Ultravox
Dancing With Tears In My Eyes
Ultravox Dancing With Tears In My Eyes is the second single from Lament, the group's seventh studio album, released in 1984.
The single effectively put Ultravox back on the map, peaking at #3 in the UK single charts, and reaching the top 10 in many European countries.The song is about the possibility of a nuclear power plant meltdown. The music video depicts Midge Ure running home after discovering that a nuclear explosion is imminent. The video ends with the power plant exploding, and the powerful image of a recorded home video of Ure, his wife and their child, with the visual effect of a melting film. The 7" single was released in three versions: with a standard picture sleeve, with a gate-fold booklet sleeve, and with a gate-fold booklet sleeve and a clear vinyl disc. All versions had the same catalogue number, "UV 1", and the same tracks. The 12" was released in two versions, with the same catalogue number "UVX 1": in a stickered gatefold sleeve containing a band poster and in a standard picture sleeve.
Ultravox Dancing With Tears In My Eyes 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
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 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
Living out a memory of a love that died
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
