| CHEERS THEN |
 |
| Despite the 'Nanas disappointment with it's low charting position, I must admit that this is one of my favourite Bananarama songs. The song itself is wonderful, and the title has caught on with a lot of the fans - it seems these days we can't help but using the phrase sometimes! I'm sure that with a little more promotion the single could have done a lot better, because there was nothing wrong with the song at all! |

| LYRICS Cheers then, here's two old friends We thought we'd never say goodbye But those good times came to an end And its not worth another try Familiar place, familiar face The feeling's not the same Try to relive what we once did Its just a silly game Cheers then, here's two old friends We thought we'd never say goodbye But those good times came to an end And it�s not worth another try Part of the crowd, it felt so safe I never felt alone Together everyday and night When you and me were young Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Cheers then, here's two old friends We thought we'd never say goodbye But those good times came to an end And it�s not worth another try Time that lapsed, a bond collapsed We never planned for that You felt betrayed I let you down You're better on your own Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) Cheers then, it had to end, cheers then (Another way) (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) Cheers then, here's two old friends, cheers then (We're saying goodbye) (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) Cheers then, we're saying goodbye, cheers then (And I don�t know why) (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) Cheers then, it had to end, cheers then (Another way) (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) Cheers then, here's two old friends, cheers then (We're saying goodbye) (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) Cheers then, we're saying goodbye, cheers then (And I don�t know why) |
| THE VIDEO The 'Nanas payed homage to the musical and film 'The Sound of Music' in this video, going all the way to Austria for the shoot. The girls recreated many of the films famous scenes such as running through the hills (which, incidently, were alive with the sound of music). They also played around with some puppets and jumped around a lot on some stairs. It might sound ridiculous, but it's one of my favourites, and you can tell how much fun they had! WATCH OUT! For Siobhan motioning to Keren and Sara to move over to get in shot near the start of the first verse. |
