Lyrics
Resuscitate
In my sleep Awake to see You're never here
And the losing yields Another year Facing hopes and fears
And I wish I could believe there was more Hope suffocating You've kissed my life
And the planes and trains Are to blame For tempting us To refrain And to cut the chord Dis every word Of the truths absurd and I wish I could believe there was more Hope suffocating And you've kissed my life
And I wish I could believe there was more Hope suffocating Hope suffocating Hope suffocating And you've kissed my life
Different take lyrics
The following lyrics were used when the 'different take' version was sung at a BBC session in 1999. Note that they include lyrics reused from the demo version of Sunburn that was not included in Showbiz, but were dropped from the studio recording of Recess.
Resuscitate
In my sleep Awake to see You're never here And the losing yields Another year Facing hopes and fears
And the trains and planes Are to blame For tempting us To refrain And to cut the chord Dis every word Of the truths absurd and I wish I could believe there was more Hope suffocating And you've kissed my life
Let the truth be heard Life just carries on When you're dead and gone When you're dead and gone Life just carries on Let the truth be known
And I wish I could believe there was more Hope suffocating And you've kissed my life
Hope suffocating Hope suffocating Hope suffocating And you've kissed my life
