Bucks Fizz Lyrics - I Hear Talk (1984)

I HEAR TALK(1984)

I HEAR TALK

It’s never been easy living with you
Dish of the season fishing for truth
But we got it rolling right on the track
Here’s to the future with no turning back
We’re taking half and half in mystery
We’re making love to love so easily
And still I can’t believe what’s going round
I don’t believe you’d ever let me down

I hear talk, I hear the writings on the wall
Too many private eyes and party lines
Secret signs friends who seem to know it all
I hear talk, I hear talk

Talk
I look in your eyes and what do I see
Everything I needed looking at me
Beyond all suspicion dreams on the side
Hold that position ticket to ride
So when it’s all wrapped up
Like it’s meant to be
The only trap that’s left is jealousy
And still I can’t believe what’s going round
I don’t believe you’d ever let me down

I hear talk, I hear the writings on the wall
Too many private eyes and party lines
Secret signs friends who seem to know it all
I hear talk, I hear talk

Chinese whispers circulate
There’s a news man leaning on the garden gate
If you don’t wanna headline better use your head
‘Cause I heard someone say something you said

I hear talk, I hear the writings on the wall
Too many private eyes and party lines
Secret signs friends who seem to know it all
I hear talk, I hear talk

Talk talk talk

INDEBTED TO YOU

Walk a lonely street
And think of when
There’s nowhere to turn
That was how it was
Before I dreamt a dream of you
Before I knew
You could be here
Take away the pain and darkness

You taught me to love
You taught me to hate
It’s true

With you I really learned how to love
I’m indebted to you
You turned me into something new
It’s true, it’s true
That with you
I really learned how to cry
I’m indebted to you
You showed me how to lie
I’m indebted to you

Walking next to you
I feel the warmth
Warmth of your love
Fighting like a child for me
And every move you make
I feel the touch
Touch of your hand
Pulling me towards your heart

So
Don’t slip away
Don’t leave in a day
It’s true

Turn from the night to the day
Don’t let the word slip away
Make believe I’m for you

I’m indebted to you
Indebted to you
Indebted to you

With you I really learned how to love
I’m indebted to you
You turned me into something new
It’s true, it’s true
That with you
I really learned how to cry
I’m indebted to you
You showed me how to lie
I’m indebted to you

Indebted to you…

TEARS ON THE BALLROOM FLOOR

Pale young lovers
Dancing hand in hand
As the local band
Plays the final tune

Sad young lovers
Hold each other tight
For they know the night
Will be over soon

Two young lovers
Dancing hand in hand
Why they have to part
They don’t understand

Midnight
They don’t see the coloured
Streamers shimmerin’ down
Midnight
And it’s time to say goodbye
To the wrong side of town
Midnight
And in the crowd
Two anxious faces watch the door
And there are
Tears, tears on the ballroom floor

Pale young dreamers
Hold each other close
They don’t hear the sound
They are on their own

Sad young dreamers
Hold each other near
There is no-one else
They are on their own

As these final moments descend
Vow their love will never end

And sad young dreamers
As the music plays
Now we have to go
Separate ways

And there are tears
Tears on the ballroom floor
Wishing they don’t have to say goodbye
Tears, tears on the ballroom floor

COLD WAR

You’ve red marks
Round your eyes from crying over me
I can see you believe
You’re as blameless as can be
Then you complain again
That we never seem to chat (back-chat)
Why chat (cha-cha-chat)
If your chat’s as flat as that

And I don’t see an end
To the cold war
No I can’t see an end
To this cold war
We’ve been here before
Looking for love before
And I don’t see an end
An end to the cold war

So they say
All our lives just fly by like a plane
And I’ve watched my ideals
And my life go down the drain
I’d be good for you
If you’d just give peace a shot (a shot)
Why not (why not)
It’s the only shot we got

And I don’t see an end
To the cold war
No I can’t see an end
To this cold war
We’ve been here before
Looking for love before
And I don’t see an end
An end to the cold war

The disarming way you had about you
The disarming way I had about me
The non-aggression pact that used to be
Oh-Oh-Oh

And I don’t see an end to the cold war
(Can’t see an end to this war)
No I can’t see an end to this cold war
(Can’t see an end to this war)
No I can’t see an end to this cold war
(Can’t see an end to this war)…

GOLDEN DAYS

She locks the bedroom door
Lies face down on the bed
Hears voices down the hall
Are they real or in her head?
The pictures on the wall
Reminders every one
Just memories of the past
Of a time that's been and gone
All those wild and crazy nights
They still dance before her eyes
(Those crazy nights, her name in lights)

Look at her now, the golden days are over
Look at her now, no leading man to hold her
She was just one in a million
Now she's a forgotten face
Look at her now the golden days are over

Applauded by the press
An overnight success
A favourite with the fans
Had them eating from her hands
But stars fall from the sky
In the twinkle of an eye
There's no more silver screen
Just another broken dream
Still she strikes a classic pose
Just in case the camera rolls
(She steals the scene, relives the dream)

Look at her now, the golden days are over
Look at her now, no leading man to hold her
She was just one in a million
Now she's a forgotten face
Look at her now, she needs someone to hold her
Feed her the lines
Someone to co-star
Someone to show her (someone to shine)
Look at her now the golden days are over
(You know her golden days are over)
Look at her now no leading man to hold her
(She’s got no leading man to hold)
Look at her now the golden days are over…

TALKING IN YOUR SLEEP

When you close your eyes and you go to sleep
And its down to the sound of a heartbeat
I can hear the things that you’re dreaming about
When you open up your heart and the truth comes out

You tell me that you want me
You tell me that you need me
You tell me that you love me
And I know that I’m right
‘Cause I hear it in the night

I hear the secrets that you keep
When you’re talking in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you’re talking in your sleep

And when I hold you in my arms at night
Don’t you know you’re sleeping in a spotlight?
And all your dreams that you keep inside
You’re telling me the secrets that you just can’t hide

You tell me that you want me
You tell me that you need me
You tell me that you love me
And I know that I’m right
‘Cause I hear it in the night

I hear the secrets that you keep
When you’re talking in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you’re talking in your sleep

When you close your eyes and you fall asleep
Everything about you is a mystery

You tell me that you want me
You tell me that you need me
You tell me that you love me
And I know that I’m right
‘Cause I hear it in the night

I hear the secrets that you keep
When you’re talking in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you’re talking in your sleep

I hear the secrets that you keep

BREAKING ME UP

This love is illogical
But the pain is physical
Why do I act like an animal?
‘Cause you’re so damn critical

Too sharp
Your tongue is like a knife
It cuts my heart
And leaves me sad
‘Cause I’m not that smart
I never knew that love
Could hurt so bad

It’s breaking me up
What the matter with you?
Why’d you do it to me?
It’s supposed to be love
Not a tragedy
Do you want me to go?
Do you want me to stay?
Where I stand, I don’t know
And I got to say
Love is breaking me up
Oo-oh
I said love is breaking me up

Big fish in a little pool
Still you treat me like a fool
Wish I could just act sensible
But you’re so incredible

This love will be the death of me
It hurts too much to be a clown
‘Cause I’m not so tough
Sometimes you look at me
And I break down

This love is breaking me up
This love is breaking me up

Where are you now that I’m falling apart?
Just take a look at what you’ve done to my heart
With this love
Oh

Oo-oh
Love is breaking me up
Oo-oh
Love is breaking me up
Oo-oh
Love is…

JANUARY’S GONE

No sad goodbye
Just a moment waking all alone
No tears in my eyes
Just a feeling that I should have known

Dreaming
Summer should be so warm now
No thought of leaving
How will I ever know how
Oh, the right went wrong
Nights will be getting long
Now January’s gone

January’s gone
And I can’t go on
January’s gone
And after all this time
I thought our love would carry on
I was wrong
Now January’s gone

Too blind to see
Should I ever listen to my heart?
Oh why, why me?
Was there something missing from the start?

Flying
Feelings would take me high then
No use in lying
Sometime I wonder why when
Oh, I miss her so
Memories linger on
But January’s gone

January’s gone
And I can’t go on
January’s gone
And after all this time
I thought our love would carry on
I was wrong
Now January’s gone

January’s gone

I never thought our love could end this way
I’ll never know
How could something right
Turn out this wrong?
Can I go on now she’s gone?
She’s gone

SHE CRIES

With an air of independence
She walks into your domain
You are captured by her beauty
You can feel her taking aim
And the way she lets her hair down
Sets a pounding in your head
But you get the strangest feelings
That she wouldn't care if you were dead

Underneath the cold and staring eyes
Underneath the cut of her replies
Underneath the passionless disguise
She cries, She cries, She cries…
Underneath the show that never dies
Underneath the calculating lies
Underneath emotionless goodbyes
She cries, She cries, She cries…

(My, oh, my, don't you cry)
(Ma will sing to you while you cry)

From a well detached position
You can see her targets fall
It seems she doesn't care for anyone
It seems she doesn't care at all

THIEF IN THE NIGHT

The summer breeze, it finds a resting place
A teardrop slowly slips, to touch your face
The shadow of night approaches too fast
It comes too soon to last
Until he leaves you alone

You hear the warmth of voice upon the wind
You slowly step toward the feel of him
A smile like ice to melt your heart
You need the strength to stop yourself
From falling apart

Then you’ll hear a cry, a cry, a cry in the night
That’s when the stranger comes to steal your heart
Just like a thief, a thief, a thief in the night
He’ll gently slip away
Then you’ll hear a cry, a cry, a cry in the night
That’s when the stranger comes to steal your heart
Just like a thief, a thief, a thief in the night
He’ll gently slip away

He takes you in his arms and gives you life
But as he leaves this darkness, it cuts like a knife
The rays of dawn approach too fast
To stop him from seeing
Your body and soul just falling apart

Then you’ll hear a cry
(He’s coming like a thief in the night)
Then you’ll hear a cry
(This dream is just a thief in the night)
Then you’ll hear a cry
(He’s coming like a thief in the night)
Then you’ll hear a cry
Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry

Then you’ll hear me cry

DON’T THINK YOU’RE FOOLING ME

One more mistake that I know I’m gonna make
When I call you up and then I ask ‘how are you?’
You say it’s fine, but you’re stringing me a line
If I’m out of sight, I’m out of mind, I know that

Til now it’s been a mystery
That everybody knows about but me

Don’t think you’re fooling
I know there’s someone with you
Don’t think you’re fooling
You know that I can see true
And now that I’ve found
That someone’s been around
Don’t think you’re fooling me, yeah

What can I say when I know you cheat this way
But I’ll find you out, you see your eyes can’t hide it
You know it’s wrong, and yet still you don’t let on
So you tell a lie and carry on deceiving

I’m not so sure that you know who
Would ever ever take on life with you

And now that I’ve found
That someone’s been around
Don’t think you’re fooling me, yeah

WHERE DO I GO NOW?

You, you’ve been running around
While I’ve been used, confused
Still, still you lie to me
And tell me that you care, yeah
I’ve made my mind up now
To live my life alone
Start it all again
Make believe I never needed you
But in my heart I know I do

So where do I go from here?
Which is the way that’s clear?
Where do I go from here?
Where do I go now?

Baby, someday you will realise
It’s how it’s meant to be
You’re no good for me
Oh I know that now
But still I love you anyhow

Where do I go from here?
(What do you do when there’s no love there?)
Which is the way that’s clear
(Take a chance, learn to try)
Where do I go from here?
(You gotta belong somewhere)
Where do I go now?

Where do I go from here?
(Where do you go when you’re on your own?)
Which is the way that’s clear?
(It’s not easy to find a way)
Where do I go from here?
(You ought to know by now)
Where do I go now?

ONE TOUCH TOO MUCH

I feel temptation reaching out and touching you
Something strange is in the air
I feel the fires and lies
Each night I’m watching you
Even though there’s no-one there

These guilty feelings are because of you
I can’t believe the things I love to do
When we touch

One touch too much
One look of desire
One touch too much
Both hands into the fire
One touch (one touch)
One touch
One touch (one touch)
One touch too much

I will try to stay away but you keep haunting me
I hear your voice when I’m alone
Here tonight your satin fingers
They’re chilling me
I feel your chill right to the bone

I had the situation in control
Your magic pulled me in
And I let go
When we touch

One touch too much
One look of desire
One touch too much
Both hands into the fire
One touch (one touch)
One touch
One touch (one touch)
One touch too much

PULLING ME UNDER

I’ve fallen for you
There’s no doubt about it
But you don’t seem to know
Though I keep on telling you so
My love

My feelings for you
They just seem to hurt me
Oh if you only knew
All the pain you’re putting me through
My love

I didn’t think that I could love in this way
Don’t ever think that it’ll go away
Oh no, I can’t let it go

You’re pulling me under
I think I’m going down
Pulling me under
Gonna drown in emotion
Pulling me under
Go-o-ing down
Pulling me under your spell
Pulling me under your love

Forever I try with no guilty feelings
Still I do anything
Lie at you as long as I win
Your love

I didn’t think that I could love in this way
Don’t ever think that it’ll go away
Oh no, I can’t let it go…

INVISIBLE

It's invisible
Love is invisible
Metaphysical
And physical
Love is invisible
Love is invisible
Love is…

Each night
When there's nobody there
There's a light
But you don't know from where
Feelings seem to arrive and disappear
You say you're looking for love
How will you know when it's here?

It's invisible
Love is invisible
Metaphysical
And physical
Love is invisible
Love is invisible
Love is…

In your mind, as it hides in your heart
'Til the time when it tears you apart
Sometimes something is wrong
You can't explain (you can't explain)
Just when you think love is gone
It comes along again

It's invisible
Love is invisible
Metaphysical
And physical
Love is invisible
Love is invisible

And in your mind, as it hides in your heart
'Til the time when it tears you apart

It's invisible
Love is invisible
Metaphysical
And physical
Love is invisible
Love is invisible

EVIL MAN

Every breath I take from you
Every scene and every view
Every star-lined interview
I’m gazing out, inside of you
Slipping so close to a fantasy
I see your shadow over me
Taking a little more each day
Why do we do these things to you
Every day

Evil man can’t hide
Evil man can only lie
Evil man denies
Evil man deceives the eyes
Evil man just takes
What he wants of you
And fighting you for every day

Every time I hear you call
Every lie however small
Everyday I’m in your arms
We fear your fire, we fear the hold
Living within this anarchy
These walls are closing in on me
I’m hurting a little more everyday
Why do we do these things to you
Every day?

Evil man can’t hide
Evil man can only lie
Evil man denies
Evil man deceives the eyes
Evil man just takes
What he wants of you
And fighting you for every day

He’s so evil
Evil man

Evil man
Evil man
He’s an evil man
An evil man
He’s an evil man
He’s an evil man
An evil man
Evil man

Evil man can’t hide
Evil man can only lie
Evil man denies
Evil man deceives the eyes
Evil man just takes
What he wants of you
And fighting you for every day

HERE’S LOOKING AT YOU

Living on a small blue world
A fever short of crazy
Running like a Pac-Man in the maze
Haven’t got a lot of time
Before the drummers roll for Judgement day
Just time enough to say
“Here’s looking at you”

Here’s looking at you
You can’t win
The angel leaves your heart
As the devil steps in
Take a look at yourself
It takes two
How can we go on
When you do what you do?
Here’s looking at you

(Here’s looking at you)

What you gonna do about love
With one hand on your Bible?
Who you gonna sacrifice today?
How you gonna pay the price
When now the tears you cry are acid rain?
Oh-oh
What you gonna do about war
With one hand on your rifle?
Who you gonna pacify today
Never gonna understand
It’s all the way God planned that it should be
And he just hangs around to say

Here’s looking at you
You can’t win
The angel leaves your heart
As the devil steps in
Take a look at yourself
Take three
If you feel what you feel
It’s the same as you see
Here’s looking at me

(Here’s looking at you)

Living on a small blue world
Your hands held up to heaven
Ever get the feeling something’s wrong?
Ever get the feeling
Someone’s laughing in the wings?
At the joke of jokes
The Judgement day long gone

Here’s looking at you
You can’t win
The angel leaves your heart
As the devil steps in
Take a look at yourself
Take four
From the other side of the heavenly door
Here’s looking at you

YOUNG HEARTS

Baby you came too late
Looking back did we hesitate?
Was it our one mistake?
Can't believe that one is all it takes
And you and I, thought we had it made

Nothing could tear us apart
Oh, the feelings from the very start
Fire was in our eyes
And the passion was in our tender touch
Now you and I, can only wonder why

In our young hearts
We were playing the part so well
Turning around, changing our lives
Everybody could tell
You and I making love again
Spent our time going half insane
We've got a new start
Back in our young hearts

Turning to someone new
(I'm turning to you)
Seemed to be the only thing to do
Times I could hardly wait
(Then I turn around)
Then I turn around
I could see in you, never been the same
Seems like such a shame

I never felt anything so right
As the dreams I shared with you
Now the emptiness I feel inside
Thinking about the days that we have shared

You and I making love again
Spent our time going half insane
We've got a new start

Back In our young hearts
We were playing the part so well
Turning around, changing our lives
Everybody could tell…
