floats like a swan

Grace on the waterLips like sugarLips like sugar
Just when you think you've caught herShe glides across the waterShe calls for you tonightTo share this moonlight
You'll flow down her riverShe'll ask you and you'll give herLips like sugarSugar kissesLips like sugarSugar kisses
She knows what she knowsI know what she's thinkingSugar kissesSugar kisses
Just when you think she's yoursShe's flown to other shoresTo laugh at how you breakAnd melt into this lake
You'll flow down her riverBut you'll never give herLips like sugarSugar kissesLips like sugarSugar kisses
She'll be my mirrorReflect what I amLoser and winnerThe king of siam
And my siamese twinAlone on the riverMirror kissesMirror kisses
Lips like sugarSugar kissesLips like sugarSugar kisses
Lips like sugarSugar kissesLips like sugarSugar kisses
Lips like sugarSugar kissesLips like sugarSugar kisses

the lead singer's hair looks like it belongs on a muppet. it's very difficult to see when you have a planet over your face. this was demonstrated very accurately in this video. not sure what they were going for in this video. it's kinda all over the place. i like the name of this band. never had any of their albums. they do a good job of sounding exactly like they should for their era.

His hair also looks like the the first stage of the troll pencil toppers before you'd mess it up

These guys were always on 120 Minutes on MTV

They had a few good songs, but this was probably their biggest hit, at least in America - silly Brits

I remember whenever we went dancing on Alternative Night, these guys always had a song or two in the set

I thought Echo was a bat who had bunnies for friends
