πŸ“–Lyrics "I'm A Man"  (originally sung by The Spencer Davis Group)

Well my pad is very messy, got whiskers on my chin
Never had no problems 'cause I've always paid the rent
I got no time for lovin'
Cause my time is all used up
I stand outside creatin'
All the groovy kinds of love
I'm a man, yes I am and I can't help but love you so
I'm a man, yes I am and I can't help but love you so
If I had my choice of matter
I'd would rather be with cats
All engrossed in mental chatter
Showing where your mind is at
While relating to each other
How strong the love can be
By resisting all the good times with each groovy chick we see
I'm a man yes I am and I can't help but love you so
I'm a man yes I am and I can't help but love you so
I've got to keep my image
While I'm standing on the floor
If I drop upon my knees
It's just to keep them on…

["I'm A Man" - written by Jimmy Miller & Steve Winwood]


πŸ“–πŸ“–Lyrics "Sounds So Fine"  (originally sung by Damian Davey)

When I feel low and I got not friends at all
I hit the town where I know a place to call
I join the crowd and at last I feel I'm winning...yeah
The sweat the heat and the atmosphere is spinning
And I am winning, and I am spinning, and winning

CHORUS
Sounds So Fine (you at ......)

You got a friend and the music all around
and feel the beat you are swaying with the sound
with no more blues is the perfect place to be...yeah
get on your feet and get down to you and me

and i am winning, and i am spinning....and winning

CHORUS x4
Sounds So Fine (you at ......)

Sounds So Fine...

(BREAK)

The sweat the heat and the atmosphere is spinning
And I am winning, and I am spinning, and winning

CHORUS x6
Sounds So Fine (you at ......)

PEOPLE LIKE US - Fighting For Our Lives (12'' Maxi) 1987 hi-nrg eurobeat italo disco electro passion 80s "Out-Of-Print" WAV HQ Format


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.

πŸ“– "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
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...
