Jones, Howard - New Song Lyrics






I've been waiting for so long
To come here now and sing this song
Don't be fooled by what you see
Don't be fooled by what you hear

This is a song to all of my friends
They take the challenge to their hearts
Challenging preconceived ideas
Saying goodbye to long standing fears

Don't crack up
Bend your brain
See both sides
Throw off your mental chains

I don't wanna be hip and cool
I don't wanna play by the rules
Not under the thumb of the cynical few
Or laden down by the doom crew

Don't crack up
Bend your brain
See both sides
Throw off your mental chains

Don't crack up
Bend your brain
See both sides
Throw off your mental chains

I've been waiting for so long
To come here now and sing this song
Don't be fooled by what you see
Don't be fooled by what you hear

This is a song to all of my friends
They take the challenge to their hearts
Challenging preconceived ideas
Saying goodbye to long standing fears

Don't crack up
Bend your brain
See both sides
Throw off your mental chains

  1. 3.... c....

    缶チューハイ♪

  2. s.... ....

    Im here from 1983!

  3. C.... H....

    Feels like I'm in a Saturday cartoon

  4. M.... Z....

    Aah... the 80's 🤗

    M.... Z....

    They were all that

    M.... Z....

    @Robbie Landrey I know bro...

  5. H.... m....

    Holborn station in London UK great city.

  6. M.... C....

    The 80s, the last decade of great as western identifiable culture. It went rapidly downhill from the 90s on.

  7. c.... ....

    I was an Apprentice for BT in 1983 when this came out, banging out on the Radio in a van first thing in the morning on a cold Autumnal day. Great time to be young the 80's no mobile phones or internet. Things that both bring people closer together but further apart in an oxymoron kind of way.

  8. A.... J....

    Wasn't the the mime's name Jeremiah or something?

  9. W.... ....

    Whilst I consider myself lucky to have grown up in the 80s, looking back, I now realise that the way we treated mime artists was appalling :(

  10. c.... ....

    This song made me happy as a little kid

  11. T.... ....

    This guy had the best hair. It's really monumental

  12. M.... W....

    swietny videoclip oraz super piosenka oraz wspanialy howard jones

  13. M.... F....

    مطرب قوي

  14. a.... ....

    Listening and watching this December 2019 and as along as there is life in my body I will be many years from now.

  15. F.... M....

    There was a British-made documentary, Synth-Britannica, where they analyzed their top ten great synthesizer-music innovators in the 80''s pop scene. The top pics where 1. Pet Shop Boys, 2. Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark and 3rd, Erasure. Very keen top picks, I was shocked how the totally trashed Howard Jones, claiming it was all musical fluff. It was so bitter. But, the guy was a GREAT songwriter.

  16. T.... M....

    I hate the fact I was born in 1992.

  17. R.... O....

    The world is a better place because of HoJo

  18. M.... K....

    Another synth pop gem

  19. R.... S....

  22. T.... M....

  23. S.... S....

    Climbing up on Salisbury Hill...

  24. J.... S....

    A kinder, gentler Pied Piper 😘

  28. C.... S....

    I'm a big fan.

  29. c.... ....

    i heard this sang by people taking part in toxteth day of dead 2019, big smiles ;)

  30. R.... L....

    My favorite part of the song is 1:43
    I just love synthesizers

  31. R.... L....

    Did anybody ever call Howard Jones Ho-Jo?
    My Dad says that was his nickname

  32. a.... ....

    Very good

  33. P.... B....

    Where the hell did the years go?!

  34. J.... K....

    Új Dal

  35. L.... ....

    1983: i was 11 years old and i still remember it, what synth did he used in this song? Jupiter 8?

  36. C.... ....

    I remember this getting beat to death on the radio then, and I had no idea it was HoJo until I heard the later, "Things Can Only Get Better"...

  37. T.... D....

    FINALLY tracked this song down! It was driving me crazy, all I could remember was "bend", "break" and oohoohoo! Thanks, Google Song search. *^^*

  38. s.... j....

    Happy times x

  39. F.... Z....

    I'm born 1987, but this song is supreme!

  40. G.... ....

    Want a time warp? Get on the tube, it's really amazing how little some lines have changed. The Piccadilly still uses '76 metro camels! Yes the same as shown in this video. Although London Blackfriars station has changed significantly. Holborn however looks nearly identical, platform and stair levels.

  41. R.... F....

    The end of this video song it's so sad.....

  42. S.... B....

    I miss the early 80s British Invasion Haircut 100, Yaz, New Order, Pet Shop Boys, and more

  43. D.... F....

    Never noticed that it’s a bit of a Solsbury Hill rip-off before

  44. L.... S....

    muito nice cara

  45. d.... m....

    One of the greatest songs ever....imho

  46. I.... G....

    No tenia idea que esta. Canción la cantaba homard jones buena música

  47. n.... ....

    Sing along with me now, with young, immature 80s ears: "Out the window, foo so low"

  48. G.... M....

    Its magic sound years '80

  49. J.... D....

  56. E.... E....

    One of my professors is obsessed with the 80’s and plays an 80’s song during the class break and has us guess, haha. Never heard this song till now. Shout-out to Mr. Madsen!

  65. r.... y....

    Mtv was the best from 1981 to 90. I watched the first video in 81 and it was cool. The 80s was an exciting decade because of MTV! I want my MTV!

  76. T.... ....

    That synth solo is divine

  77. L.... G....

    Ahhhhh i miss the 80s😍😍😍😍

  78. E.... ....

    Not the video images I expected for the lyrics. I never anticipated the demonstration of walking off the worker's assembly line, pushing people around who remain in a que while you brush past them, stealing window washer's scrub buckets, or promotion of mass truancy. Playing keyboard on the subway was an uplifting moment.

  79. C.... T....

    The "second British invasion" was great for the decade, British bands poured out of garages,cities, clubs, art school bringing back soul, Motown, r&b and introducing reggae, ska, dub, Irish and Scottish influences, mixing it up with synthpop, new wave, postpunk, pop, attitude, cool, accents, style helping make the 80's the most musically widely varied decade. Thanks guys!

  80. A.... M....

    Como no llorar de alegría escuchar a Howard Jones me da sentido. La vida Te amo!!! Mi música favorita

  81. s.... ....

    Why did the 80's have to end

  82. T.... D....

    You are a great musician, Howard.

    Seriously. 😘

  83. M.... D....

    Woke up with this in my head - lyrics are great!

  84. s.... ....

    Howard rocks!

  85. z.... ....

    And do not forget, he played his keyboards/synths LIVE!

  86. J.... T....

    Un clásico que nunca caerá mal en cualquier momento del día .

  87. r.... w....

    2019 and still relevant..

  88. A.... H....

    No wonder British industry went to cock in the eighties with this cunt dragging everyone away.

  89. R.... F....

    That Rolls Royce's tax was due in 2003....scrapped

  90. b.... ....

    he is a class act x

  91. F.... S....

    Loved this song was looking for this video. Happy days.😁

  92. D.... C....

    Well Howard, This is a truly memorable melody that has been with me since I was a kid. What else can I say? Positive messages all the way with keyboards and percussion and interpretive art.

  93. Y.... B....

    My world came crashing down when my dad died in 82, I was only 15 yrs old, the worst time for a young man growing up... but when this song came out it put a little joy and pep back into me, and still does.. when I get to a low point it pops back in my head and after listening to it for a while it changes my mind set... even tho I'm really into old rock and roll then the pop songs of that time , I'm grateful that this one came out and to Howard cause it shure helped me and still does

  94. k.... 6....

    Everytime I hear-listen 2 New Song by HOWARD JONES cool 🌬 chills vibe thru me everytime Deja Vu flashback 1983-84 BEST forever. ⚡🎼🔦💯

  95. s.... l....

    Loves cock this fella

    s.... l....

    he'd like yours I presume...

  96. D.... B....

    I want to do the same in my workplace, take Audi of my boss and drive with all the girls who work with me...

  97. F.... ....

    1983....I suffered a year long bout of deep depression....with time and counselling....it lifted...I have to say this song helped me a lot, and I was able to "throw off my mental chains"....I will be forever indebted to Mr. Jones for this song....

    F.... ....

    My dad died in 82, I was only 15 yrs old ,my world had crumbled around me .. when I first heard this song it put a little joy and pep back into my life, and it still does when I get to a low point, it pops back into my head.. I'm grateful that it came out when it did, it shure helped me
