Speak
Spell
What's that word again
In
Out
Of my head again
Clear
Cut
Charmed I'm sure again
Meriting
A wishful thought
A wise man indeed
A fool to believe
A heart on my sleeve
Was laughing at me
Prayers left unsaid
There's no truer word said
Cloud
Foam
Looks like rain again
Glass
Wall
Looks could kill again
Clock
Face
Half past two again
Turn again
And how time flies
A wise man indeed
A fool to believe
The heart on my sleeve
Was laughing at me
Prayers left unsaid
There's no truer word said
Dream
World
In my palm again
Hot
Cold
Fingers burn again
Tear
Drop
To the floor again
Gravity
How real is real
A wise man indeed
A fool to believe
The heart on my sleeve
Was laughing at me
Prayers left unsaid
There's no truer word said
A wise man indeed
A fool to believe
The heart on my sleeve
Was laughing at me
Prayers left unsaid
There's no truer word said

Tragic
Erasure’s 'Tragic' is a hauntingly melodic synth-pop anthem that showcases the duo’s signature blend of lush production and emotionally resonant vocals. Released in 1994 as part of their album 'I Say I Say I Say,' the track reflects the band’s evolution into more introspective territory while retaining their danceable hooks. The song’s melancholic tone and layered harmonies echo the emotional depth found in their earlier hits like 'A Little Respect' and 'Take Me Back.' It remains a standout in Erasure’s catalog, capturing the band’s ability to fuse pop sensibility with cinematic emotion. 'Tragic' continues to resonate with fans for its timeless production and emotionally charged delivery.
