Echo & the Bunnymen are an English post-punk group formed in Liverpool in 1978. The original line-up consisted of Ian McCulloch, Will Sergeant and Les Pattinson, supplemented by a drum machine assumed by many to be "Echo", though the band denies this. In the 1982 book Liverpool Explodes!, Will Sergeant explains in an interview: "We had this mate who kept suggesting all these names," says Will, "like The Daz Men or Glisserol and the Fan Extractors. Echo and the Bunnymen was one of them. I thought it was just as stupid as the rest"

Bombers Bay Lyrics

Echo & The Bunnymen

The word went round
In no dream town
They shut us up
And the shutters down
The planes flew in
And laid the ground
We built upon
And spun around
Gods one miracle
Lost in circles
Chorus:
On the march
Berlin to bombers bay
Traveling dark
On the roads to mandalay
Cannon fire
Came to call
Stood us up
And watched us fall
The way we were
And now outworn
Our costumes changed
To uniforms
Black black days
Here to stay
On the march
Madrid to bombers bay
Traveling dark
On the road to mandalay
Pack up the troubles and youll all get by
Smile boys thats the style
Pack up your troubles and youll all get by
Smile
They give us hope
And teach us well
With magic moons
That cast a spell
And hypnotise
And draw us in
I believe
Im believing
Gods one miracle
Moves in circles
On the march
Berlin to bombers bay
Traveling dark
On the road
(chorus)
Black black days
Where the flying fishes play
(x4) ...
