what's not to love...

Somehow we drifted off too far
Communicate like distant stars
Splintered voices down the 'phone
The sunlit dust, the smell of roses drifts, oh no
Someone waits behind the door
Hiroshima mon amour
Riding inter-city trains
Dressed in European grey
Riding out to echo beach
A million memories in the trees and sands, oh no
How can I ever let them go?
Hiroshima mon amour
Meet beneath the autumn lake
Where only echoes penetrate
Walk through polaroids of the past
Future's fused like shattered glass, the sun's so low
Turns our silhouettes to gold
Hiroshima mon amour

Great lyrics and a favorite topic of mine but more because of the Alain Resnais film. I just wish the actual music part was a bit better. Anyone have the Church version of this song?

I've got some live Ultravox! bootlegs where this song is mindblowing. One version where it's just keys and voice, chilling and beautiful.

I've got it on mp3 somewhere, I haven't been able to locate the vinyl at a price I'm willing to pay.
