New wave (nueva ola) es un término global para varios estilos pop/rock de fines de la década de 1970 y mediados de la década de 1980, con vínculos con el punk y ciertos géneros del rock de los años 1970. Inicialmente, al igual que con el posterior rock gótico, la new wave se mantuvo prácticamente análogo al post-punk antes de ramificarse como un género distintamente identificado (aunque la new wave apareció primero que el post-punk), incorporando música electrónica, experimental, mod, disco y pop. Posteriormente engendró subgéneros y fusiones, incluyendo new romantic y rock gótico.
Spandau Ballet fue una banda popular inglesa de los años 80. Inicialmente inspirada por una mezcla de funk y synthpop, el grupo eventualmente cambiara su estilo al pop. Asimismo como sus rivales de Duran Duran, ellos conseguirán "estallar" en América, aunque brevemente.
El guitarrista y compositor Gary Kemp, y su hermano, el bajista Martin Kemp formarán la banda en 1979,junto con el baterista John Keeble, el vocalista Tony Hadley y Steve Norman, que al principio tocaba la guitarra, que èste posteriormente pasó a tocar el saxo, cuando la banda cambia su estilo musical.
Thank you for coming home
I'm sorry that the chairs are all worn
I left them here I could have sworn
These are my salad days
Slowly being eaten away
Just another play for today
Oh but I'm proud of you,but I'm proud of you
Nothing left to make me feel small
Luck has left me standing so tall

Always believe in your soul
You've got the power to know
You're indestructable
Always believe in,because you are

Glad that you're bound to return
There's something I could have learned
You're indestructable,always believe in
After the rush has gone
I hope you find a little more time
Remember we were partners in crime
It's only two years ago
The man with the suit and the pace
You knew that he was there on the case
Now he's in love with you,he's in love with you
My love is like a hard prison wall
But you could leave me standing so tall
