Biography

Thompson Twins (named after the detectives Thomson and Thompson in the Tintin comics) was formed in 1977 in Sheffield by [a=Tom Bailey] and guitarists [a=John Roog] and [a=Peter Dodd], with drummer [a=Chris Bell (3)] joining soon afterwards after some line-up changes. They arrived in London and self-released their debut single [url=http://www.discogs.com/Thompson-Twins-Squares-And-Triangles/release/2014184]"Squares And Triangles"[/url] in 1980. After their 1981 debut album, they recruited [a=The Soft Boys]'s bassist [a=Matthew Seligman], New Zealand saxophonist [a=Alannah Currie], and percussionist [a=Joe Leeway], forming a septet. After the group completed their second album, "Set", Dodd and Roog left to form the short lived act [a=Big View]. Seligman also left the group to pursue a career as a session musician (for [a=The Waterboys], [a=David Bowie] etc.). As a trio, Thompson Twins reached their commercial peak with their [url=http://www.discogs.com/Thompson-Twins-Into-The-Gap/release/56303]"Into The Gap"[/url] album and the five singles that it spawned, managing to conquer the American market in the process. Joe Leeway went solo in May 1986 and the group continued as a duo, releasing three more albums. The band released eight albums in total. In 1993, Bailey and Currie started the electronic project [a=Babble].

LYRICS

i have a picture
pinned to my wall
an image of you and of me
and we're laughing with love in it all
look at our life now
tattered and torn
we're fussing and fighting
delighting with tears
and we cry until dawn

(oh oh)
hold me now
(woah)
warm my heart
stay with me
let loving start
let loving start

you say i'm a dreamer
we're two of a kind
both of us searching for
some perfect world
we know we'll never find

so perhaps i should leave here
yeah go far away
but you know that
there's nowhere that
i'd rather be than
with you here today

(oh oh)
hold me now
(oh)
warm my heart
stay with me
let loving start
let loving start

oh hold me now
(woah)
warm my heart
stay with me
let loving start
let loving start

woah oh oh

you ask if i love you
what can i say
you know that i do
and that this is just
one of those games that we play

so i sing you a new song
please don't cry any more
and i ask your forgiveness
though i don't know just
what i'm asking it for

(oh oh oh oh)
hold me now
(woah)
warm my heart
stay with me
let loving start
let loving start...

(repeats til end)
