Sobre el álbum
El sexto y último álbum de la primera etapa del dúo, In the Garden of Venus, de 1987, es un trabajo marcado por la melancolía del final. Lanzado cuando la separación de Modern Talking ya era un hecho, el disco tiene un aire de despedida, un elegante punto y final a una de las trayectorias más meteóricas de la historia del pop europeo.
Aunque musicalmente el álbum no se desvía de su fórmula característica, con temas como "In 100 Years" mostrando una temática ligeramente más apocalíptica, su escucha está inevitablemente teñida por el conocimiento de la ruptura. La producción parece algo más contenida y menos exultante que en sus trabajos anteriores.
En consecuencia, "In the Garden of Venus" es una obra crepuscular, el último capítulo de un fenómeno que había arrasado en todo el mundo. Es un adiós agridulce que, sin saberlo en ese momento, dejaría la puerta abierta a un regreso triunfal una década después.

Letra
Outside the gates of heaven Oh, there lives a unicorn I close my eyes to seven Oh, this world is not my home A broken heart in danger And a pillow filled with tears Oh, can you see the strangers? In the pain and in the fears Can you feel my heart? Baby don't give up Can you feel my love tonight? In one hundred years Love is illegal In a hundred years from now In a hundred years Love is illegal in this lonely, heartbreak town In a hundred years Love is illegal All your dreams will die In a hundred years Love is illegal And your hope will not survive L.O.V.E. Love is illegal in my heart Hear my heart is beating L.O.V.E. Love is illegal in my heart Hear my heart is beating You're looking through a fire Computers everywhere Oh, you're a shotgun rider Controllers here and there And you read old love letters Drowning in the sea Oh baby it doesn't matter Oh you've lost all what you feel Can you feel my heart?

Letra
Love is a lie and Love is a mess Telling the secrets of loneliness Our love survive How does love survive? Letters are written Words are spoken Some hearts are better left unbroken How will love survive How will love survive Little by little, step by step We were called the dirty pets Heart to heart and side by side Love will never hide Locomotion tango on a lonely rainbow We will dancin' baby Don't wait for heroes Locomotion tango on a lonely rainbow We will dancin' baby Romancin' lady Locomotion in my heart See you dancin' in the darkness Locomotion let us start Let us dancin' in the moonlight Baby, you're waiting Baby, you cry See all the fools babe with their lies Our love survive How does love survive? What does it take to kill your love? What does it take to get that stuff? Our love survive How does love survive? Little by little, step by step We were called the dirty pets Heart to heart, side by side Love will never hide - Good Girls Go to Heaven (BadGirls Go Everywhere)3:37
