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
There's a scandal in the city, lots of rumors flying round
I gave them all my money, what I lost they found
Sometimes I think they're madder than hatters having tea
Setting up the situation to destroy the scenery
(chorus)
(There's no peace) No peace for the wicked
We're dancing till we drop
(There's no rest) No rest for the wicked
And we're all too scared to stop
Oh can't you see the trouble?
It causes me much pain
Cause I don't understand
Why should I stand out in the rain?
Sometimes I think they're madder than hatters having tea
Setting up the situation to destroy the scenery
(REPEAT CHORUS x 2)
Satellites spin through the air, suffragettes are everywhere
When the headlines hit the streets they're gonna knock you off your feet
Satellites spin through the air, acrobats of atmosphere
Maybe love will disappear
I wonder if you really care
There's two people on the wire
Making fun of what you said
Say you're looking for affection
Won't you look at me instead?
No peace for the wicked
We're dancing till we drop
No rest for the wicked
And we're all too scared to stop
(REPEAT CHORUS x 2)
