Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Two Tribes Lyrics






Ladies and gentlemen, let me present-
FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD
Possibly the most important thing.
This side of the world........

Oh yeah, well I........

Let's go

[1]-When two tribes go to war
A point is all you can score
When two tribes go to war
A point is all you can score

Cowboy No. 1
A born-again poor man's son
On the air America
I modelled shirts by Van Heusen-yeah

You know

[Repeat 1]

Working on the black gas

Switch off your shield
Switch off and feel
I'm working on loving-yeah
Giving you back the good times
Ship it out-out
I'm working for the black gas

[Repeat 1]

We got two tribes
We got the bomb
We got the bomb-yeah
Sock it to me biscuits-now

Are we living in a land
Where sex and horror are the new Gods?
Yeah

When two tribes go to war
A point is all you can score

Frankie Goes To Hollywood Two Tribes Comments
  1. T.... S....

    Way ahead of it's time...
    UK number one in 1984 for 9 weeks
    UK number one in 1984 for 9 weeks

  2. H.... C....

    When two tyres score to one....I thought he was singing for many many years.

  3. E.... J....

    iconic tune from 1984 how the hell is this a third of a century old??
    One of the iconic tunes of the 80's.
    One of the iconic tunes of the 80's.

  4. C.... C....

    Frightening how nothing much has really changed in 30 years!
    I was scared of nuclear war then, but now I'm back to being scared again....

  5. S.... T....

    I play this about my ex husband and always will. Cunt.

  6. K.... W....

    What a brilliant song in my opinion better than relax and the video so of the times

  7. j.... o....

    WHAT A VIDEO,,,, THE 80S HAD THE BEST.

  8. S.... J....

    So folks, in 36 years whats changed? Faces have changed but the same actors are in place and the Cold War goes on. Why does the Cold War go on? Because America needs an Enemy.

  9. J.... B....

    The way that ended was timed so right that it leaves you speechless. Like when I heard Eddie Van Halen play on their first album in 1979. When you die one day, you want to be buried with that music. :)

  10. T.... t....

    Still powerful song

  11. N.... R....

    Trump in video

  12. D.... H....

    *Britain* makes the playlist for the world!

  13. P.... ....

    If only we could do this today. Trump vs. Putin vs The President of Brazil. No holds barred death match to the death and the sole survivor gets thrown in jail for the rest of their lives for being a dickhead towards all of humanity.

  14. G.... F....

    "When you hear the air attack warning, you and your family must take cover..."

  15. T.... ....

    Trevor's horn.

  16. M.... H....

    The best 80s pop group IMHO.This was the first ever 12 inch record i ever bought.Still holds up today.

  17. T.... ....

    Regan & Yeltsin?

    T.... ....

    Konstantin Ustinowitsch Tschernenko

  18. A.... J....

    This was a chart topper in 1984? Why?
    I get the message but the music is horrible.

    A.... J....

    What's wrong with you? It's a great song! The Frankies are very highly rated here in the UK!

  19. J.... d....

    This video was very appropriate until Trump started blowing up shitbags with drones.
    Next time Putin takes off his shirt or Xi goes out for Chinese, they will be wondering.

  20. v.... t....

    sex education! 😍

  21. C.... J....

    There are no winners in war and yet it is still being pushed by the powers that be. So sad, 2020 let's give peace a chance for a change eh?

  22. A.... S....

    Liverpool vs Manchester United

  23. L.... D....

    "Bitch! You gave me chlamydia!!"

  24. v.... l....

    Sex education Netflix brought me here

  25. S.... U....

    Same old bullshit today. I grew up in a nuclear target and it didn't scare me in the eighties neither do you pathetic little weapons of mass destruction scare today.

  26. T.... ....

    Brilliant brilliant brilliant.
    This is how it would look if ever those who have the power to pull the trigger actually had to fight.
    A pathetic and comical event.

  27. T.... ....

    Would love to see a remake of this.
    Trump vs Putin

    T.... ....

    But they get along (sort of)

  28. I.... R....

    Imagine redoing this now but a Power if Love with Trump and Putin ?

  29. G.... W....

    Spose to be Boris yelstin of Russia and cowboy reagan

    G.... W....

    Konstantin Ustinovich Chernenko

  30. D.... W....

    After this watch The Power of Love

  31. R.... ....

    There was a time where the dancefloor was POLITIC and ACTIVISM

  32. R.... 1....

    Washington vs Tehran. ITs happening people. BRING. IT. ON!!!

  33. M.... T....

    This needs to be remade with the Orange Man and Ayatollah Khomeini fighting it out.

  34. A.... H....

    USA Trump with IRAN Rouhani Round One FIGHT

  35. A.... A....

    Trump vs Iran's president
    It was predicted from 12 years.

    A.... A....

    Obama was kissing our enemies ass. Trump has a spine

    A.... A....

    Trump won bigly

    A.... A....

    its tramp?

    A.... A....

    @Max De Kiewit Lies 😂

    A.... A....

    @Max De Kiewit Trump is a moronic warmonger that just wants to fight for other country's oil and gold

  36. b.... ....

    STILL RELEVANT IN 2020

    b.... ....

    It will be relevant until the human species is extinct.

  37. D.... C....

    2020 Resurrection ... Or has this always about now, and is that Trump ?

  38. w.... s....

    in 1987ish I crash my mini 1275 gt into a mini metro and this was playing on the radio as it hung out of dash on its wires .. those were the days...

  39. N.... K....

    when you hear the air warning hit the cellars or just die.

    N.... K....

    Glad I'm not the only one listening to cold war songs after hearing about ww3 😂

  40. A.... ....

    In 2020 it's going down and it starts in Iran.

    A.... ....

  41. B.... ....

    Just a bit topical at the moment

  42. M.... P....

    The ideal war: one on one.

    I love it wen the American president gets the shit kicked out of him in this thats the funniest part of tis video, only wish they replaced the guy playing te American president with the orange haired punk trump with the shit kicked out of him they need update this video this what I call a music video.

  44. I.... ....

  45. M.... W....

    loved this song thought there was going to be a nuclear war in the 80s but wow it didnt happen

  46. e.... h....

    so sollte es eigenlich sein wenn merkel meint sie sich mit allen anlegegen zu müssen und dehn ire doktrine aufbügel zu müssen

  47. m.... n....

    Putin would win in the ring. No contest.

  48. W.... W....

    Regan and Cherenko lumbered like the demented senile zombies that they are.

  49. D.... L....

    I remember this song mostly as the instrumental background from the scores were displayed/read out from the American football games on channel 4 in the mid/late eighties.

  50. L.... N....

    Funny how Chernenko and Reagan flip each other off before they fight 😂😂😂

  51. U.... P....

    U.... P....

    Hope has never been greater you brainwashed little sheep. Go watch TV.

  60. P.... C....

    Trump v the world brace yourself for ww111. No holds barred. 😎😎😎💣💣💣

  61. F.... D....

    It's still so fuckin actual this song.

  62. D.... H....

    I think it is only now, almost *40* years later, that we realise how fucking amazing this was!

    D.... H....

    Deep Heat awesome timeless classic!

  63. M.... F....

    the spectators are Swiss

  64. P.... B....

    80s were crazy years..

  65. T.... C....

    30 years ago today the Berlin Wall fell, representing freedom across all of Europe, too bad the EU picked up where the Soviets left off.

  66. R.... M....

    What a band fkn class 👌👍✌

  67. C.... M....

    God I miss the 80s. I'm 50 in 2019, and I sometimes CRY thinking about the 1980s- Atari, arcades, KROQ in L.A., this, neon clothes, tans, mirrored sunglasses. People were happy in the 1980s- before MILLIONS of illegals poured in, social media, and CNN fake new

    C.... M....

    Apparently you missed the point of the video. In the '80's, we were scared shitless of nuclear war.

    C.... M....

    @Jamie Briscoe nah

  68. S.... R....

    Brilliantly witty yet still serious song and video.

  69. G.... ....

    2019 still awesome. stop making this about Trump....hes good for the country. Sometimes we need a bully....grow some fucking balls

  70. R.... J....

    the useless state of British remainer politics with the useless European union

  71. M.... T....

    When you hear the air attack warning you and your family must take cover

  72. m.... w....

    i bloody love frankie goes to hollywood

  73. W.... ....

    The song gets 6666 votes up and I cannot spoil it.
    Instead I added it to my "My 80's" playlist.

  74. W.... s....

    Boris Johnson vs Jeremy Corbyn 😂😂😂😂

    W.... s....

    And the winner is....... Democracy 😎🇬🇧

    W.... s....

    JC all the way 🌹🌹🌹🌹

    W.... s....

    @Graham Gibbins Is it fuck 😂😂😂

  75. l.... ....

    A bassline to make the average millennial die from excitement.....

    l.... ....

    lewstone1969
    Bassline a bit repetitive and monotonous. You seem stuck in the past...

  76. v.... ....

    Seeing as how this was uploaded in 2007 when YouTube was pretty much 240p video running in Adobe Flash and things have improved since then, any chance of a reupload with better audio and visual quality?

  77. M.... L....

    Aberdeen Scotland 1984 bought this 12"at 1-up records! ;)

  78. M.... H....

    Wonderful

  79. m.... ....

  81. M.... ....

    Ronald Reagan (USA 🇺🇸) vs Konstantin Oestinovitsj Tsjernenko (Soviet Union)

    M.... ....

    Some fight . . . by 1984, 73 year old Reagan (according to his son) was experiencing early signs of cognitive lapses and dementia and Konstantin Chernenko would die months later at 73, remembered only as a stop-gap between Andropov and Gorbachev.
