'When Smokey sings' is my favourite followed by 'King without a crown'.

How To Be A Zillionaire (My favorite line: "I've seen the future, I can't afford it-ta.")

4ever 2gether
Co-written with Martin Fry by Anne Dudley of Art of Noise. Wow! What a great song!
In fact the whole album The Lexicon of Love is one of the BEST pop records of the '80s.
I also liked "How To Be A Millionaire." Am I the only one who detects a Robin Leach imitation on the lyric "how to be"? Thomas Dolby did them one better when he got Robin himself for a voice over on "The Keys to Her Ferrari."

I voted for "Tears Are Not Enough" for the sheer nostalgia value that song has for a certain time in my life.

Extremely fine song that (as was most of their output...)
Other: 'SOS' (from 'Beauty Stab', that difficult 2nd album) - not the Abba song, but superb stuff all the same...(also includes some members of FGTH on backing vocals, would you believe?)

I agree! I miss "the lexicon of love" I had the tape and it unraveled on me one day long ago! Need to be replacing it with a greatest hits cd I think.

I thought for some reason that it was "Millionaire". ???
Anyways, I like "The Look of Love", "Poison Arrow", "When Smokey Sings" and "Be Near Me" the best.

ah yes, that makes sense now. But that wasn't the name of the song too, was it? ???

well, I saw a guest looking at it last night, and I wasn't sure if I'd posted in it yet...so I decided to check it out.
Plus, that'd give some of the newer members a chance to look at it.

In the 5 years since I last posted, my favorite from them for the last 3-4 years has been
Date Stamp
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGIn29S-AjQ
(or Poison Arrow)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X69xQl-xF1k
I'm not sure if Date Stamp was ever made into an MTV video (who could forget Poison Arrow's),
but both are from "Lexicon of Love".
And I stilll have my "Lexicon of Love" cassette from '82 or '83.
I'll have to check the sales receipt for the correct date.

The look of love would have been 2nd choice.

"The Lexicon of Love" is a good addition to any record collection. It's a great record from start to finish. The songwriting and production are still golden, though they sound rather dated in 2009.

Funny thing is, some of the 12" single releases for the song have it labeled "How To Be A Zillionaire!" :D
Edit: "All Of My Heart" is my fave :)

Now that's awesome! I do love it when they change the titles for remixes
