The Cradle : Touch Me (All Night Long)

Touch Me (All Night Long) is another of Cathy's dance songs. This got to Number One in the US and (I believe) Number Two in the UK. It's also the Cathy song that most people remember, even if they don't who who did it.

Lyrics:

We're starting it over we're maing way for destiny
A time to turn over a better life for you and me
A new recreation to channel all this energy
Let's solve the equation I need to keep you close to me
So baby let your conscience go
There's no turning back when love takes hold
Hold me baby, drive me crazy
Touch me all night long
Make me love you, kiss and hug you
Touch me all night long

The more that I see you
The more I know that love belongs
With you in my mind boy
I wouldn't know what's right from wrong

Cos live will take over
And leave you out of sight and mind
You've got to go with the feeling
And trust fate to be kind
And baby let your conscience go
There's no turning back when love takes hold
Hold me baby, drive me crazy
Touch me all night long
Make me love you, kiss and hug you
Touch me all night long

Hold me baby, drive me crazy
Touch me all night long
Make me love you, kiss and hug you
Touch me all night long

And baby let your conscience go
There's no turning back when love takes hold
Hold me baby, drive me crazy
Touch me all night long
Make me love you, kiss and hug you
Touch me all night long

Repeat to fade

Review

Touch Me (All Night Long) is among Cathy's best tracks, totally danceable, good to listen to and fun. This is the one that people remember... And it has videos for the 7 and 12 inch versions, one a longer version of the other! The videos are rather neat too, lots of people in body stockings and Cathy in primary cloured bodysuits and suits, body stockings and a big white dress-thing. And paint all over the place. Very, very, classy looking. For remixes, the Club Mix and 12" have a lot to recommend them, the album mix is also great too however if you can't find the others.
Trivia: The US and UK versions of Move To This have different mixes of the song.
Rating... 5/5

Take me back to the index.
Take me back to the Discography.
Take me back to the listing for Too Many Walls.
Take me on to the listing for Waterloo Sunset.
