The Thompson Twins were an English New Wave/pop band normally associated with the 1980s. The band formed in April of 1977, and disbanded in May of 1993. Despite their constantly-misleading name, the Twins were in fact a trio, and consisted of Tom Bailey (vocals), Alannah Currie (synth) and Joe Leeway (guitar). Leeway would eventually leave the group in the late 80s. Massively popular in the mid 1980s, the band scored a string of hits in the UK, broke into the USA and Canada and enjoyed huge popularity around the globe.

Thompson Twins
Take my hand
Rob me for a while of my sight
Don't let me stand
Here underneath the red light
Oh touch my face
Feel the fascination as love grows
Your embrace
Eases the pain that only Tokyo knows
(bridge1)
WHERE WERE YOU WHEN I WAS COLD
AND ALL THE WORLD WAS OUT TO GET ME
(chorus)
TOKYO
WHY CAN'T I EVER SAY NO
TOKYO
Sense the chill
Of silent nights on my skin
Feel the thrill
As these four walls just cave in
Taste the rain
Splashes down on my roof
Seek in vain
For you will never know the real truth
(bridge2)
THIS HUMAN HEART BEATS MUCH TOO FAST
FOR COMFORT OR FOR LOVE IN TOKYO
