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 »

King Pleasure is on a mission
To take the power from the local politicians
He's come to party and he shows it
He rules the world, well, man, everybody knows it

It's King Pleasure time
So show respect, get on your knees
You can't reject his right to please

King Pleasure is gonna get you
He do not give a damn about who wants to let you
You try to nag him, you try to scold him
They've built cages but no one can ever hold him

He knows your secret, he's got your number
He'll stop you workin' but he'll stop you getting dumber
You wanna hold him, you wanna kiss him
You can't deny it but it's futile to resist him

It's King Pleasure time
So show respect, get on your knees
You can't reject his right to please

Yeah
Yeah

King Pleasure will live forever
You can't control him though you think you're pretty clever
And after every computer crashes
He'll be laughing' as he's basking on your ashes

In King Pleasure time
So show respect, get on your knees
You can't reject his right to please
