However, by that time he had already been recording music for more than half a decade. He began as a member of a group called Metro, who recorded its self-titled debut in 1976. Metro briefly changed their name to Public Zone and released a single with the Police's Stewart Copeland on drums. (Copeland was asked to become a permanent member of the band, but he decided to remain with the Police.)
After Metro recorded New Love in 1979 and Future Imperfect a year later, they broke up. Godwin went solo, releasing the LP Images of Heaven in 1982. The synth pop title track became a cult favorite on new wave radio stations, and a provocative version of its video received controversy because it presented naked women in crucifix poses. David Bowie covered Metro's "Criminal World" on his Let's Dance album in 1983, renewing interest in Godwin's old group. But 1983's Correspondence would be the last time fans would hear from Godwin until 1998's Images of Heaven: The Best of Peter Godwin, a retrospective of his career that featured three new songs. During his absence Godwin wrote for other musicians and even acted in films.

Peter Godwin Lyrics
Baby's in the Mountains the streets are dirty - not made of gold city lights…
Correspondence well I woke up in the evening with the sound of…
Over Twenty-One you get my letters but I don't understand your reply but I…
Soul Of Love every time that we meet I find I fall again kissing in…
Soul to Soul I got a sweet child - kind of girlfriend making me…
The Art of Love two people twisted up caught up in a web of intrigue lost…
The Dancer across a darkened room you comfort me there's nothing we…
Window Shopping you say you love me - don't mean that much…
Young Pleasure here in the night I dream of the simple pleasures we…
