PEOPLE LIKE US

"Fighting For Our Lives"

(12'' Maxi) 1987

hi-nrg passion 80s

South African Hi-NRG act around Paul Crossley and Terry Owen that formed out of the ashes of Shiraz. "Fighting For Our Lives" was first recorded in 1984 with male vocalist Marshall Harmse (as Shiraz) who had a heavy non English accent.  Passion records UK wanted a more English sounding vocalist on the tracks Paul & Terry produced.

Female vocalist Cindy Dickinson was recruited and the project became PEOPLE LIKE US.

With the additional vocal talents of Cindy Dickinson and teaming up with top SA producer Hilton Rosenthal, PEOPLE LIKE US, achieved a surprising measure of success around the world in the mid-80's with songs "Deliverance" and "Midnight Lover".

"Fighting For Our Lives" is a song written about having HIV/AIDS during the 80s, with no effective treatments, fighting to survive a new virus, plus widespread fear, heavy stigma, and rejection associated with having AIDS.

The song was written by lead group member and the songs producer, Paul Crossley who was diagnosed with HIV in the early 80s.

The slogan "Fighting For Our Lives" was most often seen on banners at AIDS marches/protests in the mid 80s.

Paul Crossley self produced "Fighting For Our Lives" in 1987, releasing it as People Like Us (feat Cindy Dickinson) on lead vocals.

It was licenced to & released worldwide by Passion Records UK
[note: to the left side on the 12'' cover, in black, is an abstract side image of Paul Crossley, unusual as no pictures of Paul or Terry ever appear on their releases]

After Paul Crossley's death in 1989, Terry Owen briefly teamed up with Robin Hogarth and recruited vocalist Angie Gold but the dance music had evolved into techno/house/rave, and releases failed to repeat the same performance.

📖 "FIGHTING FOR OUR LIVES" (Song Lyrics)

Too frightened to touch

but I want you so much

wanna cry out in anger

live without danger

We have fought for so long

We were getting so strong

Now we're fighting,

We're fighting for our Lives

CHORUS

Fighting For Our Lives

Is the order of the day

Fighting For Our Lives

Every step of the way

Fighting For Our Lives

We've got to be strong

Fighting For Our Lives

We've got to go on

We've been through the gates

of Hell and back

so watch out World

We're on the attack

We've moving on out

We've paid our deposit

No more days

Locked up in this closet

CHORUS

Fighting For Our Lives

Is the order of the day

Fighting For Our Lives

Every step of the way

Fighting For Our Lives

We've got to be strong

Fighting For Our Lives

We've got to go on

CHORUS

Fighting For Our Lives

Is the order of the day

Fighting For Our Lives

Every step of the way

Fighting For Our Lives

We've got to be strong

Fighting For Our Lives

We've got to go on...

Stay with me babe stay

Please don't turn away

We'll go on together

Brave stormy weather

We have fought for so long

We were getting so strong

Now we're fighting,

We're fighting for our Lives

CHORUS

Fighting For Our Lives

Is the order of the day

Fighting For Our Lives

Every step of the way

Fighting For Our Lives

Is the order of the day

Fighting For Our Lives

Every step of the way

Fighting For Our Lives

We've got to be strong

Fighting For Our Lives

We've got to go on...

CHORUS

Fighting For Our Lives

Is the order of the day

Fighting For Our Lives

Every step of the way

Fighting For Our Lives

We've got to be strong

Fighting For Our Lives

We've got to go on...

CHORUS

"An early 1983 HIGH-ENERGY ⚡ Disco Single, produced with 'extra care', with a hope 🙏 of selling 2000 vinyl's (to cover costs, and make a profit) - but went on to sell over 2 Million+ around the world!"  ⚡🏆🌎⚡

Miquel Brown - Born in Montreal, February 8, 1949. Her name is pronounced Michael, fuelling an urban legend about her gender.
Raised in Vancouver, Canada, and later Washington D.C. where she became a teenage mum of twins at the age of just 14, one of the twins Sinitta becoming a future pop star herself in the 80s. Miquel moved to London in 1973, mostly being into theatre. She was brought to prominence in music when she recorded her first album "Symphony Of Love" with producer Alan Hawkshaw in 1978. She resurged in 1983 with "So Many Men, So Little Time" (#1 in France and Mexico), produced by Ian Levine, this was followed by other hits like "He's A Saint, He's A Sinner" and "Close To Perfection" (1985). She was a short-time member of The Three Degrees in 1985, substituting Helen Scott who was pregnant at the time.

Brown continued to release a few singles in the 90s, the last one being a cover of Pet Shop Boys' "It's A Sin", 1997, but has primarily focused on acting.

SONG LYRICS : S0 MANY MEN, SO LITTLE TIME (by MIQUEL BROWN)  🎶

[Men Shouting Out]:  [5; 10; 20; 40; 50; 60; 70; 80; 85; 90; 95; BOOM!]

It's morning, I open my eyes

And everything's still the same

I turn to the guy who stayed last night

And ask him, "What's your name?"

This seems to happen more and more

I love those men one and all

Each new one I meet makes my heart beat fast

When I see them so strong and tall

[CHORUS]

So many men, so little time

How can I lose?

So many men, so little time

How can I choose?

They tell me I'm up to no good

I should just settle down

But I don't wanna stay with just one man

I wanna sample what's around

Feels like Heaven every night

Being here with someone new

A physical thrill, a beautiful smile

And wonderful muscles too

[CHORUS]

So many men, so little time

How can I lose?

So many men, so little time

How can I choose?

[INSTRUMENTAL MID SECTION DRAMATIC BREAKDOWN]

[Men Shouting Out]:  [5; 10; 15; 20; 25; 30; 35; 40; 45; 50; 55; 60; 65; 70; 75; 80; 85; 90; 95; BOOM!]

So really, who cares about love?

Who wants their freedom taken away?

For fifty-two weeks of every year

There's a new man every day

It's too hard a choice to make up my mind

So many men can turn on my light

Don't want true love, don't want friends

Just give me the bodies tonight

[CHORUS]

So many men, so little time

How can I lose?

So many men, so little time

How can I choose?

[Nursery Rhyme verse]

"eenie meenie miney mo

catch the right one, by the toe

No I don't just want just one!

the more i have the more the fun!"

So really, who cares about love?

Who wants their freedom taken away?

For fifty-two weeks of every year

There's a new man every day

It's too wide a choice to make up my mind

So many men turn on my light

Don't want true love sir, don't want brains

Just give me their bodies tonight

So many men, so little time

How can I lose?

So many men, so little time

How can I choose?

[SCREAM]
