Visage - Blocks On Blocks Lyrics






Reflections, of the river passing by
Reflections, of the place between the sky
It's too black, casting shadows
On the bridges built so close to that aura

Walking to the sign before my eyes
Dreaming it's too late to realise
Stop! You've gone too far this time
You're toying with reality

Blocks on blocks are all around
Neon lit for silent sound
[x3]

Figures, in a doorway in the night
Dancing, moving shadows with the light
Talking, to a stranger
On the bridges built so close to that aura

Standing, on a runway all alone
Listening, to an engine heading home
Crying, on the inside
Wishing I could get away from that aura

Blocks on blocks are all around
Neon lit for silent sound
[x3]

Lying, on the runway all alone
Listening, to an engine heading home
Stop! you've gone too far this time
You're toying with reality

Blocks on blocks are all around
Neon lit for silent sound
[x3]

    Reflections, of the river passing by
    Reflections, of the place between the sky
    It's too black, casting shadows
    On the bridges built so close to that aura

    Walking (to the sign) before my eyes
    Dreaming (it's too late) to realise
    Stop! You've gone too far this time
    You're toying with reality

    Blocks on blocks are all around
    Neon lit for silent sound

    Figures (in a doorway) in the night
    Dancing (moving shadows) with the light
    Talking to a stranger
    On the bridges built so close to that aura

    Standing, on a runway all alone
    Listening, to an engine heading home
    Crying, on the inside
    Wishing I could get away from that aura

    Lying, on the runway all alone
    Listening to an engine heading home
    Stop! you've gone too far this time
    You're toying with reality

    Found this beauty on LP on a flea market for 2$. Shame it's scratched but it still feels great to have a bit of 80s history in your hands :P

  16. R.... a....

    Bellissima

  17. G.... M....

    Crazy bass line

  18. B.... ....

    @warminator...I'd guess it's McGeoch, rather than Ure, on this track. Sure sounds like McGeoch's work with Magazine, at any rate.

    B.... ....

    Same with the bass , sounds like Adamson to me .

  19. C.... J....

    I think this is from 1980

    C.... J....

    @건희정 ...and remains timeless! :)

    C.... J....

    @Jeff ory In fact, I accidentally listened to it on late December 2009, when I was under entrance exam to Hanyang Univ.

    C.... J....

    @건희정 Great record....do you like any Ultravox?

    C.... J....

    @Jeff ory Ultravox.... seldom do I know it

    C.... J....

    @건희정 check out "Reap the Wild Wind"...u may like it...

  20. S.... C....

    visage the Dancer

    S.... C....

  21. T.... ....

    I miss my eyeliner stick, wonderful times, I'd sell my soul for just one day in 81 . cheers people

  22. C.... ....

    When people mention Visage it`s usually "fade to grey", but other works were so outstanding just like this song.
    Well clever & clean production with an out fading guitar solo that could have lasted a bit longer for my taste. :)

    Me--suv xyzenienten. Nope. Ferrari: "this band will never opened a payment. Visa will not? What ever. A sorry? Visage sucks. Phi1 me drives to all day day long."

  23. m.... ....

    My favourite Visage's song!

    m.... ....

    +maximum96 The bass!!!!

  24. L.... W....

    Aaah, yep, Visage did do this. I have this on Ep  (safely stored vinyl of 30 years). Priceless and I never sell my collection of vinyl, cassettes and CD's. 1000's of music I bought in my house to small to store it all but never selling. Going to my Daughter eventually.

  25. J.... B....

    Visage, the whole album is really great!

  26. S.... H....

    Verbeer manor Tiverton Devon, Ford Cortina 2L this in the cassette deck those were the days !

  27. m.... ....

    new romantic

  28. t.... ....

    @alexiscoolerthenyou agree totally, one of my fave songs by them on the Visage album!

  29. t.... ....

    THIS is one of my fave songs by Visage :-) Love Steve Visage......"stop" you're toying with reality.

  30. m.... ....

    ha..it sounds more like nigga's to me..makes more sense anyway...tee hee. hell no i just heard it again..it ain't vegas..

  31. G.... ....

    @Gary190tube ...or it might be "Figures in a doorway"... lol

  32. G.... ....

    @mekosilvar I think he said "Vegas...in a doorway in the night"

  33. d.... ....

    this one is new romantics awesome

  34. j.... g....

    Love da whip!!

  35. w.... ....

    You know, i think this still is one of the best fusions of musicians on an album. At the Right time, at the right place.
    Until today "blocks" still seems to have a sexy & weird charme.

    I`d love to know who`s on the guitar in the end. Is it Ure or Mc.Geoch?

  36. m.... ....

    so he started what is really big.. so you just...."he said just said nigga's in a doorway in the night.." " dancing".. in correct or whatever it should never be changed just because it had to be what was being felt at the momment or he wouldnt of said it...
    I was 14 when this came out and loved the music and all of the new wave looks were great..it was so different..I fell now this was very underground..way underrated dance movement..

  37. Z.... ....

    I Have this album on Vinyl :)

  38. C.... W....

    This is when Ultravox was'nt working with them, but this sounds great

    C.... W....

    Midge was working with them

  39. t.... ....

    This is one of my faves by Visage. I have the Visage album on CD. First heard this song in the 80's of course! Thanks for posting. They were the pioneers of 80's new wave. :)

  40. A.... ....
