Level 42 - All Around Lyrics






Your small time view is so oblique
You think your thoughts are so unique
Your squeaky lies are sneaky clean
Cos you won't say just what you mean
Now, I don't recognize you

Oh, I don't recognize you
You bled me dry and left me high
Your dirty heart is by the by
You trash your friends like it's a game
Then you cry and claim the pain
Now, I don't recognize you
Oh, I don't recognize you

[Chorus]
All around it's all around
All ready to be found
All ready to take you down
Down, down, down, down
All around it's all around
All ready to be found
All ready to bring you round
Bring you round now

You break your beats and drop your bombs
Cos everybody else is wrong
You hawk your dove and say your prayers
Like you're the only one who cares
Don't like your TVocricy
Your karaokeosophy
Can't take another minute of what you say
I won't be the bait today
Now, I don't recognize you
Oh, I don't recognize you

[Chorus]

Hypno trips a psycho blitz
You tried it all but nothing fits
You got a little habit that burns your nose
A bony fido freaky pose
You hide your hat behind a stare
You take the heat out of the air
A solid state electric sigh
What made you so angelized
Well, I don't recognize you
And I won't angelize you
And I won't angelize you
Because I don't recognize you anymore

    Wonderful!
    The bongos are a really nice touch in any song and they work so well in this one (I used to play the bongos in my primary school musical group in the early 1980s. Just before Christmas we'd go around the local residential care homes and play for the residents there. It was something nice to do, for sure!). 🙂

  2. E.... B....

    This song is a perfect example of All You need is a Cool Groove, with subtle and smart chord changes and effective keyboard, percussion , horn blows and smooth vocals

    Other than the title track not a massive fan of this L42 album. BUT this version of this track is awesome. Bass reminds me of a physical presence and a bit of thye groove of love meeting love. Anyway, thanks for posting sounds smooth!

    These guys take twelve years off and put out some of their best stuff ever. May they play for another 50 years. I don't think I've ever heard them play so well together. The live production is perfect. Amazing sound.

    WEW!!! Fantastical!!! ;-))))) <3 U

  25. M.... B....

    @nancyl2 Yes, right you are !.

  26. N.... B....

    This is a magnificent sound: When a band reachs to my core + chills run through my body; IT IS RESONATING WITHIN. THAT IS WHAT IS IMPORTANT. Some of you sound like my son, who writes such fantastical music,"I don't want to put it on the Youtube because I am fearful IT MAY NOT HAVE THE SUPER SOUND IT has on the specail Electonic system I created it." FOR GOD SAKE--> Humanity needs these fantastical vibrations. Stop the damn egoic trip. {The Bass, Sax, Key/B drums vocals Pure Beauty.} <3 ;-)

  27. s.... ....

    Status basses are alright, but the tone on the high end is crap. The Low end is alright but the plucks and high notes sound like he's playing a guitar with the amp shut off...no bass or tone at all. just "plink'....that said...I'd take one in a second....:)

  28. t.... b....

    Totally agree!! Im 16 and I love how level 42 are better when live. Being in a band as well, i know that its hard to get a good sound when your live. each and every guy here is a TRUE MUSICIAN!!!!!!!

  29. 7.... ....

    I think Level 42 is one of bands that always sounds better live . A far cry from most of the bands today. Mark and the boys always have some new take on everything they play;its called creativity, the hall mark of true musicianship.Not some regurgitated sample. Just great!!

  30. 7.... ....

    What a cool groove,great song . This song is great live .The Status sounds good , I think the MK II is better. But I have a soft spot for Series II. Alembics ,clarity and warmth.

  31. C.... G....

    I think i ve watched this DVD so many times now .. it's a wonder I haven't worn it out by now hahaha!! I am so so glad i bought it now ... and i also agree Kawaku is fantastic :-D!!

  32. b.... ....

    I hope they invite Kawaku back on this tour, he did make a big inpact on the bands' sound.

  33. b.... ....

    very nice!
