Stop!
Erasure Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We'll be together again
I've been waiting for a long time
We're gonna be, we're gonna be
Together again
I've been connected to the right line
We'll be together and nobody ain't never
Gonna disconnect us or ever separate us
Or say to us you've got to

Stop!
Stand there where you are
Before you go too far
Before you make a fool out of love
Stop!
Don't jump before you look
Get hung upon a hook
Before you make a fool out of love

We'll be together again
I've been waiting for a long time
We're gonna be we're gonna be
Together again
I've been connected to the right line
We'll be together and nobody ain't never
Gonna disconnect us or ever separate us
Or say to us you've got to

Stop!
Stand there where you are
Before you go too far
Before you make a fool out of love
Stop!
Don't jump before you look
Get hung upon a hook
Before you make a fool out of love

We'll be together and nobody ain't never
Gonna disconnect us or ever separate us
Or say to us you've got to

Stop!
Stand there where you are
Before you go too far
Before you make a fool out of love
Stop!
Don't jump before you look
Get hung upon a hook
Before you make a fool out of love

Stop!
Stand there where you are
Before you go too far
Before you make a fool out of love
Stop!
Don't jump before you look
Get hung upon a hook
Before you make a fool out of love

Stop!
Stand there where you are
Before you go too far
Before you make a fool out of love
Stop!




Don't jump before you look
Get hung upon a hook

Vince Clark is a bloody genius. The hits he made, for so many. An amazing bloke

@salfordian0076

Agree seemed like whatever he touched in the 80’s turned to gold!

@TheStwat

Absolute genius

@matiasgoinheix366

Legend

@dh5697

This was played a lot in the 80s in all the pubs and clubs. Whenever it came on, the smoke machines used to fill the dance floor with a thick fog, lit up by all the whirling multicolored disco lights and everyone used to crowd onto the dance floor. Those were the days!

@aps4264

The (old) OP….(Old Plantation) El Paso TX… it was a mix, played after Breath of Life, we’d all scream, jump….dance!! Good time’s! (I can’t believe I remember the DJ playlist for these song’s)! 🤪

@alexsp7086

So true. Today they all gather on Instagram whilst their burning computer smoke chokes them all into antisocial Asexual behavioural syndromes.

@Daniel_Musashi

dois!

@slitchman6111

I miss the eighties and they embodied it

@rugbydazz2264

Oh they absolutely did! I can see myself now at the excalibur in Hanley 17 years old, when this came on you couldn't move.
