LYRICS:
Waves, then goodbye
I live in a wafer thin dream
I, I can cry
You know that time, time's not kind
But I remember the way we were
Slow, slow sad love
I wonder do you miss my love
I know you can't
It's just a wave passing over me
What are these waves?
They're coming over me
It must be my destiny
Waves, coming by
Goodbye, goodbye
What are these waves?
They're coming over me
It must be my destiny
#Blancmange #Waves

I never understood why they weren`t more successful, a brilliant band with a sense of humour, and great songs.

How much more successful could they have been?

They just don't make music this good anymore. The 80's videos were so incredible and we did not realize it.

I think anyone from this era could miss some great songs because the decade was full of so much talent. There are songs I like I never heard back then and also songs I hated back then I love now. 😃

I met these guys when they did a gig in Plymouth back in the mid-80s. They autographed their album copies for me. It was such a brilliant gesture, I have never thought of parting with them, despite what they may be worth. Great song from a great time. Doubt if that time - 60s, 70s and 80s will ever be repeated.

I remember bringing the Video 45 (side note: kudos to the genius at Sony that took the new wave era & places an artists 2-4 great videos for fans to enjoy) to a friend who had never heard them & this being the middle of that trilogy of artistic celluloid greatness … this brings me more yearning for a dvd of their treasures to put on repeat & re-live my Saturday Rock Over London broadcasts that featured them continuously… still holds up 40 years later … thank you for cleaning this old chestnut for a beautiful vision

I was down an 80s music rabbit hole, a few days back. Stumbled across this forgotten little gem, and even the kids like it. I will have to hunt for this at my next visit to the vinyl record shop. I remember the video, as I bought the video EP on VHS - showing my age now! - which had “Blind Vision” and “Living On A Ceiling” on it.
