The Fixx

A little something about The Fixx
Here's the extent to what I know about the Fixx: they're British, their first album came out during or before 1982, and they had a bunch of big American hits in the early '80s, especially their 1983 single "One Thing Leads to Another". The Fixx is still together and touring, and I can only assume that the line-up resembles that of the '80s. Rumor is Cy Curnin, singer back then (and maybe now) has recently done some solo work. The video for "One Thing Leads to Another" - with the guys walking down some tunnel or something and I think a big dog - really impressed me at the time.

Lyrics featured below : "One thing leads to another", "Red Skies", "Secret Separation"

One thing leads to another

The deception with tact, just what are you trying to say?
You've got a blank face, which irritates
Communicate, pull out your party piece
you see dimensions in two
State your case with black or white
But when one little cross leads to shots, grit your teeth
You run for cover so discreet, why don't they:

Do what they say, say what you mean
One thing leads to another
You told me something wrong, I know I listen too long
But then one thing leads to another

The impression that you sell
Passes in and out like a scent
But the lung face that ynu see comes from living close
to your fears
If this is up then I'm up but you're running out of sight
You've seen your name on the walls
And when one little bump leads to shock miss a beat
You run for cover and there's heat, why don't they:

Do what they say, say what they mean
One thing leads to another
You told me something wrong, I know I listen too long
But then one thing leads to another.
One thing leads to another

Then it's easy to believe
Somebody's been lying to me
But when the wrong word goes in the right ear
I know why you've been lying to me
It's getting rough, off the cuff I've got to say enough's enough

Bigger the harder he falls
But when the wrong antidote is like a bulge on the throat
You run for cover in the heat why don't they

Do what they say, say what they mean
One thing leads to another
You told me something wrong, I know I listen too long
But then one thing leads to another
One thing leads to another 


Red Skies

Red skies at night
Wo oh oh oh oh
Red skies at night
Wo oh oh oh oh

Should have taken warning it's just
People mourning
Running, hiding, lost
You can't find, find a place to go

Red skies at night
Wo oh

Should have taken warning it's just
People mourning
Running, hiding, lost
You can't find, find a place to go

Red skies at night
Wo oh
Red skies at night
Wo oh oh

Someone's taking over
And it look like they're aiming
Right at you
Someone said we'll be dead by morning
Someone cries leaving

Red skies at night
Wo oh oh


Secret Separation

We are passengers in time
Lost in motion, locked together
Day and night, by trick of light
But I must take another journey
We must meet with other names

You touched my heart so deeply
You rescued me now free me
Don't watch me cry just see me go
I'll take away the strongest feelings
You will ever know

There will be no more isolation
In our secret separation
You touched my heart so deeply, you rescued me
Now free me

We are passengers in time
Lost in motion, locked together
Day and night, by trick of light
But I must take another journey
We must meet with other names
If you hold me you will hurt me
Be brave

There will be no more isolation
In our secret separation
You touched my heart so deeply, you rescued me
Now free me

We are matching spark and flame
Caught in endless repetition
Life for life we'll be the same
I must leave before you burn me
I am the stranger who deserts you only to love you
In another life

There will be no more isolation
In our secret separation
You touched my heart so deeply, you rescued me
Now free me
I'll bear one precious scar that only you will know
