Biography:
Frankie Goes To Hollywood (FGTH) was one of the most controversial and commercially-successful U.K. pop acts of the mid-80s. The Liverpool-based new wave group was fronted by vocalist Holly Johnson and supported by Paul Rutherford (backing vocals), Peter Gill (drums), Mark O'Toole (bass) and Brian Nash (aka Nasher, guitar).
The group's debut single, titled "Relax", was famously banned by the BBC and subsequently topped the U.K. singles chart for five weeks, enjoying prolonged chart success throughout 1984.

[Verse 1]
D G A
In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway american dream
D G A
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
G D
Sprung from cages out on highway 9,
Em F#m D D7
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected and steppin' out over the line
G F#m
Baby this town rips the bones from your back
Em F#m
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
D Bm
We gotta get out while we're young
G A D
`cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run

D G A
Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend,I want to guard your dreams and visions
D G A
Just wrap your legs round these velvet rims,And strap your hands across my engines
G D
Together we could break this trap
Em F#m D D7
We'll run till we drop, baby we'll never go back
G F#m
Will you walk with me out on the wire
Em F#m
`cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider
D Bm
But I gotta find out how it feels
G A D
I want to know if love is wild, girl I want to know if love is real
