LYRICS:
Step up here, tell me Am I dumb enough to believe? When somebody says jump on this Would you follow them on your knees? Am I wrong or right To be dancing with you tonight? Instead of diamonds and fantasies What I got is my sanity My baby knows what I want He's getting me and my thing He better take what I got Or he won't see me again 'Cause there's been too many guys Just making moves on the floor My baby's reading my mind He knows that I'm needing more And I left my heart in Tokyo Down by the river don't you know I had to let it go Nobody know know knows that I left my heart in Tokyo Down by the river don't you know I had to let it go Nobody no can bring it home Seventeen and dumb Look at me I know right from wrong You and me we got something on and I don't need to hear that come come Make you mine With the diamonds in the right sack Give it time and I'm gonna get you right back Saw the signs and I never ever fight back I keep it tight 'cause I know you really like that Do it right and you know I'm gonna hype that Write the rhymes And I'll sing it to you right back And I left my heart in Tokyo Down by the river don't you know I had to let it go Nobody know know knows that I left my heart in Tokyo Down by the river don't you know I had to let it go Nobody no can bring it home Sick sick sick sick sick So tired of the best dress Didn't really want to keep it for the rest Oh oh oh So I skipped to the next best Didn't really know that I was gonna end up here And I left my heart in Tokyo Down by the river don't you know I had to let it go Nobody know know knows that I left my heart in Tokyo Down by the river don't you know I had to let it go Nobody no can bring it home |

The song itself is amazing and has so many little bits we love we've made a long list of them that's pages long. The oriental touches and the bit three quarters of a way through when you think it's finished and suddenly kicks in again is just pure Xenomanian genius. They can make all the Vagabond albums they want but the fact that they can make songs like this one with these kind of intricate details that excite everyone from the causal listener to the nerdiest pop fan means that we will never write Xenomania off. Not to mention that this song was co-written by the amazing Annie. The Chemistry Is Dead
x
Considering that it was written by Xenomania it's no great surprise that 'Left My Heart In Tokyo' is, well, great. In fact, Mini Viva's debut single is nothing short of pure pop gold. The perky duo showcase their quirkily impressive pipes via a tale of exciting flings in far-flung climes, wailing: 'I left my heart in Tokyo, down by the river don't you know'.
x
Their debut single 'Left My Heart In Tokyo' - terrific title by the way - is a classic Xenomania confection: inventive production, quirky lyrics and loads of different musical ideas held together by the magnetic pull of an instant pop chorus. Digital Spy
x
Basically they have a xenomania sound that updates the Mel and Kim vibe from the 80s, mixes in some Girls Aloud friendly verses and sprinkles it with some Betty Boo type rapping. It's like a tour through the greatest hits of pop and could well bring the girls some attention and success. DizzyPop!!
x
It's a brilliant buzz of disco pop which couples the best Xenomania rapping since 'strippers in the vicars in the back' with a gloriously funky bassline and some cheesy oriental sounds. Plus hold out there for the middle 8 and it's pummeling strings. Karinski
x
Their first disco-fabulous single Left my Heart in Tokyo is catchier than swine flu. InStyle
x
"I Left My Heart In Tokyo" is a sick pop diddy and I'm I love the whole disco vibe it brings to the table - you can't really make this song any better can you? But holla! There's a Fred Falke Dub! Electroqueer
