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

Too late to beg you or cancel it

Such a great track and still sounds good upon every listen.✌️

Big blast from the past, back when I was much too busy living this to listen to the lyrics.

That is not cool. I have removed this from one of my favorites to "hate". Its creepy and disturbing.

I think may be reading it too literally. The songwriter says its about pre-destiny and everything in life. The "he" in this song is probably more representative of God than a man.

I'm always very excited when I hear the intro, but once the singer starts I lose interest. This song has a really fantastic sound, but the vocal melody just isn't for me. It's a line that walks back and forth, with a lot of emphasis but never treading any new ground, a bit like it was a prisoner in a cell.
It makes me feel desolate, which a lot of music manages, but also repressed, so there's none of the joy or satisfaction you usally get out of it with other songs. (Maybe that was actually the intention?)
In the solo break in the middle, I can imagine a little bit what the song could have been.

Yay for Ottawa. It's where I discovered RP, before moving to the U S of A a few years ago, literally a couple hour's drive from Paradise, CA. I gave this one a 7 since I remember it when it came out and have liked it ever since, though it still sounds a bit over-wrought, but nothing like Hunger Strike that just got played next, ooof.

cool
This is nice and everything, but what the world needs right now is a nice, old-fashion The Smiths singalong.
Good, but I like Pavement's version more,...
There was a game show in the 90s like pictionary, and the answer was Echo and the Bunnymen. No one playing the game knew what that meant. They tried to draw it any way
I saw them earlier in 2019 at a very small venue in Detroit; great energy

A rare triple-10 for me with this song.
The Cinematic Orchestra, To Build a Home
Simon & Garfunkel, Scarborough Fair
Echo & The Bunnymen, The Killing Moon
How I do love RP...

A profound Chicken~Skin Giver of a tune ; >
used in Billions recently too - great tune.
Grosse Pointe Blank & Donnie Darko, two of my favorite movies!
Also on the Grosse Pointe Blank soundtrack 
Although I was in college when this came out, this song is now stuck in my mind as part of the Donnie Darko soundtrack.
One of the most original bands and sounds of their era, and among Liverpool’s finest. This song is cinematic and endlessly interesting. Even some of their more recent albums continue to be worthwhile. I particularly dig “Siberia.”
Nobody said there aren't bunnywomen too; this just isn't them.

not for everybody but I've loved this from the first moment hearing it (on WLIR back in the 80's : )
this band mattered
Trippy as hell, wicked as sin; party with abandon till the whole shit-house goes up in flames, all right, all right, all right...
Still great live if you get a chance - GO - while you still can.

A rarity - 30+ years on - a song that actually gets better with age.
These guys are great. They have put some good albums in this century also.

Best ignore the lyrics and yer man's ponceyness, and just enjoy the music. This song was a guaranteed floor-filler at alternative discos back in the 80s.
Oh, Fred, you're such a caution.

Can anyone explain the lyrics? I have the basic gist, but don't think I quite grasp the full meaning. When Ian says "him" in the refrain, is he referring to himself in the third person?

Ian gives it a go:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Killing_Moon#Lyrics
According to the liner notes of Echo and the Bunnymen's Crystal Days box set, Ian McCulloch woke up one morning with the phrase "fate up against your will" in mind. In a 2015 interview McCulloch said: "I love (the song) all the more because I didn’t pore over it for days on end. One morning, I just sat bolt upright in bed with this line in my head: 'Fate up against your will. Through the thick and thin. He will wait until you give yourself to him.' You don’t dream things like that and remember them. That’s why I’ve always half credited the lyric to God. It’s never happened before or since". McCulloch attributed the use of astronomical imagery in the song to a childhood interest in space.

Damn! Sorry I missed that one. It's not too often Ian Mac shows up withing an hour of my humble abode. Looks like they covered ALMOST all of the bases I'd be interested in.
Here's the set list list you saw (and i didn't):
Encore: Encore 2:
P.S.-"Do It Clean" RULES!
P.S.S.-Where the hell was "Silver" and/or "The Back of Love"?
Saw them LAST night in Chicago - great show - still got it! However would have liked more from Heaven Up Here and Porcupine..... Did a cover of The Doors "People are Strange," and did this tune also. Only 3 tracks I think from the new album which was surprising - and they were great!

This is my fave E&tB song. Very moody, noirish and fatalistic. Makes me understand why teens loved the Twilight movies.

I don't think this is appropriate. Lyrics with "killing time"? C'mon... Silence the radio for a few moments out of respect instead of playing this song.
Timing for this is poor, or at least in bad taste ..... 9:30 EST ... one week later
not ready to close to 10 but I just bumped it from an 8 to a 9.
Had to check and make sure I had given this a 10. I had. What a great song that has lasted, it came from an epochal era of my life.

I'm not a huge Pavement fan, but sometimes they hit it out of the park like they did with this one. It's a little bit harder and the guy isn't as good of a vocalist, but it's a really fun song.
Damn, I love having a wife with good taste in music. This is one that she introduced me to.

I know hearing a song more than once poses major issues for you though. If you, sirdroseph, don't like something the first listen, then you never give it another chance!!!! Really, you'd like this CD. This song sounds too jarring at first, I know.
Terrible song! At least it was not top 40 and I have never heard it before though, so it's all good!
It's probably the clangiest song there ever was, clang was something they were good at. This one requires many listens, though. You'll like it with repeated listens. Trust me. I know hearing a song more than once poses major issues for you though. If you, sirdroseph, don't like something the first listen, then you never give it another chance!!!! Really, you'd like this CD. This song sounds too jarring at first, I know.
A great cover of this song by Pavement...

I'm not a huge Pavement fan, but sometimes they hit it out of the park like they did with this one. It's a little bit harder and the guy isn't as good of a vocalist, but it's a really fun song.
Damn, I love having a wife with good taste in music. This is one that she introduced me to.

I always loved this "tune", but listening to it closely, it is really disgusting. Along with the dark sound (which I always liked) the words are
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
That is not cool. I have removed this from one of my favorites to "hate". Its creepy and disturbing.
