Absolutely incredible how this totally missed being put out & money & time wasn't invested in it. Both Sharon Abbott (blonde) & Julie Ruler are definitely gorgeous. If you think this is awesome then check out Follow by them, an absolute smash hit that wasn't! Oh & "My Complicated Personality which out does anything by Toyah. Also check out their more recent incarnation as Twins Natalia - Radial Emotion & Bear Me Up which is like an electronic Abba on steroids.
Imo this was totally awesome. How this was never a hit is anyone's guess. Sad really when you hear all the terrible trash nowadays that can't even hold a candle to a masterpiece like this & this band. Pure class
@@alanroutledge6717 I'm sure that older people back then didn't like music that was made from synthesizers, used vocal effects and didn't use real instruments.
The echo of each step I take shouts back at me Rebounding off the splattered walls and my ears bleed The distant echoes ring as though not far away A hollow town an empty life and who's to pay? Then the echoes fade, the echoes fade, oh the echoes fade Our buildings vast and high Concrete jungles in the sky And kids are stranded on the corners Dressed to kill in uniforms Threatened by the danger of a falling brick Built to breed our problems Then the echoes fade and time stands still Then the echoes fade, the echoes fade, oh the echoes fade The powers fallen in public hands Official secrets burnt in sand And riots fulfil this bloody land The blame shall fall on no mans head A champagne glass in the ghettos grasp Committed to survive this ritual task Revolution, sham, scream, paranoid, anarchy pathetic dreams The echoes fade, the echoes fade, oh the echoes fade Then the echoes fade, the echoes fade, oh the echoes fade Then the echoes fade, the echoes fade, oh the echoes fade Then the echoes fade, the echoes fade, oh the echoes fade Then the echoes fade, the echoes fade, oh the echoes fade Then the echoes fade, the echoes fade, oh the echoes fade Then the echoes fade, the echoes fade, oh the echoes fade
Full version of lyrics here. Two verses are only in the longer 7 or so minute version. there are 6 or so versions of this song floting around. only the shorter version has a decent quality video though. the echo of each step i take shouts back at me rebounding off the splattered walls and my ears bleed the distant echoes ring as though not far away a hollow town an empty life and who's to pay the echoes fade.... our buildings vast and high concrete jungles in the sky and kids are stranded on the corners dressed to kill in uniforms threatened by the danger of a falling brick built to breed our problems then the echoes fade and time stands still the echoes fade... a mound of browning leaves, entwined with paper packets on the broken paths a mound of empty wrappers entwined with cans and lengths of shattered glass brainwashed by this pregnant world abortion of the heavens above choking on the soil and mud, spitting at earth to perish there. the echoes fade... then the echoes fade... the powers fallen in public hands official secrets burnt in sand and riots fulfil this bloody land the blame shall fall on no mans head a champagne glass in the ghettos grasp committed to survive this ritual task revolution, sham, scream, paranoid, anarchy, pathetic dreams the echoes fade... sad wives await for pleasant days to fill their bitter empty wombs a mound of browning leaves entwined with guns and bullets on the blown up paths a mound of empty wrappers entwined with bloodied tissues and piles of shattered glass, whose war was it anyway the echoes fade
Конечно же известно о чём они поют, НО главное для всех это вокал и мелодичность песни! Заставляет задуматься, мечтать и просто спокойствие
This is for me one of these spine tingling songs, so glad I found this
Stunning isn't it! Like digging up a secret buried stash of gold.
This should be on Spotify like V.O.I.C.E.S. is.
Brilliant music. How they never made the charts is beyond me. I grew up in the new romantic era and these would have been shining stars.
It’s the lyrics
It's really strange that it didn't come... 1982 had a lot of entries of this style.
Awesome tune that should've been huge... Why not? I will never understand that... The girls are gorgeous too

fantastic New Wave Romantic song❤
In roba, con questa, wowwwww
клаас мы не слышали в росси классеую музыку молодцы
The echo of each step I take shouts back at me
Rebounding off the splattered walls and my ears bleed
The distant echoes ring as though not far away
A hollow town an empty life and who's to pay?
Then the echoes fade, the echoes fade, oh the echoes fade
Our buildings vast and high
Concrete jungles in the sky
And kids are stranded on the corners
Dressed to kill in uniforms
Threatened by the danger of a falling brick
Built to breed our problems
Then the echoes fade and time stands still
Then the echoes fade, the echoes fade, oh the echoes fade
The powers fallen in public hands
Official secrets burnt in sand
And riots fulfil this bloody land
The blame shall fall on no mans head
A champagne glass in the ghettos grasp
Committed to survive this ritual task
Revolution, sham, scream, paranoid, anarchy pathetic dreams
The echoes fade, the echoes fade, oh the echoes fade
Then the echoes fade, the echoes fade, oh the echoes fade
Then the echoes fade, the echoes fade, oh the echoes fade
Then the echoes fade, the echoes fade, oh the echoes fade
Then the echoes fade, the echoes fade, oh the echoes fade
Then the echoes fade, the echoes fade, oh the echoes fade
Then the echoes fade, the echoes fade, oh the echoes fade

the echo of each step i take shouts back at me
rebounding off the splattered walls and my ears bleed
the distant echoes ring as though not far away
a hollow town an empty life and who's to pay
the echoes fade....
our buildings vast and high
concrete jungles in the sky
and kids are stranded on the corners
dressed to kill in uniforms
threatened by the danger of a falling brick
built to breed our problems
then the echoes fade and time stands still
the echoes fade...
a mound of browning leaves,
entwined with paper packets on the broken paths
a mound of empty wrappers entwined with cans and lengths of shattered glass
brainwashed by this pregnant world
abortion of the heavens above
choking on the soil and mud, spitting at earth to perish there.
the echoes fade... then the echoes fade...
the powers fallen in public hands
official secrets burnt in sand
and riots fulfil this bloody land
the blame shall fall on no mans head
a champagne glass in the ghettos grasp
committed to survive this ritual task
revolution, sham, scream, paranoid, anarchy, pathetic dreams
the echoes fade...
sad wives await for pleasant days to fill their bitter empty wombs
a mound of browning leaves entwined
with guns and bullets on the blown up paths
a mound of empty wrappers entwined with bloodied tissues
and piles of shattered glass, whose war was it anyway
the echoes fade
Lol I wonder why it wasn’t a big hit. Brilliant tune and concept, but lyrics way too literal. Amazing tune though glad we have it
@@djmadwax does have a 1980s coal strike kinda vibe it seems.
