Howard Jones

Howard Jones (born John Howard Jones, 23 February 1955, Southampton, Hampshire, England) is a British musician, singer and songwriter. According to the Guinness Book of British Hit Singles & Albums, "Jones is an accomplished singer-songwriter who was a regular chart visitor in the mid 1980s with his brand of synthpop. Jones, who was equally popular in the U.S., appeared at Live Aid".Allmusic journalist, Stephen Thomas Erlewine adds, "Jones was one of the defining figures of mid 1980s synthpop. His music merged the technology intensive sound of New Wave with the cheery optimism of hippies and late 1960s pop. Jones racked up a string of hits in the mid and late 1980s, before he retreated into being a cult figure in the 1990s". more »

Here in the dark, the shadows, they haunt me
Here in the shade, oh, the bright lights, they blind me
Yesterday is gone, time for moving on

Here's a brand new start, gonna base it on my heart
It's another day, I've got to find a better way
Won't you help me?

Failing that
If you have to go
It's all up to me, I know

I just wanna change my world but from the inside
I just wanna live my life
And make this place, make this time
For all our lives to be respected

Here in the cold light of day, this vision
Paints a different world, a world of the heart
And I want to live there

I've been on the run from all the people I've become
I want to shed this skin and start it all again
I want to draw a line in the sand for one last time
Will you help me?

Failing that
If you have to go
It's all up to me, I know

I just wanna change my world but from the inside
I just wanna live my life
With some hope and to do what's right

I just wanna change this world
And make this place, make this time
For all our lives to be respected

I just wanna change my world
(Change my world, ooh)
I just wanna live my life and to do what's right
(I just wanna live my life and to do what's right)

I just wanna change this world
(I just wanna change this world from the inside)
I just wanna live my life
(Just wanna live my life)
