Prologue:
In June 1989
we celebrated to have survived high school
I... hardly remember anything from that evening
but there is one memory standing out.
that she - danced - to - Tainted Love.
[1]
I am an analogue kid in a digital world
30 years too late but this had to be done
tracing back through my mind - things can't be undone
some memories hurt and some are NEON
[Refr.:]
It was the end of a journey
but my heart was still burning
recalling her face from the prom night
and she danced to Tainted Love
It was the end of a journey
but my heart was still burning
recalling her face from the prom night
and she danced to Tainted Love
[2]
I praise my bio-databank
some of these entries are burned in
they make smile and smile again
she danced to tainted love back then
[Refr.:]
It was the end of a journey
but my heart was still burning
recalling her face from the prom night
and she danced to Tainted Love
It was the end of a journey
but my heart was still burning
recalling her face from the prom night
and she danced to Tainted Love
[3]
That day I've missed another chance
to start a wonderful romance
these bleeding memories abide
of the greatest love of my life
[Refr.:]
It was the end of a journey
but my heart was still burning
recalling her face from the prom night
and she danced to Tainted Love
It was the end of a journey
but my heart was still burning
recalling her face from the prom night
and she danced to Tainted Love
It was the end of a journey
but my heart was still burning
recalling her face from the prom night
and she danced to Tainted Love
It was the end of a journey
but my heart was still burning
recalling YOUR face from the prom night
and YOU danced to Tainted Love

about
On the 24th of June 1989 we officially left school.
On this evening I saw her dancing to Soft Cell's 'Tainted Love'.
I preserved this memory for a very long time and in 2018
I wrote a song about it. It is heavily inspired by the girl I fell
unlucky in love with over 30 years ago. For many years
I kept this a secret and buried it all.
I still cannot forget her... and she knows it.
This is for her.
