Kim Wilde & Ricky Wilde - Tearaway

Written by Ricky Wilde - Marty Wilde - 1980
Released on cd in 2002, on a 'Various Artists' compilation series called 'Singing Heroes'.

Lyrics:
A window crashes in the night
Just like a flash it cuts aside
A sudden silence hits the street
That's when I really feel the heat
It's got a feeling of its own
I guess it's all I've ever known
And still you think you wanna stay
Well listen to me girl that's just what I say

I wanna tearaway
Wanna tearaway
And I won't give a damn
No I won't give a hand to nobody at all
You could stay with me tonight
'cos if you want to, that's alright
'cos when you don't give a damn
You're really not losing out

Just stick your hands against the wall
I think I hear somebody call
I stand and look up into space
I turn around and see your face
A look of sadness hits your eyes
And through your tears you're asking why
But when I touch you too you burn
If you wanna live life then you gotta learn

I wanna tearaway
Wanna tearaway
And I won't give a damn
No I won't give a hand to nobody at all
You could stay with me tonight
'cos if you want to, that's alright
'cos when you don't give a damn
You're really not coming out

You really should be making school
I guess you think you're really cool
I wonder if I've got a heart
Or when my tears are gonna start
You should have asked me (inaudible)
There is so much you have to know
But when I needed someone there
Well nobody listened and nobody cared

I wanna tearaway
Wanna tearaway
And I won't give a damn
No I won't give a hand to nobody at all
You could stay with me tonight
'cos if you want to, that's alright
'cos when you don't give a damn
You're really not coming out

Tearaway
Keep on running, keep on
Tearaway
Keep on running, keep on
Tearaway
Keep on running, keep on
Tearaway
Keep on running, keep on
Tearaway
Keep on running, keep on

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RICKY WILDE!

[MrRepulsiv]

Very cool, this is pretty rare, great upload! thanks alot!

In my opinion Ricky is an ok singer, but he is a great guitar player and a *excellent* songwriter.

@MrRepulsiv Thanks for your nice comment! I agree, for me Ricky Wilde is one of the most talented songwriters of the 80ies!

Thank You for uploading!

A piece of Kim Wilde - History and... Ricky can't sing...

[sounds73]

@antharia Guess you're right ;-) you're welcome!

[LedWilde]

I've read about this song before. It goes with the whole history on how Kim's career got started. I never heard this before until now. Thank you for the upload! It's a very good song. Even though Kim is the better singer, Ricky doesn't sing bad.

@LedWilde You're welcome- thanks for your information, too! ;-)

@TheMjblades I respectfully disagree about Ricky's daughter. I find Scarlett a great presence on stage, both vocally and physically, with her Jessica Rabbit style of tongue-in-cheek sexy being an integral part of Kim's show. (Check her performance on Cambodia-Reprise in last year's tour, you should find it easily on youtube if you weren't lucky to catch it live.)

The song is a combination of glam rock and new wave period! I really love this song.

[TheMjblades]

He sounds like typical tone-deaf punk singer of the 70s, bless. But then Buzzcocks vocalist can't really sing, neither Sex Pistols and many of them really. But he was a kid and his voice found its promise as brilliant backing vocals on many of Kim's best albums. His backing create awesome counterpoints to Kim on many gr8 songs-Dream Sequence, Is It Over, Dancing In The Dark, Hold Back etc. He was always an integral part of her songs, unlike his daughter whose presence on Kim's stuff is trying.

Just came across this awesome song of Kim & Ricky Wilde, very nice indeed ! Thanks for the upload !

[MrMicErick]

they should of done more songs together

[LedWilde]

I wonder what this would sound like if Kim was singing the whole time and not Ricky? Probably would have different lyrics if she did and it would sound better. I much prefer her voice but I stand by what I said before, he doesn't sing bad. And he doesn't sing that great either.
