Lyrics:
Inside everyone hides one desire
Outside no one would know
Danger close to edge of the knife
Safer not to let go
And while we miss chances
You can almost hear time slipping away
We close our eyes we never lose a game
Imagination never lets us take the blame
We close our eyes to see the final frame
We close our eyes to time slipping away
No show Wednesday girl waits with the wine
She knows just what to say
While no one listens
You can almost hear time slipping away
We close our eyes we never lose a game
Imagination never lets us take the blame
We close our eyes to see the final frame
We close our eyes and
We can talk to strangers
We are burning with the spark
And we can walk on water
We are tigers in the dark
We are burning
We close our eyes
Heroes never give into the night
He knows how far he can run
And as he surrenders
You can almost hear time slipping away
We close our eyes we never lose a game
Imagination never lets us take the blame
We close our eyes to see the final frame
We close our eyes

GO WEST AND MISTER MISTER WERE FANTASTIC BACK IN THE DAY
And The Quick, who Go West based their sound on. ruclips.net/video/tKaesrzB4Sw/видео.html
its actually a bloody good song
it is
It is!!
"Oh, you're in a band? Cool! What do you play?"
"...wrench."
Hahahaha
Ahaha
Hey that’s crescent wrench!
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂☺️
Nice one!
I have met Richard and Peter.
Two of the nicest blokes you could ever meet. They havnt let fame get to their heads. They are so down to earth and always take time to chat with you
You're Aussie👍
They do seem humble and nice
I missed a lot of the 80's music due to working punishing hours but boy have I caught up since.😃
@@zeptepiantraveller British more likely.
Am sure ,they seem so nice guys
The 80s were the best ❤
They were so much fun. And so many artists. And I had meant different personas, which was fun. Now I'm 63
He has so much soul in his voice…incredible singer. This band brings it every time.
almost brings me to tears , damn i miss those days, i feel sorry for the kids today never knowing the life we had back then
Yes it makes me sad to know I can only experience those days through movies and music. But at the same time, I feel grateful that we at least have that because without movies and music those times would truly be lost! Only living on in the memories of those who were there.
It also brings tears to my eyes...in my hometown, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic🇩🇴🌺we went to different clubs, especially on matinee Sundays! Those clubs were by the Caribbean sea; and this song is so part of those memories.
My 9 year old daughter thinks the 80s rule. We break out the Tears for Fears, Nik Kershaw, Go West, etc on an almost daily basis. Current pop music is abysmal by comparison. I'm glad I can show her what real music sounds like.
I take a slight inspiration from 2112 Rush because I wish I could be in a band and atleast be remembered before I pass away but I listen so I can feel it
@@DcComfy2011 i love Rush, one of my fav bands
Saw Go West in Sydney on 17 March 2024…still nailing this song! Great sound!
Who's missing the 80s right now? ✌❤
FOREVER ✊😢🙏⭐
Yes, I frequently miss the kick ass 80's !! 😎👍
Most DEFINITELY yes....
❤️
Every day!

His voice is SO smooth. Like there are no cracks for higher or lower notes. He just transitions into it so smoothly.
+1 , very underrated vocally , had just enough of an edge to voice without sounding "rough"
The vocals weren’t a wrench at all!
I’ll see myself out….
I think Peter can hit notes like Robert Palmer, very good singer, listening to go west in 2021 😁🖤
@@ericdickison7995 🤣😂

Simple. Engaging. Physically fit. The 80s personified.
What have we become?
The music from the 80's, made my high school years, special.
Hearing ya..luv from Oz
"Isn't it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back everything is different?"
-C.S. Lewis
This hit me differently 🙏
Profound
Which book was that from? Or was that just an outside quote?
Nice quote and nice brain for being astute enough for picking it👍
AHUH... 😔😒😒😒😒🙄🙄🙄🤔
This is in my top 10 tracks of all time. It brings back so much nostalgia I love it
I agree this is an awesome song energy and adrenaline 1985
It sure does, wow!
Such a classic, quintessentially 80's song! So, glad I grew up during this time!
A--MEN!!
Me too
60-year-old grandma here. I had so much fun in the '80s. I had my shoulder pads, semi-big hair, purple eyeshadow, and loved every second of it. Would love to time travel back for a day.
Word
This music video is so 80s I fucking love it!!
Captures all the excitement and exhuberance of the 80s!
1985
Exactly!!!!!
80s music will never die! ❤
Never! 😍💃🕺😎😎😎😎😎
@miavega8888
No, it just smells a little rank...
So agree.. Just doesnt get any better..😁
....but it did, hahahahha.
This song hits just as hard as it did when was I was a 14-year old starry-eyed teenage girl back in1984. Good times!!
I worked at Chrysalis Records in L.A. and am so proud of the wonderful music we put out. Staff loved GO WEST!
I'm just hearing this song for the first time at 26 years old. The 80s had some really really good music, crazy all these songs have existed for my entire life and even before and I'm just now hearin em.
@@supahdupahplayahmacknumbah1 Every decade produces some good music. The 80's had great bands. The 60's, of course had The Beatles, the Woodstock Nation music and Motown as well. The 50's had Frank Sinatra, and the Dick Clark Bandstand. The music is there and with RUclips, ready to be heard. Glad you liked Go West and good listening to you!!
I also was born in 1970. The 80's was the best decade OF ALL TIME...I miss it so much....
i was a 14 yr old boy yes they were the best times..awesome time to have grown up in.
There aren't too many songs where every element is just perfect but this is one of them - but mostly what a vocal performance!
Missing the 80s
What a voice.
I close my eyes and remember my good times growing up as a kid in the eighties. Music was so much better.
Facts
I'm born 2002 but 80% of my music I listen to is 80s and 90s. Best decades of music 🙌🏼
Life was so much better as well
@@jacquielangley3534 how so?
Yep
Takes me immediately back to being a kid. How lucky were we?
#80sKid
SO MUCH....
Social media has destroyed the world but every cloud..
We get to relive great memories with 80's classics.
We we so lucky we got to watch cartoons every day of the week and play outside to name a few.
Very. Very lucky.
👑Takes me back to Ibiza 1986 💖🌞🎊🥂🍾🎼🎵
One of the coolest bass-lines in music
That’s why I love this song!
Damned right!
My wife and I saw Go West on their 1986 tour in Portland at the Starry Night (iirc). What a phenomenal live band! Pure energy and every bit as good as the cassette that I wore out. You had to be there. One of the most memorable bands I've seen live up close and personal.
So
What was the lineup
Which was?
I miss My Go West cassette 😢 too. Such great music♥️.
Starry Night in Portland, OR was a special venue. I saw Echo and the Bunnymen there, as well as Psychedelic Furs. Devo, too.
My sister played this every day before school in 1985. Bring back the age of great music, and bring it back NOW!
I know right??
@@sl4983 Word up
The wife and child are away at my inlaws for a few weeks and here i am in my vest and jeans absolutely blasting this track in the flat ! Neighbours are going nuts lol
Came out in 1985, sounds just as good 37 years later.
This is a legitimate great song, great video (Directed by Godley and Creme) and is one of many forgotten gems from the 1980's.
It is as great as anything that came out from that decade, and it was the best decade ever for music.
I'll say.
I wish they made music like this now
This is a great song, but I'm sorry.. the 80s is one of the worst ever decades for music.
@@JackWilkos The 80's is one of the worst ever decades for music, your very much in the minority there Jack!
If that was the case also why is there so many films/TV shows, TV Documentaries, over past 15 years set in the 80's!
3 music channels on TV dedicated to just 80's music, there were so much different styles of music in the 80's!
From Indie, Alternative, House, Pop, Rock, Pop/Rock, Reggae, New Wave, Heavy Metal, Rap, etc......
One of my favourite songs ever. Such a classic.
❤❤❤❤BEST TIMES OF MUSIC❤❤❤❤
I came for the vocals and left with new dance moves ...
😂
😂
Teenager in the 80s how lucky 🎉
Kissed 💋 on the 🐓
I bought the 7" back in 1985. 😀
It's not the usual matter of longing to the past. Times were *objectively* better back in the 80s.
Change my mind.
80's music will always be best music by far . Takes me back to good times ♥️♥️♥️
This is such a great song. Pure 80s excellence.
Watch the video go up to 45. Geesh… I’m 53 already? Time is slipping away!
Still listening 2020 love the 80s music so much more than modern music
Modern is relative and the 80s isn't that old
I hear yah!!! Love 80s music!!!! Miss it so much, and the many concerts I went to! All those muscle t-shirts!
@@benarmstrong6904 What? 35 years is about half a lifetime
Ben Armstrong dumbass comment. You’re not as smart or enlightened as you like to pretend and OP’s comment still stands.
No. 80s were horrible. If we only pay attention to the music it will be the wrong picture. So many bad, cringeworthy, thimgs
Saw them open for Heart touring this album and became an instant fan. Was blown AWAY by the bass lines and the lyrics are still underrated.
Underrated Song!!...Love Their Style!!....
Not underrated.It was a big hit.Do your research.
Typical silly RUclips comment !
@@davidsiegfriedklinger2422 You speak the truth.
@@samkaur4098 Doesn't mean it can't be underrated to them, maybe they think it deserved to be an even bigger hit.
And maybe you should learn how to use a space after ending a sentence.
Beautiful People Back Then
Jul 11, 2017
Yes there were!
he's a plumber that just felt like taking a break and start singing with his wrench
Made me laugh :) I've often thought how odd it would be if people just started singing in musical fashion, in real life.. like at the office. People would be getting escorted out the door :)
😂😂😂
Someone build a bloody Timemachine so we can Get Back to this Amazing Decade 👏
If Only I know But who knows never say never !!!
Trouble is everyone would want to go back and no one would live in this time zone as it’s so shit! 🙈😂
They wouldn't even believe how good that decade was!@@startracker5895
Boy, the lead singer is very flexible ! Just bending up and down like he does would wears me out watching him.
😃
Cool song, now get back to fixing my pipes.
Bahahah😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Where's the leak Ma'am? -Patrick 😛
هههههههههههههههههههه
Lmao
Oh god, thanks for the tears of laughter, I needed it.
The 80's was great🎉 I do miss it!!
This song always reminds me of the summer of '85 and we were visiting family in Miami. This song was on the radio and the video on MTV. Such great memories and the song is so damn catchy. Thank you Go West
80's greatness.
Love it
Peter Cox had an amazing voice!
Still does!
Ditto! He (Go West) are still touring. And he still sounds amazing! He also released a new solo album earlier this year and it’s amazing!
Ladies and gentlemen.... THE 80's!
when was that
My teen years. Best of my years
I miss the 80's. I was born in 2001.
My teen years also and music back then was soooo great and still is. Lol
80s was my pub crawling and clubbing years, fond memories of copping off on a Saturday night.
Yeeeeeessssss ppl who's bouncing wit the air guitar round the kitchen in 2023 much ♥️💯 from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪
Every once in a while, there's a perfect tune that comes along --- that checks all the boxes in your head, from melody, to lyrics, to the character of a voice... to even the corniness of a music video (albeit a dated marker for the era), that makes a song timeless. This one's for me. There are other songs I like a lot, but I can listen to Peter Cox sing "We Close Our Eyes" on a loop for hours. Don't need to analyze it. Don't need to dissect it. It just works. As someone said below, and I agree. It's... a masterpiece.
Looking forward to seeing Go West tonight at The Winter Gardens in Margate after 2 years of postponements due to Covid!
No decade will ever top the 80's!!!
Sorry 70's & 90's way better
Yep, 80's was the best. 😎👍
@@ralphreinhardt6020 , both y'all need a ear checkup even if your talking pop music
@@misterbreezeoftharedpillma1710 sorry WRONG!
@@holidayrap , yeah I know you're sorry for being WRONG
So lucky to be born in the 70's to have grown up with this in the 80's.
Music has not been the same since the late 70's and early 80's, that's for sure. I was born in the let 1960's and I agree with you fully!
Even luckier that I was born in 1960 and worked with these and many other musicians !
@@GraemeMurphy Truth!
Reliving memories of a teenager in the 80s.loved Go West their music is timeless.🎉
This is one of my favourite songs ever. It lifts my heart to another dimension 🙏
Tune!
I like to think that Peter Cox just walked on set with that wrench and the director just went 'eh, let's run with it'.
The video was directed by Godley and Crème who made a lot of videos at that time. They even made a video for 10 CC, the band they were once part of. I remember them telling about the video for Go West that the thing he is carrying the whole time was very heavy. That was why he was sweating so much.
I’m still listening to this masterpiece in 2023
The 80's definitely have the most creative videos 💯💯
Love this song
Sinth, radio, a cup of coffe and my girl. Perfect friday at night in 80s middle.
Go West's first album was one of the first albums I ever bought (on tape) and I'll always have a soft spot for this track, and, Call Me as well.
"Demons" 1985.....classic gem of a track in that movie
Pretty good hidden gem movie too.
Yes! First time I heard this song watching Demons back in the day and I never forgot it. Great horror movie and soundtrack.
@@jay1hi547 Yeah thats why i remember it so well. thats the first time i heard the song then too when i was a kid. That "happy tune" lightened up the mood for a bit after seeing all that jacked stuff before that haha
@@xDTHECHEMISTx Smash everything ...Smash everything ..Smash everything !!!
@@italianplastic23 lol!!
Absolutely love this song ever since I first heard it 😊
Spot-On-Bratha! 😎👊
One of my favourite songs from my childhood!!!
Peter's voice was incredible. I had a massive crush on him as a kid!
He's hot!
Such a hottie
Whenever I hear this song I'm automatically transported back to 1985. My football team is doing really well, later that year they'd gain promotion, albeit in tragic circumstances. After every home game, many of the younger supporters would go on a pub crawl around the city, usually meeting up in a club at the end of the night. I can still see one lad I knew, very drunk, stood dancing on a table singing along to the "We Never Lose A Game" line with his hands in the air, then everyone else joining in and cheering him on. It's a cherished memory that represents a time of innocence and fun before everything became very serious, very sad and very dark a few months later. I shouldn't have been allowed in pubs and clubs as I wasn't yet 16, but I hung around with older people and looked older than I was, so it was never an issue. I was still a kid really, looking back, but by the summer, I had to grow up very suddenly, so this song also represents the end of my childhood too. It evokes fairly bittersweet emotions, thinking about it. Which is odd for a fairly throwaway pop song.
The Valley Parade fire 😰😰😰
Memories
The 80's were a magical time when being a teenager was just as amazing as the the music, movies and awesome 80's toy's! I miss it! 😔
The '80's "Original Knight Rider" toys & collectibles were truly the best.😊😉😎....🖖
we close our eyes
“Heroes never give in to the night…”(always loved that line)
Fantastic song really gets the energy flowing
So under rated...a great band!
Awesome masterpiece
Director: no no no...shake the wrench more.....
Lol. FUCK IT ,WHO NEEDS C.G.I WHEN YOU HAVE A RENCH .
@@beastman.330 And a f**kin lot of model mannequins.
lol this comment tickled me so hard
You funny bastard!
Every time I see this clip, your comment is all I think of and I laugh!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
His voice is something else isn't it
The 80's was THE BEST YEAR'S OF MY LIFE, WISH I COULD GO BACK IN TIME❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋
damm good times .. can still feel it
Also glad I grew up with this music...timeless!!!❤
Still Love them. Timeless tunes
What a banger. It’s almost criminal how little attention this band got from US radio stations back in the 80’s. I was in my early teens and hardly ever remember hearing this or any of their other hits during that time. It wasn’t until 1992 when “King of Wishful Thinking” came out that they finally got some real notice. Then they released “Faithful” and then faded away again. Thankfully those 2 hits plus their G/H album let me see how truly talented they really were.
I'm going to see them along with Nik Kershaw early next year. What a night that's going to be!
@@andoletube UK tour?
@@TheRetroManRandySavage No, Australia/NZ tour.
@@andoletube I'll get online and see if they're touring here. I hope so.
Nothing more 80s than this
Love love love this song!! Have long forgotten about this song till I heard it on the radio just now!!! It's November 2021 and this song still tugs at my heartstrings! ❤️
I just heard this song on the wireless but I am going to be brutal so please don't take it personally.
This song is representative of a style of cookie cutter pop from the second half of the Eighties. It is slick but totally over produced; the musical equivalent of a severe sugar hit.
I grew up in the Eighties and I was so happy when the Nineties rolled round and rocked my world.
My favourite song ever. Amazing!
you have great taste
He has a great voice.
I closed my eyes while driving and woke up at the bottom of a canal. I was medically dead for three minutes and spent a month in hospital with multiple fractures. Whenever I hear this song, I remember the terrible pain, the years of physiotherapy and how my girlfriend left me.
she's a pos then. Many fish my bro, many many fish
And still here to tell about it. I’m glad…
Love this song, so glad I was a teenager in the 80’s
What a gem of a song !!!! A typical hit of the mid 80's, a very underrated song unfortunately ... I listened to it non-stop as a teenager at the age of 13, happy times, great memories !!!!
I adored it and I was younger than you, probably about 10. I still love it!!!
@@luchilds Glad to hear that!!! We are so lucky to be kids of the 80's !!! Nowdays music is rubbish, no heart and soul as music of the "GOLDEN 80's".... Also liked "Living in a box" band, so much reminds me of "Go West" style, another underrated band of the 80's unfortunately!!!
Blue eyed Soul ❤
You are my brother and a true champion. Hearts and wishes. Fro. Sir Andtew George.
This song is amazing and brings back great memories 🥳🥳
"Call Me" was a gr8 hit, but this one's my "Absolute-Favorite" by the "One & Only Go West!"😉👍✌️🖖
😊👍👊
yes i agree but i also love i'll get over you .. .. brilliant group n still going to this day .
My FAVOURITE.. Still remember hearing this LIVE for the 1st time back in the 80's on tour..just sublime!. Still gives me tingles down my spine when they play it at their gigs! 💓😻🥰🥰💗💓
80'S❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great song from 1985 YES !!!!!
So blessed, grateful and thankful that I was able to enjoy such a mystical and magical time in my life. If you weren't there, you missed it
Saw the boys at the weekend live at the Bath Forum. They haven’t lost it. Peter Cox , at 66, still has a brilliant voice & Richard the other piece of the Go West puzzle.
80's were awesome
GO WEST -super!!!
80s fucking brilliant
