Listen to some marvin gaye all night long

What a beautiful effort. It probably refers literally to ballet, literally in Spandau, no war. This is a contentious point. Thanks, this kinda explains why I like this song so much. Hey, yo, check the verse [Verse 1] Last night I thought to back to when we made good love Listenin' to some Marvin Gaye all night long Now I want that old thing back Make these moments once again.

The "head over heels, toe to toe" could be recalling the act of dancing together or the thrill of the first intimate encounter with someone. Spandau Ballet was the name the guards at Dachau and the other concentration camps gave to the writhing motions the prisoners would do when they were gassed in the gas chambers.

“Funny” ()—Vulnerable (). There's an allusion to Marvin Gaye does anyone else hear strains of "Sexual Healing"? All these elements combine that sexual tension with the enamored satisfaction people feel when they're in love. One of the band members saw the name on a poster in West Berlin and liked how it sounded.

Among other things, Dachau did not use gas chambers. CZMauser's comment is certainly incorrect. I always thought it was a reference to the prison of the same name and that the 'ballet' refered to people being hanged to death. Like Steve, I believe that the biographer interpretation is too staid and doesn't fit with the dreamy quality of the music.

I have to agree with the other two posters that have said the song is about drugs and drug addiction.

Listening to Marvin All

When I hear this song I always think of her. A ticket to the world is the drugs, but now I've come back again is him saying his high has warn off. As another person said this shows that this person has an injured soul. His addiction is hurting his soul.

Some phrases in the lyrics including the much-quoted reference to "seaside arms" were adapted from Vladimir Nabokov's novel Lolita, a copy of which Grogan had given Kemp.

In tribute to Marvin Gaye and his music, here’s a list of songs that continue to reveal newness to me with every listen. Not to mention that the sighing in the chorus sounds semi-orgasmic. As beautiful ones pointed out, the lyric about the pill and the slow rhythm does make it seem as if the singer is on drugs, or at least relaxed from downing half a bottle of wine.

I think this song could be about wanting to discover truth within oneself or with wanting to confess love for another person. I must have known the meaning of thi song without knowing it. Actually, the song seems very sexual. The singer's mind id obviously clouded with passion, for he finds it "hard to write the next line".
