Visage - Visa-Age Lyrics






Name the place, for a rendez-vous
Name the time and I'll get to you
Take a train, take a motorway
And take a plane, take it any day
And take a drink, as you leave the ground
Time to think, hearing headphone sound
Close your eyes, you're drifting far away
Realise, that you'll be home today

Visa-age
(I know the place)
Visa-age
(I can't forget)
Visa-age
(I'll go direct)
Visa-age

Leave the trash, of your life behind
It's time to move, shake those ties that bind
Letting go, all that's old and blue
You've gotta know, just where you're going to
So take a chance and take a case in hand
We find romance, it's a far off land
Close your eyes, you're drifting far away
And realise, you could be there today

Visa-age
(A different town)
Visa-age
(Another place)
Visa-age
(Destinations)
Visa-age

I know you from somewhere
I know we've met

Visa-age
(A different town)
Visa-age
(Another place)
Visa-age
(These destinations)
Visa-age

So faint in the distance
A speck on the map
A stamp on my passport
No time to look back...

    I loveeeee this song and album!

  2. o.... ....

    that first visage album is something truly special - somehow unsurpassed to this day

    what happened to all their videos

  5. F.... B....

    Visage, both in sound and image, appears to have been far ahead of its time. The sounds of these songs from 1980 resemble Patrick Cowley's 1982 Mind Warp album and resemble nothing that reached the mainstream until trance became popular on the Internet and the DJ's would mess around and make sounds like this. Image-wise, it's proto-goth/dark cabaret, but without the over-the-top lyrics or shock value- subtler and smarter.

    F.... B....

    Hi Felix, well said and spot on...This track, amongst many that Visage produced, would sound brilliant in Steve`s old club, Camden Palace in London (Now known as KOKO)...The venue is brilliant and for anyone planning to see a gig at this venue they`re in for a great night, in one of the most stylish venues anywhere. Cheers Felix, have a good one.

    one of my fave tracks from this album which we were proud of owning in those days. The pinnacle album for new romantics. oh and thanx midge ure for playing fade to grey in the powderham castle concert in july. I walked home from there and slept well! x

  12. G.... K....

    I love Visage. I've listened to their songs for ages. I was certain I'd heard them all! I always dismissed this to be the same as Visage. God, I was foolish! I'm so happy I found another of theirs though! Bought this album today (another one :) ) and it was a wonderful suprise when this came on. I LOVE it! Complete genius this album and all their work really. An Easter miracle :,) rip Steve. No one made or makes music like you. I wish the 80s would have a big comeback again. Only more of a new romantic come back this time. I'd love that. I wasn't alive then and I'd love to experience it! Who cares? I do new romantic anyway, but I'd love other people my age to know about it! Wonderful stuff!

  13. t.... w....

    I played the hell out of this album and The Anvil................the stuff they did back then.....just F'ing great.  The crap they call music today, nothing comes close!

    t.... w....

    Totally agree. I don't listen to the charts anymore. We are living in an age of blandness with the likes of Oly Murs and Bruno Mars. Gone is the excitement and creativity in music. Technology may not have been as great as it is today but music was certainly much better x

    t.... w....

    +bingoace to be honest the late 70's and 80's still keeps me going, no need for the crap out there now. Cheers

    t.... w....

    +TheGodParticle I agree 100%, I don't even know who the fuck bruno mars is......After '89 music went to hell and it's only getting worse!!   Unfortunately, after Midge Ure left Visage, they kinda went downhill and after Beat Boy I quit listening but always will love Steve.....RIP!

    t.... w....

    I disagree  ...........................….Bruno Mars has some good synth work on his records

    I love Steve Strange so much!

  21. M.... P....

    New Age great.

  22. j.... ....

    Music is every bit as great today as it was back then . . . you just got to the age where most people stop filtering through the garbage to find the gems (when we are young we do this almost without noticing it). When we were young, "old people" in their 40s and up were saying the same things people our age now are saying about music . . . "todays music sucks, if only it were like the good ol' days!" We associate the music of our youth with that amazing time of our life, so we romanticize it.

    j.... ....

    Partly agree. But loads of bands try the uttermost to bore people. There are little brilliants hidden away, also nowadays. But imagine to hear a song like Fade to Grey and the openingstune of The Damned don't Cry. It woud revolutionize the boring charts all over again. Visage made it possible to make you find it easily for anybody with a radio. It was great and in the charts. That's the difference.

  23. u.... ....

    Completely agree!!!! the 1980s New Wave is still my favorite music current!!!

  24. T.... ....

    It was a good album but The Anvil had class..

  25. M.... G....

    I'm 18!!! Couldn't believe the guys in Ultravox were in Visage!!!

  26. S.... K....

    I am 50 and still love this band. Know I'm gonna sound like an old fogey, but a lot of todays "music" all sounds the same. On SongPop I can't distinguish them - lots of copycat stuff so it's impossible to get the right answer.

  27. p.... p....

    Top tune,give it some bass !!

  28. A.... C....

    Smart comment!

  29. S.... F....

    Great song, great band. Great album.This is the music of my youth.

  30. V.... E....

    @22ndWave I agree with that too :)

  31. M.... ....

    @Gary190tube

    True, but our parents (I actually discovered Visage in 1999, when I was in my teens and into discovering music I wasn't around to have heard when it was new) weren't bombarded by the music they didn't understand whenever they read the newspapers, turned on the tv, logged into the internet (had it existed back then).

    Today artists are shamelessly marketed, on all forms of media 24/7. It's totally in your face. You can't even look away anymore or pretend it's not there.

  32. G.... ....

    @McLarenMercedes what I find interesting is this: our parents didn't like our music because it was either too loud, too weird, too subversive, or just too original for them to get their heads round.

    Nowadays we don't like our kid's music because it's either too boring, too bland, too middle-of-the-road or just too unoriginal. A complete reversal.

    Every generation has their own tastes of course but I'd love to see some more creativity in the charts.

  33. m.... ....

    a great family tree of Ultravox/Rich Kids/Gary Numan

    m.... ....

    And Magazine ofcourse.

  34. 2.... ....

    @broilet The 80s was a great period. I think guys are mainly embaressed about it because a lot of them wore makeup and guyliner in the 80s. Personally I think they looked better like that than today with backwards caps and jeans hanging down below the ass.

  35. M.... ....

    @broilet

    I agree.

    The problem is that this is also the era in which a lot of "moderately talented" artists got a lot of play on MTV, and good videos sold not-so-good music. In the radio days, the song mattered, not how the artists themselves looked.

    Fortunately a lot of kids today have been introduced to the innovative sounds of the early 80's they never knew existed (or even most people back then knew existed). Not on the radio or MTV? Then it doesn't exist. Sad but true.

    Today it's hell.

  36. V.... E....

    @broilet Too true I agree

  37. x.... ....

    I mean it's at LEAST an objective fact that music popping up like this at the time was actually unique and fresh, unlike anything being made today.

  38. x.... ....

    @habeebee Those older people were entitled to their views, but they were wrong. :) They'll probably even admit it in retrospect when comparing it today's pop garbage.

  39. H.... ....

    @MrKillswitch88 Ha -- of course, back in 1981 or 1982, the 40-year olds were saying pretty much the same thing about music like this .. the older people who had loved elvis or the beatles, back then, thought that tracks like this one by visage were just "screeching noise". There you go...

  40. G.... ....

    Trouble is the younger generation are fed a diet of crap in terms of music.
    Lets face it, if youre brought up on shit, you end up liking shit!

  41. S.... A....

    @TheSYNTHOID I can believe you. I had all the Collections from Visage. I group who was influenced from other's in the end 70's

  42. M.... ....

    This is what real music sounds like and not screeching noise and obscenities.

  43. W.... R....

    @dakamp1
    I hear you on that.
    People born in the late 70s are pretty isolated with todays generation Y who don't have a clue about music in general.

  44. s.... ....

    this album is great and I am 41.:) the 80's rule in terms of new wave music

  45. d.... ....

    @TriumVirateABAP your right alot of people come down on this type of music becasue its not rap or rock and they say people who listen to synth pop are weird are gay thats so dumb this is the music of the future

  46. d.... ....

    @FaceInTheRain i hate that kids my age cant understand synthpop or new wave or whatever they rather listen to lady gaga or lil wayne im 20 now and really want to make my own synth band to show that its still alive and that it has and always will be the music of the future

  47. 1.... ....

    Another Masterpiece!Great Album.. when i come back to school at home, in the first shadows of evening,i was alone in my house and when put this Album on my record player i was very scared from this wonderful Music, especially when finish Visa-Age and comes...The Steps..Beautiful memories...

  48. p.... ....

    yay yay visage GO!
    To bad they didn't keep the production quality up in their later albums.
    This is the best album... just amazing+visionary - pretty much all the way through.

  49. T.... M....

    Visage are largely overlooked except maybe for 'Fade To Grey',but people forget that besides Steve Strange and his make-ups there were Midge Ure,Barry Adamson,John McGeogh from Magazine,and this makes it a great proyect.This song is proof.

    T.... M....

    Stereoluv people also forget the producer was genius Martin Rushent who went on to produce human leagues dare

  50. L.... O....

    Best Visage album period!
