Lyrics:
Crying parents tell their children
If you survive, don't do as we did
A son exclaims there'll be nothing to do to
Her daughter says she'll be dead with you
While foreign affairs are screwing us rotten
Line morale has hit rock bottom
Dying embers stand forgotten
Talks of peace were being trodden
Stand or fall
State your peace tonight
Stand or fall
State your peace tonight
Is this the value of our existence
Should we proclaim with such persistence
Our destiny relies on conscience
Red or blue, what's the difference
Stand or fall
State your peace tonight
Stand or fall
State your peace tonight
It's the euro theatre
It's the euro theatre
It's the euro theatre
An empty face reflects extinction
Ugly scars divide the nation
Desecrate the population
There will be no exaltation
Stand or fall
State your peace tonight
Stand or fall
State your peace tonight
It's the euro theatre
It's the euro theatre
It's the euro theatre
Stand or fall
Stand or fall
Stand or fall
Stand or fall
Stand or fall
Stand or fall

I was 21 when i bought "reach the beach" and from the they gave me a soundtrack for the eighties.. they were underrated. Jamie West Oram suddenly apears with Tina Turner in her Comback 1985. That made me smile, because i allways knew He is a brillant guitar player

The old expression is so true, they just don’t write them like that anymore! This was a sound that revolutionized the 80’s. We got our fix from the Fixx. It was cool cruising around the city at night back then listening to this song. No cell phones, no internet, just the airwaves bristling with life. Twas a great time to grow up. Enjoy! Thanks for sharing.
I personally think that the fixx was one of the better bands that came out of England in the eighties Totally underrated.
Agreed
There's always some asshole on CZcams making the "underrated" comment. Are you completely unaware of their fame and hits??
So underrated. They were one of those bands who put M.TV on the map deffinatley.im 50 and still listening to the fixx. They are a part of my childhood which in these days nostalgia is all we have with the drama around the world. Listen to a fixx track and remember when music life and times were good.
@@blahhh0902 *definitely
In germany it was nearly impossible to see them live in the eighties and ninethies,
I was a Fan since 1983 and saw them first in a little Club 2012!
Saw them open up for the Police and a Flock of Seagulls. All great but this stayed with me more.
I wish he still sang like that
Love this! Brings me back to a much happier time in life
me too
I know what you mean, me too!
Best Decade ever.
Ironic, given that it's about nuclear war. But we were young
Laura Rhein YOU 🎸 ROCK . . . . we woulda been "Besties" in school . . . You have EXCELLENT taste in New Wave music you rock. ! . ! . !
Thank God for The Fixx. They were a great alternative before “alt rock” was even a term. I saw them several times back in the day and I was always thoroughly entertained. Not hair metal, not AOR, not Arena Rock but just high quality great music that anyone could enjoy.
I think they could be classified as 'new wave', which was a term invented before this band was on the scene.
The #1 band to see after the pandemic....they are the shit!
The Best.. Classic Gold 📀✨🙏
Puts me right back in college.
Seeing them in October! If you ever have a chance to see them....go! They are incredible!
Bass Player is AWESOME 👌
I was fortunate to see this band open for flock of seagulls. The venue was Irvine meadows, now called Verizon amphitheater I think. Anyways they blew Flock of Seagulls out of the water. Great concert!
Me too! In Saratoga, NY back in the early 80's.
Great song for these times.... now is the time we must STAND...OR FALL.
Well, the nuclear weapons they are signing about are still out there and and still on high alert.
@@Tracymmo there's many more now to.
@@Tracymmothey don't need nulcear weapons anymore.They just need dumb idiots who take the jab.
This could not be more relevant today. The Bill of Rights is not the us constitution, it is the agreement by which the us constitution was agreed to.
Huh? Amendments are simply changes/additions to the Constitution, therefore, they are part of the Constitution. What does your statement have to do with the song any way??
HumGuitar The Bill of Rights are a collection of amendments protecting the rights of the people and states by delineating boundaries the federal gov’t can’t cross. A majority of the states said there’d be no ratification of the Constitution without these protections and limits.
This is a British band, so they weren't singing about the US Constitution. You can certainly interpret the song as you like, but it's about nuclear war. The opening verse is a family talking about surviving or dying in a nuclear attack that's starting. "It's the Euro theater" -- Europe was seen as the possible theater of war for "limited" nuclear attacks between the Soviets and US. The USSR and the US and NATO had short range nuclear missiles in Europe for that very purpose.
Great live version. I thought these guys were on par with U2 at the time. Brings back memories of MTV.
Love both bands
"Desicrate the population".......whoa.....what a lyric!
“Red or Blue what’s the difference?”
It's the year of Theatre!
It's the year of Theodore! (AIvin)
I saw The Fixx at a festival called Mex Fest in Tijuana BCN Mexico, back around 1987. The concert was sponsored by 91X. They played with BIONGO, the Bangles, Chris Isaak, the Hoodoo Gurus & Squeeze and some Modelo cans. This song brings those great moments back.
Psycodelic furs the fixx and Simon le bon with Duran Duran to a lot of style from the legendary David bowie.
Very great live performance!
Talented young men
Exelente banda the fixx temaso
K grandes son the fixxx!!!
Espectacular banda
El intro con la guitarra el teclado y el bajo geniales
STAND OR FALL ✊🏻
The best!
Crying parents tell their children
If you survive, don't do as we did
A son exclaims there'll be nothing to do to
Her daughter says she'll be dead with you
While foreign affairs are screwing us rotten
Line morale has hit rock bottom
Dying embers stand forgotten
Talks of peace were being trodden
Stand or fall ............
Playing Denvers' Ogden Theater March 31st 2023. Should I go or not??
Yo los conocí recientemente son muy buenos. Tienen algo de Roxy músic a mi parecer. Son muy buenos
My first impression is the song is a little more peppy with so much more intensity
Fo' Show✨🌃🎶😉
💪💪💪
These musicians make the Gen Z and millennials music pedestrian.
Yep. You've got two generations who couldn't write a meaningful lyric if their lives depended on it.
@@LanceJordan Good one. Most of them are copycats and simpletons.
david bowie all over...
Is that Bono’s brother on keyboards? LOL
toyt yes toyt like a tiger
Brings back memories of MTV when it was an actual music channel. Now it's nothing but reality garbage...
VH1 is the 'true music' network, that MTV actually established in recent years. One is an offshoot of the other.
