Joe Jackson

Joe Jackson (born David Ian Jackson, 11 August 1954) is an English musician and singer-songwriter now living in Berlin, whose five Grammy Award nominations span from 1979 to 2001. He is probably best known for the 1979 hit song and first single "Is She Really Going Out with Him?", which still gets extensive US FM radio airplay; for his 1982 hit, "Steppin' Out"; and for his 1984 success with "You Can't Get What You Want (Till You Know What You Want)". He was popular for his pop/rock and New Wave music early on before moving to more eclectic, though less commercially successful, pop/jazz/classical hybrids. more »

 Struggling with Drowning? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

I don't love you
But I'm lost
Thinking of you
And the ghosts

Of so many special moments
That passed so quickly at the time
And now they come and track me down
And echo round and round and round

And time goes quickly
Or disappears completely
And I feel like I fade away
Like drowning

I don't need you
But it's so hard
To be without you
Though you're not far away

I censor my emotions
And tell myself to bide my time
But every time you come around
You batter my defenses down

But so gently
Like some sweet hypnosis
And the world just slips away
I'm drowning

It's dark
My heart is pounding
I'm sinking down
Into a pool of passion

There's laughter as I drown
Like so many lost before me
Damned by lust and gone to hell
And then I look into your eyes

And something melts
I shake inside
And cool water
Washes me all over

Washes me away
And still I'm drowning
