Following the abrupt creative and popular burnout of Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Holly Johnson chased a solo career, playing up his old band's floodlight camp for a more direct, commercial sound. Well received for an offshoot, Blast had all the trappings of a self-possessed number one, and for good reason -- there were few crass ballads to speak of other than the sullen glam of "Feel Good," while Johnson continued to have a field day with disco, synth rock, bubblegum, new wave, and carnival pop. Like it or not, if longtime fans felt that Johnson's personality lost a bit of its color, especially its rudeness, Blast demonstrated his skills for larger-than-life hooks and insatiable brass-buffered electro cabaret had hardly diminished.

Love Train

You're a work of art
You're a trevi fountain
You're a golden heart
You're the highest mountain
You bring me flowers every day of my life
You save me from the worry and the strive
Take me in your arms

Baby Baby I'm on a winning streak
When I met you I reached my peak
You're a perfect view
You make me feel brandnew
Well you're just right to keep me up all night
Up all night

Chorus:
Working all the time to make you mine all mine yeah
Riding the love train oo hoo
(Stoke it up)
Riding the love train oo hoo
Loving all the time to keep you feeling fine yeah
(Stoke it up)
Riding the love train

You make time stand still
Your children's laughter
Love's overspill
I'll come running after
You bring the spring right through my door
You're everything that's worth living for
Thrill me with your charms
Baby Baby my knees are weak
I need you now don't play hide and seek
No time is long enough
Leaving you is tough
You're just right to keep me up all night
Up all night

Chorus

Keep the flames burning
Let your spirit fly
Stay on the right track baby
Till the day I die
Keep the coal coming
Baby baby I'm on a winning streak
