Red Skies by The Fixx

Lyrics:
Red skies at night
(red skies at night)
Wo oh, wo oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Red skies at night
(red skies at night)
Wo oh, wo oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Should have taken warning
It was just, people mourning,
running, hiding, lost
Couldn't find, find a place to go

So it's Red skies at night
(red skies at night)
Oh oh, wo oh oh oh oh

Should have taken warning
Was just, people ignoring,
running, hiding, lust
Couldn't find, find a place to go

So it's Red skies at night
(red skies at night)
Wo oh, wo oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Red skies at night, red skies at night
Wo oh, wo oh oh

Someone's taking over
And it looks like they're aiming right at you
Someone says, "We'll be dead by morning"
Someone cries, leaving

Red eyes at night, red eyes at night
Oh, wo oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Red skies at night, red skies at night, red skies at night (4x)
Red {echo
Skies {echo
At {echo
Night
Red skies at night, red skies at night
Wo oh, wo oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Red skies at night, red skies at night
Wo oh, wo oh oh oh oh oh

I personally like this version of "Red Skies" the most. You get a "doomsday" vibe from it. Awesome video too !!!

Fresno, California, 1986 or 87, Front of the audience, to the right.  What a great concert.  I jogged to this for years; it is a great beat and strong message that is poetry in sound waves and moves our heart.  Perfect song for today.  Thank you, The Fixx

I saw this band in concert London in 1986 cant think of the venue but it was near Highgate cemetary.This was their most outstanding track.Still powerful today

This is my favorite video to watch when listening to this beautiful classic song. I can listen to this song all day and just takes me back to so many wonderful memories.

[jacklao]

When I heard this melody for the first time, I thought he said
'Brett's got a knife, oh oh oh oh oh..'
Excellent video!

[hugecowboyfan]

I absolutely love this song so much. My favorite song by the FIXX

[GregoryAlanBaileygamereviews]

They play this on Coast To Coast AM all the time. Great song. 

[MembrainJ]

In my opinion there is nothing like the 80's for great music.

Thanks For Putting This Version On!!!

Now this is what I remember hearing from the early 80's.

[markrichardson]

Another 80's song that still holds up. Seems to me (note that I said me) that songs in the 80's had more to say. then again that maybe just me ...

[chrisdanzell]

Takes me way back, love, love this song.

[RODERICKMOLASAR]

Double plus wonderful sound. But I've never heard this particular version before. Spaciba, comrade.

[THEFNFAL]

this was my first concert I loved it with the flock of seagulls I feel old loved it though miss my sister

[DoubleVisionandco]

In the early 80's many of us believed we would be killed in the Nuclear war, which was where this song came from. Just like other songs at the time such as "It's A Mistake" by Men At Work. Great work on the Vid.
Someone's taking over
And it looks like they're aiming
Right at you
Someone said "We'll be dead by morning"
Someone cries...
Leaving red eyes at night...

[walterfechter]

This one still sends a resonant chill down my spine. As if the hands on The Doomsday Clock just moved to within a few minutes shy of midnight.
