About New Song
"New Song" is the debut single by musician Howard Jones, released in September 1983. The single reached number three on the UK Singles Chart. The single spent 20 weeks on the Top 75. In the US, "New Song" peaked at #27 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, although it was not released there until early 1984. The track later appeared on Jones' debut album Human's Lib. The single's B-side was titled "Change the Man". The twelve-inch single featured an extended version of "New Song" together with "Change the Man" and the original studio version of "Conditioning", which would be re-recorded for Human's Lib. "New Song" itself was later re-recorded for The 12" Album, in a version denoted "New Version". This featured a lot of multi-layered piano, in contrast to the austere synthesizer sound of the original seven and twelve-inch versions. Equipment used for the song includes a Roland Juno-60 synthesizer, Moog Memorymoog synthesizer, and an E-mu Drumulator drum machine. On the UK seven-inch single, the song's lyric is printed in a spiral on the A-side label, with all the credits printed on the B-side. more »

Howard Jones
Howard Jones (born John Howard Jones, 23 February 1955, Southampton, Hampshire, England) is a British musician, singer and songwriter. 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 »

Challenge we can see the tears.
Challenging preconceived ideas
Don't crack up. Man child brain.
Don't crack up. Bend your brain.
Don't crack up
Bash your brain.
Don't crack up
Bend your brain.
Don't cry cop.
Don't crack up.
Don’t cry, God
Don’t crack up
Dump
the fool, I want you to see
Dump the fool, I want you here
Don't be fooled by what you see
Don't be fooled by what you hear
Fundamental change
Throw off your mental chains.
Girls eventually change.
Throw off your mental chains.
Grow on your man to train
Throw off your mental chains
I don't wanna be Hip-Man-Doo.
I don't wanna be hip and cool.
Laid down by the zoo crew.
Laden down by the doom crew.
New lamps for old, new lamps for old.
New lines for old, new lines for old.
Oh, lay me down 'cause you're too cruel.
Or laden down by the doom crew.
Say goodbye to non-standard fears.
Say goodbye to long-standing fears.
See the sights
Throw off your men to chase.
See both sides
Throw off your mental chains.
Throw off your Marshall Chaise.
Throw off your mental chains.
Throw off your mad jewel chaise
or
Throw off your mantelpiece
or
Throw off your magic chains
or
Throw off your module chaise
or
Throw off your madrigal fray.
Throw off your mental chains.
Throw off your man to train.
Throw off your mental chains.
Throw off your manta rays.
Throw off your mental chains.
Throw off your mantel chains.
Throw off your mental chains.
Throw off your mantlepiece.
Throw off your mental chains.
Throw off your master's chains
or
Throw off your mantle chase
or
Throw off your masquerade
or
Throw off your masquerade
Throw off your mental chains
Throw off your menstrual pains.
Throw off your mental chains.
