Thompson Twins, Hold Me Now (1983).

The first time I listen to the Thompson Twins (yes they got they name after the Dupond et Dupont from Tintin Comics and not afther the TV Sets Corporation), was in Ghostbuster's soundtrack where they added "In the Name of Love". but their highest charting single was Hold Me Now.

They were a trio (later a duo), Bailey, Currie and Leeway. My first album (I bought it in vinyl, of course) was Big Trash and was fun to the bone. I love this band and they had their impact on the music of the 80s. Go for their Live Aid (1985) show with Madonna.

I have a picture,
pinned to my wall.
An image of you and of me and we're laughing and loving it all.
Look at our life now, tattered and torn.
We fuss and we fight and delight in the tears that we cry until dawn

Hold me now, warm my heart
stay with me, let loving start (let loving start)

You say I'm a dreamer, we're two of a kind
Both of us searching for some perfrct world we know we'll never find
So perhaps I should leave here, yeah yeah go far away
But you know that theres no where that I'd rather be than with you here
today

[Chorus]

You ask if I love you, well what can I say?
You know that I do and if this is just one of those games that we play
So I'll sing you a new song, please don't cry anymore
and then I'll ask your forgiveness, though I don't know just what I'm
asking it for

[Chorus]
