Daryl Bamonte recalls "Addiction" as being premiered at 1980-11-14 Technical College, Southend-On-Sea, Essex, England, UK:
And through faded memories, I seem to remember "Addiction" being showcased at Southend College 11/80 but I might be wrong."

Lyrics
I can't help it, not sure what to do
Does seem crazy, not good for my health
I've seen the doctor, he's come to look at me
If you don't believe me, don't believe
Closer all the time
Closer all the time
Closer all the time
Closer all the time
But I'm saying that I need a pill
I need you like a drug to keep my feel
I can't handle everything I do
Now I'll prove I'm only good to you
Closer all the time
Closer all the time
Closer all the time
Closer all the time
You just have to look me in the eye
I kept running, I don't know why
It's an addiction, an image of love
Your heart pushing angel from above
Closer all the time
Closer all the time
Closer all the time
Closer all the time
Closer all the time
Closer all the time
Close!
