Call My Name Lyrics

I've seen a new sensation
I heard you call in pain
But running round in circles

Won't make it right again
The telephone keeps ringing
Your head is in the sand
The future is unfolding
But it's not what you had planned

No matter what you do
There's no escape for you
You say we go too far
You say, I'll take my car
So it always ends the same
There's no one else to blame
But I'd die
If you would call my name

Caught between two evils
You should have stayed at home
To wish upon and walk upon
A planet of your own

No matter what you do
There's no escape for you
You say we go too far
You say, I'll take my car
So it always ends the same
There's no one else to blame
But I'd die
If you would call my name
Oh, yes, I'd die
If you would call my name

It's always the same
So don't play games

No matter what you do
There's no escape for you
You say we go too far
You say, I'll take my car
So it always ends the same
There's no one else to blame
But I'd die
If you would call my name
Oh, yes, I'd die
If you would call my name

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (often abbreviated to OMD) is a synthpop group whose founding members are originally from the Wirral, United Kingdom. OMD record for Virgin Records (originally for Virgin's DinDisc subsidiary).

The group was founded in 1978 by Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys, after they had been involved in several bands, including The Id. Later drummer Malcolm Holmes and saxophonist Martin Cooper joined. McCluskey and Humphreys formed the core of the outfit until 1989, when the group split in two. McCluskey retained the name and continued to record and tour as OMD with a new line-up until 1996, while Humphreys, Holmes, and Cooper formed "The Listening Pool".

According to Songfacts, Enola Gay was the first of 7 Top 10 UK singles for the group; their only US hit was If You Leave, which was written for the 1985 movie Pretty In Pink.

In late December 2005, OMD's official website announced a 2006 reformation, for both live performances and a new album, with rehearsals beginning in summer 2006. The line up features the original 1980's members (Andy McCluskey, Paul Humphreys, Malcolm Holmes and Martin Cooper). The "Architecture & Morality" tour for late 2006 was postponed until the beginning of 2007.

The tour finally took place in the spring of 2007 featuring "Architecture & Morality" played in its entirety plus a 'greatest hits' set, although each concert famously ended with stirring rendition of B side/album track and fan favourite "The Romance of the Telescope".

Plans are now ahead for the release of a documentary DVD (since released and available here), a live DVD of the 2007 tour (release postponed until 2008) and a new studio album released in 2010, entitled "History of Modern".
