You And Your Heart So Blue
Bucks Fizz Lyrics
You levelled all your guns against me You shot me down and ran me to the ground An' so I hung around You said that you were just a dreamer But in every dream you had I could be found In love it's hard to believe That roses die and moonlight doesn't last forever God knows I tried... I gave all my love to you
You and your heart so blue I did everything that a man can do I cried when you wanted me to And I lied in the night to see it through For you and your heart so blue
I'm not afraid of dice or danger You learn a lot of lessons on the street I've felt the heat But when without a word of warning The dream came down and it knocked me off my feet And I cried and I cried When roses die and moonlight doesn't last forever God knows I tried... I gave all my love to you
You and your heart so blue I did everything that a man can do I cried when you wanted me to And I lied in the night to see it through For you and your heart so blue
Given all the love you needed Everything you ever wanted Will you ever learn to fly You're the one with all the questions Looking for the easy answers Will you ever get it right... enough for you

On the 4th April 1981, history was to be made as four relatively unknown singers Mike Nolan, Cheryl Baker, Bobby G and Jay Aston, collectively known as Bucks Fizz, represented the UK at that year's Eurovision Song Contest.
Bucks Fizz performed the timeless classic tune Making Your Mind Up, together with the now famous skirt ripping dance routine. This was one of the most up-tempo songs of the evening, and with only two rounds of voting to go, it was a three-way tie between Germany.

Bucks Fizz performed the timeless classic tune Making Your Mind Up, together with the now famous skirt ripping dance routine. This was one of the most up-tempo songs of the evening, and with only two rounds of voting to go, it was a three-way tie between Germany. the UK and Switzerland. Switzerland were yet to vote and gave eight points to the UK, but Nil Points to Germany. Despite the final jury giving Germany maximum points, Bucks Fizz won the contest.
This victory was to set them up for a career that was to be as successful as any British Eurovision winner before, or since. They went on to be one of the most popular bands of the 80s with a string of hit singles and albums.
Making Your Mind Up was a number one for the group in nine different countries and received gold disc status in four countries.. This was promptly followed by a further two top twenty hits - Piece Of The Action and One Of Those Nights - and a self-titled album which went Gold in the UK and Platinum in Australia.
After winning the contest, the group built on their success with other awards and accolades. In November 1981, they won Best Song Award at the Yamaha Song Contest (oriental Eurovision) in Tokyo with the song Another Night.
Their next single, released in November 1981, The Land Of Make Believe went Gold before Christmas of that year and went on to become one of their most popular songs, reaching Number One in three countries and winning the Amplex Golden Reel Award for one million copies sold.
In 1982, the success for Bucks Fizz continued and in April of that year the group's fourth single, My Camera Never Lies, went straight to Number One in the UK. This was followed in May by the group's second studio album, Are You Ready, which went Gold immediately. This also produced another hit, Now Those Days Are Gone, which reached number 8 in the UK charts.
1984 was to be an eventful year. Bucks Fizz toured the UK on a 7 week sell out tour.
1983 saw the release of If You Cant Stand The Heat which reached number 10 in the UK charts. This was followed by Run For Your Life. Both singles were featured on the group's third studio album, Hand Cut, which charted at number 15 in the UK.
Later that year saw the release of When We Were Young, a slightly different sound with Jay on lead vocal. London Town followed and then a Greatest Hits album which finished the year on a high.
Three more singles were released: Talking In Your Sleep, Golden Days and I Hear Talk which was a surprise club hit in America. Fate was to deal the group a devastating blow that year: whilst on tour in December there was a horrific Coach crash which resulted in the serious injury of Mike Nolan.
As Mike was on the road to recovery Bucks Fizz received yet another blow as Jay Aston decided to depart the group after a scandalous affair with the bands Manager which made front page of all the tabloids.
Auditions were held in London for a Jay Aston replacement. About 800 girls turned up to audition and finally Shelley Preston was recruited to replace Jay.
1986 saw Bucks Fizz back on top of the charts with a new look, a new record deal with Polydor and a new single called New Beginning. The single reached number 8 in the UK charts and was a great success.
A further two singles were also released this year: Love The One Your With" and Keep Each Other Warm, together with what would be their 5th studio album, Writing On The Wall.
The single Heart Of Stone was released in 1988. This would later be covered by Cher a couple of years later.
Shelley Preston decided to leave the group in 1990 to pursue solo projects and the group continued as a trio.
The group's albums are currently available on CD, as well as a recently released Best Of CD/DVD which made the top 40 in May 2007.

This is a fabulous song .. Bucks Fizz did some great tunes that weren't big hits … this and I Hear Talk are 2 of my favourites
David Derecq
This takes me back in many ways - people in thre 80s could really sing, and these guys could really sing! I am not ashamed to say that 1) I saw them live in 1990 ans 2) that 4 of their songs are some of my favoutite songs of all time
Nick Esposito
a really well structured song..needed decent airplay as not as instant as their earlier stuff..but after 2-3 listens its got great hooks, poss even their best song.. and Bobby Gee's voice really suits this one too...x

Nick Esposito https://youtu.be/nKALAjqhxmY. The original appeared on their first Lost Masters cd. This is kind of a variation of it with different backing. I like the released single version and this one, though Cheryl’s vocal does sound a bit sugary at times. See what you think.
Nick Esposito
@ZanduckTV2 oh no i havent.. i'll make a point of checking it out.. do u know where i could get to hear it Zanduck?
ZanduckTV2
Nick Esposito Have you heard Cheryl’s slower tempo reggae tinged version too?

So nice melody this song!

This, along with Heart Of Stone, was where we saw the band take a harder, more rock edge, and with Bobby on lead vocals having really matured as a frontman. Jay had left and this was their awkward in between single where people thought they were finished and never really recovered front the bus crash. Mike certainly never recovered, he had short term memory loss which meant he would forget the songs so could only now lip synch the backing parts and he sadly never regained more than 50% vision in either of his eyes. When Shelley was chosen as the replacement, announced on Wogan, this was the song they performed. Though technically the current song it never made the top forty, and was never a hit, despite many fans considering it one of their finest cuts. From an odd three piece vid to Shelly joining them on the live performances, this never had a fighting chance at the end of the Eighties in the Uk, when there was no real cable and no MTV. Magical and Heart Of Stone, with Bobby as lead singer, with his powerful passionate vocals, their great live versions, had the potential to take the band well into the Nineties. As it was, they never got past that first initial stage and never had the chance to make that great album they could have done. Ironic considering the success of the appropriately titled New Beginnings single, Shelley's first actual sing, and their last hit.

+Vin Vass Are You Ready was one hell of an album, it was perfect after an album built around Making Your Mind Up. The vocals and production was by far bigger than their success, to say they are a cult band would be accurate.
