Andrew Ridgley - Black Box Recorder

I never liked George Michael much

Although they say he was the talented one

Andrew Ridgley drew the map

That rescued me, took me to paradise

I was brought up to the sound of the synthesiser

I learned to dance to the beat of electronic drums

I came alive to the smouldering fire in your eyes

I love you now and I will till the day that I die

I had a tooth pulled as a child

I put it underneath my pillow

And when I looked the very next morning

There was a ten pound note

I took it to the nearest record shop

I put it down upon the counter

I gotta tell you what I know to be true

I bought my first record because of you

I was brought up to the sound of the synthesiser

I learned to dance to the beat of electronic drums

I came alive to the smouldering fire in your eyes

I love you now and I will till the day that I die

I love everything

I love to be around money

A daughter of negative equity

A child of Black Wednesday

(Blue Monday, Black Wednesday)

This is Sarah Nixey talking

MIDI’ed and into the groove

I’ve got to tell you

What I know to be true

I didn’t do too well at school

They said I couldn’t concentrate

The day you flew off into the sunset

Was the day my education was saved

Then years later on Kensington High Street

I saw you drive a white convertible Golf GTI

Carefully edging out into the traffic

Just like a real live human being

I was brought up to the sound of the synthesiser

I learned to dance to the beat of electronic drums

I came alive to the smouldering fire in your eyes

I love you now and I will till the day that I die

Daddy lost everything

Our beautiful house, his beautiful sports car

His beautiful wife, I held his hand and told him

Everything would be all right

This is Sarah Nixey talking

MIDI’ed up and into the groove

I’ve got to tell you

What I know to be true

I was brought up to the sound of the synthesiser

I learned to dance to the beat of electronic drums

I came alive to the smouldering fire in your eyes

I love you now and I will till the day that I die

I was brought up to the sound of the synthesiser

I learned to dance to the beat of electronic drums

I came alive to the smouldering fire in your eyes

I love you now and I will till the day that I die
