I realise now nothing is new

Another timeslip moment...

Is it really thirty years since the little band of "sisters" known as The Belle Stars brightened up the chart with their breezy brand of pop? Theirs was not the longest-lasting of pop careers, admittedly, but it is good to hear them again.

Here's Jennie, Sarah-Jane, Stella, Lesley, Judy, Miranda and Clare with the rather fab Sign of the Times:

Belle Stars - Sign of the Times

As I lie here thinking of you
I realize that nothing is new
Lying in my bed thinking of you
I realize nothing is new
You say you love me but want success
I say you're lying, nothing has changed

This is the sign of the times
Piece of more to come
This is the sign of the times
Time to be alone
This is the sign of the times
Piece of more to come
This is the sign of the times
Time to be alone

We're strong in bed
You're weak in love
You give me nothing
More than a shove
I walk alone now thinking of you
I realise now nothing is new

This is the sign of the times
Piece of more to come
This is the sign of the times
Time to be alone
This is the sign of the times (The sign of the times)
Piece of more to come
This is the sign of the times
Time to be alone

Why do we go on with this useless love-affair?
When it seems to me that you don't really care
I realize now nothing is new
Time to live my life without you, without you, without you
I sit alone now wondering about you
I'm living my life, what do you do?
You say you want me but need success
I want your love boy, want nothing less

This is the sign of the times (The sign of the times)
Piece of more to come
This is the sign of the times
Time to be alone
This is the sign of the times (The sign of the times)
Piece of more to come
This is the sign of the times
Time to be alone
