Take A Look Lyrics


I'm a ragged man with a ragged heart
But I wear my soul with pride
You can see me on the road
See me carrying in my homeAnd perhaps it seems that I'm all alone
But I'm happy here inside
You can keep your fancy dress
'Cause to me it don't impressWhen I look in your face
That camera smile looks out of place on you
By the look in your eyes
I can see you realizeSo lend yourself to me
I'll show you what could beWell I've come so far down so many roads
I've experienced your pain
You know that that's a fact
I can see the way you actBut I learned to see what was wrong with me
And I won't go back again
I know I've made mistakes
But I also made the breakYou surround yourself
With secrets you are afraid to show to the world

You convince yourself
There's no other way to go
Don't you see the smile on my face
Does it look so out of placeSo lend yourself to me
I'll show you what could be
Yes I willSo many ways
For you to spend the passing daysLoving and living or losing and using
Life is forgiving so use it well
Feeling revealing or wheeling and dealing
Life's not for stealing and time will tellTake a look at your face
(Loving and living or losing and using)
(Life is forgiving so use it well)
(Feeling revealing or wheeling and dealing)
(Life's not for stealing and time will tell)Take a look at your face
(Loving and living or losing and using)
(Life is forgiving so use it well)
(Feeling revealing or wheeling and dealing)
(Life's not for stealing and time will tell)You must surely know
If man made heaven then man made hell
So take a look at yourself
What's this secret you can't tell me?When I look in your face
I see that smile so out of place on you
By the look in your eyes
I can see you realize, oh yea

Internationally popular British funk-rock quartet fronted by Mark King and Mike Lindup, best known for their hits Lessons In Love, Something About You, The Sun Goes Down (Living It Up), Love Games and Hot Water. They were formed on the Isle of Wight.

Though their membership has fluctuated throughout the years, the original and perhaps best-known lineup consisted of Mark King aka "Thunderthumbs" (vocals & bass), Mike Lindup (vocals & keyboards) and brothers Boon Gould (guitar) and Phil Gould (drums). After the success of the Running in the Family album, the Gould brothers left the band, citing musical differences and nervous exhaustion. King and Lindup continued, picking up replacement artists in Gary Husband on drums and former Go West and Kate Bush guitarist Alan Murphy. Murphy sadly passed away after suffering from an AIDS related illness in October 1989. The band released their then swansong album, Forever Now, in 1994.

At the end of the 80s, Mark King was recognized as one of the best bass players in the world having pioneered the 'slap and pull' technique, treating the bass as a percussion instrument. His style and virtuosity still are hugely influential, considering he also sang while he played very difficult basslines.

Following the formal breakup of the band in the mid-90s King later performed with a new lineup under the Level 42 moniker, before he and Lindup reunited to record Retroglide in 2006.

As of 2012, King and Lindup are still touring with personnel of Pete Ray Biggin, Sean Freeman and Nathan King completing the current lineup.
