    Lyrics
    I work on the front line
    I work to survive
    I sleep in a fever
    So this is my life
    I cry in my sleep - (Cry boy, Cry boy)
    Just makes me weep when i try, how i cry
    Know what it means to work hard on machines
    It's a labour of love so please don't ask me why
    Working for reason - (Day in, Day out)
    Trying to hard - (He's trying too hard)
    Moving in circles - (Too hot, Too hot)
    Don't get very far - (Don't get very far)
    Should i ask you to dance - (Dance Boy, Dance Boy)
    If i promise romance would you come for the ride
    I know what it means to work hard on machines
    Will you believe in love, one that lasts for all time
    You take me up - Oh Hoh
    You take me up to the higher ground
    You take me up, so high
    Now i never want to come back down
    I'm gliding these hard time - (Day in, Day out)
    There's hope in your eyes - (Hope in his eyes)
    I don't need a religon - (Too hot, Too hot)
    Cos' this love never dies - (Love never dies)
    I believe in today - (Believe boy, Believe boy)
    It's better that way and you work through the night
    I know what it means to work hard on machines
    It's a labour of love so please don't ask me why
    You take me up - Oh Hoh
    You take me up to the higher ground
    You take me up, so high
    Now i never want to come back down
    I cry in my sleep - (Cry boy, Cry boy)
    Just makes me weep when i try, how i cry
    I know what it means to work hard on machines
    It's a labour of love so please don't ask me why
    You take me up - Oh Hoh
    You take me up to the higher ground
    You take me up, so high
    Now i never want to come back down
    You take me up - Oh Hoh
    You take me up to the higher ground
    You take me up, so high
    Now i never want to come back down

    Boy I mis the 80s so much. Too bad they don.t send a time machine my way... Cause I'd be out of here. Yesterday. Change my soul forever.

    Brilliant... I'm so fortunate to have been raised through all these wonderful songs (born 1970).

    Love this song. I loved and love all the 80s music, but this one brings back so many amazing memories, I recall it was a party in around mid 80s, and met a girl, danced to this song all night. Saw her once more after, but nothing happened between us, but the song brings back this memory of that party and that time period. So good and just a great, timeless music.

    Tbh, I have never heard that song before and I was 19-20 when they were popular in the mid-80s. It's impressive, should have been a single here in Canada, or NZ where I was for a time back then. I must admit, I never actually bought an LP or cassette of theirs, but relied on the radio and RTR Countdown!

      Absolutely 💯 Donna. I'm 46 year old Irishman. We loved TOTP over here on Thursday evenings weekly.
      This is a superb song, so positively infused lyrics. Very underrated song by the Thompson Twins. Has a very Culture Club feel to it.

    Thompson twins didn't need guitars to make great music !!

    • @theglavine

      But one of their most underrated tunes was Nothing In Common that was driven by a lead guitar so they could do that oo!

    My favourite band of all time. Under-rated, as on the surface they get judged on We Are Detective etc. But their 3/4/5/6/7 albums are pure joy, not to mention the 2x Babble albums. And also check out Tom's 2018 solo album Science Fiction. Fantastic. A cross between Close to the Bone and Big Trash
