ABC - 15 Storey Halo Lyrics






It'll never happen until you remove
Until you flatten your 10-20-30-40-15 storey halo

Bottle blondes and beach boys
Might marvel at the size
But honey something that big
You now the best don't advertise

Has no-one ever told you
You gotta body build to last?
But with that 15 storey deadstop
You're going nowhere, and fast

10-20-30-40! 15 storey halo!
10-20-30-40! 15 storeys high!
10-20-30-40! 15 storey halo
10-20-30-40? 7 miles wide
7 miles wide!

"Ask a judge and jury
Joe find me 12 just men
We're gonna bottle up their fury
Make sure don't happen again"

All the rebel boys got payrolled
Now they're queuing outside the bank
Like 14 carat playboys
On a trans-cool trans-world tramp

10-20-30-40! 15 storey halo!
10-20-30-40! 15 storeys high!
10-20-30-40! 15 storey halo
10-20-30-40? 7 miles wide
7 miles wide!

And so you meet this guy
A regular gala-had
A real house-trained barbarian
And so you drop him
Like a bad habit
But anything that comes along
You grab it

Oh we're all waiting
For a saving grace
Hands that soothe
Hands that smoothe the human race
Yes we're all waiting
For a saving grace
Hands that soothe
Hands that smoothe the human race

    Sounds like Shriekback...like I thought it was a misprint!

  2. S.... S....

    I remember listening to this in my dad's car when I was a kid 😀

  3. R.... R....

    Cool tune!!😃

  4. p.... j....

    Damn. Damn. How good is this? Amazing art pop. Should have been jeffing massive. It's their Campbells soup tins.

  5. H.... K....

    "But with that 15 storey deadstop
    You're going nowhere, and fast"
    I used to think he was saying,
    "But with that 15 storey Death Star
    You're going nowhere, and fast"

  6. H.... K....

    If I didn't know better, I'd say booger sugar had something to do with it!

  7. H.... K....

    I once had weird dream in which the video for this song was an XXX video clip starring Martin Fry! It was more comical than erotic. VERY weird though!

  8. T.... S....

    Me and my fellow choir geeks would sing this song for fun and warm up back in high school, this and "Leave It", by YES. Bak when I was young and talented! lol

  9. u.... ....

    My god, this is fantastic. How come this song was not released as a single?
    If you do not move to this song, you're dead.

    u.... ....

    Or should be? #contentious

  10. G.... M....

    Thanks a lot

  11. g.... l....

    Fantastic, simple as that.

  12. s.... ....

    Around 3 minutes 20 in when the instrumental part kicks in and "the hands that soothe the human race" part begins - still makes the hairs on the back of neck stand on end! Fantastic song.

    s.... ....

    L.... V....

    Omg...is Manitoba Lotteries OK, Ceiling Master Mike?

  18. R.... C....

    This is one of the best unreleased songs of the 80's. I always play it for fans of the 80's who have never heard it. Thanks for posting. It was a strange funk-phase for ABC, but it all worked in this great pop song! (It's the same beat as Mambo # 5, perhaps a great DJ could mix the two) #5 Storey Halo or 15 Storey Mambo!!

  19. P.... C....

    Wish someone would upload the video of ABC performing this on The Lenny Henry Show. was up for a short time. Love to see it again. Please upload.

  20. d.... ....

    were you drunk when you wrote this?

    :o)

    d.... ....

    Some of the best songs were written while "drunk" !
