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 was a British rock band active from the 1980s to the 1990s, known for their pop-rock sound with synthpop and new wave influences. Formed in London in 1977 by Tom Bailey (vocals, keyboards), Alannah Currie (drums, percussion) and Joe Leeway (bass), they achieved international fame in the 1980s with hits like "Hold Me Now", "Doctor! Doctor!" and "Lay Your Hands on Me". The band went through several stylistic phases, moving from a more rock sound to more electronic synthpop. After a break in 1993, Tom Bailey continued working as a solo musician, releasing albums and collaborating with other artists. Thompson Twins are considered one of the most influential British music groups of the 1980s, thanks to their innovative sound and energetic performances.
