Lost at SeaThe Bangles

Can we try to salvage what we can
From the weight of water and sand
And lifts us up again
Well this world is spinning out of control
I'm bracing just to keep hold
As the clouds move in
With a driving wind so strong
Could it be that we're lost at sea
And we're drowning under the stars
Up to me I would ride this wave
Before we drift too far

What a lonely way to be
Lost at sea
Like a star in a night filled with tears
Make the sadness disappear
'Cause you're all that I hold dear
Well you walk

Never ever looking back
One defends and one attacks
There's a thousand reasons to begin again
Could it be that we're lost at sea
And we're drowning under the stars
Up to me I would ride this wave
Before we drift too far
Take my hand, come to me
Save a life, rescue you, rescue me

Could it be that we're lost at sea
And we're drowning under the stars
Up to me I would ride this wave
Before we drift too far
Could it be that we're lost at sea
And we're drowning under the stars
Up to me I would ride this wave
Before we drift too far

The Bangles

The Bangles are an American pop rock band originally part of the Paisley Undergound movement that’s been described as “sunshiney Beatles pop”. They are best known for their internationally successful ‘80s singles “Manic Monday”, “Walk Like An Egyptian”, and “Eternal Flame” and have been called “perhaps the biggest all-female rock group of the 1980s”.

When their friend/bassist quit their band The Colours, sisters Debbi & Vicki Peterson’s newspaper ad was answered by Susanna Hoffs. They renamed themselves The Bangs and released “Getting Out Of Hand” on their own record label in 1981. Airplay on KROQ FM attracted Miles Copeland (IRS Records / Go Go’s) who signed them to his short-lived label Faulty Products and became their manager. When a New Jersey band claimed ownership of the name The Bangs, they changed their named to The Bangles and released their self-titled debut EP. Bassist Annette Zilinskas was added to the group in time to be included on the artwork, but not on the recordings. The Bangles then toured with English Beat.

Zilinskas was replaced by ex-Runaways bassist Micki ‘Michael’ Steele before the group’s 1984 debut album All Over The Place, released on Columbia Records. Despite its two singles “Hero Takes A Fall” and the Kimberly Rew-penned “Going Down To Liverpool” modestly charting only in the UK, the album still reached #80 in the US thanks to college radio airplay, MTV exposure, a tour with Cyndi Lauper and good reviews. Prince took an interest in the band after seeing the music video for “Hero Takes A Fall” and offered them two songs – “Manic Monday” and “Jealous Girl”.
