electronic :: songs :: until the end of time

(marr, sumner and bartos)

not a trace of emotion remains inside
two hearts broken lay down by the riverside
single handed, they tried to escape from me
with a turn of the wheel it was

driving me crazy, oh baby
you’re driving me crazy, oh baby
you’re driving me crazy, oh baby
you’re driving me crazy, oh baby

this love was born instead of hate
celebrate our love (celebrate)
let me feel the right vibration
celebrate our love (celebrate)

and until the end of time
celebrate what’s mine
make it good and let it shine
celebrate our love

revelation or faith, i just can’t decide
will they drown in the flow of the rising tide
there’s a side of your life that you never see
it is real, this ordeal, and it’s

driving me crazy, oh baby
you’re driving me crazy, oh baby
you’re driving me crazy, oh baby
you’re driving me crazy, oh baby

gotta find, gotta find some peace within our time
’til the end of time, ’til the end of time (celebrate)
gotta find, gotta find some peace within our time
’til the end of time, ’til the end of time (celebrate)

this love was born instead of hate
celebrate our love (celebrate)
let me feel the right vibration
celebrate our love (celebrate)

and until the end of time
celebrate what’s mine
make it good and let it shine
celebrate our love

this love was born instead of hate
celebrate our love (celebrate)
let me feel the right vibration
celebrate our love (celebrate)

and until the end of time
celebrate what’s mine
make it good and let it shine
celebrate our love

raise the pressure
until the end of time

originally intended as the second single from raise the pressure (when the song was still provisionally titled ‘celebrate our love’), until the end of time was ultimately replaced by for you. it’s often derided for its intentionally fey bridge—moon and june indeed—but this unrelenting dance track features some of bernard’s best singing on the lp; get past its profuse production and dayglow lyrics and you have a jubilant, uplifting song. the phrase ‘the end of time’ also appears in one day and a new religion, lending credence to the rumours that sumner had writer’s block. some sixteen months after the album came out four remixes appeared on a mail order cd and 12", one by sumner himself. it is one of electronic’s most enduring rarities.
