Heaven 17

Heaven 17 are an English New Wave synthpop band originating from Sheffield in the early 1980s. Originally a trio, the band comprised Martyn Ware (keyboards), Ian Craig Marsh (keyboards) (both previously with The Human League) and Glenn Gregory (vocals). Although most of the band's music was recorded in the 1980s, they have occasionally reformed to record and perform since then, playing their first ever live concerts in 1997. Marsh left the band in 2007 and Ware and Gregory continued to perform as Heaven 17 since then. more »

The tenth of may
It seems so far away
When you and I were strangers moving close together

Sometimes it seems
It's almost like a dream
Driving across the country and the road is endless

If I were you
Don't wait until tomorrow
I'd lead and wouldn't follow

Walk away - today
If I were you - please listen
Walk away - I'd say
If I were you 'go away'

The first of June
The summer came too soon
But from the day we met I knew you'd never go away

Sometimes I feel
The passion's not so real

Finding it strange to be together, not alone

If I were you
I'd smile and close the door
I'd never ask for more
Walk away - don't stay
If I were you - believe me
Walk away - I'd say
If I were you 'go away'

Fourth of July
With an independent sigh
I think the time's arrived to take what's going to happen

Wise men may say
It's easier to stay
But if you are there I'm only wasting time

If I were you
I know I'd want to hurt me
It wouldn't disconcert me
Walk away - I'd pray
If I were you - I'd leave me

Walk away - today

If I were you - please listen
Walk away - don't stay
If I were you - believe me
Walk away - I'd pray
If I were you - I'd leave me

Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away

I'd leave if I were you
