Lies (Thompson Twins song)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Lies" is a 1983 song by the British pop / new wave band Thompson Twins. Released as the first single from the album Quick Step and Side Kick (which was renamed Side Kicks in the U.S.), the song peaked at #67 on the UK singles chart. The single fared better in the U.S., where it peaked at #30 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the spring of 1983. Along with the B-side track "Beach Culture", "Lies" also spent two weeks at #1 on the American dance chart in January of 1983, becoming the band's second #1 on this chart ("In The Name Of Love" had spent five weeks atop this chart in 1982). The music video was played on MTV and other video programs and features the band in an oversized bed where their feet are hanging out over the end, bouncing back and forth to the rhythm of the song.
