Biography:
The Fixx is a British new wave band that formed in 1980. Envisioned by college friends Cy Curnin (vocals) and Adam Woods (drums), the pair soon placed an ad for additional members. Jamie West-Oram (guitar), Rupert Greenall (keyboards) and Charlie Barret (bass) joined the band as a result. Barret left after the first album and was replaced by Dan K. Brown. The Fixx are perhaps best remembered for their song "One Thing Leads To Another", from what has been their most successful album, 1983's 'Reach the Beach'.

Intro: ( Bbm Bm7 ) x2
Bbm Bbm7 Bbm
The deception with tact, just what are you trying to say?
Bbm Bbm7 Bbm
You've got a blank face, which irritates, communicate, pull out your party piece
Bbm Bbm7 Bbm
You see dimensions in two, state your case in black or white
Bbm Bbm7
But when one little cross leads to shots, grit your teeth
Bbm
You run for cover so discreet, why don't they?
Bbm Bbm7 Bbm
Do what you say, say what you mean, oh, Baby, one thing leads to another
Bbm Bbm7
You told me something wrong, I know I listen too long but then
Bbm
One thing leads to another
Bbm Bbm7 Bbm
The impression that you sell, passes in and out like a scent
Bbm Bbm7 Bbm
But the long face that you see, comes from living close to your fears
Bbm Bbm7 Bbm
If this is up, and I'm up, but your running out of sight, you've seen your name on the walls
Bbm Bbm7
And when one little bump leads to shock, miss a beat
Bbm
You run for cover and there's heat, why don't they?
Bbm Bbm7 Bbm
Do what they say, say what they mean, one thing leads to another
Bbm Bbm7
You told me something wrong, I know I listen too long but then
Bbm
One thing leads to another, yeah, yeah, yeah
Bbm
One thing, one one thing leads to another, another
Bbm Bbm7 Bbm
Then it's easy to believe, somebody's been lying to me
Bbm Bbm7 Bbm
But when the wrong word goes in the right ear, I know you've been lying to me
Bbm Bbm7 Bbm
It's getting rough, off the cuff, I've got to say enough's enough, bigger the harder he falls
Bbm Bbm7
But when the wrong antidote is like a bulge on the throat
Bbm
You run for cover in the heat, why don't they?
Bbm Bbm7 Bbm
Do what the say, say what they mean, one thing leads to another
Bbm Bbm7
You tell me something wrong, I know I listen too long but then,
Bbm
One thing leads to another, yeah, yeah
Bbm
One thing, one one thing leads to another (repeat, fade)
