Lyrics:
Inside everyone hides one desire
Outside no one would know
Danger close to edge of the knife
Safer not to let go
And while we miss chances
You can almost hear time slipping away
We close our eyes we never lose a game
Imagination never lets us take the blame
We close our eyes to see the final frame
We close our eyes to time slipping away
No show Wednesday girl waits with the wine
She knows just what to say
While no one listens
You can almost hear time slipping away
We close our eyes we never lose a game
Imagination never lets us take the blame
We close our eyes to see the final frame
We close our eyes and
We can talk to strangers
We are burning with the spark
And we can walk on water
We are tigers in the dark
We are burning
We close our eyes
Heroes never give into the night
He knows how far he can run
And as he surrenders
You can almost hear time slipping away
We close our eyes we never lose a game
Imagination never lets us take the blame
We close our eyes to see the final frame
We close our eyes

"Oh, you're in a band? Cool! What do you play?"
"...wrench."
Hahahaha
Ahaha
Hey that’s crescent wrench!
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂☺️
Nice one!
Sinth, radio, a cup of coffe and my girl. Perfect friday at night in 80s middle.
19th February 2020 blasting out this banger. Why not?!
I feel like this should've been played in Goonies or something👌👌🔥
Goodbye Girl from the same album is a beautiful ballad. 2021!
2:17 Best bit.
I miss the 90 all the time
This was the 80's.
Go West is amazing 🤩
Listen loud on headphones to experience the fat bass synth.. ❤
Excelent band go west
Ooh great song..🤩🎊❤️
This is cool
How doesn't this have more views?

Godley and Creme (of 10CC) directed the video and decided to give Peter a wrench. Peter and Richard actually showed up in suits at the set but Godley and Creme wanted Peter to wear the clothing he wore on a daily basis (which, back in the day, was a vest and jeans) and smeared a whole lot of oil on Peter😂
Another brilliant eighties tune ?!
My wires been jawed after you smacked it with a nine iron but look at me!! Look how I managed 😮
He surly likes his wrench’s
Heroes never give into the night
Imagine being 80’s twisted on the Charlie & dancing with a wrench, those were the days
So cool 😎 doesn't matter what decade it is
Essas músicas que é boa dos anos 80 não as de hoje.

It's still no different in the year 2031 I was held for ransome by the browns the Autrums there holding up my wife Drew for over 1 million a year
This video is proof that cocaine was EVERYWHERE in the 80's
😂😂😂👍
Why did I always think this was Level 42
the vocalists do some similar
He has so much soul in his voice…incredible singer. This band brings it every time.
I have met Richard and Peter.
Two of the nicest blokes you could ever meet. They havnt let fame get to their heads. They are so down to earth and always take time to chat with you
You're Aussie👍
They do seem humble and nice
I missed a lot of the 80's music due to working punishing hours but boy have I caught up since.😃
@@zeptepiantraveller British more likely.
Am sure ,they seem so nice guys
This is in my top 10 tracks of all time. It brings back so much nostalgia I love it
I agree this is an awesome song energy and adrenaline 1985
It sure does, wow!
Aye me too,great memories of a great era
His voice is SO smooth. Like there are no cracks for higher or lower notes. He just transitions into it so smoothly.
+1 , very underrated vocally , had just enough of an edge to voice without sounding "rough"
The vocals weren’t a wrench at all!
I’ll see myself out….
I think Peter can hit notes like Robert Palmer, very good singer, listening to go west in 2021 😁🖤

Cool song, now get back to fixing my pipes.

Oh god, thanks for the tears of laughter, I needed it.
The 80s were the best ❤
They were so much fun. And so many artists. And I had meant different personas, which was fun. Now I'm 63
Saw Go West in Sydney on 17 March 2024…still nailing this song! Great sound!
its actually a bloody good song
it is
It is!!
Someone build a bloody Timemachine so we can Get Back to this Amazing Decade 👏
If Only I know But who knows never say never !!!
Trouble is everyone would want to go back and no one would live in this time zone as it’s so shit! 🙈😂
They wouldn't even believe how good that decade was!@@startracker5895

OMG!! ThanQ. Forgot re "Broken wings!! ThanQ.
Listening to music from 1985 the year I went to boarding school.. So much fun x
Gonna have fun listening all the way up to 1990..
Surreal how it plunges you back..
Despite the chaos currently, the BEST is yet to come!
This song hits just as hard as it did when was I was a 14-year old starry-eyed teenage girl back in1984. Good times!!
I worked at Chrysalis Records in L.A. and am so proud of the wonderful music we put out. Staff loved GO WEST!
I'm just hearing this song for the first time at 26 years old. The 80s had some really really good music, crazy all these songs have existed for my entire life and even before and I'm just now hearin em.
@@supahdupahplayahmacknumbah1 Every decade produces some good music. The 80's had great bands. The 60's, of course had The Beatles, the Woodstock Nation music and Motown as well. The 50's had Frank Sinatra, and the Dick Clark Bandstand. The music is there and with UA-cam, ready to be heard. Glad you liked Go West and good listening to you!!
I also was born in 1970. The 80's was the best decade OF ALL TIME...I miss it so much....
i was a 14 yr old boy yes they were the best times..awesome time to have grown up in.
There aren't too many songs where every element is just perfect but this is one of them - but mostly what a vocal performance!
he's a plumber that just felt like taking a break and start singing with his wrench
Made me laugh :) I've often thought how odd it would be if people just started singing in musical fashion, in real life.. like at the office. People would be getting escorted out the door :)
😂😂😂
The music from the 80's, made my high school years, special.
Hearing ya..luv from Oz
Takes me immediately back to being a kid. How lucky were we?
#80sKid
SO MUCH....
Social media has destroyed the world but every cloud..
We get to relive great memories with 80's classics.
We we so lucky we got to watch cartoons every day of the week and play outside to name a few.
Very. Very lucky.

This hit me differently 🙏
Profound
Which book was that from? Or was that just an outside quote?
Nice quote and nice brain for being astute enough for picking it👍
AHUH... 😔😒😒😒😒🙄🙄🙄🤔
My wife and I saw Go West on their 1986 tour in Portland at the Starry Night (iirc). What a phenomenal live band! Pure energy and every bit as good as the cassette that I wore out. You had to be there. One of the most memorable bands I've seen live up close and personal.
So
What was the lineup
Which was?
I miss My Go West cassette 😢 too. Such great music♥️.
Starry Night in Portland, OR was a special venue. I saw Echo and the Bunnymen there, as well as Psychedelic Furs. Devo, too.
Such a classic, quintessentially 80's song! So, glad I grew up during this time!
A--MEN!!
Me too
60-year-old grandma here. I had so much fun in the '80s. I had my shoulder pads, semi-big hair, purple eyeshadow, and loved every second of it. Would love to time travel back for a day.
Word
I came for the vocals and left with new dance moves ...
😂
😂
Captures all the excitement and exhuberance of the 80s!
1985
Exactly!!!!!
Yup, not as well known as other 80s tunes, but it doesn't get more quintessentially 80s than this!
@@alechagen6291 Totally right.
When your plumber has drank too many Red Bulls! 😁

Go West 1985
😃😃
That's hilarious!!!
Best comment🤣🤣🤣
What a voice.
Ladies and gentlemen.... THE 80's!
when was that
My teen years. Best of my years
I miss the 80's. I was born in 2001.
My teen years also and music back then was soooo great and still is. Lol
80s was my pub crawling and clubbing years, fond memories of copping off on a Saturday night.
This music video is so 80s I fucking love it!!
80's music will always be best music by far . Takes me back to good times ♥️♥️♥️
Came out in 1985, sounds just as good 37 years later.
This is a legitimate great song, great video (Directed by Godley and Creme) and is one of many forgotten gems from the 1980's.
It is as great as anything that came out from that decade, and it was the best decade ever for music.
I'll say.
I wish they made music like this now
This is a great song, but I'm sorry.. the 80s is one of the worst ever decades for music.
@@JackWilkos The 80's is one of the worst ever decades for music, your very much in the minority there Jack!
If that was the case also why is there so many films/TV shows, TV Documentaries, over past 15 years set in the 80's!
3 music channels on TV dedicated to just 80's music, there were so much different styles of music in the 80's!
From Indie, Alternative, House, Pop, Rock, Pop/Rock, Reggae, New Wave, Heavy Metal, Rap, etc......
almost brings me to tears , damn i miss those days, i feel sorry for the kids today never knowing the life we had back then
Yes it makes me sad to know I can only experience those days through movies and music. But at the same time, I feel grateful that we at least have that because without movies and music those times would truly be lost! Only living on in the memories of those who were there.
It also brings tears to my eyes...in my hometown, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic🇩🇴🌺we went to different clubs, especially on matinee Sundays! Those clubs were by the Caribbean sea; and this song is so part of those memories.
My 9 year old daughter thinks the 80s rule. We break out the Tears for Fears, Nik Kershaw, Go West, etc on an almost daily basis. Current pop music is abysmal by comparison. I'm glad I can show her what real music sounds like.
I take a slight inspiration from 2112 Rush because I wish I could be in a band and atleast be remembered before I pass away but I listen so I can feel it
@@DcComfy2011 i love Rush, one of my fav bands
One of my favourite songs ever. Such a classic.
I cant believe this song was released in 1985 , I was 9 but I remember it like yesterday
Simple. Engaging. Physically fit. The 80s personified.
What have we become?

80s music will never die! ❤
Never! 😍💃🕺😎😎😎😎😎
@miavega8888
No, it just smells a little rank...
So agree.. Just doesnt get any better..😁
....but it did, hahahahha.
Still listening 2020 love the 80s music so much more than modern music
Modern is relative and the 80s isn't that old
I hear yah!!! Love 80s music!!!! Miss it so much, and the many concerts I went to! All those muscle t-shirts!
@@benarmstrong6904 What? 35 years is about half a lifetime
Ben Armstrong dumbass comment. You’re not as smart or enlightened as you like to pretend and OP’s comment still stands.
No. 80s were horrible. If we only pay attention to the music it will be the wrong picture. So many bad, cringeworthy, thimgs
Director: no no no...shake the wrench more.....
Lol. FUCK IT ,WHO NEEDS C.G.I WHEN YOU HAVE A RENCH .

Yeeeeeessssss ppl who's bouncing wit the air guitar round the kitchen in 2023 much ♥️💯 from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪
One of the coolest bass-lines in music
That’s why I love this song!
Damned right!
Teenager in the 80s how lucky 🎉
Kissed 💋 on the 🐓
I bought the 7" back in 1985. 😀
I closed my eyes while driving and woke up at the bottom of a canal. I was medically dead for three minutes and spent a month in hospital with multiple fractures. Whenever I hear this song, I remember the terrible pain, the years of physiotherapy and how my girlfriend left me.
she's a pos then. Many fish my bro, many many fish
And still here to tell about it. I’m glad…
Every once in a while, there's a perfect tune that comes along --- that checks all the boxes in your head, from melody, to lyrics, to the character of a voice... to even the corniness of a music video (albeit a dated marker for the era), that makes a song timeless. This one's for me. There are other songs I like a lot, but I can listen to Peter Cox sing "We Close Our Eyes" on a loop for hours. Don't need to analyze it. Don't need to dissect it. It just works. As someone said below, and I agree. It's... a masterpiece.
He's the grandfather of crossfit.
s puentes too funny 😄

Underrated Song!!...Love Their Style!!....
Not underrated.It was a big hit.Do your research.
Typical silly UA-cam comment !
@@davidsiegfriedklinger2422 You speak the truth.
@@samkaur4098 Doesn't mean it can't be underrated to them, maybe they think it deserved to be an even bigger hit.
And maybe you should learn how to use a space after ending a sentence.
This song always reminds me of the summer of '85 and we were visiting family in Miami. This song was on the radio and the video on MTV. Such great memories and the song is so damn catchy. Thank you Go West
The wife and child are away at my inlaws for a few weeks and here i am in my vest and jeans absolutely blasting this track in the flat ! Neighbours are going nuts lol
Neighbors are Losers!
@russelldesertvikinganderso3386 I know right !
Just wield the wrench
best do it when they are NOT HOME🤫
Peter Cox: what have we got in the prop department?
Director: ...ummm, there's a wrench. Not sure it's a prop, I think that guy over there was using it.
Peter Cox: it'll have to do. How much should I wave it?
Director: yes.
He has a very big wrench LOL ;-)
L M A O!
Apparently he had the wrench because he couldn't play guitar .
The directors were Lol Creme and Kevin Godley. The greatest musical artists you have never heard of.
I like to think that Peter Cox just walked on set with that wrench and the director just went 'eh, let's run with it'.
The video was directed by Godley and Crème who made a lot of videos at that time. They even made a video for 10 CC, the band they were once part of. I remember them telling about the video for Go West that the thing he is carrying the whole time was very heavy. That was why he was sweating so much.
This is such a great song. Pure 80s excellence.
Inside everyone hides one desire
Outside no one would know
Danger close to the edge of the knife
Safer not to let go
And while we miss chances
You can almost hear time slipping away
We close our eyes we never lose a game
Imagination never lets us take the blame
We close our eyes to see the final frame
We close our eyes to time slipping away
No show Wednesday girl waits with the wine
She knows just what to say
While no one listens
You can almost hear time slipping away
We close our eyes we never lose a game
Imagination never lets us take the blame
We close our eyes to see the final frame
We close our eyes and
We can talk to strangers
We are burning with the spark
And we can walk on water
We are tigers in the dark
We are burning
We close our eyes
Heroes never give into the night
He knows how far he can run
And as he surrenders
You can almost hear time slipping away
We close our eyes we never lose a game
Imagination never lets us take the blame
We close our eyes to see the final frame
We close our eyes
Thanks for the lirycs
This song has a reference to Wednesdays child.
Monday's child is fair of face,
Tuesday's child is full of grace.
Wednesday's child is full of woe,
Thursday's child has far to go.
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for a living.
And the child born on the Sabbath days bonny and blithe, good and gay.
It also refers to gnostic beliefs that jesus when he said he was the son of God meant we all were...
I’m still listening to this masterpiece in 2023
My kitchen is the place to dance to this, where is the great music gone.
It died
@@StevenThomasAvalonSprinklers so sad Steve, we had the best music
No covid 19....just the 80s!!!!
FOREVER ⭐
Just aids
@@ajax4887 Unlike Covid, at least that could be prevented.
Saw them open for Heart touring this album and became an instant fan. Was blown AWAY by the bass lines and the lyrics are still underrated.
This is one of my favourite songs ever. It lifts my heart to another dimension 🙏
Absolutely love this song ever since I first heard it 😊
Spot-On-Bratha! 😎👊
their the British version of Hall and Oates
no, that was Wham, lol, as good as these guys were, Hall & Oates had a ton more success, and Wham were a lot closer
Ric Degre I agree with Nicholas Stevenson...These guy’s are in a league of their own. Brilliant observation.
They didn’t produce as many hits as Hall and Oates by a long way. They aren’t in the same league. I was a teenager in the 80’s I wouldn’t agree.
They are
Go West are better. Their attitude is better too
Sheer excellence despite the trend of overproduction at the time. One of the best records of the 80's.
Too bad this wonderful group had such a short life as a band. I got everything of theirs that was available and was hoping and waiting for more but it never came.
Paul you are so right. One of the best groups for sure.
I don't know if you've ever seen the discography...there's a great deal of material they've done over the years. I would say pretty much all of it is good too.
They've never stopped being a band and they're still touring pretty regularly. 🙂
@@kristeninthedirtysouth That might be true but I'm getting too old (62) to run around all over the country (or world) chasing after them with limited resources, especially during these trying times of COVID-19. There's also a slim to none chance that they'll show up in my state of Idaho anytime soon. If they did it would be in Boise which is a four-hour drive from where I am or in the Salt Lake City Utah area that's a two-hour drive away. I'll live.
@@paulbrown7064 I understand. No offense meant. I'm in Kentucky myself so I don't think they'll be coming around here either. Thank goodness for UA-cam though to see pretty much anything you want from classic bands like this!
I found this band when I was looking at Rick Astley’s profile on Spotify lol. I’ve been listening to Go West’s songs ever since I found them a few days ago haha
It's a lovely crazy song!
Love love love this song!! Have long forgotten about this song till I heard it on the radio just now!!! It's November 2021 and this song still tugs at my heartstrings! ❤️
I just heard this song on the wireless but I am going to be brutal so please don't take it personally.
This song is representative of a style of cookie cutter pop from the second half of the Eighties. It is slick but totally over produced; the musical equivalent of a severe sugar hit.
I grew up in the Eighties and I was so happy when the Nineties rolled round and rocked my world.
No decade will ever top the 80's!!!
Sorry 70's & 90's way better
Yep, 80's was the best. 😎👍

Missing the 80s
So lucky to be born in the 70's to have grown up with this in the 80's.
Music has not been the same since the late 70's and early 80's, that's for sure. I was born in the let 1960's and I agree with you fully!
Even luckier that I was born in 1960 and worked with these and many other musicians !
@@GraemeMurphy Truth!
The 80's were a magical time when being a teenager was just as amazing as the the music, movies and awesome 80's toy's! I miss it! 😔
The '80's "Original Knight Rider" toys & collectibles were truly the best.😊😉😎....🖖
Who remember watching this as a kid and keeping up with the continuous counter in the background?
Reliving memories of a teenager in the 80s.loved Go West their music is timeless.🎉
When I do my music video I'm going to dance with a watering can. The wrench was genius I wonder how they got to that.
They said, "Here hold this," and grabbed the closest thing in the room!
I think he was going for the plummer mechanic type
Both British. This was made a yea before Gabriel's Sledgehammer. It must have been a thing in mid-80s brit pop "up-tempo, white soul" sound and mixing in blue collar things into disjointed art.
He’s an actual plumber as a side hustle. He’s just keeping it real.
Always love dancing to this and Call Me.
80's greatness.
Love it
I’m just sitting in my works tool room and I noticed a large wrench hanging on the wall....it made me think of this video....so here I am !!! 😀
Admit it....you did it, didn’t you......the wrench dance?? lol.
