Visage - Beat Boy Lyrics






(Beat boy...)

The siren screams to start the day
You get up early to earn your pay
Push the button throw that switch
Turbines roar their unholy pitch

I listen I can hear
Pounding like thunder
Pistons push the steel on steel
Steam filled air turns the wheel
The wheel in turn takes the strain
Pounds the beat again and again

(Beat boy...)
Metal on metal
The feeling of steel
Someone is driving
But you've got the wheel

The workers sing the same old song
Machines in motion they're never wrong
You think in time you will be free
But a factory man is what you'll be

I listen I can hear
Pounding like thunder
Pistons push the steel on steel
Steam filled air turns the wheel
The wheel in turn takes the strain
Pounds the beat again and again

(Beat boy...)
Metal on metal
The feeling of steel
Someone is driving
But you've got the wheel

(Someone is driving...)
Pistons push the steel on steel
Steam filled air turns the wheel
The wheel in turn takes the strain
Pounds the beat again and again

(Beat boy...)

Metal on metal
The feeling of steel
Someone is driving
But you've got the wheel
[x2]

Angry young men look to the west
Speak for yourself you'll pass the test
Fortune beholds the brave so they say
Questions unanswered the risk they might pay

I listen I can hear
Pounding like thunder

(Beat boy...)

    what a great singer and a dancer  and the music is great

  12. p.... ....

    Everyone goes on about Strange as though it's all his effort, but without the like's of Barry Adamson and Dave Formula and John McGeoch of Magazine and Billy Currie and Midge Ure of Ultravox and DJ and sometime drummer Rusty Egan there wouldn't of been Visage. John McGeoch and Steve rip.

    p.... ....

    They are all very talented

  13. T.... L....

    This reminds me of a dance club in Toronto, mid-80s. Great song, great times!

  14. r.... d....

    bad sinth-rock track.

  15. H.... ....

    What does this video have to do with the song, looks like the song title should be renamed (my holidays snaps from Kenya) not Beat boy

    H.... ....

    The videos that Visage did i.e. Beat Boy Love Glove were only put together to fill a VHS tape the record company authorised the budget for this hence. Not his usual standard soon after the no more funding was available and Visage were dropped

  16. H.... B....

    Dead and forgotten

  27. n.... j....

    Inspiring

  28. T.... ....

    This is totally naff, I don't want to state the obvious, but as soon as midge ure and billy currie left visage to form ultravox. That sealed the fate of strange, he was doing heroin big time and and basically a pain in the arse, pun not intended, sorry Steve, you had it all but now it's gone..

    T.... ....

    This is how you treat a person dying; by posting something hateful? Certainly, more people will mourn Strange's passing than yours.

     Ignorance personified. 

    T.... ....

    I ended with RIP and Strange was a good performer . Got nothing to do with being hateful. Just give credit to all of them . 

    T.... ....

    @zar athustra TheGodParticle posted their comment 3 months before Steve Strange died

    T.... ....

    +bardo0007 No but Steve Strange was the image and (no pun intended) the face of Visage...

    T.... ....

    I met Steve in 2013 and he was a gentleman. My 80s hero and still nice looking xx

  29. J.... B....

    feeling beats

  30. R.... G....

    So mutant.

  31. j.... ....

    anyone else wanting one of those tigers to maul steve and end this shocker

  32. S.... ....

    Yes. It's a really odd combination! :)

  33. T.... ....

    Not a bad song but i think they run out of cash to make a good video instead of this one off cheap trip to north africa.

  34. l.... S....

  35. M.... C....

    Great song!

  36. E.... T....
