Lyrics:

Written by Steve Harley

You've done it all, you've broken every code
And pulled the rebel to the floor
You've spoilt the game, no matter what you say
For only metal, what a bore

Blue eyes, blue eyes, how come you tell so many lies?

Come up and see me, make me smile
Or do what you want, running wild

There's nothing left, all gone and run away
Maybe you'll tarry for a while
It's just a test, a game for us to play
Win or lose, it's hard to smile

Resist, resist, it's from yourself you've got to hide

Come up and see me, make me smile
Or do what you want, running wild

There ain't no more, you've taken everything
From my believe in Mother Earth
Can you ignore my faith in everything
'Cause I know what faith is and what it's worth

Away, away, and don't say maybe you'll try

To Come up and see me, make me smile
Or do what you want, running wild

Ooh la la la, ooh la la la aah

Come up and see me, make me smile
Or do what you want, running wild
Come up and see me, make me smile
Or do what you want, running wild

Much as I admire Erasure but I have to say the Duranies covered this brilliantly, that's why I bought the Reflex single back in 84

[MoundN]

I love how the music video doesn't make a lick of sense but that doesn't bother anyone bc the song is a banger. used to listen and dance to this one when i was like 6. great memories.
