ABC
One of the more popular new wave bands of the early '80s, the British group ABC built upon the detached, synthesized R&B pop of David Bowie and Roxy Music, adding a self-conscious, campy sense of theatrics and style. Under the direction of vocalist Martin Fry , the group scored several catchy, synth-driven dance-pop hits in the early '80s, including "Poison Arrow," "Look of Love," and "Be Near Me." Toward the end of 1982, the group began concentrating on the United States. Their American success was helped greatly by the fledgling MTV network, which aired videos for "The Look of Love" and "Poison Arrow" frequently, making both singles Top 25 hits in the spring of 1983.
Kiss Me Goodbye
I never promised you eternity
I never meant to be unkind
All I gave
You returned to me
But love's the last thing on my mind
Nothing in this world's invincible
No-one's heart is made of stone
And though I know I'm yours in principle
I'm the one thing you'll never own
If you can live your life without me
Turn and walk away
Minutes turn to hours
Hours turn to days
If you can't stand a single moment
Then go
But kiss me goodbye
Kiss me Kiss me Kiss me
Kiss me goodbye
Kiss me goodbye
I never promised you infinity
I never swore on oath for you
Did you expect the holy trinity
In all I say and all that I do?
If you can live your life without me
Turn and walk away
Minutes turn to hours
Hours turn to days
If you can't stand a single moment
Then go
But kiss me goodbye
Kiss me Kiss me Kiss me
Kiss me goodbye
Kiss me goodbye
It's not emotional extravagance
We've said farewell a thousand times
Why pretend there'll be a second chance
Unless this last kiss changes you mind?
If you can live your life without me
Turn and walk away
Minutes turn to hours
Hours turn to days
If you can't stand a single moment
Then go
But kiss me goodbye
Kiss me Kiss me Kiss me
Kiss me goodbye
Kiss me goodbye
