Lyrics:
Step by step
Heart to heart
Left, right, left
We all fall down
Like toy soldiers
It wasn't my intention to mislead you
It never should have been this way
What can I say?
It's true, I did extend the invitation
I never knew how long you'd stay
When you hear temptation call
It's your heart that takes, takes the fall
(Won't you come out and play with me?)
Step by step
Heart to heart
Left, right, left
We all fall down
Like toy soldiers
Bit by bit
Torn apart
We never win
But the battle wages on
For toy soldiers
It's getting hard to wake up in the morning
My head is spinning constantly
How can it be?
How could I be so blind to this addiction?
If I don't stop, the next one's gonna be me
Only emptiness remains
It replaces all, all the pain
(Won't you come out and play with me?)
Step by step
Heart to heart
Left, right, left
We all fall down
Like toy soldiers
Bit by bit
Torn apart
We never win
But the battle wages on
For toy soldiers
We never win
Only emptiness remains
It replaces all, all the pain
(Won't you come out and play with me?)
Step by step
Heart to heart
Left, right, left
We all fall down
Like toy soldiers
Bit by bit
Torn apart
We never win
But the battle wages on
For toy soldiers
Step by step
Heart to heart
Left, right, left
We all fall down
Like toy soldiers
Bit by bit
Torn apart
We never win
But the battle wages on
For toy soldiers

I think of this so often! I loved the '80s, it was magical to grow up then. Was it perfect? Nope. I struggle to look past my brain's normal-reflex to see only the best...& I do see the things I'd never want to experience again, like bullies & Dad's drinking. But God, how the GOOD overpowered the Bad! I will always miss that. Always.

Born in the 80s, grew up mostly in the early 90s, we did have the best childhood. The only “technology” we had was cable tv, and very early dial up “internet” which was locally run message boards and only text. My friends and I rode out bikes all summer, played with walkie-talkies, ran lemonade stands, climbed trees, make picnics, played outside til the street lights came on and mom was calling for us to come in. You couldn’t pay me to be a kid today.

Reminds me of my wife. She died October 22, 2018 at only the age of 46. So horribly sad after all she was battling in overcoming cancer, anemia, and epstein-barr diseases. This song reminds me of how we all fall down in grief of loved ones who have died and reminds us of our own mortality despite the vibrance and optimism of our youth. Life is precious. Loved ones and family are precious! Cherish the love before we all fall down like toy soldiers!

I'm crying uncontrollably right now. I was born 1971. This music (80's) is life. I watched my wife and mother pass away just a month apart from each other in 2013. Then my oldest brother lost his father, then his oldest son, and finally he himself. And now my own health is failing. I find comfort on coming on youtube to listen to the 80's music I grew up on, although it can make me tear up. I long for the old days when life was so much more simple and happy.

I graduated High School in 1989 and remember this song vividly. I didn't realize it then but the 80's was a magical decade and a certain innocence and simplicity has been lost since then. When I listen to these old songs I'm instantly transported back in time, and to be honest with you it depresses me somewhat because there is not going back.

I was born in 1980. I was a young kid when this song came out. My sister use to pop in a VHS tape and record MTV videos, hoping this song would play. When it did, that whole VHS tape was her and she would listen to this song over and over. I hated it but here I am, 32 years later, listening to this song, and going back to a happier time in life. Love the 80s.

Christa Varrone Sorry 70s kid here, my first music was watching Partridge Family TV Show 1970 -1974. I was kinda a ladies man in grade school the girls loved my IRISH Freckels on my face. Some kids wernt very nice they said is your whole Family a bunch of DRUNKS. That is kinda True most people think all IRISH are DRUNKS. I guess us IRISH are a little weird some born with Red Hair & Freckels covering our whole Body. Its funny Freckels disappear from our face but not the body. IRISH FOLKLORE says we get our Freckels from the Sun. That makes no sense IRISH Skin Burns easily in the sun. Us O"GRADY boys most have been good looking, these girls kept coming to our house some times right after school. Too bad only 8-9 year olds. For some reason my girlfriends called me James instead of Jim or Jimmy. I really liked my Rock N Roll Music ROLLING Stones Led Zeppelin, Alice Cooper, Bob Seger, Doobie Brothers, Allman Brothers Lynyrd Skynyrd. I liked how those 70s girls had the hots for those Long Hair Rock Stars. Heres a few corny IRISH sayings I AM A LEPRECHAUN I DONT DATE HUMANS, YOU DONT SCARE ME I WAS RAISED BY AN IRISH MOTHER. AN IRISH GIRL WITHOUT FRECKELS IS LIKE A SKY WITHOUT STARS. AN IRISH GIRL IS A GUYS BEST DRINKING BUDDY. WARNING I MAY BE PRONE TO SHENANIGANS & MALARKEY. REDHEAD IRISH GIRLS ARE EXTRA FIESTY IN THE BEDROOM. MAY THE LUCK OF THE IRISH BE WITH YOU. KISS ME IM IRISH NO REALLY IM IRISH. PARENTS were crazy having 10 IRISH Kids. Not only that Mom side gave us kids 16 first cousins. IRISH Familys are known for having lots of kids. Too Bad ST PATRICKS PARADE is cancelled because of that Corona Virus. My Family turned out all right we all new our limits with Alcohol. Kinda funny I took a liken to Partridge Family Music at 8 years old. Some of those 70s concerts were crazy because of very little Security, even indoor concerts were bad. Then again how do you control 75,000 fans. Freckels in IRELAND are called ANGEL KISSES. Sorry about all IRISH Stuff Im just Proud of my IRISH HEARITAGE. RIP DAVID CASSIDY

This song is about addiction. My friend Christine had a very bad addiction problem. Not just with drugs, but alcohol too. I met her at the State Psychiatric Hospital in 1985. I was 21 and she was 28. She ended up killing herself when she was 31. Miss you Chris. 😢

There's just this unique way that some 80s songs hit you, and this is one of them. In addition to the message, I'm not sure whether it's the visuals or the way the songs were produced back then, but it just grips you in a way that no other era does.

This song takes me back to childhood during the 80's. A time when life was much simpler and people talked to each other, face to face, for hours. If you needed answers, you rode your bike to the library and hung out with Dewey Decimal. The entire summer was spent at the public pool where the air was full of chlorine, kids were taking turns seeing how far they could swim underwater on one breath, and for snacks we had Mello Yello and Chick-o-Sticks. Riding my bike all over town because everyone knew everyone and we looked out for each other and didn't have to worry about getting snatched up or shot at. If you got in trouble, you're bike was never fast enough to beat the phone call home to your parents and you were held accountable for your actions. No cellphones, no computers, no video games (unless your parents had money). We weren't allowed to sit in the house on a sunny day and we never ate a meal at home that wasn't at the table. My God, how I miss those years. I wish I would have realized how special they were.

Lack of security cameras, no computer databases to analyze crimes, no DNA databases...I grew up in the 70s and 80s, but let's not pretend they were free from anything bad. Hell, where I lived there was a series of child murders that has still never been solved.

I recorded this song off the radio and would literally play this song (in our makeshift bomb shelter) over and over on the nights where the fighting and shelling reached our village. It eased my anxiety and helped me go to sleep.. I fucking love this song and hate it at the same time.

I remember being a child and waking up one morning, the soft sunlight dappled on my face through the tree just outside my bedroom window, with this song playing quietly on the small radio I kept next to my bed. It was the first time I ever heard it and there was something about it that immediately stood out to me. I don't remember ever hearing it again on the radio after that and it wasn't long before we moved across state and the 80s ended. In a way, this song symbolizes not just that moment but an entire era, lost to the sands of time and kept only in bittersweet memory.

phubans I heard it one day in 1996 on my radio when I woke up. It was when I lived in Montana. I only lived there 4 years, but I feel the same as you. It was the first time and last I heard it, but I never forgot it. There was something special about it.

phubans , I can relate. This song was popular in mid to late 1989 , about the time my parents moved me thousands of miles. I was 16. Not across the state, but across the country. So, yes it takes on a double meaning and a sadness. The end of the 80s and in essence, my childhood home. Thanks for sharing.

All 80's music is a treasure. I remember staying up late to watch Friday Night Videos. Then an underground music video showcase on a UHF channel in Chicago. I lived outside the country for 10 years. I always loved returning during Christmas and hearing new sounds. Living abroad exposed me to experiences my American peers couldn't imagine. It shaped me into a person that sees people as people not labels. Many Americans can benefit from that same experience today. Now, with that said. I believe Charli XCX's Boom Clap song borrowed from Toy Soldiers. They may not admit it. But the abstract lyrics and chorus timing are similar elements with a faster tempo. I wouldn't be surprised if she listened to Toy Soldiers and said. "Hey I want a to make a song like that." in her English accent. Of course this is my opinion. You say you don't know another song like this. It's likely you do but can't remember. Because I didn't recall Toy Soldiers until I happened upon it again. I want to share 2 songs that I think will have you feeling some intense emotions. Both are from the same artist. If you're not used to listening to this genre. Give it chance, and maybe it will be best to listen the first time with good headphones. Don't listen on your laptop speakers unless they are high quality. I'm not taking anything away from Toy Soldiers. I love music, any kind of music. Oh, and be careful with the first song. It might scare you at the beginning lol. Enjoy the musical genius of... 1. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fL2UgcdltdyRZqM.html 2. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b9merbd337KpoWQ.html
