Tears Run Rings (song)
"Tears Run Rings" is a 1988 song by English musician Marc Almond from his 1988 album '' The Stars We Are''. In addition to the standard 7" single, two 12-inch versions were released in 1988, one containing the 7" version and the 12" extended remix, and another containing two further extended remixes by Justin Straus and Almond's own band La Magia. All three releases included the B-side track "Everything I Wanted Love To Be". Various limited editions of the single were also released including a 7" numbered edition box set that included two postcards, a badge, a booklet and the 7" vinyl single.
