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.

Tears Lyrics
Thompson Twins
watching you... watching me
watching you... watching me
I focus on a face in Samarkand
accepting my reward
It brings alive my distant memories
they're my last resort
(chorus)
watching you...watching me
(watching you...watching me)
a look left, look right
look left, look right
look left, look right
look left, look right
look left, look right
look left, look right
look left, look right
look left, look right
Dinosaurs are grazing in suburbia
they're glowing in the dark
Electrified they fight and fuss about
they're eating up the park
(REPEAT CHORUS)
(REPEAT CHORUS)
The circuit boards are linking up in rhyme
there is no reason why
Except the dreams of soft machines
we have no need to cry
(REPEAT CHORUS)
watching you... watching me
(watching you... watching me)
watching you... watching me
(watching you... watching me)
a look left, look right
look left, look right
look left, look right
look left, look right
look left, look right
look left, look right
look left, look right
look left, look right
a look left, look right
I spend all of my time...
watching...
Watching you watching me
Yeah, watching you watching me
Yeah, watching you watching me...
(to fade)
