COMMUNICATION by Spandau Ballet

Spandau Ballet is a British band formed in London in the late 1970s. Initially inspired by the New Romantic fashion, their music has featured a mixture of funk, jazz, soul and synthpop. They were one of the most successful bands of the 1980s, achieving ten Top Ten singles and four Top Ten albums in the UK between 1980 and 1990. The band split acrimoniously in 1990 but announced their reunion in March 2009, complete with a tour that began in October 2009.

Spandau Ballet Lyrics: " Communication "

Communication always leaves me incomplete,
The grass is greener, but it's grown beneath my feet...
Love inspiration is a message on a wing,
But I have left it in the words you'll never sing...

Communication let me down,
And I'm left here
Communication let me down,
And I'm left here, I'm left here again!

Telex or tell me, but it's always second-hand,
I'm incognito but no rendezvous's been planned...
Dictate or relay, I could send it to your home,
"Return to Sender" - I could sing it down the phone!

Communication let me down,
But I'm left here
Communication let me down,
But I'm left here, I'm left here, I, I, I...

(Dictate!)
(Relay!)

I'm sitting here, waiting by the telephone,
Waiting for the bell to ring,
Short change, fumble,
Dial-a-heart trouble,
And I ain't got time for searching through the rubble, oh no!
Well, I know-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!

Communication let me down,
And I'm left here
Communication let me down
And I'm left here, I'm left here, I, I, I...

(I'm a-left a-here-oh!)
(I'm a-left a-here-oh!)
(I'm a-left a-here-oh!)
(I'm a-left a-here-oh!)
(I'm a-left a-here-oh!)
(I'm a-left a-here-oh!)
(I'm a-left a-here-oh!)
(I'm a-left a-here-oh!)

THE WORLD'S FIRST FACE TRANSPLANT

Isabelle Dinoire, born 1967, was the first person to undergo a partial face transplant, after her Labrador dog mauled her in May 2005. Prior to the operation, she could barely eat or speak, but after the operation, she can do both. Dinoire's dog "chewed her face after she passed out from an overdose of sleeping pills." Some reports following the initial surgery claim that her daughter said that the black Labrador cross (named Tania) was "frantically" trying to wake Dinoire after she took sleeping pills in a suicide attempt, and Dinoire wrote about her suicidal feelings in her own memoir. Dinoire's injuries affected her nose, lips, chin, and cheeks. She wore a surgical mask to cover the injuries on the lower part of her face, as the upper face was not affected. Doctors and the media debated whether the donor and/or the recipient had attempted suicide, with reports stating that the donor had hanged herself. The Sunday Times, a British newspaper, stated that Di
