The most creative people I've ever seen in the Music industry. Unique songs, Unique style, Unique Fashion, Unique voice, Unique duo. Way ahead of it's time. Love all of their songs 💖

the people who disliked this really doesn't know what real music is

"And I'm reaching for my vay-lium" Always loved this line and his pronunciation! Best song on the album.

His voice sounds very pure and young here. I’d forgotten how great this song is. Can’t stop listening to it now!

Marc is one of my vocal heroes! Non Stop Erotic Cabaret is easily one of my favorite albums ever

I was at Leeds University in their day. Nothing better ever!!!

"What have i ever done to you but leave you. " Classic line.

Great. Best band ever. I know this.

Marc, a part of my secret life 😍

Finnish everything I got❤️Greetings from Finland 🇫🇮

Was this really 40 years ago? I met Marc a couple of times. A lovely guy.

Who has the courage to make the stories of Soft Cell songs on the Wiki?

Utterly charming, totally original. Marc has such a talent for writing such perfect lyrics to where u can actually feel and visualise the story he’s telling cause he’s written it so to a T and with such soul and raw emotion, and Dave is such a skilled and intuitive musicians he always perfects the tone and vibe to any piece and makes it catchy and different every time!

My fave of theirs, excellent track. One of the best and most underrated groups.

Amen dude! My personal favorite besides Sex Dwarf! Such an underrated group. I admire Marc and Dave quite a bit, and they honestly deserve more praise than just Tainted Love.

I revisit this album more and more , classic , every track ❤

Non Stop Erotic Cabaret is up there as one of my favorite albums of all time next to Purple Rain, not a bad track on this!

I remember Marc Almond being heavily criticised for the way he looked and his mannerisms. Very little was said about his songwriting mega talent. They wouldn't dare doing that today.

I don't remember any of that in the U.S. In middle school Soft Cell was one of the coolest bands. When Tainted Love came on at the skating rink everyone stomped their skate on the hard beat. Boy George was also beloved. Pete Burns as well.

Beautiful voice, clear tones, special. Wonderful rhythms, creative, very underrated.

The BEST Soft Cell song!

Imagine a track/video by Soft Cell and Deee Lite. They would have smashed the scene!!! Marc and Lady Miss K king and queen of style, too much attitude inside!!! And doesn't Towa Tei look like he could have been Almond's best friend? Build a time machine and make a single together!!!

Such a great song

In your little black book You've got the names And the favourite persuasions Of the people in the headlines I'm in there under A And I'm rated under be You've got photographs to prove it And I swear to God it's not me You've got a hard heart Being hard is your art You think love is a dirty dirty word You pick up the phone And you ring me when I'm at home And then you put it down And I'm reaching for my valium My secret life Living life On a knife edge of life Tell my wife And she's just had a breakdown And I I'm not rich But you know I'm top in my pitch And you'll ruin the lot Finish everything I've got My secret life Secret life I'll give you anything Anything to shut you up Why do you hate me so much What have I ever done to you But leave you I don't want to play Cat and Mouse Have the neighbours looking over At my house All the secret smiles When I walk in the room And I think I'm going to Crack up soon I'm going to run away Find a place in the dark Where I don't have to hear The nasty nasty talk Change my sex Change my hair Be hard to find anywhere My secret life Living life On a knife edge of life Tell my wife And she's just had a breakdown And I I'm not rich But you know I'm top in my pitch And you'll ruin the lot Finish everything I've got My secret life Secret life My secret life (x5)

Obsessed with that catchy hook!! I LOVE this.

Almond makes it all so obvious with those gestures. Love it, the synthesiser adds the perfect tone of menace.

So talented what a voice the lyrics wao.
