You Take Me Up
as performed by the Thompson Twins
I work on the front line
I work to survive
I sleep in a fever
So this is my life
I cry in my sleep (cry boy, cry boy)
It just makes me weep when I try, how I try
I know what it means to work hard on machines
It's a labour of love so please don't ask me why
Looking for reason (day in, day out)
Trying too hard (he's trying too hard)
Moving in circles (too hard, too hard)
Don't get very far (don't get very far)
Should I ask you to dance (dance boy, dance boy)
If I promise romance, would you come for a ride
I know what it means to work hard on machines
Do you believe in love, one that last for all time
CHORUS
You take me up
You take me up to the higher ground
You take me up so high
Now I never wanna come back down
I'm glad in these hard times (day in, day out)
There's hope in your eyes (hope in his eyes)
I don't need a religion (too hard, too hard)
If this love never dies (love never dies)
I believe in today (believe boy, believe boy)
'Cause it's better this way when you work through the night
I know what it means to work hard on machines,
It's a labour of love, so please don't ask me why
repeat Chorus
You take me up
So high
You take me up
Thompson Twins è stato un gruppo musicale britannico attivo tra gli anni '80 e '90, noto per il suo sound pop-rock con influenze synthpop e new wave. Formati a Londra nel 1977 da Tom Bailey (voce, tastiere), Alannah Currie (batteria, percussioni) e Joe Leeway (basso), hanno raggiunto la fama internazionale negli anni '80 con successi come "Hold Me Now", "Doctor! Doctor!" e "Lay Your Hands on Me". Il gruppo ha attraversato diverse fasi stilistiche, passando da un sound più rock ai synthpop più elettronici. Dopo una pausa nel 1993, Tom Bailey ha continuato a lavorare come musicista solista, pubblicando album e collaborando con altri artisti. Thompson Twins sono considerati uno dei gruppi musicali britannici più influenti degli anni '80, grazie al loro sound innovativo e alle performance energiche.
