The Breakaways
The Breakaways were an English female vocal trio, formed in 1962. Britain's premiere session vocalists throughout the 1960s, The Breakaways also recorded a handful of little-known girl group singles.
Career
The original members consisted of Vicki Haseman (Vicki Brown after marriage to Joe Brown), Margot Quantrell, Barbara Moore (who also was a Lady Bird), and Betty Prescott. The girls were originally members of the Liverpool girl singers The Vernons Girls. Prescott was replaced by Jean Ryder in 1963.
Haseman was later replaced by the original member Betty Prescott. In addition to recording their own songs, they did session work with many artists, including the background vocals on The Jimi Hendrix Experience's version of "Hey Joe".
Having signed with the Pye label, their background vocal activities included collaborations with Petula Clark. Most notably this was on Clark's international hits, "Downtown" (not only the original English version, but also in French, Italian and German). There followed "I Know a Place", "Round Every Corner", and "A Sign of the Times", and on several of Clark's most successful French recordings, among them "Je me sens bien auprès de toi", "Mon bonheur danse" (a vocal version of The Shadows' "Foot Tapper") and "Tu perds ton temps".

Red Alert
you're never gonna walk away from this
nothings gonna save your life
but you're waiting for the real apocalypse
but you couldn't see the light
you find something to keep you satisfied
but not for as long as you'd like
so you find a vice to buy you some time
but you couldn't afford the price
now you're in the same situation
that you were before you came
when it's all said and done
will you still feel the same?
red alert
run and hide, you're under attack
we're in a state of alert
red alert
you've made your bed now there's no turning back
we're in a state of...
you're living a lie, prepare to die
times turnning out, it goes
tick, tick, tick, tick gone
now you've backed yourself into a corner
now you got no place to go
you thought that you found a new world order
but disorders all you know
you've got plans for a revolution
but it's harder done than said
when you find out that its just an illusion
you'd be better off dead
now you're in the same situation
that you were before you came
when it's all said and done
will you still feel the same?
red alert
run and hide, you're under attack
we're in a state of alert
red alert
you've made your bed now there's no turning back
we're in a state of...
you're living a lie, prepare to die
times turnning out, it goes
tick, tick, tick, tick gone
making allegations, complicating situations
you thought you made a name for yourself
but you're to blind to see
that you didnt change anything at all
hide your head from the bed you made yourself
red alert
run and hide, you're under attack
we're in a state of alert
red alert
you've made your bed now there's no turning back
we're in a state of...
you're living a lie, prepare to die
times turnning out, it goes
tick, tick, tick, tick gone
bleeding heart, a dying soul
staged as revolution
but your mind dont change
you still feel the same
another false solution
