Lyrics:

We were so young, we were too vain
Dance in the dark, sing in the rain
Time on our hands, hope in our hearts

We were talking, passing strangers
Moments caught across an empty room
Wasted whispers, faded secrets
Quickly passes, time goes, time goes by too soon

We stood alone, silent and proud
Moments unknown, lost in a crowd
Running through memories like thieves in the night
Clutching emotions, holding too tight
Hope turns to dust, shattered by light

We were talking, passing strangers
Moments caught across an empty room
Wasted whispers, faded secrets
It quickly passes, time goes, time goes by too soon

We were talking, passing strangers
Moments caught across an empty room
Wasted whispers, faded secrets
It quickly passes, time goes, time goes by too soon

We were talking, passing strangers
Moments caught across an empty room
Wasted whispers, faded secrets

Midge best decision Ultravox ever made!!!

[NancyIsEverything]

I remember buying this album in 1981. I thought everything was beautiful on it; the lyrics, voices, and music. Hauntingly beautiful. I still have this album with its jacket on and receipt showing where I was on this planet when I purchased it. Music is life.

[bxmachine]

Warren Cann. Massively underrated drummer.

[simonkenny]

Sounds just as good as it did back then. Easily stands the test of time.

[mikeshaffner]

Great Drummer made great groove for Ultravox

[nenawoore]

When I was a teenager I LOVED this video, ran out and bought the album ! We had a new New wave dance club called " Stargaze " in Fremont California. They played a lot of Ultrvox, Visage and other great bands. The BEST time of my life ! Thank you Ultravox for bringing us pure joy ! ❤

[yellowstag]

Ultravox easily one of the best electronic bands of the 80’s alongside OMD early human league and depeche mode 👍👍👍

[VadimDSKrty]

Ultravox - пласт в электронной музыке, это просто отдельный шедевр

[xiphocostal]

God, I haven't heard this in decades. He has an awesome voice.

[SinisterPuppy]

There's always something comforting about music from the 80s. Thanks for releasing this HD remaster. Time is indeed flying by faster with memories fading.

[richardikin]

The instrumental part that starts at 2:26 is one of my all-time favourites.

[dimibartolillo]

Ultravox has been my fave band for the past 40 years. Still going strong and loving the 40th Anniversary Box Set of "Vienna".

[doc.strangelove]

One of my fav Ultravox video. Midge wearing eyeliner is my crush 🖤

[markhunter]

That takes me back, would love to go back to the 80’s

[lordmuntague]

Oh boy. This is just perfection, the opening set of tracks on the Vienna album are sheer magic.

[ebutuoytm]

Still listening to this phenomenal band after 40 years. I literally destroyed the tape I had through playing it too much. I found it in the glove box of a Ford Escort my brother was given back in the 80's. Wish I could go back! Time really does go by too soon :{

[madbyronmaniac]

It's wonderful to see both people of all ages and countries being united through this marvellous, amazing song! ¡¡Viva Ultravox!!

[positivelastaction]

Kings of new romantic new wave, perhaps new wave in general.

[paranormalpendle]

Take me back in time to The Blitz Club, dress me in something flamboyant and play the whole of the Vienna album. Sheer perfection.

[chrisbg]

I was 15 years old ...thanks for the memories...time goes by to soon 😉
