People accuse me of living in the 80's and not moving with the times, well the 80's have all my best memories and the greatest part of my life, i move with the times, you have to, just my heart still lives for the 80's, and it was and is and always will have the best music ever.

Turned 60 last week & still a young 21 year old from the 80s❤

temptation is the song everyone remembers but always preferred this...

This song will always remind me of.........Fell in love with a girl called Clare from Bolton who was on holiday in Butlins Bognor Regis...... Happy days....

Ein toller Song, brings back wonderful memories

Underrated band, in my opinion, especially in the USA where I live. I always thought the lead singer had a great voice. To me this is one of the things that defined the 80's; great singing talents. Its a shame these times are so far behind us now but on the other hand I am grateful that I lived through these times.

'If half the things they say, are a quarter true of me'. Awesome lyrics, I bought this single back then, 15 years old. Nothing now compares.

Fantastic Band Heaven17, TRULY one of the GREAT 80's bands.

a 1980's masterpiece... i can remember cycling around the country roads of north Colchester listening to this on my Sony Walkman all those years ago... It still holds its own - a timeless piece of music :-)

I have liked Heaven 17 since I was a kid, I'm now in my 50's I saw them live last November absolutely superb 🎼🎵🎶

This brings back memories of a long hot summer from 1983, singing along to this with my friends as it blasted from the car radio! Good times!

you tube is like my own personal time machine , takes you to a better place

Only a a team of geniuses can write such a song like this, just listen to the chord changes...my god... THANKS Martyn & Co.!!!

Thanks for the upload.Takes me back to happier times.I'm in my late 50's now and I'm happily single. I cannot imagine having a younger partner and this song sums up why.It's like two different worlds colliding.

Penthouse & pavement was a classic album ❤️🇬🇧

Wish I've had Glenn's voiceWhat a marvelous track concerning modern romance and melancholy

in the 80s i spend some time in Paris, the clothes and styles were the BEST, 80s decade rules so hard. new times are just torture, really.

I love this song. It still sound good today 30 years after its first release. Its a brilliantly crafted song. Fantastic.

stunning intelligent lyrics bittersweet melody i love it

this is the best music of the 80s does not get any better than this how I wish I was still there

awesome bought this when it came out the 12inch never ended unless you picked the needle or record arm up great memories

Le Select Montparnasse, Superb !!! I meet a French lady in there once, we danced till 3am. Happy 1980's sweet memories, I can still smell the Chanel and sweet croissants hot from the oven, viva la France.

listening to this with my headphones blasting in 2015.....still sounds fikkin class x

The early 80s wrapped up in 3 and a half minutes. Perfection.

I'm like that cop, Gene Hunt, in the TV series, 'Ashes To Ashes', I'm stuck in the 80s!

incredible band love this song so much a great decade the 80s

very nice song that brings back so many happy memories

Some songs touch the individual, as they have experienced it ... this is one of them!.

Glenn was only 24 in this video. Clever how they made him look older.

Martyn and Ian were Synthpop Royalty, just ask other synthesiser players/programmers? Glenn had a great voice. It was a recipe for sucess!

Quien escucha este tema en el 2021!!!??????

Wow fantastic still in 2021

One of my top five songs from the eighties - oh to go back again::))

great to hear this again still sounds great,,,great band

Soundtrack to my life in the 80's. Special memories.

one of the best singles of the 80s!

brings back so many good memories........ My dad says "you never had the 50s" but he .... never had the 80s ;-)

Classic heaven17 track..really miss tve 80s !!

So much running in 80's videos. And then there's the metaphore of the boiled egg..... so round, so sexy, so full of protein... Great song - one of my faves on The Luxury Gap

I love this song so much its so romantic and passionate but sad its a beautiful song by heaven 17 kiss the boys goodbye an older man and young girl

great track the strong are sometimes wrong but the weak are never free happy memories of early 80s

When I was 20 I was in a brief relationship with a 50 year old man. He wanted me to move in to his gorgeous farmhouse with him. It was tempting but I knew that it would never work due to the age difference. I was just arm candy and he liked to show me off to his friends. I loved the attention and he seemed to adore me but we were together for the wrong reasons. A few months later I met my first husband who was my age and whilst the marriage didn’t work he will always be my ride or die.

fantastic tune, love these lads xx

I miss the 80's too

80s synthpop perfection.

beautiful song

A truly fabulous song and video to match.

What a lovely song the age gap didn't matter back in the 80s it seem to be the thing going out with younger guys or girls I think its more acceptable today it doesn't seem to matter

The last decade of MIND over Matter & man before machine.

Now 35 years later he's 72 an she's 52!

simply amazing still sounds fresh

1985 Paris.... the place to be, fond memories.

Just how good is the 80's music

That 80s sound!

Amo essa música!

Still have all my 12 inch from back then this being one of them I was a huge H17 can still have penthouse and pavement all in plastic sleeves .monkey house what a song and no gdm dedicated to Quentin crisp brilliant club song from 82 kiss me Steven tin tin Duffy superb God wish I was 18 again loved the early 80s as a new romantic although some of my clothes and shoes were questionable.

By far my most Favourite track of their's!, with tell them this is mine in 2nd!.

"I was 37, you were 17"... there have been political scandals about that kind of stuff.

37 after a 17 year old is just wrong BUT this is a brilliant song!

Though years will not erase rememberence of those days.

glad this song was released in the 80s, it would be so triggering if this song condone a relationship between 37 and 17 year old teenager.

brilliant song

Love this. Funny really. Wouldn't of admitted this in the 80s. Aye I've grown up a smidge now. And who's gonna slate pablo anyway. Haha.

FILMED IN THE CITY OF LOVE, PARIS, J'ADORE, OH OUI !

If ever a song could transport one back a two and a half decades to a carefree time where the only real decision to be made that day was to had a king cone or a cornetto, This my cyber friends is it!! That long hot summer of eighty three,is hither too uneclipsed for me!!

I prefer the John Shuttleworth Lyrics ... "I was 34, you were 17, exactly half my age, the youth I'd never seen" :D

Also released in 1983, and with a video filmed in Paris: Howard Jones - What Is Love

his hair color is really something

Wow heaven 17 at there best

Absolutely love this

Ha....this was always a really grown-up and cool 80s song and still is......He's no longer 37, I'm afraid!

Reached no.5 in 1983..should have been higher

That egg opener is amazing

havent heard this in years thanks for the upload

Beautifully said - fiction true to life

How much things have changed…today you would get the jail for the age gap

i played this to a girl and she came to live with me she was 19 she was beatiful intelligent best time of my life i told ina few years you will leave me for younger man i hate being right

A whole Lotta people would've been in trouble back then

Nice to see Keith Lemon putting in an appearance at the end of this video, great song though!

Huh huh, hey Beavis, that guy wants you to come live with him.

The opening lyric is probably the reason its not played on BBC. Bigots......

Draco Malfoy in his pre Harry potter pop career :-)

I've just watched _Smalltown Boy_ by Bronski Beat before this, and both have eggs in their video. That's weird

The girl in the video looks older than 17 in fact she looks older than Glen lol great track though!

He's 37 and she 17? That would never be accepted in the #MeToo movement.

cherbourg 1983

im was 37 You was 17❤

If he was 37 and she was 17 she would 45.9% of his age. Somewhat less than 50%.

Do like this song

Haven't seen this before. Srsly in those days we thought 37 was really old and not a whippersnapper! Thanks for sharing - though the never-proven "fair use exemption" simply doesn't apply, so why the reference to it? ;)

Last shot is a bit "Citizen Kane"

la ropa que lleva Glen Gregory es muy 2020

Lyrics a lil questionable but great tune 🎶

What year was this? I remember really liking this when I was younger.

Great!

0:25, wow is that UK comedian Ben Miller I see in the reflection, uncanny.

epicness!

Was she seventeen because it rhymes. What if she was twenty six.

i love the track yet glad heaven didnt follow in footsteps of human league !

Been trying to find the meaning of this song and video but it is elusive. Why does she end her life and what does "kiss the boys goodbye" mean in the context of the song?
