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.

Still Waters Lyrics
Thompson Twins
You see me standing there
Move a little closer take a look
You see an ordinary man
You think that you can read me like a book
So you cast me a smile
Reel me in with striptease eyes
But you're way out of your depth
And you won't heed the warning signs
(chorus)
You're walking on thin ice
You're living on borrowed time
You're playing with dynamite
STILL WATERS RUN DEEP (Still waters run deep)
YOU BETTER LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP (Still waters)
I don't wanna scare you
I don't want to do you any harm
But you've got your finger on the trigger
And you're about to set off my alarm
CHORUS
You oughta know by now
Things are never what they seem
And if you play with fire
You've gotta to be able to take the heat
CHORUS
