Lyrics:
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died
It's five and I'm driving home again
It's hard to believe that it's my last time
The man on the wireless cries again
It's over, it's over
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died
It's late and I'm with my love alone
We drink to forget the coming storm
We love to the sound of our favourite song
Over and over
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died
It's time and we're in each other's arms
It's time but I don't think we really care
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes

It's about time Midge Ure became a Sir. He was the unsung hero of Band Aid 1985. Whilst Geldof took the glory, Midge ure was content to stay in the shadows and organise and plan the whole event. I will always hold him in the upmost respect for that.

[@chesirekatja1698]

You should read Geldoff's book about it all, you'll see what and who was behind the whole thing, who actually went to Africa and held dying children and made a lot of the big decisions. Who called and called and wrote anyone and everyone to get the whole thing off the ground. Yes, Midge helped a lot, but it was Geldoff that did most of the legwork and got it all going. They did write the song together and i do believe Midge should get more credit for that

People don't realise that those of us that grew up in the 70's and early 80's lived with and were very aware of the ever present nuclear threat. You just can't convey the reality of it now, but it was a scary time.

[@TheJosep70]

Yes, but we just ignored it as if that would prevent it from ever happening.

[@hd-xc2lz]

Oh puh-lease. Hardly a scary time. Maybe you grew up with parents who were very anti-nuke, but our time was nothing like the late '50s to early '60s with the frequent nuke war school drills or the build-a-bomb-shelter-in-the-backyard mania. Compare the tone of a movie like War Games to that of the hundreds of in-the-event-of-nuclear-attack films of the 1950s. Three Mile Island led to no deaths, and as I recall nuclear power was then still hailed as the cleanest power by both sides of the aisle (waste disposal was not yet recognized as the problem it is today). In regards to Chernobyl, the details weren't available until the late 80s. Nuclear war and reactor failure were issues of the day in the '70s and '80s for sure, but were far more political than felt issues.

Scary how accurately the video predicted the Chernobyl disaster! The reactor core really overheated during a routine test experiment (marked here by bandmembers checking papers, yawning) and reactor exploded. Several plant engineers left for home after explosion (looking visibly unharmed) for the last time because they would be taken to special hospidal where they died a month later due the radiation illness. And their families left the town for good leaving all behind like in the video is seen.

well, they got one thing wrong. In the video it looks like the whole city explodes. That´s not what happens in a meltdown. The explosions themselves aren´t that big that you would be unable to evacuate.

[@Ineedyoulou]

It's not about Chernobyl, it's about a nuclear strike.

[@marguskiis7711]

@@Ineedyoulou its about nuclear disaster in a plant not bomb.

[@Ineedyoulou]

@@marguskiis7711 The video for this song showed an impending nuclear attack - the end of life on Earth - and the first verse (after the opening chorus) seems to reflect this. When the end is nigh, what can you do but dance?

[@Ineedyoulou]

As you can see in the video, they scramble to launch. Then everyone gets a warning of immanent nuclear attack. That's why they dance & just lay in bed for the explosion

So many of these songs hit just as hard today. Sure, they may have been about the Cold War when they were written in the 1980s, but the sentiments still apply to our world in 2020. Peace, everyone...stay safe.

I should agree partly. I'm 40, come from Slovakia, former Czechoslovakia, so 80's was the decade of a change. Also my childhood years. And music such as this was not available (easily) [became at the beginning of 90s]. So I understand that nostalgia of people like me. But I've read many comments of different people, from different countries, different age (30-70) and all of them say "Good old 80's, fuck the today'. Why is that? What was the main reason of their nostalgia? Dunno how easy was to get music in western countries in end of 80's (behind "the wall" it wasn't easy [and also not legal for 'western' music afaik]), but compare it to today - wanna music? Plenty of. Instantly. Everywhere. Maybe music devalved and todays music has no value for our ears because there is too much music everywhere. Maybe it is about social contacts - wanna music at 80's? Go to shop, go to concert, meet people. Not "open web browser and play (freely)" whatever you want. Alone. Everywhere...

Dancing with tears in my eyes Weeping for the memory of a life gone by Dancing with tears in my eyes Living out a memory of a love that died It's five and I'm driving home again It's hard to believe that it's my last time The man on the wireless cries again It's over, it's over Dancing with tears in my eyes Weeping for the memory of a life gone by Dancing with tears in my eyes Living out a memory of a love that died It's late and I'm with my love alone We drink to forget the coming storm We love to the sound of our favourite song Over and over Dancing with tears in my eyes Living out a memory of a love that died It's time and we're in each other's arms It's time but I don't think we really care Dancing with tears in my eyes Weeping for the memory of a life gone by Dancing with tears in my eyes Weeping for the memory of a life gone by Dancing with tears in my eyes
