Shark Vegas - Love Habit

[@markreeder6781]

This recording is the demo version of Love Habit, that we made a few weeks before we appeared at the official opening event of German cable TV, presented by Music Box (Europe's cable TV forerunner to MTV). The producer of this show wanted us to perform it on the Glienicke Bruecke (aka the bridge of spies). As I had connections to AFN (American Forces Network), I managed to obtain us a permit at very short notice, and we filmed this clip on the same day, just as the sun was setting. We're supposed to be spies returning home (after interrogation by the commies). We had a problem during shooting, as the U.S authorities hadn't told the Soviets on the East side of the bridge, that we were going to be filming and so we nearly caused an international incident. The version which is featured in B-Movie (lust & sound in West-Berlin) is actually the finished studio recording that we made for a Factory U.S compilation in 1985, together with Pretenders of Love (which was eventually chosen for that comp). This is a low kwolity VHS recording.

mark reeder Thanks for sharing this - what a fascinating story! I'm here because of B-Movie, which I enjoyed thoroughly. Amazing insight into the music scene that until now I only knew a few snippets of...

[@splendidantoan]

Oh my! What a story! Thanks for sharing!

[@bBbKce]

Peak Performance man!!

[@Kerlimann]

Why was the singer's face all f'ed up? Did he get beaten up by Hooky or was that a fashion thing?

[@Bellasie1]

Fascinating. Thank you for sharing, Mark Reeder.

[@ezkibela]

[@ZAMacalypse]

[@ovemelaa]

It's amazing to see Mark Reeder doing something else than starring in Nekromantik 2

[@claudiakruber7626]

Coolio 🤣🤟

[@WildYouthDigital]

Shark Vegas were based in Berlin. They were Mark Reeder and Alistar Grey from Manchester plus Helmut Wittler and Leo Walter from Berlin. The Manchester Guys were "Die Unbekannten" and the Germans come out of a band called Soif De La Vie.

[@aliensurfboy]

Helle Wittler for president!

[@Bellasie1]

Thank you for the info! Would you know what happened to Alistair, Helmut and Leo? What are they doing/where are they now?

[@aliensurfboy]

@@Bellasie1 found this from 1988, co-written by Helmut kzbin.info/www/bejne/bX2WgH1or7aAl80

If someone could write the lyrics down there I would love him forever. As a foreigner I can't understand everything

[@RoyRogerer]

Haha, first of all, I believe they were Berlin based band, singing in English, so it has nothing to do with you being a foreigner, but I guess you mean your English is not good enough to understand everything. Anyway, I tried my best to write down what he sings, but I think he is definitely German, (unlike the guitarist Mark Reeder, who is British) and his pronunciation is not so clear in many places. Also, the chorus is really hard to understand with all the music. Also, some parts makes little sense, probably his English just messing up, as it doesn't seem like it is his mother tongue: Every minute is wasted Every day is the same Since you’re gone I’ve missed that something that happened to me at times you were near me Since the day that I’ve tasted, the lips as sweet as cherry pie But can I feel it that this time I’m dealing with a love that is too hot to hold, sing it to me If I live for a thousand years Would I ever remember, what I ever saw in a girl like you If I cried a thousand tears Would it ever help me to forget If I let you go without letting you know, that I’m stealing your soul Chorus: Don’t walk away We’re in a new love habit Need that every day ??? with a woman you love I wouldn’t ask you to stay But I can’t live if I don’t have it Come on I’m not afraid I’m just a ??? Loud, harder Any time when we’re together All I’m thinking of Losing you more than I could bear But you change like the weather One with new with the love Even me and the cold(?) could you drive me from desire to despair Chorus: Don’t walk away We’re in a new love habit Need that every day ??? with a woman you love I wouldn’t ask you to stay But I can’t live if I don’t have it Come on I’m not afraid I’m just a ??? Loud, harder Chorus: Don’t walk away We’re in a new love habit Need that every day ??? with a woman you love I wouldn’t ask you to stay But I can’t live if I don’t have it Come on I’m not afraid I’m just a ??? Loud, harder

[@tompeltriaux6528]

Wow you're awesome ! This song is great. I discover this band when I bought a special Factory Records album. Their song on the album was "You Hurt Me" and I immediately liked this band. About the lyrics, I had some parts, and the whole message behind the song, but a few words were missing.. Feels good to be closer now ! I'm trying to cover this and it will definitely help. And yes that's what I meant, the combinaison of me being not english + his accent made it complicated in some parts. For the chorus, it seems to me that he says "Depending on your love" instead of "??? with a woman you love", sounds right ? Anyway thank you, I just saw your comment and I am very happy to read such an aswer this afternoon. Cheers from Paris !

Every minute is wasted Every day is the same When you’re gone I’ve missed that something That happened to me each time you were near me Since the day that I’ve tasted, the lips as sweet as cherry pie A kind of feeling that this time I’m dealing with a love that is too hot to hold, Sing it to me If I lived for a thousand years Would I ever remember, what I ever saw in a girl like you If I cried a thousand tears Would it ever help me to forget If I let you go without letting you know, that I’m stealing your soul Don’t walk away Leaving me with a love habit Need that every day Depending on your love I wouldn’t ask you to stay But I can’t live if I don’t have it Come on I’m not afraid I’m just a victim of My own heart Any time when we’re together All I’m thinking of Losing you would be more than I could bear But you change like the weather Warming me with your love Leaving me in the cold Girl, you drive me from desire to despair Don’t walk away Leaving me with a love habit Need that every day Depending on your love I wouldn’t ask you to stay But I can’t live if I don’t have it Come on I’m not afraid I’m just a victim of My own heart Don’t walk away Leaving me with a love habit Need that every day Depending on your love I wouldn’t ask you to stay But I can’t live if I don’t have it Come on I’m not afraid I’m just a victim of My own heart From: songmeanings.com/songs/view/3530822107859538876/
