♪♫ Don't touch me
Don't talk to me about it
Don't touch me
Don't talk to me - ever again

I don't feel anything
All sensation is closed to me
I saw you put the needle in
(I can still see) everything

Take me to a quiet place
Throw me in the water
Watch the bubbles surface as
I'm slowly sinking under ♪♫

So much anger and pain for breakups of any kind such as friendships and partner when you are filled with such hate. They captured this emotion. Brilliant.

[ELGROOVER]

To brismike65 ~ With the feeling & emotion th@ it conveys, this album certainly lives up2 it's title. As 4 its aspect of hate involved with tempestuous relationships, yes, there is th@...but I found, (listening then and now), th@ I relate/d more to the sorrow felt th@ follows after. When the molten heat of the hate cools ; on reflection, leaving a sadness & brooding (which later turns to stone & cold indifference). An amazingly 'textured' piece all round ; yes. Brilliant ☺ ;-j

Beautiful and unique music.

[dereka79]

This track is soooo HOT!!! From the base, to the creamy hypnotic keyboard, to Annie's background vocals, and of course her smooth and haunting lead vocal. Goodness!!! Yes, this is true music and creativity!!!

I'd forgotten how much I love this song.

@NEILVANCE yes along with the Linn Drum and TR808 it defined the sounds of the 80's. Both the Eurythmics and Thompsons Twins albums were driven by the Movement. And what a futuristic machine it was!
