Lyrics:
She floats like a swan, grace on the water
Lips like sugar, lips like sugar
Just when you think you've caught her, she glides across the water
She calls for you tonight to share the moonlight
You'll flow in her river
She'll ask you and you'll give her
Lips like sugar, sugar kisses
Lips like sugar, sugar kisses
She knows what she knows,
I know what she's thinking
Sugar kisses, soar kisses
Just when you think she's yours, she's flown to other shores
To laugh at how you break and melt into her lake
You'll flow in her river
She'll ask you and you'll give her
Lips like sugar, sugar kisses
Lips like sugar, sugar kisses
She'll be my mirror, reflect what I am
A loser and a winner the king of
Siam I am and my Siamese twin
Alone on the river
Amazing river, amazing river
Lips like sugar, sugar kisses
Lips like sugar, sugar kisses
Lips like sugar, sugar kisses
Lips like sug-sug-sugar, sugar kisses

I’m my personal opinion this is top 10 greatest songs ever written. When this song comes on the whole neighborhood hears it

[@ladyhecate9450]

That is the only way to play music.....loud.

[@TheUpwardbound1]

How many people here glad we grew up in the 80's!?!

[@LynneNeil]

I wish it still was the 80's

[@lettermaniac1]

Man, the 80s new wave bands are timeless music of our lifetime. Echo & The Bunnymen represents that era and the many British artist that made the 80s a glorious era of the British invasion. I grew up listening to new wave in the 80s and they never fade away. This is my band, my music, and my era.

[@ianmackenzie686]

Better than the "classic rock" boomer crap forced on us for decades.

[@malibubarbie5349]

I'm 65...My blood disease may have destroyed my body but my lips are still, "like sugar"...Thanks for the memories...Best song ever...

[@jaygabbard6083]

Mac's voice is gold here

[@LostinMIA]

1987 was the best year of my teenage life. I went out with this super cute blonde valley girl in OC Cali and she loved this band. She ended up leaving her cassette in my car too.

[@wanderingspirit7021]

A truly GREAT rock band. They don't make them like this anymore, do they?

[@bernadettesmith6649]

Echo (Ian) looks really good. The 80s had the best music!

[@nickbaldwin1668]

Echo was a drum machine,that Mac got in the early days, the instructions said “welcome to your new Echo Drum Machine “so I read somewhere 😃

[@Piertides]

I’ve been listening to this song, seeing it live since 83/84 and it is still never long enough ❤

[@milesian1]

Mac sounds great here, and quite inspired in spite of the dead audience.

[@claytonvernon8793]

Agree- tremendous performance, and including the vocals.

[@wildernesswithamani1027]

Great band with so many awesome songs. Watching this brings me back to my high school days. Echo's music is a welcome companion when I'm driving through the mountains on the way to adventure.

Love this song 💞. The 80's had the best music 🎵🎶.

[@dryter]

How can one song have so many hooks that just grab you? I was in grad school when this album came out. I still have the CD. One note--the chime harmonic--and it all comes back.

[@andygretz]

The greatest lyricist of modern times.

[@WilliamHBaird-eq2hp]

Saw them two nights ago in Montreal (Sept 2022) AMAZING! This was the encore! Ian on Vocal, and Will on Guitar, is Heven sent

Mr. Echo and the time traveling bunnies.

How the he'll isthe guitar playing like that? It litrally sounds the same as the record. Mad props to the the guitar player. Songs sounds great.

[@davestrain9529]

Will Sergeant.Legend.

[@soepil]

Agree. Sergeant does not play the standard rock riffs - he's more about interesting melodies and sounds. A big inspiration to me and many others. :)

[@ladyhecate9450]

Oh I love this song and they do it great. Those were the days when music was great!

[@soulerflare7]

You need to listen to " the killing moon " and " the cutter " to name a couple that are better than this song . They have tons of good music .

[@ladyhecate9450]

@@soulerflare7 I took your suggestion and listened to both songs. I simply love that "sound" that was so popular back then. I listen to a lot of music on 1st Wave and have heard The Killing Moon. I love The Cure and David Bowie as well. I also like channels such as Deep Tracks and Classic Vinyl to catch me some Clapton music as well as Hendrix. Thanks for turning me on to more of Echo and the Bunnymen. Happy New Year.

[@soulerflare7]

@@ladyhecate9450 oh great , you're welcome . I like Bowie and the cure . Never got to see Bowie though.

Really good to see and hear these guys again. Ian Mcculloch is the Only singer for this band, IMO. :) Good going and best wishes to them on their latest release.
