"The Blood That Moves The Body" was originally released June 6 1988 as the second single from "Stay On These Roads."

This song was re-released in 1992 with the remix version from Alan Tarney. The video remained unchanged.

The enigmatic lyrics of this song have been attributed to many things, including teen suicides in Japan and literary references to ‘eyes of a blue dog.' World sales: 400.000 copies.
