the thompson twins - hold me now
I have a picture pinned to my wall
an image of you and of me and we're laughing
with love at it all
But look at our life now, we're tattered and torn
We fuss and we fight and delight in the tears
that we cry until dawn
(chorus)
Hold me now
Warm my heart
Stay with me
Let lovin' start, let lovin' start
You say I'm a dreamer, we're two of a kind
Both of us searching for some perfect world we know we'll never find
So perhaps I should leave here, yeah yeah, go far away
But you know that there's nowhere that I'd rather be
than with you here today
(REPEAT CHORUS x 2)
You ask if I love you, well, what can I say?
You know that I do and that this is just one of those games that we play
So I'll sing you a new song, please don't cry any more
I'll even ask your forgiveness though I don't know just what I'm asking it for
(chorus2)
Oh, oh, hold me now (hold me in your lovin' arms)
Oh warm my heart (warm my cold and tired heart)
Stay with me (Ooh stay with me)
Let lovin' start, let lovin' start
(REPEAT CHORUS2 x 4)
the thompson twins - a product of
I live alone
Above the station
A product of...
My lord's creation
And in this town of disco heat
The dancing of a thousand feet
(chorus)
Nah nah, nah nah, nah nah,
Oh, oh, oh
Nah nah, nah nah, nah
(repeat chorus)
I work inside the children's city
They treat me as the lord and maker
And in this town of stops and starts
The beating of a thousand hearts
(repeat chorus)
I can see
Just by using my eyes i can see
It's really no surprise in the park
Along the pathway i can walk
In a sullen way
Late at night
I'm walking back
Funny music inside my head
And when my imagination runs
The shooting of a thousand guns
(repeat chorus 'til the end of time)
the thompson twins - all fall out
Hey!
(chorus1)
This is where we all fall out
This is where we all fall out
This is where we all fall out
This is where we all fall out
I touch my hand
And i can hear her dance
And i see you you glowing
I always, i always, i always, i always...
(chorus2)
Dream, dream in red
Yes i dream, dream in red,
I always
(repeat chorus1)
I can't find my way
And i don't dare to shout
And i hear someone talking
I always, i always, i always, i always...
(repeat chorus1)
(repeat chorus2)
(repeat chorus1)
(repeat chorus2 x 2)
the thompson twins - another fantasy
We take some dancing with among our friends
Just dancing, dancing, dancing till this music ends
All night in the corner of my eye
Your face keeps kissing me goodbye
(Chorus)
It's just another fantasy
It keeps on coming after me
I close my eyes but I still see
It's just another fantasy
It takes some time to find our way in flashing lights
Always pretending it's just one of those nights
Instead of finding out if you and I are friends
Just dancing, dancing, dancing till this music ends
(Repeat Chorus)
It keeps on coming after me
I close my eyes but I still see
It's just another fantasy
Oh I need another fantasy
I need another fantasy, I need another fantasy
I need another fantasy, I need another fantasy
I need another fantasy (It keeps on coming after me)
I need another fantasy (It keeps on coming after me)
I need another fantasy (It keeps on coming after me)
I need another fantasy (It keeps on coming after me)
I need another fantasy (It keeps on coming after me)
the thompson twins - anything is good enough
In the middle of a crowded room
I'm sitting I'm all alone
And I am looking at what I see
In the middle of an empty screen
(chorus)
TV
Anything is good enough for me
Anything is good enough
As the camera looks in his face
Eyes are staring in another place
And I'm looking at what I see
Nothing perfect on TV
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Anything is good enough, yeah
Anything is good enough
Enough
Enough
As the camera looks into my eyes
You can tell I'm telling lies
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Good enough for me
the thompson twins - big trash
It's a nightmare, a virgin's dream
On the back seat of a limousine
It's the fairy lights that light up your hair
It's the matt black leather dresses that you wear
Big trash
Oh big trash
People paying hard cash
Yeah, yeah
For big trash
Lipstick kisses on your breasts
Dirty Chandeliers from a million cigarettes
Picasso in a Japanese department store
The way you giggle and squeal for more
And photographs of the pope in bed
With uptown girls trying to get some head
Finding heaven in the Riz hotel
Then throw yourself down in a wishing well
Big trash
Oh big trash
People paying hard cash
Yeah, yeah
For big trash
The Empire State, the Holy Grail
Good old England is up for sale
And giant flags and Uncle Sam
Hey honey, the ole boy is a dirty old man
Fire bombs and lotsa guns
Bang bang you're dead in the name of love
Yeah it's every little thing that you want it to be
It looks so good but never comes free
Big trash
Oh big trash
People paying hard cash
Yeah, yeah
For big trash
Big trash
Oh big trash
People paying hard cash
Yeah, yeah
For big trash
the thompson twins - blind
Hands on shoulders walking round and round
Hills and trees and lakes are made of sound
Seeing every detail with our ears
It's very, very, very dark in here
(chorus)
Blind lead the blind
Down, down, down, down, down, oh yeah
Blind lead the blind
Down, down, down, down, down, oh yeah
Blind lead the blind
Down, down, down, down, down, oh yeah
Blind lead the blind
Down, down, down, down, down, oh yeah
I know you sometimes wonder what ??? ??? *
To have to feel your way with hands and feet
I hope you really wonder what's at stake *
To touch and feel the ones you want to meet
(REPEAT CHORUS)
If only someone would come and take us away
If only someone would come and show us the way
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down
the thompson twins - bombers in the sky
Rock a bye baby
You're the sweetest child
And when the wind blows
I will hold you tight
How can I talk to you about the shape of love
You better watch out
There's bombers in the sky
Bombers in the sky
You better run for your life
Kiss your wife goodbye
'Cause you know it's time to die
There are bombers in the sky
Ring a ring a roses
Floating on the sea
Sing your song for sixpence
But don't ask me to believe
No don't talk to me about the shape of love
You better watch out
'Cause there's bombers in the sky
Bombers in the sky
You better run for your life
Kiss your child goodbye
You know it's time to die
There are bombers in the sky
Dirty politicians
with Coca-Cola smiles
Tiny little babies
Are weaned on their lies
So don't talk to me about the shape of love
You better watch out
There are bombers in the sky
Bombers in the sky
You better run for your life
Kiss your babe goodbye
'Cause now you know it's time to die
Bombers in the sky
You better watch out
There's bombers in the sky
Bombers in the sky
You better run for your life
Kiss your wife goodbye
'Cause you know it's time to die
There are bombers in the sky
the thompson twins - bouncing
You're the kind of person I could look at just to say I love you?
Or do you think the things I say are meant for someone else who's
living high above you?
It's time for you and me to play
Come on give yourself away
Don't care what you say
It's time for you and me to play
(chorus)
Bouncing like a ball
Bouncing like a ball
These games we play are not worth anything at all unless we're
bouncing like a ball
You're the kind of person I can talk to but never feel quite at home
And after half an hour realize that I would rather be on my own
I'm tired of playing hide and seek
Knock me off my feet
I never could see why the games we play were worth it anyway
(REPEAT CHORUS)
You're wasting your time with useless resistance
I'm wasting mine by keeping my distance
But none of these games would be worth anything at all
If you and I were really bouncing like a ball
You're the kind of person I could look at just to say I love you
Or do you think the things I say are meant for someone else who's
living high above you
(REPEAT CHORUS x 2)
the thompson twins - breakway
The moon shines cold with ice tonight
And i can see your face now in the violet light
And though you're a thousand miles away
I can hear you clearly
I hear every word you say
(chorus)
I just can't breakaway
No matter how i try
I just can't get away
I just can't find no peace of mind anyway
I have dreams that i don't understand
They're all tangled up like your hair in my hands
And though you're a thousand miles away
I can see you clearly
I feel every breath you take
(repeat chorus)
The moon strikes fear in hearts of men
And i thought i would never see your face again
And though you're a thousand miles away
I can hear you clearly
I tremble with every word you say
(repeat chorus x 3 to fade)
the thompson twins - bushbaby
Bushbaby-she's the one i want
She's got a natural sense of right and wrong
Bushbaby-she's the one i need
One minute she's here and the next she's gone
(chorus)
And i know-bushbaby-what i want-bushbaby-i can never have
the thompson twins - come inside
I can't find my way out of this place
I'm crawling on the floor
If the party's over, why won't you tell me?
I don't see you dancing any more
Well when all the doors are open wide
I'll be yours and maybe you'll be mine
So close your eyes; kiss the sky
The door is open won't ya come inside
Well can you hear the wind? It's telling lies
It happens all the time
Can you see the faces, seraphim eyes
They make me want to cry
Well when all the doors are open wide
I'll be yours and maybe you'll be mine
So close your eyes; kiss the sky
The door is open won't ya come inside
Come inside, come inside
Well, I could dive in deep or float on by
It doesn't matter to me, no
'Cause one way or another
I'm gonna get myself right out of this dream
When all the doors are open wide
I'll be yours and maybe you'll be mine
So cover your eyes; kiss the sky
The door is open, so come inside
the thompson twins - could be hercould be you
She sits there
Her hair is curled
She is living in a detached world
He walks by
He sees his chance
Thinks he's looking for romance
For romance
He talk to her of things he's done
And tries to make it all seem fun
But as she listens to what he say
Energy just drifts
Drifts away, drifts away
(chorus)
I have seen it
I have done it too
You could be her
He could be you
So carry on the way you are
The air is thinning more and more
The things you are, the things you do
The men he killed screaming for you
Screaming for you
Just for you
(repeat chorus)
She sits there
Her hair is curled
She is living in a detached world
But as she listens to what he say
Energy just drifts
Drifts away, drifts away
the thompson twins - crazy dog
Go to the mountain in time for a vision
Go to the mountain for a fatal vision
??? stand in the circle on a rock for hours and days on end
(Chorus)
Shaman's away forever they say
Shaman, shaman
Shaman's away forever they say
Shaman, shaman
Act like a crazy dog wear ??? and sashes
??? wait to they've gone to bed
??? crazy, crazy, crazy dog song
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Shaman's away forever they say
Shaman, shaman
Shaman, shaman
(REPEAT CHORUS x 2)
Shaman, shaman
??? so strong
???
Act like a crazy dog ???
And you act like a crazy dog ???
the thompson twins - dancing in your shoes
Your life is a circus
And your mind is just a mess
But you've come too far now
To wind up being second best
So you put on your hi-heels
And you strut to the edge
And say if you want me
You'll have to take me dead
