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 hear you laughing in some other room
And it makes me feel locked out
You say my passion often stifles you and you need to move about
Well
I was told that boys need girls and girls need boys
You say that's not true
You would rather fool around than to be alone with me

Well that's alright for you

Cause you've got love
Love
Love on your side

Yes
You've got love
Love
Love on your side

Yes
You've got love
Love
Love on your side

Yes
You've got love. love. love on your side

I brought you sentimental roses
But you gave them all away
I played you all my favorite records

Then we spent the night in talking
Talking all the time
You sent me home
I was so surprised to find that after all it doesn't hurt to be alone
Cause you've got love
Love
Love on your side

Well
All the things you say make perfect sense to me

But somehow I'm still unsure

But I catch myself going through the same old rhapsody
Rap boy rap!
Well
I don't understand just what I'm doing to myself

I guess that's nothing new
Cause when you meet someone who doesn't follow all the rules

It changes everything you do
Cause you've got love
Love
Love on your side

Yes
You've got love
Love
Love on your side
