Thompson Twins ― Love On Your Side (The Tube 1983) Live
[Month, Day, Year] featured on The Tube - Series 1 Set (1983)

'Love On Your Side' from the album 'Quick Step and Side Step' (1983)
Lyrics:
I hear you laughing in some other room
And it makes me feel locked out
You say my passion often stifles you
And you need to move about
But I was taught that boys need girls and girls need boys
You say that's not true
You'd rather fool around than be alone with me
Well, that's alright for you
'cause you got love, love, love on your side
'cause you got love, love, love on your side
'cause you got love, love, love on your side
'cause you got love, love, love on your side
I've bought you sentimental roses
But you gave them all away
I've played you all my favorite records
Then we spent the night in talking, talking all the time...
You sent me home
I was so surprised to find that after all
It doesn't hurt to be alone
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Well all the things you say make perfect sense to me
Somehow I'm still unsure
Then I catch myself going through the same old rhapsody
RAP BOY RAP!
And I don't understand just what I'm doing to myself
I guess that's nothing new
'cause when you meet someone who doesn't follow all the rules
It changes everything you do

Performed Live: [debatable considering the keyboard antics]
The Tube was a United Kingdom music television programme, which ran for five series, from 5 November 1982 to 26 April 1987.

The Tube was an important outlet for the performers in addition to being the launchpad for new and upcoming performers.

Presented live by hosts including Jools Holland, Paula Yates,
in an era where most music TV shows featured non-stop miming, the fully live sets by the guest artists were innovative though the sound quality wasn't what we enjoy today.
