Kershaw, Nik - Don Quixote Lyrics
Your mind can play tricks
Makes you what you want to be
Just like superheroes
You saw them on tv
Got to go, duty calls
Here I am
Superman, lois lane
Saved the world, back again
Here I am
In my old, red saloon
I'm a knight in shining armour
If I were asleep, man
I couldn't be much calmer
Hit the road, on the run
Faster than anyone
Here I am
One for all, all for one
Shake the fist, shoot the gun
Here I am
Don quixote
What do you say?
Are we proud? are we brave?
Or just crazy?
Don quixote
What do you say?
Are we shooting at windmills like you?
Common sense, is as good
As a cafe on the moon
When man and machinery come to their high noon
Beat the clock, punch the wall
Fix'd in no time at all
Here I am
Radio on the blink
Kick the cat, hit the drink
Here I am
Don quixote
What do you say?
Are we proud, are be brave
Or just crazy?
Don quixote
What do you say?
Are we shooting at windmills like you?
Here I am
Don quixote
We're all men of la mancha

Kershaw, Nik Don Quixote Comments
He was such a handsome, charming guy.
Sooo 80’s. I think this might be the first time I’ve ever seen this. Awesomeness!
Sounds soooooo 80's. On top of that, real crap song.
Never seen this video before- strange because very familiar with the album
Donkey Horte'
This song is awesome!
Try to watch Paul Young - Why Does a Man Have to Be Strong after...
Video producer is an .....! 1,23 to get to the song???? W love to Mr Kershaw, but...butt.
Hoté says he's a horse, not a donkey :)
My dad fingered my mum to this music back in the day.
Nik "Sancho Panza" Kershaw.
Aunty sharon
T.M.O.A.M. the mother of all mullets
Golf GTI very 80s
Best Golf ever.
He lookslikes Adrian Heath for Everton from 85/86 panini sticker book. x
Saw him at The National Arts Center in Ottawa Canada back in 1986, I think. He was doing the tour for "The Riddle". Excellent concert!!
God Damn!!! What a bassline!!!!
I mean!! This has to be one the ugliest song ever, it is impossible to lysten completly.
Talk about reeking the 1980's...
Great video and song!
not your typical synth pop song
but then this was '85 supposedly the best year for 80's music, nes pas?
Not that I'm superficial, but this is my favorite of the 80's ;)
sorry....these just sound like non de script 80s songs
This song will be in my head for days... 🎺
_common sense, is as good as a café on the moon_ ☕🌒
Excellent pop song with entertaining video.
oh dear
Superman - Lois Lane saved the world back again. Here I am.
Bass & ryrhem combined with the horns, a masterpiece.
Wouldn't it be nice if the genius kept putting gems like this out!
Ah.....those mullets
adorei esse filme legal achei muito interesante
Legal esse filme parabens
Nik is being so silly in this video. That's what I loved about him.
You may go charging at windmills In these days
Absurdities never change
.."are we shouting at windmills like you?" gives the false impression that Don Quixote was a windmill.
I can't be the only one that grew up thinking that?
I do wish these 80's pop stars would take more care in delineating their classicist new wave allegories.
what 😂
He's soo cute why he is not so cute as the 80. Wwhhyyyyy😭😭😭
kocham jego piosenki sama moja mlodosc ehhh
Moja rowniez, do dzis go slucham. Nie mam zielonego pojecia o dzisiejszej muzyce.
Cale szczescie, ze ostatnio bardzo duzo grop z 80-ch lat znowu wydaja plyty.
Kim Wilde, Culture Club, Alphaville....
love the bass on this track awesome
Classic from. August 1985
Undeniably perfect. Nik Kershaw was and is one of the UK’s most underrated song writers.
I'd put him up there with Prince. You might not get that until you hear all of his non-commercial album material. His grasp of chords and melody is easily up there with Prince.
Ruby Tuesday
But he in not cute😭😭😭
Its not human
Completely agree. I remember having his album on cassette! 😬👍🏻
@Drew Layton His commercial stuff was just as good as any of his none commercial music, all his song shad meaning. The problem is people that tend to hate eighties music , tend to lump great artists like Nik with shite like Aussie soap stars that turned into singers and Rick Astley.
Music of my childhood. The amazing Nik Kershaw.
I'm always waiting for the "AAAAHEEEIGHIAAAAAAA!"
He's such a cutie and definitely underrated
Brings back nostalgic feelings about WLIR in NY. The only station in that area that played this guy.
Nik really knows how to pull off a mullet
Cualquier canción de Nik Kershaw me parece mejor que esa que tiene tan conocida. Esta es la primera vez que la escucho, suena bastante bien!!! :)
Nik Kershaw was the ultimate 80's one-man show - gifted and versatile way before Duran Duran begun navigating Platinum Yachts!
Now that is what you call a bullet mullet.
Great music innovator of the 80's
6 People need shooting this song is quality, Don Quixote what do you say?
he looks just like C Thomas Howell in the Hitcher.
A true pop star with talent - we will never see the like again.
Sad but true
Yes true, the 80s were the last decade for true intelligence and talent
Good drummer Charlie Morgan as I recall!
Great bass line and horns!
The name of this brilliant song is a tribute to a really famous Spanish manuscript by the famous Spanish writer Cervantes. His book "Don Quixote" is all about an amnesiac elderly Spaniard who reads books about fairy tales and knights in shining armour and loses her sanity and believes himself to be a reborn famous Spanish Knight in the 1600s and hilariously yells at and attacks and tilts at windmills believing them to be giants and mistakes a tavern for a castle and sheep for an invading army.
Cheick Tiote, what do you say?
Thank you so much for uploading sky90s. I didn't know there was a video to this song. Loved it. Great song.
Nik kershaw 💗💗💗💗💗💪😘
I don't care that this is just for a video, Nik should still have worn a helmet. If he had fallen off his horse and seriously hurt himself, then it would have been his own fault. Before anybody asks, I know what I'm talking about.
Are you his brother? If so, then I understand you looking out for him. It would've messed his hair up though, and looked weak, wouldn't it? I used to ride around helmetless on my BMW motorcycle before the law changed in California - but only in town - never on the freeway! I'd have to say a horse is a bit safer than a motorcycle, because at least you can hang onto it. Once a bike goes down - that's it. People argued about the safety angle in town and I maintained that not wearing a helmet made me more aware of what was happening around me and made me ride safer. People who rode on the freeways without a helmet though were just plain stupid.
I agree, it's kept me up many a night
GCHQ Time travel?? hmm
time travel :)
I love this! so cool!
crazy video.
Volkswagen Golf I GTI plus some good ol´80´s music.....= Perfect combination !! ))

This is one of my favorite Nik Kershaw songs of all time.
His best, I think
It’s so beyond a mullet. Maybe Super-Mega-Flockofseagulls-Ultramullet
Great son with out a doubt.
Nik was a comic geek, i like it
he also used the Riddler from Batman in "The Riddle"
Also, this song is about a famous book character from Spain of the same name.
I think there was a lot of misunderstood pop music in the 80s
I agree, mate. A much maligned artist of the time n still is for some reason?
Love this guy.... so cool music.
