Biography

Formed in Los Angeles in 1981, The Bangles are an American band, who had several hit singles throughout the 1980s. The band's hits included "Walk Like An Egyptian", "Hazy Shade Of Winter", and the 1989 No.1 single "Eternal Flame". The band officially broke up in 1989 and almost ten years later in 1998, started drifting back together. In 1999, they officially re-formed to record a song for the soundtrack of "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me". The reunion continued with a tour in 2000 and in 2003 they released "Doll Revolution", their first album since 1988's "Everything". In 2005, The Bangles announced the departure of [a=Michael Steele] who left due to artistic disputes over touring and recording. Steele was replaced by touring bassist [a=Abby Travis] for live appearances. In the spring of 2009, The Bangles returned to the studio to begin work on a new album, "Sweetheart of The Sun". It was released on September 27, 2011.

LYRICS

(S. Hoffs/E. Lowen/D. Navarro)
You were standing like a statue in the light
And it looked like just like perfection in my eyes
When I spoke I staggered from the flow
Once I touched I never could let go, oh, oh, oh
This is what I waited for

Oh, oh, oh
Everything I wanted
Oh, oh, oh
Everything I wanted
For a while

So we whispered every secret we could tell
And we painted lovely pictures on ourselves
Though we hid the parts we did not want to know
As the strength of our illusions took control, oh, oh, oh
This is what I waited for

Oh, oh, oh
Everything I wanted
Oh, oh, oh
Everything I wanted
Oh, oh, oh
Everything I wanted

I never know if my heart tells lies
Caught in a feeling I just can't fight
Thirst like a warning too
Then come back around
Turn the clock back around

Oh, oh, oh, oh
This is what I waited for

Oh, oh, oh
Everything I wanted
Oh, oh, oh
Everything I wanted
Oh, oh, oh
Everything I wanted
