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
When I was young they said to me
Don't play with electricity
I tried to follow their advice
I very nearly paid the price, yeah
Some go this way, some go others
Some are children, some are mothers
Some go this way, some go others
Some are children, some are mothers
They gave me toys told me to play
They told me every single day
Always saying what to do
Did this ever happen to you?
And if I followed her myself
There's a bottle on the shelf
Before they finished with my life We'd all up-ed and paid the price
When I was young they said to me
Don't play with electricity
Always saying what to do
Did this ever happen to you?
