Sparks - The Rhythm Thief Lyrics






I am the rhythm thief
Say goodbye to the beat
I am the rhythm thief
Auf wiedersehen to the beat

Oh no, where did the groove go, where did the groove go, where did the groove go?
Lights out, Ibiza
Where did the groove go, where did the groove go, where did the groove go?

You'll never get it back, you'll never get it back,
The rhythm thief has got it and you'll never get it back
You'll never get it back, you'll never get it back,
The rhythm thief has got it and you'll never get it back
You'll never get it back, you'll never get it back,
The rhythm thief has got it and you'll never get it back

Lights out, Ibiza
I am the rhythm thief
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

  1. A.... K....

    Одна из моих самых любимых композиций у Спаркс. Клип тоже отличный как оказалось.

  2. A.... B....

    I noticed something a moment ago🤔🤔🤔
    Isn't the woman in the video very much alike a young Kate Bush??
    I had a YT suggestion on a Kate Bush documentary, with her face in front of me at the same time as this woman's face. A remarkable likeness, I think. Or is it just me?

  3. J.... B....

    Ron makes an awesome Rhythm Thief.

  4. g.... ....

    Such an amazing band. Fans of Sparks may get a kick out of this new cover of "Talent Is An Asset" featuring Albert Einstein!

  5. E.... A....

    Say goodbye to the beat.

  6. C.... D....

    Needs better quality : (

  7. P.... ....

    This would be my number 1 reason to buy the Bluray singles collection.
    Please upscaling all the material, I hope that dont lose for the future.

  8. T.... M....

    They’re playing this on their 2018 tour. Saw them tonight in Leeds, UK; they were absolutely fantastic.

    T.... M....

    I was there too and they did some blinding songs

  9. N.... N....

    The last song i would play every night as a DJ. Perf signature

  10. A.... Z....

    I'm actually glad some fools disliked this video. Like the Sex Pistols, I don't think this manifesto of a song would prove authentic if it didn't irritate some people.

    Lil' Beethoven should have kicked off a new genre in music, and we are long overdue for one. 15 years and still waiting for the imitators to catch on.

    A.... Z....

    Maybe no one could think of a name for it.

    A.... Z....

    @AliasUndercover, like the album 'No. 1 In Heaven', which was placed in a pile of other recordings no-one really didn't know what to do with. In this case, how to label it! Luckily some-one else found it, listened and put it in the presses!
    Question is, why must everything have a label? Music, any art, even people? 🤔 Does it really matter if an artist makes blues, soul, rock, pop or whatever, as long as we like it?
    (As well as how people look or talk, as long as they don't assalt or disturb others. As in 'The Ghost Of Liberace'.)

    A.... Z....

    Baroque pop has been around for ages, most notably Neil Hannon's Divine Comedy which I think might have had some inspiration from Spark's irreverence. Does not make it any less groundbreaking or intelligent though.

  11. t.... f....

    Très beau, images et musique.

  12. V.... ....

    Sparks .....they are Aliens who have remained on Earth to musicate us !!!!!!!!!!!!

    V.... ....

    And teach us about ourselves and everything peculiar and stupid we do!! A never ending work, I'm afraid, but also very happy that we have these marvelous guys to point out things so beautifully🤩💖💖💖💖

  13. s.... ....

    gen·ius

  14. P.... D....

    Was this uploaded on a potato? The video quality is dreadful!

  15. z.... ....

    Úžasná každá sekunda hudby aj videa.

  16. Y.... S....

    どうだ!!

  17. p.... ....

    I don't believe there's anything 'offical' about this channel. The sound quality of this video is appalling and video itself is very low res.

    p.... ....

    The image quality says 2002 but the audik fidelity says 1902!

    p.... ....

    disagree

    p.... ....

    It's supposed to be. It's mimicking an old cinematic style, with strong blacks and whites, a grainy camera-film (audio and visual). I'm not an expert, but I would guess 1920s to 1930s art-house style.

    I think it's great.

    p.... ....

    pigsbish

    p.... ....

    IF you bother to LISTEN, in the beginning and ending, when Russell says "I am the rhythm thief, say goodbye to the beat" sound is clear as chrystal. Which it also is when said in the same way in the middle of the song.
    Definitely everything is on purpose. As the grainy parts of the video.
    If you done your homework on Sparks you should know how creative and artful they are, also how they build their music in a very clever way. Nothing is left to fortuity. To present music on a video must be the ultimate ways of extend their visions, and on this one working with friends Olivier Kuntzel and Florence Deygas, who are well-known artists, often working with video and film.

    AND... It IS Sparks' official channel...

    (You can read in the info part who the directors are, Kuntzel o Deygas. Amongst MANY other well-known works they have done is the start title part of the movies 'Catch Me If You Can ' and 'The Pink Panter'. They share an interest in combining visuals and audio.)

  18. J.... R....

    Awesome.

  19. G.... ....

    "Light out Ibiza" is the same like Nietzsches "God is dead"! Sag ich mal so :-) GREAT song! Wunderbar!

  20. F.... c....

    Oh my God! Every time when I listen old songs I understand? that all songs are sang? and nothing better can be in our time.

    F.... c....

    Perhaps a new Sparks album? 🤔 It's in process!
    Written Sept 29, 2019.😃

  21. t.... ....

    Awesome. As a fan of Half Man Half Biscuit I know all about bands who are best remembered for a brief brush with mainstream success even though their later work was ten million times better.

  22. M.... P....

    This song is so hypnotizing,awesome!! It makes me remember my childhood and i don't know why

    M.... P....

    You never get it back? 🤔

  23. S.... G....

    This track becomes more relevant every year.

  24. e.... C....

    wow!!!!!!

  25. A.... H....

    Why is this not more noticed? This video is art!

    A.... H....

    It's the same directors as to the official video for 'The Calm Before The Storm' ('Balls' 2000) Kuntzel + Deygas.

  26. j.... ....

    "Auf Wiedersehen to the beat!"

  27. C.... H....

    More brilliant sparks xx

  28. R.... D....

    Sparks genius!

  29. J.... ....

    Sparks can steal my rhythm any day !!

  30. J.... L....

    just brilliant

  31. G.... ....

    Thats explains why all music today sounds like it does lol

    G.... ....

    still havent made it to a sparks concert. came close last year but didnt find out til the day before . and a two hr one way drive....would have been worth it. correct that i did see their angst in my pants tour....must be getting old

    G.... ....

    @Kenneth Bohl Aahhh... Probably nothing 😉😆
    "Something to tell you
    But now I forget
    Probably nothing
    Some little story
    No, nothing, not yet
    Probably nothing...." 😂

    I know, I've got the same symptoms... 🤔🤔🤔😶🙄

  32. d.... ....

    OH no! ...Where did the Grammy go?.. pure genius!
    This upload audio was a little hot and clippie.
    "Ibiza town" and the island off Spain of the same name "Ibiza"-
    I guess are/is known for their/it's electronica nightclubs.
    Who knew? - the Mael brothers did.

  33. J.... ....

    buy "Kimono My House" and "Propaganda". You won't be disappointed. I'm a newbie myself.

  34. b.... r....

    KUNTZEL DEYGAS ARE THE BEST !

  35. E.... W....

    Unfortunately I haven't heard that much of these guys yet, but holy shit yes, this video is amazing.

    E.... W....

    I hope you've done a deep dive into them by now :-)

  36. c.... ....

    And that was The Storm after The Calm. Or, rather, the first storm!

  37. m.... ....

    Awesome! Very cool!

  38. D.... T....
