Tracie Lyrics


steppin' out from underneath my shadow
walking home from fridays nine to five
rememberin' the long way round the meadow
the one we used to take from time to time
I thought about you
how you must have changed now baby
far away from me
how I used to savour all your kisses
where no one else could see
exchanging knowing glances across the schoolroom
dreamin' of a love down by the sea
changing plans to cover up for one another
working on our secret fantasy
but now as I walk down the road to your house baby
there's no one there but me

how I wish that I could steal your kisses
just as they used to be
and I wanna know
Tracie, where are you now girl
I don't know why this feeling's so strong
Tracie, where have you been
you know there's no one now to tell us we're wrong
countin' by the street lights to the phone box
where we used to meet before the dawn
smoking on the top floor of the school bus
promising the moon as we rode along
but now if I saw you across a crowded dance floor
or somewhere in the town
would you show me what I have been missing
and spin me round and round
Tracie, where are you now girl
I don't know why this feeling's so strong
Tracie, where have you been
you know there's no one now to tell us we're wrong
'cause deep inside from some other place
I turn to find we're there face to face
we laugh, we cry, we work and we play
as love filled night gives way to the day
(repeat chorus)

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Internationally popular British funk-rock quartet fronted by Mark King and Mike Lindup, best known for their hits Lessons In Love, Something About You, The Sun Goes Down (Living It Up), Love Games and Hot Water. They were formed on the Isle of Wight.

Though their membership has fluctuated throughout the years, the original and perhaps best-known lineup consisted of Mark King aka "Thunderthumbs" (vocals & bass), Mike Lindup (vocals & keyboards) and brothers Boon Gould (guitar) and Phil Gould (drums). After the success of the Running in the Family album, the Gould brothers left the band, citing musical differences and nervous exhaustion. King and Lindup continued, picking up replacement artists in Gary Husband on drums and former Go West and Kate Bush guitarist Alan Murphy. Murphy sadly passed away after suffering from an AIDS related illness in October 1989. The band released their then swansong album, Forever Now, in 1994.

At the end of the 80s, Mark King was recognized as one of the best bass players in the world having pioneered the 'slap and pull' technique, treating the bass as a percussion instrument. His style and virtuosity still are hugely influential, considering he also sang while he played very difficult basslines.

Following the formal breakup of the band in the mid-90s King later performed with a new lineup under the Level 42 moniker, before he and Lindup reunited to record Retroglide in 2006.

As of 2012, King and Lindup are still touring with personnel of Pete Ray Biggin, Sean Freeman and Nathan King completing the current lineup.
