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 »

I've had that dream again
Where I'm flying thirty feet
Above the street again
Looking though windows, there you are

Sit down to eat again
It's the usual egg foo yung
You watch TV and then
Put the kids to bed

And then I see you
Reaching for my number
Then I hate you even more
I see it all

But no one sees me fly, no one feels my pain
No one hears me cry, no one knows my name
Is glamour and pain, glamour and pain

Do you remember me?
Or just the shiny, shiny shoes
I had you kiss for me
And my legs as smooth as chrome

Were you in ecstasy
As you were pumping out a flood
Of dollar bills for me
I'd cry mascara tears

If only I could give
A f*ck about it
And though you can't recall
I see it all

But no one sees me fly, no one feels my pain
No one hears me cry, no one knows my name
Is glamour and pain, glamour and pain

I'm hanging in the air
I look in your window at my own
Lipstick reflection there
And behind it such a precious son et lumire

Of all the normal stuff
About which I'm supposed to care
I'd like to smash right through
And help myself to your silverware

To cut your throat and run
Or maybe I'd just laugh at your expression
Hooray for superwhore
I see it all

But no one sees me fly, no one feels my pain
No one hears me cry, no one knows my name
Is glamour and pain, glamour and pain

See me fly, feel my pain
Hear me cry, know my name
Is glamour and pain
