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 »

It's Xmas time again
Has it really been a year
And a soldier sighs again
And thinks about his kids and English beer

Pulls on his boots again
And steps into the pissing rain
And the clouds look just like dirty sheep
But at least he's got a job

And he knows he can't complain
And you may think that this song comes too late
But lest we forget
This tango Atlantico isn't over yet

Can you imagine this
The general and the lady dance
She flashes victory signs and smokes cigars
He shines his medals up for one last chance

They make a pretty pair
But no one understands their game
Because they can't agree about the stakes
They can't agree on anything

They can't even agree on the name
And you may think that this song comes too late
But lest we forget
This tango Atlantico isn't over yet

Sorry Tommy . . . Lost a foot? . . . Bloody land mines . . . No more soccer for you . . . 
And you may think that this song comes too late
But lest we forget
This tango Atlantico isn't over yet
