Tell me a line, make it easy for me
Open your arms
Dance with me until I feel all right
It's good in the dark, good in the dark
But into the lover's light
Here comes another fight
So ring the alarm, ring the alarm
Bore me and hold me and cling to my arm
Here it comes, here it comes
And what you're asking me now, disastrous now
Hoping and hoping and hoping
The feeling goes away (away)
Never change, never change, never change, never change
Never change, never change, never change
This is why I fell in love, oh
Never change, never change, never change, never change
Never change, never change, never change
That's just who I fell in love with (in love)
Oh, this is the time, the very best time
So give me a line and take me home
Take me over
But dashing the hopes, dashing the hopes
And smashing the pride
The morning's got you on the ropes, oh
And love is a murderer, love is a murderer
But if she calls you tonight
Everything is all right, yeah, we know
And love is a curse shoved in a hearse
Love is an open book to a verse of your bad poetry
And this is coming from me
But I can change, I can change, I can change, I can change
I can change, I can change, I can change
If it helps you fall in love (fall in love)
But I can change, I can change, I can change, I can change
I can change, I can change, I can change
If it helps you fall in love (in love)
Turn on the light, make it easy for me
Feel the divide, fumble in the kitchen 'til it's right
What an awful sight
But there's love in your eyes
Love in your eyes, love in your eyes
But maybe that's just your love of fights
All night
And I can change, I can change, I can change, I can change
I can change, I can change, I can change
If it helps you fall in love (in love)
And I can change, I can change, I can change, I can change
I can change, I can change, I can change
If it helps you fall in love (in love)ù
And I can change, I can change, I can change, I can change
I can change, I can change, I can change
If it helps you feel real love (in love)
And I can change, I can change, I can change, I can change
I can change, I can change, I can change
If it helps you fall in love (in love)
Open your arms
Dance with me until I feel all right
It's good in the dark, good in the dark
But into the lover's light

So ring the alarm, ring the alarm
Bore me and hold me and cling to my arm

Yeah as a scholar of 80s music I had totally pegged this as late 1982 or 1983.... but no, 2010! Glad to see bands are still cranking out the old styles.
At first I thought it might be interesting. Then I was sure. Then I thought wow it sounds simple but there sure is a lot going on in this, and it's like late 70s or early 80s weird keyboards, and there are many loops, on many levels, but given time they hypnotize rather than annoy, and that odd, emotional strain he gets into his voice in just the right spots is mind-blowing and endearingly quirky, and I'm liking it more and more, and THANKS, RP!
I started thinking that this was one of those many songs that would be interesting to listen to once only.
Now I look forward to hearing it again. Good music.

Like Brian Eno from the 70s and 80s but this guy can sing...
If you told me this was from a John Hughes movie 🎥 I’d believe you.
What run right now:
AF "We Exist" > Blur "Song 2" > LCD "I Can Change" - perfect flow!

Very grateful we now have some LCD in the RP mix, it took a while - thanks team!
21 years old. Not a care in the world. Riding the city bus of Chicago in a tux on my way to eventually crash some movie premiere with this song cranked to 11... this song fit so well in that moment and I have never forgotten it.
This does a very good job at evoking the 80s, even the album cover looks the part.

Agreed on LCD growing on you! For me, it took a scant 18 years to finally fall in love with the sound after just not getting it and basically hating them for that time. Love that we're getting more of them on RP now, and my personal recommendation for top tracks to fall in love would be "Someone Great" and "Dance Yrself Clean" (no, that's not a typo
)
SWEET - a fine addition to the playlist! Thanks William.
I encourage those with tepid ratings to give LCD some time - it definitely grows on you.

I encourage those with tepid ratings to give LCD some time - it definitely grows on you. I was very skeptical at first myself, and now a huge fan. I would recommend the album "Sound of Silver" as the place to dig in first (their best IMHO).

I LOVE this track so much!
The whole album rocks - big thanks for playing!
I'll admit it... the hook is strong.
Feels 80ish...in the best way possible.
