Under blue moon I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms
Too late to beg you or cancel it
Though I know it must be the killing time
Unwillingly mine
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
In starlit nights I saw you
So cruelly you kissed me
Your lips a magic world
Your sky all hung with jewels
The killing moon
Will come too soon
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
Under blue moon I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms
Too late to beg you or cancel it
Though I know it must be the killing time
Unwillingly mine
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
You give yourself to him
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la
La la la la la
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
You give yourself to him
La la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
La la la la la
La la la la
La la la la la
La la la

| Sloggydog (UK) | Posted: Mar 25, 2013 - 09:07 I used to have a killing moon and now its just a saggy shameful impersonation of its former self. |
| DarceySuzanne (Columbus) | Posted: Feb 06, 2013 - 12:17 The beginning of this song gives me deep shivers...just the excitement and anticipation of it. I love the high piano notes....and what a great singer. |
| Lazarus (Bethany) | Posted: Feb 06, 2013 - 12:14 Everybody in my church loves this song... |
| Easyrider (Catania,Sicily,Italy) | Posted: Jan 06, 2013 - 03:59 Still sounds good today.... |

| VV | Posted: Dec 21, 2012 - 06:32 I don't think this is appropriate. Lyrics with "killing time"? C'mon... Silence the radio for a few moments out of respect instead of playing this song. |
| ktirko | Posted: Dec 21, 2012 - 06:31 Timing for this is poor, or at least in bad taste ..... 9:30 EST ... one week later |
| laozilover (Left of Chicago and up) | Posted: Dec 01, 2012 - 08:34 not ready to close to 10 but I just bumped it from an 8 to a 9. |
| iTuner | Posted: Nov 19, 2012 - 21:54 Had to check and make sure I had given this a 10. I had. What a great song that has lasted, it came from an epochal era of my life. |

| hayduke2 (Southampton, NY) | Posted: Oct 19, 2012 - 13:28 its the album cover that completes my brain's ride to Beckettville, looking like a wide-pants group doing Waiting for Godot do love them alot |
| DD rabbi_phil (beach) | Posted: Sep 21, 2012 - 13:48 always and consistently one of my 80's faves...along with fine young cannibals. |

It's a little bit harder and the guy isn't as good of a vocalist, but it's a really fun song. Damn, I love having a wife with good taste in music. This is one that she introduced me to. good cover but it reminded me of why pavement doesn't work for me, the voice |

It's probably the clangiest song there ever was, clang was something they were good at. This one requires many listens, though. You'll like it with repeated listens. Trust me. I know hearing a song more than once poses major issues for you though. If you, sirdroseph, don't like something the first listen, then you never give it another chance!!!! Really, you'd like this CD. This song sounds too jarring at first, I know. |
| Byronape ("post-capitalist wreckageville") | Posted: Jul 01, 2012 - 15:29 A great cover of this song by Pavement... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpnjuYhcH7U I'm not a huge Pavement fan, but sometimes they hit it out of the park like they did with this one.

| ziakut (Albeit In The Meantime) | Posted: Jun 15, 2012 - 11:48 The way U2 wanted to sound like, but just never could. Long live Echo. |
| lily34 (lexvegas) | Posted: Jun 15, 2012 - 11:46 just what i needed to hear! thanks! |
| Shaken_Bake (Mile High City-or is it just me?) | Posted: May 26, 2012 - 07:13 I like the Audi Vampire Party commercial - great use of this song!  |
| Imkirok (The Arctic Hinter Land) | Posted: May 18, 2012 - 08:54 Echo & the Bunnymen was one of the bands that turned me on to alternative music in the late 80s, early 90s. This song and album in particular really opened my eyes to a whole new genre. Still love it and appreciate their influence on pop music. |
| juanos (Somewhere between the US and Guatemala) | Posted: May 18, 2012 - 08:53 bill.. you're really killing it this morning!!!! just the kind of selection I need a day like this!!! |
| shakitten (Trying to get back into a good dream) | Posted: May 14, 2012 - 17:09 Donnie Darko forever! :) |

I guess I live in outer outer Mongolia too (as another listener replied to you) because today was my first time to ever hear this song. Felt kinda neutral about it. Weird though to see all the comments and have never EVER heard it before. Wonder where I was? |
| (former member) (hotel in Las Vegas) | Posted: Jan 20, 2012 - 09:28 marvelous... love it... |
| (former member) (hotel in Las Vegas) | Posted: Jan 12, 2012 - 10:43 soooo cool... love it... |

Hardly, one of the better bands (and songs) of the 80's. I was young then too, 4th decade, saw them twice live, this song stands the test to time, I think. |
