Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is "rolling over the past, it can change your life completely" and is "running wild and too fast, but I know it won't defeat me"?

Answer: Weight of the World

Answer: true

It launched the career of the band in America, though Erasure was already popular in England, thanks to their hit "Sometimes" from "The Circus".
5. "Down on the corner sits a broken man" "The kids hang out around the old schoolground" "Child in the arms of a teenage mom" "Old friends meet on the edge of town" Where are all these people?

Answer: Hallowed Ground

This one should have been easy, because "Hallowed Ground" was the only choice that is actually on "The Innocents". "Here in My Heart" is from "Loveboat"; "Blue Savannah" is from "Wild!"; "Home" is from "Chorus".
6. Which song on "The Innocents" starts out "How can I explain when there are few words I can choose? How can I explain when words get broken?"

7. Which song on "The Innocents" has almost no lyrics?

Answer: Sixty-Five Thousand

There is some talking at the beginning, but it is just an instrumental song.
8. "I can't believe that you would ever find it easy to walk away as if you never really cared." What do you have?

Answer: Heart of Stone

Hope you didn't choose "Crown of Thorns" because it is on the album "Wild!". Noted session performers The Kick Horns add their sound to the song "Heart of Stone".
9. What are you looking for when you sing these lines?: "I try to discover, a little something to make me sweeter, Oh baby refrain, from breaking my heart."

Answer: A Little Respect

10. Which song's chorus says "don't you cry, don't you cry, let me wipe away the tears from your eyes"?

Answer: Phantom Bride

None of these songs actually give the title in the chorus. Erasure is good at that kind of thing. Sometimes you wonder where they even got the title, like "Joan" which is on the album "Chorus".
11. "Oh come all ye who are faithful, lay down your sweet head and cry, enter the valley of light." From which song is this invitation?

Answer: Witch in the Ditch

13. "He was the baby of the class you know, he really didn't know that one and one was two, two and two were four." Where would we find this boy?"

Answer: Ship of Fools

"Oooh, do we not set sail on the ship of fools?
Oooh, why is love so precious and so cruel?"
14. "The Innocents" is the fourth album or compilation album for Erasure.

Answer: true

Their first three albums are "Wonderland", "The Circus" and "Two-Ring Circus".
