Biography

British synth-pop duo formed in London 1979 and consisting of Neil Arthur & Stephen Luscombe. They had a string of hits through the early to mid 1980s with songs such as "Blind Vision," "Don't Tell Me," "Living On The Ceiling," "Lose Your Love," "That's Love, That It Is" and "Waves." The band found their popularity waning by the mid-80's, and with the poor performance of their third album "Believe You Me," they initially split in 1986. They did eventually reform in 2006 and released a new album of original material in 2011, titled "Blanc Burn." Luscombe left following the release due to ill health, and since then Arthur alone has continued to perform under the Blancmange name.

LYRICS

And I don't know you, you don't know me
I want to, can't you see?
It won't take long
It won't take long, girl, just you wait and see
And I don't know you, you don't know me, you can't run with me
Just wait and see, girl

And I can't see you, you can't see me
My reason is distance, your reason's your lover
It won't take long
It won't take long, girl, just you wait and see
And I can't see you, you can't see me, you can't run with me
Just wait and see. girl

I know I've been drinking, but what's this I'm thinking?
I'd like to be with you, hear me now
And I don't know you, you don't know me, you just wait and see
Now I see you, now I hear you, rips my soul apart
Have you no heart, Love?

Now I go to pieces, for I know so little
Each time I speak now, my language runs riot
I thought there was something, but now I know different
Thought of my self first, how cruel can one be?
