    You gone too far this time
    But I'm dancing on the valentine
    I tell you somebody's fooling around
    With my chances on the dangerline
    I'll cross that bridge when I find it
    Another day to make my stand, oh..
    High time is no time for deciding
    If I should find a helping hand, oh..
    So why don't you use it
    Try not to bruse it
    Buy time don't lose it
    (chorus)
    The reflex is an only child, he's waiting in the park
    The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
    And watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre
    Every little thing the reflex does leaves you answered with a
    Question mark
    I'm on a ride and I want to get off
    But they wont slow down the roundabout
    I sold the renoir and the tv set
    Don't want to be around when this gets out
    (chorus) (chorus)
    The reflex is an only child, he's waiting by the park
    The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
    And watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre
    Every little thing the reflex does is an answer with a
    Question mark
    (chorus) (chorus)
    The reflex is an only child, he's waiting by the park
    The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
    And watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre
    Every little thing the reflex does leaves me answered with a
    Question mark
    Oh, the reflex what a game he's hiding all the cards
    The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
    And watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre
    Every little thing the reflex does leaves you answered with a
    Question mark

    As a guy growing up in the eighties I hated Le Bon, probably because he was the guy I most wanted to be!🤯

    I was ten when the song was released, so I didn't live the impact that this USA and UK nº1 among other countries had in the world. I got to know Duran's music in 1984 in the summer when Arena was released. While watching this vid I was imagining that the song was being showed for the first time on a TV show and that at that time the power that it had must had been astonishing.

    Catchy, innovative and creative...so 80s..I so wish I had been 20s at this time. I wasn't born when this was out. Was only a baby in the 80s/ a 90s kid really. I missed all the good life.

  • @LaeLaMarley
    @LaeLaMarley 5 років тому +4

    They look so amazing still , I know I still got a huge crush on nick lol . I really appreciate the past music more because it’s energetic and boppy and poppy and I just love the way it brings a message to me in a way for not only this song but every song in the 80s pretty much .

    • @lewstone1934
      @lewstone1934 7 років тому +10

      So what... TOTP was nearly always lip sync'ed - but the artists had talent, and their catchy, memorable songs were not 6 minute whining dirges a' la 2017..

  • @shortstackfan4eva
    @shortstackfan4eva 11 років тому +2

    they had a lot on this show lip synced. like nearly all of it because i think they just couldn't be bothered with the technical stuff screwing up on tv and it took time to set up everything.

    00:10 - LOL ... Simon almost forgot to put the microphone to his mouth. But hey, every other band and artist that appeared on TOTP lip synched anyway. I don't think anyone ever performed live on TOTP ... hmmm ... they always played the single and the band/artist always mimed.
