Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
I could see the city light
Wind was blowing, time stood still
Eagle flew out of the night
He was something to observe
Came in close, I heard a voice
Standing stretching every nerve
Had to listen had no choice
I did not believe the information
Just had to trust imagination
My heart going boom boom boom
Son, he said Grab your things
I've come to take you home
To keepin' silence I resigned
My friends would think I was a nut
Turning water into wine
Open doors would soon be shut
So I went from day to day
Although my life was in a rut
'Till I thought of what I'd say
Which connection I should cut
I was feeling part of the scenery
I walked right out of the machinery
My heart going boom boom boom
Hey he said Grab your things
I've come to take you home
When illusion spin her net
I'm never where I wanna be
And liberty she pirouette
When I think that I am free
Watched by empty silhouettes
Who close their eyes but still can see
No one taught them etiquette
I will show another me
Today I don't need a replacement
I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
My heart going boom boom boom
Hey I said You can keep my things
They've come to take me home

Erasure è un duo britannico di synth-pop formatosi a Londra nel 1985 da Vince Clarke (ex Depeche Mode) e Andy Bell. Conosciuti per il loro sound orecchiabile, melodie accattivanti e testi spesso introspettivi, Erasure ha ottenuto un enorme successo commerciale negli anni '90 con hit come "Sometimes", "A Little Respect" e "Love to Hate You". Il duo ha venduto oltre 25 milioni di dischi in tutto il mondo, conquistando la scena musicale britannica e internazionale. La loro musica è caratterizzata da sintetizzatori pulsanti, ritmi dance e una forte componente melodica. Andy Bell, con la sua voce distintiva e il suo carisma scenico, ha contribuito a rendere Erasure un'icona della cultura gay. Tra i loro album più importanti ricordiamo "The Innocents" (1988), "Wild!" (1991) e "Chorus" (1995). Erasure continua ad essere attivo oggi, pubblicando nuovi album e intraprendendo tour internazionali.
