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

You keep me running round and round,
well that's alright with me,
Up and down, I'm up the wall,
I'm up the bloody tree.
That's alright with me,
Yeah, that's alright with me,
Well, it feels alight to me,
Yeah, it looks alright to me.

And, I'm so tall, I'm so tall,
You raise me and then you let me fall.
And I'm so small, I'm so small,
Wrap me round your finger, seen before.

Here we go

You keep me running round and round,
well that's alright with me,
Nothing, nothing, nothing's gonna
step in my way.
Living on the ceiling,
No more room down there.
Things fall into place,
you got the joke, fall into place.

Well I'm so tall, I'm so tall,
You raise me and then you let me fall.
And I'm so small, I'm so small,
Wrap me round your finger, seen before.

You keep me running round and round,
well that's alright with me,
Up and down, I'm up the wall,
I'm up the bloody tree.
Hiding from your questions,
Questions you won't ask.
"Why am I up the tree" you say,
"Why are you down there" I'm saying.

Well I'm so tall, I'm so tall,
You raise me and then you let me fall.
And I'm so small, I'm so small,
Wrap me round your finger, seen before.
