Echo & the Bunnymen
The Cutter (Alternate)
[Intro]
Cutter
Cutter
Cutter
[Verse 1]
Who's on the seventh floor?
Brewing alternatives
What's in the bottom drawer?
Waiting for things to give
[Pre-Chorus]
Spare us the cutter
Spare us the cutter
Couldn't cut the
Mustard
[Chorus]
Conquering myself until
I see another hurdle approaching
Say we can, say we will
Not just another drop in the ocean
[Verse 2]
Come to the free for all
With Sellotape and knives
Some of us six feet tall
We will escape our lies
[Pre-Chorus]
Spare us the cutter
Spare us the cutter
Couldn't cut the
M-m-mustard
[Chorus]
Conquering myself until
I see another hurdle approaching
Say we can, say we will
Not just another drop in the ocean
[Bridge]
Am I the happy loss?
Will I still recoil
When the skin is lost?
Am I the worthy cross?
Will I still be soiled
When the dirt is off?
[Chorus]
Conquering myself until
I see another hurdle approaching
Say we can, say we will
Not just another drop in the ocean
Ocean
[Post-Chorus]
Watch the fingers close
When the hands are cold
Watch the fingers close
When the hands are cold
[Refrain]
Am I the happy loss?
Will I still recoil
When the skin is lost?
Am I the worthy cross?
Will I still be soiled
When the dirt is off?
[Outro]
Am I the happy loss?
Will I still be soiled
When the dirt is off?
