"Torch" is a song by English synthpop duo Soft Cell. It was released as a single in 1982, and in mid-June peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart, ranking 45 for the year. It also reached number 31 on the Hot Dance Club Play chart, number 12 in the Netherlands and number 6 in the Flemish Ultratop 50Singer Marc Almond duets towards the end of the song with Cindy Ecstasy, a rapper from New York, who sings slightly off-key in an approximation of an Estuary English accent. The single was originally intended to be double A-sided, coupled with the eventual B-side song "Insecure Me"; as such, both songs were included in the band's 2018 singles compilation Keychains & Snowstorms: The Singles. "Torch" ranked 49 in the New Musical Express critics' list of the year's 50 best singles.  more »

I'm lost again and I'm on the run
Looking for love in a sad song
With your avenger eyes in your cat like ways
I can hold you 
You are a fool for me to be cruel
I'm leaning on this bar listening to you
Singing your sad song rings in my ears
And I start to cry

He's searching
She's showing
See him held in a deep deep spell
He knows she's glowing
I can find within my mind
The way to go
I can look deep into your lie
And shout hold me, hold me, hold me

I hear the sights of funk and it tears my soul
And feeling old and feeling so cold
She is the torch and she is the theme
She could be a dream
But, oh boy, is she real!
Try to avoid her, eyes to avoid her
Word they will hit you
With all that you feel.

He's searching
She's showing
See him held in a deep deep spell
He knows she's glowing
I can find within my mind
The way to go
I can look deep into your lie
And shout hold me, hold me, hold me

See her eyes, they are bright tonight
See the stars, they are coming out tonight
See the moon, looking down tonight
See her there, light your way tonight

See my eyes, they are bright tonight
See my hands, reaching out tonight
Hear my words, they are dynamite
See how they light your way tonight

See her eyes, they are bright tonight
See the stars, coming out tonight
See the moon, looking down tonight
See her there, light your way tonight


See her eyes, they are bright tonight
See how the light your way tonight
