Dead Or Alive - Lover Come Back To Me

Artiestinformatie

Land	Verenigd Koninkrijk

Deze uit het Verenig Koninkrijk afkomstige new wave-band werd opgericht in 1980. Hun eerste succes kwam in 1982 met de single The Stranger. Dit leverde de band een contract op bij Epic Records.

Door het excentrieke en androgene uiterlijk van de zanger Peter Burns begon de band ook meer aandacht te krijgen.

Het debuutalbum Sophisticated Boom Boom kwam uit in 1984. De cover That’s The Way (I Like It) afkomstig van dat album werd hun eerste Top 40 hit in het Verenigd Koninkrijk.

De grootste doorbraak kwam van hun tweede album Youthquake, You Spin Me Round (Like A Record) werd een hit in Europa, Azië en de Verenigde Staten. In Japan was de band het meest succesvol waar zij 17 nummer 1-hits hadden. In 1987 gingen ze met Rip It Up! op wereldtournee.

Er zijn vele wisselingen geweest in de band. In hun succesjaren bestond de band uit Peter Burns (zang), Mike Percy (basgitaar), Tim Lever (keyboards) en Steve Coy (drums).

In 1990 besluiten Tim Lever en Mike Percy de band te verlaten. De overige leden gaan door.

In 2003 verschijnt een verzamelalbum Evolution: The Hits.

Op 23 oktober 2016 overleed Peter Burns.

Songtekst

Hoo aaa
Hoo aaa

I've been lyin' here so lonely
I've been wishin' you would telephone me
Oh, I just can't lose this desperation
Won't you bring around a new sensation?
Baby, you got lots of energy, yeah
Gonna give that energy to me, yeah
Tell you, "We could have a real good time, yeah"
Baby, I can make you mine, oh mine, yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah

You don't have to knock on my door
