Dead Or Alive - Misty Circles Lyrics






An aggressive nature does not make the weaker man a gladiator
Inside this misty circle

Well, here's looking at you
And all your schemes are undone
And you just can't pull my ideas down
Well take a good look within
And this is no place for me,
Oh, I just can't pull my ideas down!

They won't come down...

Look at this mess we're in
Oh Lord, I do declare
I've got rusted guitar strings, man
They're wound around my hair
And lately these days
I'm in so many empty spaces
I'm transfixed I see these ugly faces
That pull me down...

Look at me, I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree
My heads in the clouds, yeah I get misty
Just holding your hand

What can you do when you don't seem to fit
You fall to bits inside all because of it
Blame it on some massive lack of confidence.

3 years from now, where will I be?
Who will behind me pulling me down?

Well I'm curious about how I got to be wrapped around
The lines on someone's hand.
Won't you tell me realistically
How long can I expect to be inside this misty circle?

    And you just cna't pul my ideas down
    Well take a good look within
    And this is no place for me,

  25. v.... c....

    Boy George copied this look??????

  26. m.... ....

    Love ya Pete.
    Rest In Peace honey.
    💔😫

  27. M.... S....

    The B-side from the single You Spin Me Around (Like A Record)

  28. S.... M....

    That fucking BASS !!!

  29. A.... D....

    Voz deliciosa!!!😍

  30. S.... C....

    The dude speaking at the beginning has a very annoying voice.
    Pete's adorable in this though

  31. U.... M....

    Pete being miffed about Boy George imitating & stealing his style now I understand why he was miffed!

    U.... M....

    @khr rss this song was released in 1983, boy George was released in 82, I say boy George wore it first

    U.... M....

    @itchydiscoman And Pete in 1979!

    U.... M....

    rss  iunless you can show me a video of pete wearing this in 79, I'll continue to believe boy wore it first

    U.... M....

    @itchydiscomani It was boy georges who told on TV that pete had come to meet him and told him: you stole everything from me, man..

    U.... M....

    @khr rss no one "owns" a particular look, a "look" isnt copyrighted, like a song.. Apparently lots of early 80s club performers had this look or a variation of it. Boy George took it to another level that Pete burns didn't. That's why boy George gets the credit in my book. If pete burns really believed that was his look, he would have continued to use it

  32. K.... M....

    Wayne Hussey - if he'd stayed what would DoA have been?

  33. m.... l....

    KLASA KLASA KLASA TEN SPIEW I MVZA KLASA

  34. U.... S....

    Fiercer than ANYONE!!!!!!

  35. J.... G....

    masterpiece

  36. g.... W....

    Stephen Clarke and garry whiting we are now ever true gay partners forever together and we both like dead or alive music only and we both like proper stuff

  37. �.... ....

    ボーイジョージのコスプレみたいだぞ。

  38. K.... W....

    Please may you send us some up to date details of what he died of. I agree that he was absolutely gorgeous and the pop stars these days are rubbish he was a fantastic singer. Rip xx

  39. m.... ....

    A.... ....

    Asis Ary ya somos 3

  41. A.... S....

    Boy George cover ?????

    A.... S....

    No. Actually Boy George copied Pete's style.

  42. A.... V....

    Wayne hussey from The Mission UK on guitar

  43. A.... N....

    Copie cat boy George were that you discrass me that was boy Georges culture not yours

  44. T.... k....

    Fantastic voice... Beautiful man❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Rip Pete

  45. G.... ....

    It’s at this point that I think he should’ve stopped with the facial plastic surgery cuz it only goes downhill from here.

  46. g.... W....

    Stephen Clarke and garry whiting who are now ever so real proper gay  partners together and we both like dead or alive music and same music together and we like proper stuff together

  47. S.... C....

    The look, the voice, god damn he is hot

  48. A.... H....

    I don't like when people say that Pete was like Boy Gorge just judging on their appearance. Pete had much more powerful voice and as for me, this and other songs from mid 80s by Dead or Alive can't be compared with music by Culture Club.

  49. R.... A....

    Boy George!

  50. R.... A....

    Boy George

    R.... A....

    Rafael Ayuque Cuando Pete Burns era gótico

  56. m.... t....

    Mozart must be spinning right round in his grave

  57. D.... B....

    Much superior to the You Spin Me Round stuff

  58. A.... M....

    He kept changing with plastic surgery. Didn't even look like original Pete burns anymore.

  59. b.... ....

    An aggressive nature
    Does not make
    The weaker man a gladiator
    Inside this misty circle
    Well, just looking at you
    And all your schemes are undone
    And you just can't pull my ideas down
    Well, take a good look within
    And this is no place for me
    Oh, I just can't get my ideas down
    They won't come down, down, down, down
    Look at this mess we're in
    To You, Lord, I do declare
    I've got rusted guitar strings, man
    Wound around my head
    And lately these days
    I'm in so many empty spaces
    I'm transfixed, I see these ugly faces
    That pull me down, down, down, down

  60. C.... M....

    wow PETE LOOKS LIKE Boy George in this video wiyh the dresses and hat!! Just heard Boy Copied Petes this style! anyway R.I.P.

  61. S.... A....

    Una naturaleza agresiva No hace El hombre más débil, un gladiador Dentro de este círculo brumoso Bueno, solo mirándote Y todos tus esquemas están deshechos Y no puedes tirar mis ideas Bueno, mira bien dentro de Y este no es lugar para mí Oh, no puedo dejar mis ideas abajo No bajarán, bajarán, bajarán, bajarán Mira este desastre en el que estamos Para ti, Señor, declaro Tengo cuerdas de guitarra oxidadas, hombre Herida alrededor de mi cabeza Y últimamente estos días Estoy en tantos espacios vacíos Estoy paralizado, veo estas caras feas Que me tire hacia abajo, hacia abajo, hacia abajo, hacia abajo Mírame Estoy tan indefenso como un gatito en un árbol Mis cabezas en las nubes, sí, me pongo brumoso Solo con tu mano ¿Qué puedes hacer cuando parece que no encajas? Caes en pedazos dentro de todo por eso La culpa es de una gran falta de confianza Dentro de tres años, ¿dónde estaré? Quién estará detrás de mí Tirando de mí hacia abajo, hacia abajo, abajo Bueno, tengo curiosidad sobre Cómo debo ser envuelto Las líneas en la mano de alguien ¿No me dirás de forma realista ¿Cuánto tiempo puedo esperar ser ¿Dentro de este círculo brumoso? Bueno, ¿qué puedes hacer? No parece encajar ¿Donde puedes ir? Todo porque solo esto puede curarme Este círculo brumoso Mírame Estoy tan indefenso como un gatito en un árbol Mis cabezas en las nubes, sí Me pongo brumoso

    S.... A....

    Época en que las canciones tenían letras profundas..contaban algo

  62. G.... A....

  76. j.... g....

    Wayne Hussey de syster of mercy y the mission en guitarra...

    j.... g....

    I don't understand. what do you mean with that?

    j.... g....

    @Isabel Johnsyn rosario I don't get the comment too, but I believe it's about the guitarist in black glasses, who became a member of the band Sisters of Mercy soon.

    j.... g....

    Sisters of Mercy & Mission UK

  77. W.... ....

    I remember 30+ years ago I bought my first DOA album and a door poster at 2nd Ave Records in (of all places) Portland, Ore.. In spite of not being widely promoted, Pete's influence spread around the world. Even to some of the smallest corners. I've watched so many interviews with Pete over the years and he always seemed surprised when someone said they bought a DOA tape in some obscure place.I don't think he ever really understood his reach. Even though I never met Pete I can't imagine my life without him.or his music My heart just breaks for Michael. Pete obviously loved him so much...

  78. K.... ?....

    Why is the audience a bunch of kids?

  79. �.... I....

    Man I absolutely LOVE his voice in this song in particular

    �.... I....

    Totally agree, I was riveted by this song when I heard it 35 years ago as a teen and it still has the same effect on me. the Raw Power of Thunder in his voice, and the intensity of this song, perfection

    �.... I....

    ​@maha77 The extended version of this was the B-Side of the 12" You Spin Me Round. The first time I heard it, it literally stopped me in my tracks - it was SO different to the A-side. To this day, that extended mix of 'Misty Circles' remains my favorite Dead or Alive song.

  80. j.... m....

    And also I just realised there is lots of little kids in the front of the concert.

  81. j.... m....

    This is the only song Pete looks like a dude

  82. h.... ....

    This voice 0_0

  83. G.... W....

    rubbish person

  84. P.... S....

    Best song!!!

  85. B.... G....

    dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwn

  86. v.... w....

    This is Amy's favorite. Especially after Dead or Alive ended up on the Wanted List for Quite some Time

  87. S.... R....

    Raw talent. So early Pete..

  88. S.... R....

    Love the shit out of this song. Totally underrated song! Pete is a rock star!

  89. G.... W....

    me and my gay partner Stephen Clarke loves dead or alive and pete burns too

  90. A.... w....

    The stupid announcer called it Mystic circles Nope it`s MISTY CIRCLES. Great Song x

    A.... w....

    Yes, it's very different significate

  91. A.... D....

    An aggressive nature
    Does not make
    The weaker man a gladiator
    Inside this misty circle

  92. G.... W....

    me and my gay partner like pete burns as as well with garry whiting and Stephen Clarke now

  93. W.... ....

    Don't ever let the internet get hold of these songs.
    I mean the INTERNET internet

  94. I.... �....

    he looks like boy george here
    ah i miss him so much, he was such an unique and beautiful person

    I.... �....

    @Inna Bee how can you prove he copied it? If you look at culture clubs first record, it was released in 1982, dead or alives first record was released in 1983, which is the song on this video. that can be proven. If burns was the original, why didn't he continue to use it?

    I.... �....

    @Inna Bee unless you can show me video of pete burns wearing this in a pre 1982 video, I'll continue to believe boy did it first

    I.... �....

    @itchydiscoman He dressed different tho

    I.... �....

    @itchydiscoman no dead or alive 1979

    I.... �....

    @itchydiscoman pete continued changing and experimenting with his style

  95. A.... A....

    Awesome...
    Man...he's so young here

  96. J.... Z....

    Mesmerizing!

  97. B.... ....

    thanks for share it! Pete

  98. �.... ....

    I like his the look makeup and fashion in this MV. RIP love you forever.
