I've loved this track from the first time I saw on the tube back in the 80s. A masterpiece of the era!

[@auregar9184]

Riascoltata dopo 30 anni. Ho avuto i brividi . bellissima! Quasi onirica!!!💚❤️💚👍

[@jayceeisland20]

10 minutes of awesomeness - certainly stands the test of time - why is this not a world classic ?

[@vthomas375]

No, start thinking 150 + years to stand the test of tine e.t.c.? One of my current favourites though:)

[@terryatkinson2264]

Fucking great this, absolutely outstanding. Grew up with this on my Walkman, it's not lost anything, just wow.

I remember recording this on VHS from the tube, and subsequently lost it to the years, so glad it is now here forever. Great song

80s Masterpiece

So glad they have been playing this on their latest greatest hits your. Stunning Track

[@josephdevlin7528]

I saw this at the time in 1984. I bought the album and I am still playing it.

[@acasacas9844]

Love this, I was young, it was the 80s and I thought I was the collect thing around. Brilliant brilliant into. Superb band Heaven 17 - And That's No Lie

[@juliahannant1923]

Outstanding.

[@andylinton2798]

I recall back around then the UK TV station Channel 4 used to close down around midnight. After they’d closed down, they’d often play some random or weird video, almost as it the person on transmission control just ran it - no announcement or caption etc. One night after waiting a few mins with a blank screen, this came in. Blew me away. I couldn’t wait next day to get the album out and play it on my radio programme!

[@shropshirecca5108]

Just occasionally The Tube did something brilliant, and this one off 10 minute video is seared in my memory as the peak of that great show. Had it on VHS, sadly no more. Heaven 17's magnum opus, truly superb. Not a note wasted.

[@progchick1]

I had it on VHS. Transferred to DVD 😎 Absolute awesomeness

[@simonambient6243]

It is a world classic

[@pretzelberger2125]

Harps n all - plus the Afrodiziak backing vox. Simply brilliant.

[@paola1737]

That bass!!!

This was good 80s music😊

An almighty THANK YOU!

[@Kerlimann]

This is their MASTERPIECE!

Their best!

[@mgfnut]

I remeber watching this when it originally aired and I went out and bought the LP next day just to get this track. So cool, even now and it's my favourite Heaven 17 song. Thanks for the upload :D I wont have to wait another 33 years to watch the video now it's on youtube!

[@TheGodParticle]

such a incredible song, love it, when, come live with me came along it was the foundation of my misspent youth, cheers

[@PatGleeson123]

Precisely the same reason I went out and bought this record :-) Heaven 17's masterwork IMO ...

[@neilboastmbe4428]

Me too. Still love it❤️❤️❤️

[@dingoxx3044]

Thanks for the video! Ever since I lost my vinyl record player, I haven't been able to hear this version of the song! And now I can do it again as often as I want! Hooray.... 🤩 🥳

Just heard that Claudia Fontaine, the background singer, died in 2018. I feel very sorry for that. On the other hand, I am happy to see John Wilson, the bass guitar player, in this video.

But when the fire goes out The dark starts moving in And that's the truth Right now you're on the stand And I feel like the judge Who needs the proof? The slaves of truth It was on every face in town But I would not understand Waiting for the news Will it ever come my way? I won't be beat, not in a thousand years I'll never lose, if I can prove you're not the one Just leave me now, you're making my blood run cold The word is out, so go, your feet won't touch the ground Now that she has gone I've got to shake the pain, act like a man The sweetness that's inside Will slowly die away Who do you think you are? You're making a fool of me Make no mistake, this is no fake, this is the end Just shut your mouth, make room for someone new So guess who's back, it's happy Jack, and that's no lie How was I to know? So discreet, no-one speaks Take the word from here If you play you've got to pray Who do you think you are? You're making a fool of me Make no mistake, this is no fake, this is the end I won't be beat, not in a thousand years Just leave me now, you make my blood run cold The word is, the word is out

[@qwj68boots]

Confession time. My teenage years were formative in the way that I knew of so much Great music and it was mostly coming from the UK. Needless to say, I'm here because we owe a sincere debt to this Great Group. I lived in the 'united states' during the 1980's when there was so much great music to learn and sing plus discover, regardless of genre. Perhaps there was backlash due to Heaven 17 having no guitar or bass, but synths. Well, that was bullshit then and even more so today. Finally, any band that derives their name from a S. Kubrick film is tops with me. And I don't believe there was any mention of the music store in the actual A Clockwork Orange novel. If I'm mistaken, I stand accused. But, this is in praise of Heaven 17.

[@paulanson100]

Easily one of their best songs, cleverly constructed with powerful lyrics.

[@donmiknelli6808]

This was and is a BLAST! Words missing...-

[@lynlong5797]

bloody fantastic - totally re-lived my 80's music life thank you so much xx

[@ianwalker6453]

I too remember watching and recording this on my long defunct VHS tape! Thought it was gone forever, thank you for allowing me to re-live my 80’s youth!

[@Paul-li4ds]

Saw this on its first showing back in the day as a young teenager it was a wow moment then to think of how this whole arrangement was put together, it has everything words,synth, guitar,bass plus coolest backing singers - this would hold up today 2024 very impressive. Thank you Heaven 17.

There are dozens is not hundreds of awesome bands from the 80s and 90s that were never heard because they weren't critterling offspring of the Families, and so couldn't get the time of day from Cabal-swallowed record-labels and radio-stations.

I thought Mo Foster played bass on this (he's the only bass player credited on the album) but that's not him in the video. I wonder if the guy in the video (who is he?) played on this track, or if Mo couldn't make the video shoot so they got a stand in?

[@funkmike]

I'm pretty sure it's John Wilson playing bass here.

[@kathrinhauger9602]

Mo ruled on the recording.

[@eoghanoreilly1059]

I think John Wilson did play on some of the tracks (Mo did the gorgeous fretless on 'The Skin I'm In') including this one. He did all of the bass (and some if not all of the guitar) on the first two albums.

[@scatnav]

@@funkmike It's deffo John Wilson on the audio here. I've copped his licks for years. I wonder where he is now? Never seen anything from him other than H17.

[@colourist.]

it is the amazingly talented John Wilson
