Jones, Howard - The Voices Are Back Lyrics
He saw flames in the department store
He tried to get the people to the safety of the door
There was no fire the voices were telling him what to do
You could see from his face he needs someone
To help pull him through
The voices are back they're telling him what to do
The voices are back they're telling him what to do
Ripping through the fabric between his world and the real
He's trying to protect you but
The knife will know that your flesh meets steel
Took him to an institution
And they helped the voices go away
But he didn't have the right set of papers
So they put this boy in jail
The voices are back they're telling him what to do
The voices are back they're telling him what to do
Six weeks turned to twelve
He was locked up for twenty-three hours a day
The warden found him in his cell
His only crime was that he was ill
The voices are back they're telling him what to do
The voices are back they're telling him what to do

Jones, Howard The Voices Are Back Comments
A particularly bleak story about a poor fellow suffering with mental illness (possibly schizophrenia?) - really sad song
This song usually reminds me of rain falling.
I remember seeing Thomas Dolby, Herbie Hancock, Howard Jones and Stevie Wonder perform on the Grammys ceremony in the 80s. That was a true recognition of how talented Howard Jones was and is. It was an amazing thing for me to see. Love this guy
Nice ethereal song .
I echo what teddibear said.
beautiful song.
