Way too easy to forget about such amazing tracks as this as every "80's compilation" seem to think that Soft Cell only ever released Tainted Love or Bedsitter. This is one of their most powerful tracks which takes you back to an era which is totally alien to what we live in today. Simply an amazing powerful piece of music and with Marc's lyrics and voice this will always be a timeless classic. Superb!
Great song from a fantastic album ...best duo ever ...the atmosphere of this album is stunning ..revisit it often ...it's such a shame that to the casual observer it's tainted love and maybe say hello ....they are missing so much
Back in the days this was one of the favorites of Soft Cell's fanbase, and with good reason. I wonder how much this song influenced Martin Gore when he wrote Behind the Wheel.
It was the heat of the night I think Or it could've been the effect of the drink But I had to brush away the flies That started to collect around your eyes I've still the taste of the sweat and the dust You're still playing games and abusing my trust In the heat of the night In the glow of the light It's the back and the bite That's feeling alright Do you use up bodies like cigarettes Do you need them for ego Do you need them for sex It was a bite of a night gone wrong And the effect of listening to negative songs Stuck in a love scene from blood and sand And the way the room keeps spinning around I steal the taste of the sweat and the dust (Now I know what they mean by looks can kill) You're still playing games and abusing my trust In the heat of the night In the glow of the light It's the back and the bite That's feeling alright Do you use up bodies like cigarettes Do you need them for ego Do you need them for sex And you're moaning about your wasted life Lying there listening to "Spanish Eyes" With the cups on the floor And the plates in the sink And the room full of smoke And then you full of drink You skin's going dry And the color of sand Ignore the cigarette burning your hand

In the heat of the night, in the glow of the light It's the back and the bite, that's feeling alright Do you use up bodies like cigarettes Do you need them for ego, do you need them for sex?

the music of my teen yrs. angry 14yr old getting secretly drunk in my room playing these songs. saw their last ever concert at hammersmith before they split. brilliant sad night
This song reminds me of the long summers, locked in the basement, Mom would play this record over and over right above me, some times she would drip water through the floor boards in a momentary fit of compassion. But I paid for it later, oh, I always paid for it later. When I escaped, I paused only to take this record
This album, and to an extent, "This Last Night In Sodom" are timeless... To be honest, when it comes to "Non-stop Erotic Cabaret, I can take it, or leave it... However, the other 2 albums are amazing!
Now I know what they mean by looks can kill. And they're having a strange effect on the way I feel .....on the way..on the away...on the way, reminding me btw of Bowies "Bewley Brothers" echo outro, "..come away...come away..please come away, away". Purpose or coincidence?
although i didn't like "the art of falling apart" much,this song can be placed in the same league with the songs from their magnificent "non-stop erotic cabaret"
Saw them live and honestly cannot tell u what happened with this Swedish girl grinding me ..I know ..the music was sexually charged and just driving to orgasmmmmmmmm !!! The whole crowd was like in a tribal charged state..Awsome !!

Im 8 years late, but generally most of the album was made to get away from being super commercial

for sure one of their best songs ever...the atmosphere is a killer
Atmospheric, love the whole vibe of the song especially the manic build up at the end.

Old but gold
One of the best songs ever !!!!!
you know good music!!! superbe track this is
much underated song. One of my favourite SC songs.
It was the heat of the night I think
Or it could've been the effect of the drink
But I had to brush away the flies
That started to collect around your eyes
I've still the taste of the sweat and the dust
You're still playing games and abusing my trust
In the heat of the night
In the glow of the light
It's the back and the bite
That's feeling alright
Do you use up bodies like cigarettes
Do you need them for ego
Do you need them for sex
It was a bite of a night gone wrong
And the effect of listening to negative songs
Stuck in a love scene from blood and sand
And the way the room keeps spinning around
I steal the taste of the sweat and the dust
(Now I know what they mean by looks can kill)
You're still playing games and abusing my trust
In the heat of the night
In the glow of the light
It's the back and the bite
That's feeling alright
Do you use up bodies like cigarettes
Do you need them for ego
Do you need them for sex
And you're moaning about your wasted life
Lying there listening to "Spanish Eyes"
With the cups on the floor
And the plates in the sink
And the room full of smoke
And then you full of drink
You skin's going dry
And the color of sand
Ignore the cigarette burning your hand
Kate Winter Thank you so much! ❤️
Absolute masterpiece of music
I really like this song and its arrangement. Thank you for uploading this classic piece from Soft Cell.
Brilliant track from my adolescence.
non stop ....

Now I know what they mean by looks can kill

On the way I, on the way I feel
Now I know, now I know what they mean
Now I know what they mean by
By looks can, by looks can kill, kill
Now I know, now I know what they mean by looks can kill
This is GREAT music. Soft Cell!
What a SONG, guys!!!
❤️ 😊 ❤️
Fantastic, we need one more final tour.
How about their newest album?
Brilliantly conceived
the music of my teen yrs. angry 14yr old getting secretly drunk in my room playing these songs. saw their last ever concert at hammersmith before they split. brilliant sad night
I was there For Both nights....and at the o2 recently...love marcs music a big thing in my life
I was also at the last Hammersmith show. The real one. The 02 was just a big payday.
This song reminds me of the long summers, locked in the basement, Mom would play this record over and over right above me, some times she would drip water through the floor boards in a momentary fit of compassion. But I paid for it later, oh, I always paid for it later. When I escaped, I paused only to take this record
--- Good Lord, your life sounds so much more exciting than mine ... I'm jealous!

I agree with what bazapop said (2 years ago apparently) this song really does sum up Soft Cell.
A masterpiece

I LOVE YOU MARC
Some body tô llove
a classical ....thanks....
Good song I have this record
Really?? You are deep
Am I ru kerbose
No subscribers I see
Marc is the Jimmy Breslin of sleaze!
❤
this reminds me of the film 'Crusing'......really dark and stylish......
It reminds me of Tennessee Williams... Oddly enough, when I recently read Marc's autobiography, he said the same thing!
EU AMO DEMAIS MARC ALMOND. BRASIL-SP
thank you
Gee! People!
It's 1983!
Forever
When I listen to this song I have a feeling something bad is going to happen, don't know why. Don't get me wrong I like it.
+verapamil07 "The effects of listening to negative songs."
+Joel Morejon Or could be the effect of the drinks xD
Now I know what they mean by booze and pills!
Soft Cell - The Art Of Falling Apart
Label:As per the contract Some Bizzare Label
Looks could kill! Juice and pills!
Now I know what they mean by looks can kill.
And they're having a strange effect on the way I feel .....on the way..on the away...on the way,
reminding me btw of Bowies "Bewley Brothers" echo outro, "..come away...come away..please come away, away". Purpose or coincidence?
For real. Not THIS album...it's crazy. Marc is bad ass.
MORE SOFT cell please TONY SIMMONS
Maybe it's remembrances of incarcerated people.
Bela Lugosi ...Who??!!
although i didn't like "the art of falling apart" much,this song can be placed in the same league with the songs from their magnificent "non-stop erotic cabaret"
I can honestly do without NSEC, but this and "This Last Night In Sodom" are equally my 2 favorite Soft Cell albums...
Saw them live and honestly cannot tell u what happened with this Swedish girl grinding me ..I know ..the music was sexually charged and just driving to orgasmmmmmmmm !!!
The whole crowd was like in a tribal charged state..Awsome !!
A friend recommended! To be honest it's like shi* ! I didn't like at all
Then you've got poor taste. 🤷♂
