According to the Guinness Book of British Hit Singles & Albums, "Jones is an accomplished singer-songwriter who was a regular chart visitor in the mid 1980s with his brand of synthpop. Jones, who was equally popular in the U.S., appeared at Live Aid".Allmusic journalist, Stephen Thomas Erlewine adds, "Jones was one of the defining figures of mid 1980s synthpop. His music merged the technology intensive sound of New Wave with the cheery optimism of hippies and late 1960s pop. Jones racked up a string of hits in the mid and late 1980s, before he retreated into being a cult figure in the 1990s". more »

If you find a time when things just seem to fall apart
And there's no way to keep a cheery face
When the sight of your own reflection only breaks your heart
And all your dreams have given up the chase

Pick up the telephone
You know I'm always home
Any old time of night or day
Let me be the first to know
Let me be the first to know
Let me be the first to know

If you find a time when you just have to walk away
Because of a call to pastures new
You're in need of some fresh words to wish you on your way
You need to fly on up and touch the moon

Sharing this temporary weight
No time to hesitate
I will be everything you need
Let me be the first to know
Let me be the first to know
Let me be the first to know
Let me be the first ...

We're water breaking on an endless wave
Potential bursting from the sea
Compassion is what sets our minds apart
Be cheerful when you break
The chains of morality

Oo, sharing this welcome weight
Don't even hesitate
I will be everything you need
Let me be the first to know
Let me be the first to know
Let me be the first to know
Let me be the first to know
Let me be the first one to know
