Subject: Need Song Identified, Please.

Written By: Hairspray on 05/19/02 at 08:47 p.m.

The video in the 80's was unique. It featured no one singing, but faces being shown one a a time against a dark backround. One was made up as a clown. The song is pop-rock oriented, but slowish - kinda like some of Phil Collins' 80's stuff ("In The Air Tonight").

Here are some of the lyrics:

You don't know how to ease my pain, you don't know.
You don't know how to play the game and you cheat and you lie -
You make me wanna cry.
You make me wanna cry.

Need name of song, though I have a strong suspicion it's "Cry". Need name of artist too. Thanks In Advance.  :)

I think, but I could be wrong, that the video and song you are talking about is "Cry" by Godley and Creme.  

Godley and Creme  of course are best known for directing the videos for "Every breath you take", and "Rock it"

Hey, thanks! That's it.  :)

That video was pretty weird and the faces, IMO, the scariest seen to date.  :P  ;D The song's not that great (not many lyrics, just repetition), but it's memorable. Ugh, so is that video.  ::)

Hi there, Hairspray -
The artist in question is Godley & Creme (Kevin Godley and Lol Creme), half of the UK 70's-80's pop group 10CC.
You're right, it was called "Cry" and is on the album "History Mix vol 1". Here is a URL for you:

I need a list of punk bands that cover The Clash's song, Career Opportunities as soon as possible.
