Level 42

Though I live on the edge time is on my side<br /> All the doors to my life are open wide<br /> Just as long as the wheels keep on turning 'round<br /> I will live for the groove 'til the sun goes downLiving it up, living it up<br /> I can feel it<br /> Living it up<br /> Is it a crazy notion?<br /> Living it up, living it up<br /> I can feel it<br /> Living it up<br /> I got forward motionI don't want to go to war, I don't want to go to war<br /> I said I know what I want and I don`t want to go war - do you follow me?<br /> I saw a soldier standing in a bar<br /> Looked so tired he'd come so far<br /> He said "I need to love someone, before they drop the atom bomb"There's a girl at the back making eyes at me<br /> And her hair long and black is a sight to see<br /> But I get kind of scared when love's around<br /> I just live for the groove 'til the sun goes downLiving it up, living it up<br /> I can feel it<br /> Living it up<br /> Is it a false emotion?<br /> Living it up, living it up<br /> I can feel it<br /> Living it up<br /> I got forward motionSo I'm a-taking you out but I'm a-faking<br /> I'm married to the beat<br /> But to the music I gave the heart I could have given you<br /> Still there's something 'bout the way that you move<br /> And the way that people stare it's the shock of the new<br /> I want my friends to see me standing next to youThe sun goes down...<br /> Time is on my side<br /> I don't care what they say I'll enjoy the ride<br /> But I get kind of scared when I turn around<br /> So I'll stay with the groove 'til the sun goes downLiving it up<br /> Living it up<br /> I can feel it<br /> Living it up<br /> I got forward motionOoh - watch her dance<br /> There must be one like her in every club in every town<br /> But I don't mind if that the way she wants to be<br /> There's something 'bout her that reminds me of me<br /> She's my soul mate - we'll be together 'til the sun goes downThe sun goes down<br /> Living it up<br /> Living it up<br /> I can feel it<br /> Living it up<br /> I got forward motion<br /> <br /> Songwriters<br /> BADAROU, WALIOU JACQUES / GOULD, PHILIP GABRIEL / KING, MARK N / LINDUP, MICHAEL DAVID NPublished by<br /> Lyrics © Peermusic Publishing, Warner/Chappell Music, Inc., Universal Music Publishing Group Song Discussions is protected by U.S. Patent 9401941.

The Sun Goes Down (Living It Up) - 7" Mix Lyrics


Though I live on the edge time is on my side
All the doors to my life are open wide
Just as long as the wheels keep on turning 'round
I will live for the groove 'til the sun goes downLiving it up, living it up
I can feel it
Living it up
Is it a crazy notion?
Living it up, living it up
I can feel it
Living it up
I got forward motionI don't want to go to war, I don't want to go to war
I said I know what I want and I don`t want to go war - do you follow me?
I saw a soldier standing in a bar
Looked so tired he'd come so far
He said "I need to love someone, before they drop the atom bomb"There's a girl at the back making eyes at me
And her hair long and black is a sight to see
But I get kind of scared when love's around
I just live for the groove 'til the sun goes downLiving it up, living it up

I can feel it
Living it up
Is it a false emotion?
Living it up, living it up
I can feel it
Living it up
I got forward motionSo I'm a-taking you out but I'm a-faking
I'm married to the beat
But to the music I gave the heart I could have given you
Still there's something 'bout the way that you move
And the way that people stare it's the shock of the new
I want my friends to see me standing next to youThe sun goes down...
Time is on my side
I don't care what they say I'll enjoy the ride
But I get kind of scared when I turn around
So I'll stay with the groove 'til the sun goes downLiving it up
Living it up
I can feel it
Living it up
I got forward motionOoh - watch her dance
There must be one like her in every club in every town
But I don't mind if that the way she wants to be
There's something 'bout her that reminds me of me
She's my soul mate - we'll be together 'til the sun goes downThe sun goes down
Living it up
Living it up
I can feel it
Living it up
I got forward motion

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.
