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 »

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 again 
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 glamor and pain, glamor 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 glamor and pain, glamor 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 lumière
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 glamor and pain, glamor and pain 

See me fly, feel my pain
Hear me cry, know my name 

Glamor and pain
