LYRICS
To your soul
To your soul
Cry
Cry
Cry
You leave in the morning with everything you own in a little black case
Alone on a platform, the wind and the rain on a sad and lonely face
Mother will never understand why you had to leave
But the answers you seek will never be found at home
The love that you need will never be found at home
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Pushed around and kicked around, always a lonely boy
You were the one that they'd talk about around town as they put you down
And as hard as they would try they'd hurt to make you cry
But you never cried to them, just to your soul
No, you never cried to them, just to your soul
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away (crying to your soul)
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away (crying to your soul)
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away (crying to your soul)
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Cry, boy, cry
Cry, boy, cry
Cry, boy, cry, boy, cry
Cry, boy, cry, boy, cry
Cry, boy, cry, boy, cry
Cry, boy, cry, boy, cry
Cry, boy, cry, boy, cry
Cry, boy, cry, boy, cry
You leave in the morning with everything you own in a little black case
Alone on a platform, the wind and the rain on a sad and lonely face
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away

Take me back to the 80s. And throw away the keys.

Yes. 55 years old like you. And a 'small town boy '. Left my parents home at 19 after my father told me he 'would kill me seeing me with a man!' Never came back.
❤ I'm 70yr old lady and I have loved this talented young man from the moment I heard this when it was released 😍👍
I came out in 1995 aged 15yrs. I did have the support of my parents but this became an anthem for me and friends because far too many were rejected by their family. I really hope that cruelty is behind us now! Thanks Jimmy. I met you in 1998 in G.A.Y and hope you've still got the same sense of humour!!🏳️🌈
No vibe can be felt the way 80'90s gave.
I love this song... It breaks my heart every time I see the video... I was just a teenager, but I remember thinking to myself that I'd always love and accept my children, as they are, and I'd never let them feel like they needed to be ashamed of who they were or who they loved...

30 years ago this was a scandal and an impulse for many people to reflect their opinions. I loved it then and love it now. Excellent song, touching video.

40 years. I was two when this song was released and heard it a lot as a young guy, full of melancholy and pain but also of resilience and hope
It still brings a tear to my eye watching this as it stirs up so many memories of leaving home after coming out. It is the most meaningful song in my life Thank you. X

I'm from New York and I never heard of Jimmy Sommerville until recently. That is amazing. He is such a beautiful man!
Incredibly powerful song with such depth and meaning.
I can feel all the pain of the characteres even without hearing them, I see all the hate and ignorance agains all this people. Jimmy found all his friends in the train. They were taken out from their houses too. So sad.
One of my favourite songs of all time.

This song has been a part of me since the day I first heard it. My life would be be what it is without it. Many thanks to the artist.
Forever 80's music! Great tune for sure, also reminds me of Echo and the Bunnymen just a bit, Depeche Mode as well.

I loved this song back in the 80’s and still love it now. I never knew what the full meaning of the song was because I just loved the music. I thought it was just about a kid being bullied and left home. Now I know it’s about a gay kid coming out and leaving home as his parents didn’t accept him, makes me sad. Back in the days I didn’t even know what gay was or other sexual preferences were. He must have been so brave to sing about a taboo topic. I’m so happy he did for those that needed it. I love all people, gay or not. I’m so happy it’s more open and we accept it more as being normal. Love is love.
I love this song so much. It's so beautiful and emotional. Jimmys voice is iconic.
Simply magnificent. Jimmy Somerville. RIP steve Bronski and Larry Steinbachek thank you all for this wonderful song. This song is an anthem. The clip shows the sad reality of these brilliant young people. May the light always shine on the journey of you two and those who remain. Thank you again.
Brilliant. They don't make them like this anymore
Im straight im scottish and the 80s was my era the music was the best but the shit gay people took back then was horrendous!! Jimmy has the best musical voice ive ever heard that came out of scotland !! Luv ya man !! ❤❤❤❤
Beautiful melody, great beat, essential message. Thank you Jimmy Sommerville
One of the greatest songs of all time
My favorite song of ALL time, I still play it loud & proud today. I wish Jimmy would do a remake of this video with a new twist. Seeing that video technology has come along way..Love that little man....ummgh!...xoxoxoxo

If it ain't broke don't fix it,, for me anyways, I would rather watch it the way it was presented..the video technology doesn't do anything for me,,but that's just my opinion, if it impresses you ,, cool More Power to You,,,
In my opinion, this is the best music of Jimmy!
Jimmy merci pour tout ta musique un icône une inimitable quelle belle voix je t'adore je ne me lasse pas d'écouter ta musique je l'ai danser dans ma jeunesse et je l'écoute tous les temps 👍👍👍❤
One of the special experiences of my life, being able to reminisce through 80's music

Jimmy's songs help me get through lockdown. I love him doing So Cold the Night..would love to do a karaoke of it.
I saw this video the first time it aired at the beginning of that long hot summer of 1984 on a Friday evening music show. I knew right away that a new talent had arrived on the scene.
