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 »

Red velvet curtains
Open noiselessy
Lovers and children
Strain their necks to see
A figure in the dark
Now almost revealed
A swirl of velvet cloak
And now he's disappeared

Alchemy

Close up on the lips
Shiny shiny red
Whispering
What was that she said?
A lightning flash
A sudden silhouette
"Who's there?", "A friend"
A glowing cigarette

Alchemy

Thrill, to secrets never told
Taste, the bitter turned to sweet
See, the dross turned into gold
Hear, a B sharp turned to C

Beautiful dancers
Fly into the air
Enchanted by a melody
That isn't really there
The savage beast
Has turned into a man
The curtains close
To open on command
