The Voice was the opening track from the 1981 Ultravox album Rage In Eden - the second from the incarnation of the group as led by Midge Ure. As a follow up to the hit album Vienna of the previous year it wasn't quite as successful in the charts, but nevertheless strengthened the group's position as a "New Romantic" force, with powerful synth sounds and often political lyrics.
The video is of a 12" 45rpm issue . . .

Native these words seem to me
All speech directed to me
I've heard them once before
I know that feeling
Stranger emotions in mind
Changing the contours I find
I've seen them once before
Someone cries to me
CHORUS :
Oh, the look and the sound of
The Voice
They try, they try
Oh, the shape and the power of
The Voice
In strong low tones
Forceful and twisting again
Wasting the perfect remains
I've felt it once before
Slipping over me
CHORUS
Sweetly the voices decay
Draw on the lines that they say
I'd lost it once before
Now it cries to me
CHORUS
Oh, the look and the power of
The Voice
They try, they try
Oh, the shape and the sound of
The Voice
In strong low tones
Oh, the shape and the power of
The Voice
In strong low
