Number 71: Thompson Twins - Lies

The third of four Thompson Twins songs on this Top 200, "Lies" was the first single off the band's 1982 album Quick Step And Side Kick. Reaching a disappointing #67 on the UK charts (American audiences had more sense and got the track to #45), "Lies" was quickly forgotten in favor of other Thompson Twins tunes, including the mediocre "Love On Your Side" (UK #9 somehow). "Lies" is my second favorite '80s era Twins song and I have it at #71 here.

    Those cheesy dancers who sexually assaulted Naked Eyes are back! But at least they kept their distance this time

      I only included that performance because the official video is awful.
