    Lyrics:
    Sleepwalk
    Sleepwalk
    Sleepwalk
    Rolling and falling
    I'm choking and calling
    Name after name after name
    Sleepwalk
    Sleepwalk
    Sleepwalk
    Naked and bleeding
    The streetlights stray by me
    Hurting my eyes with their glare
    Sleepwalk
    Sleepwalk
    Sleepwalk
    Helplessly breaking
    Exchanging my faces
    Destined, we had to collide
    Sleepwalk!
    Taut on the outside
    I'm crumpling and crawling
    Watching the day drag away
    Spiraling deeper
    I can't feel my fingers
    Grip round my throat as I dream
    Dream, dream, dream, dream, dream, dream
    Sleepwalk
    Sleepwalk
    Sleepwalk
    Sleepwalk
    Sleepwalk
    Sleepwalk
    Sleepwalk
    Sleepwalk
    Sleepwalk
    Sleepwalk
    Sleepwalk

      Born 71, and I still am a huge fan of Ultravox. It was this track and Vienna that got me into it, I was into various groups before especially Gary Numan and Roxy music. Once the 70s and 80s ended and all the bands disappeared, the fun and passion went out of music and I switched off the charts for good, buried myself in heavy metal and nostalgia until they reformed and I was a teenager once more!!

    Saw them in early 83 when I was 14. Standing room full of rolling college students. This is how it looked when they opened with this song. Close enough to touch the stage and it was loud as F. It was like being at a house party. Guy in front of me collapsed. He went a little too hard.😳😆. They killed. Great to see Billy Currie working away where you can see everything. I’m pretty sure he brought a synclavier. It had a timber case around it.
    And I guess I’m a man of many short sentences 🤣.

    Bought the single of this in summer ‘80, aged 11. Still love it- Billy’s ARP solo is majestic and it’s a great arrangement throughout. B-side “Waiting” was also very good. I now prefer the early John Foxx era Ultravox! stuff and his solo work, but Vienna remains a classic album, with an excellent sequence of strong songs.

    • @stephenalanmoore7278
      @stephenalanmoore7278 2 місяці тому

      It was their first single with Midge Ure, so presumably Chrysalis didn't want to spend too much money on promoting them until they had proven themselves.
      All things considered, getting to No29 with their debut single isn'too bad because a lot of first singles don't even reach the charts at all or chart even lower.
      For instance, Depeche Mode's equally good debut single 'Dreaming Of Me'/'Ice Machine' only got to No57 and OMD's 'Electricity' never charted al all.

    The 1980 album "Vienna" is a good album. But for me Ultravox was much better with founding member and front man John Foxx, guitarist Stevie Sheers (later replaced by guitarist Robin Simon). I saw Ultravox in concert with John Foxx and Robin Simon in March, 1979 at the Whiskey A Go-Go in West Hollywood, California. I was 23 years old back then. Excellent concert!

      The bootlegs from that tour show Mr Foxx eventually resorting to speaking his lyrics rather than singing them. Either his voice had given out, or the resentment between him and the rest of the band had reached its nadir.

      "Hiroshima Mon Amour' is the greatest ballad of the 20th century. The poetry alone should've won a Pultizer Prize

      @@undergroundwarrior70.........HA HA HA is insanely great, and Hiroshima is an incredible song for sure. There's some other recordings of them playing it live. SO open to interpretation just like grief is. I'm hoping to do a cover played only on violin and saxophone soon.
      It's SO cool you saw them at the Whiskey! My friend was there, he was blown away. Foxx was a great performer!!

      @@barrysmith8920 And he still is. There is film footage of him and guitarist Robin Simon performing live on UA-cam. The one song I remember at the Whiskey A-Go-Go that John sang is "Touch and Go" which is on his 1980 debut solo album 'Metamatic'. John's movements on stage while he was singing "Touch and Go" was very cool. I was right up front center stage and I held up my right hand up as high as I could and John bended down and gave me a 5 while singing. I don't remember which song it was when he gave me the 5.
