Joe Jackson

Joe Jackson (born David Ian Jackson, 11 August 1954) is an English musician and singer-songwriter now living in Berlin, whose five Grammy Award nominations span from 1979 to 2001. He is probably best known for the 1979 hit song and first single "Is She Really Going Out with Him?", which still gets extensive US FM radio airplay; for his 1982 hit, "Steppin' Out"; and for his 1984 success with "You Can't Get What You Want (Till You Know What You Want)". He was popular for his pop/rock and New Wave music early on before moving to more eclectic, though less commercially successful, pop/jazz/classical hybrids. more »

In distant lands
There's no such luxury
You'd give your hand
In pre-arranged matrimony

You'd wear the veil
I'd sit in some cafe somewhere
Instead of this running around
And this right to be free

So pleased with ourselves but there's one thing I've found
About you and me
We can't live together
But we can't stay apart

In all my dreams
I've wanted someone like you
With no extremes
We'd both do what we have to do

But it's too easy, and then it's too hard
And passion gives us away
We know when to play the right cards
But we never know what to say

And we can't live together
But we can't stay apart

Why can't you be more like me
Or me like you
And why can't one and one
Just add to two

But we can't live together
And we can't stay apart
