I find it strange that nobody online (at least on the Now Online) has posted the lyrics to Thompson Twins' debut song but I don't mind being the first :P As far as I know this song has two versions but there's no difference in the lyrics and the other one is only available in like three places total- certainly not streaming.
It's a neat little post-punk song, not totally emblematic of the quirky smooth synth-pop they became famous for. Probably because the only member of that famous lineup here is the vocalist.

Inspiration is what we hunger for
Must be changes, it's part of the law
Search for new angles

Shapes and figures, you keep wasting my time
New combinations that much harder to find
Search for new angles

Tantilizing, the search for new clues
Celebrating different points of view
