All That Jazz
Echo And The Bunnymen · Killing Moon: The Best Of Echo & The Bunnymen [2007]
We've been waiting with our best suits on
Hair slicked back and all that jazz
Rolling down the Union Jack
See you at the barricades, babe
See you when the lights go low, Joe
Hear you when the wheels turn round
Someday when the sky turns black
It appears because it's what I feel
I know I don't understand
If you ask you know I don't mind kneeling
But when my knees hurt I like to stand
Instinct is the common lawyer
A million years won't erase
Strike that chord, I'm searching for
Call it a committed race
No matter, how I shake my fist
I know I can't resist it
No matter, how you shake your fist
You know, you can't resist it
See you at the barricades, babe
See you when the lights go low, Joe
Hear you when the wheels turn round
Someday when the sky turns black
All That Jazz
All That Jazz stands as a vibrant example of Echo & The Bunnymen's enduring post-punk legacy. Featured on the 2007 compilation Killing Moon: The Best Of Echo & The Bunnymen, the track captures the band's signature atmospheric sound, blending Ian McCulloch's distinctive vocals with driving guitar textures. While the group is often celebrated for their darker, gothic anthems, this recording highlights their ability to craft energetic, danceable rhythms that remain central to their discography. The song reflects the band's consistent exploration of romantic melancholy and urban isolation, themes that have defined their musical output since the late 1970s. As part of a celebrated collection, it serves as a reminder of the group's influence on the genre and their continued relevance in the rock landscape.
