lyrics

here we come - sinking souls in the midnight sun
i know what is going on
can you give me a word - a cause so i can carry on
here we come - drowning boats in the ocean’s scum
i fear what we are heading for – what’s to come
can you give me a word - direction –
so i won’t get it wrong

uncertain times - i cannot choose
what about freedom – all I see is loneliness
sitting in the waiting room waiting for my number
sitting by the telephone waiting for an answer

uncertain times - i cannot listen
there is a box around my head - i cannot listen
sitting in the waiting room waiting for my number
sitting by the telephone waiting for an answer
an answer an answer

here we come - two exhausted good old chums
believe me we could have been as one as one
can you - can you give me a word - a rescue - so i won’t be alone

uncertain times - what about my friends
where are they going - now we are all grown up
sitting in the waiting room waiting for my number
sitting by the telephone waiting for an answer

uncertain times- i cannot reach you
there is a gap between us – i cannot touch you
sitting in the waiting room waiting for my number
sitting by the telephone waiting for an answer

here we come – sinking souls in the midnight sun

The Electric Era Auckland, New Zealand

The Electric Era is a three-piece indie band from Auckland, New Zealand. Their self-proclaimed Antipodean Anti-gloss Pop has been compared to seminal New Zealand bands such as The Clean, The Chills and The Verlaines, as well as English acts The Smiths and The Cure. They also claim David Bowie, Joy Division, Wire and Magazine as their sonic godfathers.
