A live version of a great lesser known cut off the band's sophomore effort, the platinum-selling CD "Reach the Beach". These same five guys are still together touring and recording. Never miss them if they are playing near you. They are a great live band. Lyrics: Watching, waiting Playing, who's who Don't play to win To be second to you The door will open When I suffer enough Who'll hold this hand When the going gets rough Such good intentions Always nipped in the bud What do you expect? Well, you never could If I stop laughing Just to be at your door, oh Always opinions Turning you round Always opinions Turning you down I don't play chess But I could play with you Not much impressed Not who do you do I saw it coming You saw it his way Always opinions Turning you round Always opinions Turning you down Never decisions, oh Letting me know Always conditions Turning you round I want you to draw the line Why can't you make up your mind? I know about you But what about me? Yeah Excuses all the time Blew away with high insight No more good advice So what about me? Yeah I'm playing who's who, oh, oh Who would have thought This would turn into fact The door's wide open You've lost your act I saw it coming You saw in his way Always opinions Turning you round Always opinions Turning you down Never decisions, oh, oh Letting me know Always conditions Turning you round So now you've taken over I'm playing who's who I'm playing who's who Copyright: COLGEMS-EMI MUSIC INC.

This song was originally written for the James Bond film "Tomorrow Never Dies". But when it was not selected for the film, the band revised it slightly and retitled it "Fatal Shore". It ended up on their 1998 CD "Elemental" and has become a staple of their live shows and a big fan favorite. Check out TheFixx dot com for tour dates and more info. I found this song/animation combo on a Japanese clip site. If you know of the original animation source let me know so I can credit them.

The song is the longer version of "Deeper and Deeper" by The Fixx. The video is some Aeon Flux anime from the 90's put together by some unknown poster that I found on some other clip site. The song was on the "Streets of Fire" soundtrack from 1984 but they inexplicably denied it a release as a single, despite it hitting #3 on the rock chart and #47 on the dance chart. No video was ever made for it either. This longer version would eventually end up on the B-side of their 1984 "Are We Ourselves?" single. This long version can now also be found on the rerelease of their sophomore album "Reach the Beach". The original lineup of the band are still together and still touring and recording in the US Check out thefixx dot com

Rescued from the garbage! "When The Time Comes, Will You Believe?" is a truly obscure song by The Fixx. It never ended up on any of their CD's, not even as a B-side on a single nor in any of their compilation discs. No studio version was *ever* recorded. It was played at a show during their 1987 tour. This particular live version is not the usual version that was played on that tour and thus is even more obscure. This version rocks a little harder and has a different break which really illustrates the guitarist's signature guitar style. This rare version was played maybe just once at a gig at Chicago Parkwest and captured as a bootleg recording on someone's handheld audiotape recorder. Twenty years later he found the audiotape and converted it to mp3 and posted it online. This bootleg originally had a much quieter ending to the song which ended around 3:30 but it was slightly corrupted and didn't sound right so I fashioned a more energetic extended outro from other parts of the song. I don't know why the band rejected it because it sure sounds like a hit to me! Maybe the band will run across this video and dust off the song and record it for their upcoming 10th studio CD in 2011. What do you think of it? Can you believe the band thought so little of it as to discard it forever? Even their trash is better than most band's best. PS This sounds much better with headphones on. Enjoy!

This is the extended version of the song "Secret Separation" by The Fixx which was the first single off of their fourth CD "Walkabout". The song peaked at #19 on the Billboard Hot 100 on July 26, 1986 and for two weeks at #1 on the Mainstream Rock Chart starting July 5, 1986. It was their second of three #1's on the rock chart. It also peaked at #83 bubbling under the UK Top 75 chart, as well as reaching #39 on the Canadian pop chart. This video includes footage from the trailer for Warner Brothers' "The Fountain". That movie as well as this song are about lovers separated across time (sort of). LYRICS by Jeannette Obstoj We are passengers in time Lost in motion, locked together Day and night, by trick of light But I must take another journey We must meet with other names Ooh we must meet with other names You touched my heart so deeply You rescued me now free me Don`t watch me cry just see me go I`ll take away the strongest feelings You will ever know There will be no more isolation In our secret separation You touched my heart so deeply, you rescued me Now free me We are passengers in time Lost in motion, locked together Day and night, by trick of light But I must take another journey We must meet with other names If you hold me you will hurt me Be brave There will be no more isolation In our secret separation You touched my heart so deeply, you rescued me Now free me We are matching spark and flame Caught in endless repetition Life for life we`ll be the same I must <b>...</b>

"We Once Held Hands" is a song written and performed by The Fixx about how the mining of natural resources such as salt and oil throughout history has resulted in political and cultural conflicts and ultimately divided the world. The video footage is from Werner Herzog's documentary "Lessons of Darkness" and features noted locations from Operation Desert Storm in Kuwait, including the "highway of death", bombed out targets and numerous raging oil well fires. The first version of this song was recorded during the "Happy Landings" sessions in 1996 which ended up on an unreleased 5 song EP. Two years later, a 3:56 length version appears on the band's 7th studio CD "Elemental". An 8:25 length extended version also exists but the version in this video is 7:48 long and appears on the 2001 CD "Happy Landings and Lost Tracks" which includes some alternate takes of songs on "Elemental". The five members of the band from their heyday are still together, touring and recording with a new CD out in 2010. Check out thefixx.com or thefixx.net for more information. Lyrics: Salt, deep in the earth Salt, has it's worth Salt, three kings, a birth Sweet earth! What's it worth? Mine, well it's all for me Mine, I'll dig it for free With slavery, wait and see We once held hands This common land We once held hands We had no plans.

The producers of the James Bond franchise frequently express interest to certain bands when it comes to finding the theme song for the next film in the series. In the early eighties, they asked The Fixx to take a crack at writing a Bond theme song and the result was "Facing The Wind". The producers ended up passing on the song (fools!). It ended up as a track on the band's third studio album "Phantoms" which was released in 1984. This video was filmed at Ovation in Henderson, Nevada in 2007. It was put together by Andrew and is from his myspace page which features other such videos: vids.myspace.com The five member lineup from the band's heyday of 1982-1993 is still together, touring and recording on a regular basis. The band's ninth studio CD will be released sometime in 2009 as will Cy's third solo CD. Never miss them if they are playing live at an event near you! Their live shows are great!!
