The Thompson Twins - Lies

British synthpop act The Thompson Twins broke through in the US with their 1982 single "Lies", the first single from their album Quick Step And Side Kick. It fared much better there than in their native UK, where they finally gained success with the follow-up single "Love On Your Side" a few months later, in 1983. That's not a bad song either, but I think "Lies" remains the stronger of the two.
