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 this moonlight
You'll flow down her river
She'll ask 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
Sugar kisses
Just when you think she's yours
She's flown to other shores
To laugh at how you break
And melt into this lake
You'll flow down her river
But you'll never 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
And my Siamese twin
Alone on the river
Mirror kisses
Mirror kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
The 12 inch remix. Sometimes, just because you can, it doesn't mean that you should.
To be fair I like the 'original' version more, this one s a bit cheesy, but if this was the way of getting to know the 12'' so be it.

It makes me so happy to see this album cover. Brings up a fun memory. I'm 17, my parents are away on a trip. It's New Year's Eve and I'm blasting this throughout the house waiting for friends to come over. And trying to find something from my parent's "bar" to sneak. All I could find was Vermouth. I think I mixed it with Mountain Dew. Gross. LMAO!
Went through the exact same emotion .... I bought this album years ago....also my first exposure to the Replacements

The same might be said of your comment.
Huge Echo and the Bunnymen fan here, but this is my least favorite track. To me it's the equivalent to Blind Melon's "No Rain". Why is it that I usually don't like a Band's more/most popular song?
I’m always up for some Bunnymen, but I’d love to hear something from Heaven Up Here like A Promise or Turquoise Days. That album was in heavy rotation on my turntable back in the day.

FANTASTIC!! I'M SO EXCITED! MY LIFE IS COMPLETE!!!!
Thanks for playing Echo and the Bunnymen. First concert I ever went to. Billy Bragg opened for them. Made me smile.
Me too. First concert I went to. 1984.
Saw them again few years back and have tickets for later this year. 😎
New Wave Bugs Bunny
Echo & The Bugs Bunnymen!
(I think I still have this CD. It was right in my musical wheelhouse in high school. Great stuff on this one!)
I love the "Just Say" series - I have about a dozen as well...
Love the Bunnymen, but i hear cowbell in this mix...i'm out!
Me too, can't stand these fuckin cowbells.
It's called percussion!
Sometimes ya just need a bit of freshener and the thing smells as good as new!
Also, since I'd never heard the Bunnymen or this song before getting my hands on this CD, I have a special fondness for this version. So sue me.
Me too, can't stand these fuckin cowbells.

Bruce Lampcov did both this version and the original mix. My impression is the band did a bunch of takes in the studio and Lampcov made both a radio-friendly and a full-length version from that. It's not like some random remixer said "hey I can make this rock song into a dance tune" behind the band's back. This is the main guy the band hired to assemble their final mix(es).

Un son vraiment très bon

The doctor part of me won
Try not to count all the 5 billion germs next time you kiss someone as it really kills the mood and can make that kiss go on for way to long as your mind is annoyed as hell to have to kiss someone....

I respect your right to an opinion, but you are clearly a total tosspot.
Not in the fucking Yukon they didn't...
this sounds like sh**
Ha! Does it sound like shit (you can say it, we're all adults here) because you were born in 1987? Is your relative youth an impediment to good taste? I solute your balls for having such advanced powers of self-reflection.

And we won't mention all the little creatures we carry around on our skin, live in our beds, etc. ad nauseum .
That seems to be true of most remixes, though.
Wish you were here, Sugar...
The doctor part of me won<'t go into the fact that there are over 5 billion germs in the human mouth alone. "Sugar kisses" would be 5+ billion germs plus a trip to the local dentist office, but that isn't as much fun as just jammin' to the fact that the base sounds good with this audio setup. =)

This song completely creeps me out now...
eh yeah, i mean what is Bugs doing on the cover there?
this sounds like sh**
Admit it Romeo - you're outsourcing your comment posts.
Check out the The New Yorker piece on outsourcing Tweets. Your comment kinda made me think of that.
It is an excellent song... there is just some history attached to that song now, and the history creeps me out... I wish I did not have the history attached to it, because the song is fine... sorry!
Nuthin to be sorry about amigo. this song just reminds me of sneakin' up into amy *******'s bedroom window when I was 14 and how things went from there.
This song completely creeps me out now...
WHAAAAT? say it ain't so romeo! HOW COULD THAT BE? man, I love this song
So that we could dance for longer to a song. The clue's in the phrase "extended dance mix" ;). From a record buying viewpoint they were a bit of a con, mind, a way of record companies making extra money off the same track by releasing a 12" and charging double single prices for it.
Music wise the 80's were pretty tinny overall. You put warmth in and you start having bad 90's style music. You may not like it, I am not a big fan, but it is what it is.
Basically, I disagree with you about what you seem to characterize as "80s stuff." But let me ask you this, if you take away all the "stuff" that makes it "80s stuff," what is it?
We be dancing... love it...
Right there with you, romeotuma. It's been a very scary and horrible week, and this song just invaded. Gotta dance - how could I not?
I'm with you on the drum sound. I just really hate it.
Sad thing is that this is one of the more tastefully done 80s drum tracks! Even got my foot tapping after a few seconds.
Fortunately the beat's got a good enough groove to carry it over the processing and default-preset PCM70 reverb... The reversed verb on the muted cowbell hits is a nice touch though, my ears pricked up in delight at that. (it's the little things with me)
With regards to the person who said they were glad that the CD this is from helped them out of the 70s music scene, there was nothing wrong with it! 80s rock/pop had nothing on 70s rock/pop.
I'm with you on the drum sound. I just really hate it.
Me too - a French au pair that I met circa 1990 in DC. Spent a lot of wonderful days and nights on the Delaware shore with that girl. Still remember it as if it were yesterday.

I wish I'da said that!!!

I don't. I give the one I know and love a 10. This a 1. I think this whole business of remixing is just a gimmick.
*Great* band that never fails you. A 9 from me.
Looking forward to the new album!
Oh and this is a fun 80's song as well. The fact that it's in EP format goes from a 7 to an 8...

I agree, this isn't better than the "radio" edit, mostly because this isn't a great song, it's ok but certainly not one of Echo's best. less is more.
that's not to say "club" mixes don't have their place.. and that place is a club. not on the radio.
just MHO of course, as a Echo enjoyer, and former DJ, of both radio and clubs..
