Level 42 - Hot Water Lyrics
Tell me something
Why do I always find it hard
Just to get along
Try my best for nothing
Every little thing I do is wrong
Feel it in my brain
Driving me insane
Round and round
The same old tune
Daddy's on the phone
You know you're not alone
Turn that down
And clean up your room
(Don't fall in)
In hot water
Sons and daughters
(They don't do)
What they oughta
Tell (tell) you something
Music is the key to set me free
To the beat (on the street) I'm jumping
Forgetting all the things they said 'bout me
Here it comes again
Chugging like a train
Round and round
An impeccable groove
I know it's getting late
But I won't hesitate
Can't slow down
Got to do what I do
Sons and daughters
(Always in)
In hot water
Wasting time
Is a crime in their eyes
But I'm still young
So much time to decide what to do
I don't need confirmation
For my boyhood extrapolation
Though I'm not sure of my direction
I have the groove for my protection
Here it comes again
Chugging like a train
Round and round
An impeccable groove
I know it's getting late
But I won't hesitate
Can't slow down
Got to do what I do
Sons and daughters
(Don't fall in)
In hot water
(When they fall by the way)
Sons and daughters
(They don't do)
What they oughta
Tell me something
Where you staying tonight
Your folks
Have waited up for you
Now they've locked the door
And turned off the light

Level 42 Hot Water Comments
In the days before footloose, Kevin Bacon filling in for Phil Gould on drums.
Slammin ass track!
My life. He's sooo handsome. I can't stop listening to all of their stuff. They are aMazing and there is no other music like it to this day. They will always remind me of my mother also. Please come to Albuquerque!
He's killing that Bass!
What a great fuckin' song...
Better than today's music, fact.
Yeah...
We don't need no stinkin drum machines!
What a fuckin' great song...long live Level 42!
The two girls at 1:13/1:15, both gorgeous.
Thanks Siri, I almost forgot about the Song!!
what a tune and the slap bassline is amazing, still love it
You appreciate artits more when a member of that group is no longer alive as is the case with Boon Gould who passed away earlier this year
I enjoy playing level 42 air bass guitar the most
English Funk at its best .
public is f*cking lame
jaco pastorius stanley clarke... mark "the king of bass "
Reminds rhythm little to Slippery people of Talking Heads.
Another Level 42 video with sound terribly low...please, Polydor/UMG people, can you remaster these videos properly?!
Led Adams plays two listeners requests to play level forty-two songs on solar radio just now
RIP Boon Gould from Level 42!
RIP Boon. :(
Can anyone out there give us the name of a modern bassist that comes anywhere near Mr.King. In fact does anyone now know the names of musicians?.
Nice to meet you 😅
Deutschland 86 brought me here!
This song still has a definite edge and needs to be better known.
Fan forever !
Love this band. Bass guitarist wow. Ok let's listen 1 more time.
Cracking old but gold song.
wow so groovy. ill be tapping on stuff the rest of the day!
I m hoping that Level 42 will come in my home town Belgrade Serbia for a very first time Serbian people knows how to recognize a great music
Marks hair hasn’t changed that much in 30yrs, gives me hope ✌🏻
What bass player ,one of the best ever , no question.
Fantastic song.
2:19 fucking genius
Dat bass!
it’s too slow.
I loved this song
.....Io ancora!!!!!
All Level 42 songs remind me of my mother who passed away 17 years ago. Good memories sitting in thz car with her and a recorded cassette playing all these songs. Never will I forget her. Have a nice day, life's too short!
der song hat es so in sich, super
oh... that bass funk is fine
One of the fattest beefiest tunes they ever did.
The Bass is something quite special:)
yeah, the bassline is simply genius
mark is just Amazing on the bass.
Mark King......Un mostro!!!!!!.......di bravura!!!!!!!
Lyrically it's a pre-cursor to 'Running in the Family'
BRMB sport fridays 6-8 George Gavin and Tom Ross brought me here
Better than Cold Water!
if you can get to listen to the extended 12inch mix over 10 minutes long & writ until it fades out.............."bye bye everybody, bye bye"
phenomenal musicianship
I love it!! This is my teenage years right here, and it still takes me back.
can i come with you i know i need a TARDIS !! I' ve always found mad inspiration from these chaps incredible play AND live they are pretty much uncanny !! by coincindence i use to play in ska/ rock - ish band in ENGLAND and i knew a girl named GAYNOR at the time stay tuned for my ideas NIGHT LUV!!
WOW!! Thanks for the response - I never expected anyone would reply back to what I had written!! I LOVE the fact that you played in a band with someone named 'Gaynor' - that is incredible!!! Stay in touch sweetie, don't want to lose contact with you <3
fantastic outfit then and now👍
Its been 30 years since they left the band, but I still miss the Gould brothers. This songis one of my faves
mark king is a engine driving the band
Reminds me of when I drove a Mk2 Escort and had a pretty girlfriend ... How things have changed ... for the worse !
lol..I mirror your sentiments
That ending is abysmal
Not the real ending mate.
Been a very long time since I'd heard this but I didn't remember it ending suddenly like that.
chugging like a train
Seeing them tonight.... after al this time... happy
Mark King CRACK
you mean he was CRACKIN GOOD !! Funk to make you get off your arse and dance!!
Mark King is truly one of the best bass players I know, maybe besides Stanley Clarke or Jaco Pistorius
What about victor wooten?
Why aren't you mentioning -John Taylor, Sting, Tony Butler, etc etc
@mikey p Joe Dart is pretty good as well
@LuckyUnknown Yea def-There is too many to mention, As Jason mentioned 2 other bass players apart from Mark King saying one of the best bass players he knows
I agree Jason, but you gotta put Geddy Lee in there too.
savage bass
More than 30 years since I first listen to this, and still .....wow!
Wait what, Been over 30 years since you last heard that is very strange WTF???
I know you posted this a long time ago but still
Still a red hot production job after 32 years...
Damn right it is!
Frighteningly funky! The best!
Pezzo musicalmente strepitoso!!!!!!
to me he is still the best bass player in the world and I don't think there will be another one like him
I'd say that Victor Wooten is maybe just as good as him.
@LuckyUnknown + Johm Taylor-Obviously from Duran Duran
i agree but i like victor wooten, louis johnson, and john taylor too
Had this in my head today and it has been in there somewhere for the past 22 years. Had to search for it to listen to that seriously groovy bad ass slap bass. I used to listen to these guys when i was 7. Love this tune still.
"Seriously groovy bad ass slap bass." Good description...
Video raro é esse,desta música single, e ainda versão editada.
6/10/16

Looked for years to find this video! Who's lucky enough to own a jaydee supernatural 003SA bass like mark king's I have one
I wish!!!!
Stay inspired and keep playing I've also been searching for ages so i didn't imagine this !!? ENJOY !!
@pvtrichter88 Thanks man your great!!!
Moffat's Farming videos

My favourite track by the band.
Unici!!!!
