There's no more wishes in the well
No more dreams to sell
No time in the hourglass
There's no more lies for you to tell
Your heaven is your hell
You future dying in the past

Evergreen
Ever, ever, evergreen
Evergreen
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah

I know I'm never going to learn
Fingers fit to burn
You can't let the fire die
Keep the flame of your desire
Always rising higher
Aim for the stars and hit the sky

Evergreen
Ever, ever, evergreen
Evergreen
Ah, ah, ah

There's no more wishes in the well
No more dreams to sell
No time in the hourglass
There's no more lies for you to tell
Your heaven is your hell
You future dying in the past

Nice tune. 
And I miss seeing the occasional Citroën DS running around.

I love Echo. Their early stuff I really didn't care for. But their self titled LP from 1987 with songs like Lip's like Sugar and Bedbugs and Ballyhoo got me as a big fan. I have all their later stuff. And Ian put out some great solo albums back in the late 80's and early 90's.  A very consistent group of Liverpool musicians.

Not the Bunnies without Ian

here they dive into Grunge. 



they really do. reminiscent a bit of screaming trees but with a different vocalist. i think this suits them just fine.

I thought this was an obscure Morphine hit from the 1990s... but the lead singer is just a little high pitched.

Love The Bunnymen, unfortunately, this is far from their best stuff.  Would be great to hear some stuff from any of their early albums - Crocodiles, Porcupine, or their opus - Heaven Up Here!!!

I feel bad for the lead vocalist, it must have been really tough to remember all those complex lyrics. ;)

This isn't one of your finer picks Bill.

Always good to hear them!

Agreed.  I don't generally like Echo and the Bunnymen, but I like this one.

Great band and its too bad they never got more appreciated, they deserve it. We got U2 instead. . If you like this check out the "Heaven up here" Cd/Vinyl.

Weren't they originally an 80s band? I can't remember liking their earlier stuff, but I do like their new stuff.

Not quite classic Bunnymen...but very Screaming Trees, so I won't complain. I will always remember the grown men who performed with stuffed bunnies sat atop their giant Marshalls and Voxs....

War, children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away Likeable tune...I'm thinking I now know where Ian Brown and the Stone Roses got some inspiration. (hell, Liverpool...Manchester...not so far-fetched)

I've always liked "Make Me Shine" with its backwards guitar. Never heard this one, its cool.

Echo & The Bunnymen is one of those names I heard quite often during college, but never knew what they sounded like -- for some reason never became familiar with them or remember hearing them. Hearing this, I can't help but think what a shame.
