Under blue moon, I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms, too late to beg you
Or cancel it, though I know it must be
The killing time
Unwillingly mine

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

In starlit nights, I saw you
So cruelly, you kissed me
Your lips, a magic world
Your sky, all hung with jewels
The killing moon
Will come too soon

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

Under blue moon, I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms, too late to beg you
Or cancel it, though I know it must be
The killing time
Unwillingly mine

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
You give yourself to him

La
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
You give yourself to him

La, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la

    My Interpretation

    funny, I've read all 97 or so comments here and NO one thought it was about what I thought it was...about losing one's virginity. I won't go into detailed chemical analysis...listen to the song again and go with it. But if the guy who wrote it tells you what it's about well...it's his song right? (now everyone listen to the Bunnymen because if you never saw them live you have at least their music to indulge in...great freakin' band man.) I was devastated when Pete passed...the band were never the same after that. Note his work on 'BACK OF LOVE'- he played this w/cross-sticking, and you can hear/feel it.
