Artist/Band: Erasure
Lyrics for Song: Brother And Sister
Lyrics for Album: Wild! [1989]



When I was young

I would scream blue murder

'Til I had my own way

Run from the family

And tell of a story to spite my elders



'Round and 'round, the boy in the garden of lies and science fiction



Chorus:

Brother and sister and father of mine

Keep us together and keep us in line

A lot we depend on, a lot we can do

Send love to mother, I'll be good to you



To pollute the mind of a minor

The only escape from the rigours of life

Pretend we're a family and try to believe in the virtues of truth



'Round and 'round, caught up in the tangle of lies and deception



Chorus



'Round and 'round x 16



Chorus x 2



But still we're going 'round, the boy in the gaden of lies



Chorus x 2


Brother And Sister - Erasure

Released on the 1989 album Wild!, 'Brother And Sister' stands as a defining track in Erasure's synth-pop canon. The song showcases Vince Clarke's signature melodic sensibility, blending lush synthesizer textures with a driving rhythm that epitomizes the era's New Wave sound. As a key component of the band's discography from this period, the recording captures the group's evolution into a more polished, radio-friendly style while retaining their distinctive electronic edge. The track remains a staple of their live performances and has been widely covered, cementing its status as a classic example of late 80s pop music.
