It has long been one of our favourite tracks -- and for us, it has more relevance now than ever. We are lucky in Britain to have laws that mean whether we are gay, straight, bisexual or anything in between, our relationships are recognised and our rights protected by law. But in Russia there is an anti-gay crisis happening right now: their government does not want to afford their people those same rights and are trying to criminalise even the discussion of gay equality. Something similar happened in Britain not long ago: Section 28, brought in by Thatcher's Tory party in the Eighties to stop teachers from talking about same-sex relationships in a positive way, was only repealed in 2003. These laws only serve to protect intolerance, ignorance, homophobia and hate crimes. In our video, two gay Russian soldiers kiss in front of the Kremlin -- yet just last month same a group of same-sex couples in Moscow were violently attacked and then arrested for doing just this. If you didn't know this was happening, go online, and read about it. Show your support and love to the LGBT communities of Russia and their friends, who are faced daily with violence and the criminalisation of love and of freedom of expression, in every possible way that you can and sign this petition Wouldn't it be amazing if one day everyone all consenting adults could be free to love who they want to without fear of persecution? LYRICS I'm standing, observing, cruising, Star-bright crystals are forming We both know what we got to do Head back to where the magic grew Come on, let's go Back to Moscow Irresolution doesn't suit you It's not hard; with you I have an alibi You don't care the reasons why I misapply All I need's a fraction of your happy heart All I need is you Beauty's in the eye of the beholder You have lips that permanently smoulder When in Moscow I just want to fold you up And keep you warm, keep you warm Snowflakes gently falling Each one on a journey We both know what we got to do Head back to where the magic grew Come on, let's go Back to Moscow Irresolution doesn't suit you or me or anybody It's not hard; with you I have an alibi You don't care the reasons why I misapply All I need's a fraction of your happy heart All I need is you Beauty's in the eye of the beholder You have lips that permanently smoulder When in Moscow I just want to fold you up And keep you warm Come here baby, come a little closer You write words and I can be composer Let's get a dog, an Irish red setter It's all we need to get better It feels good to not be with a wannabe I am free whenever you're in front of me All I need's a fraction of your happy heart All I need is you We both know what we got to do Head back to where the magic grew M-O-S-C-O-W I've got your hand; you've got my heart So we are safe and sorted It's not hard; with you I have an alibi You don't care the reasons why I misapply All I need's a fraction of your happy heart. All I need is you. Beauty's in the eye of the beholder You have lips that permanently smoulder When in Moscow I just want to fold you up And keep you warm Come here baby, come a little closer You write words and I can be composer Let's get a dog, an Irish red setter It's all we need to get better It feels good to not be with a wannabe I am free whenever you're in front of me All I need's a fraction of your happy heart All I need is you
