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
Come on, come on down the rowe
You'll believe exactly what your told
And you'll lay down, lay down in shade of trees
Yes, it'll happen to you just like it happened to me
Well I think using my mind
I look around for love but what do I find
I try to relax it's time for a rest
I just can't seem to get out of this mess
(chorus)
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Down the rowe
In a birds' nest, I find an egg
Well I break it up and rub it all over my head
And I wonder should I do this or should I do that
And does it matter if this whole story is a matter of fact
(REPEAT CHORUS)
And as a consequence of this
Well I just remembered everything I miss
So come on, come on down the rowe
You'll believe exactly what your told
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Ya,
Oh Oh Oh Oh, Ya, Ya Ya Ya
