Joe Jackson(born August 11, 1954 in Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire, as David Ian Jackson) is a British musician. Jackson is probably best-known for the 1982 hit song Steppin' Out, which still gets extensive FM radio airplay, and for his 1979 hit, Is She Really Going Out with Him? Although born in Staffordshire, Jackson grew up in Portsmouth, Hampshire, England. He started off learning to play the violin but soon switched to piano. From the age of 16 he played in bars, and won a scholarship to study musical composition at London's Royal Academy of Music. Jackson did not like the prospect of being a serious composer, and moved towards pop and rock.

Joe Jackson

You know i'm just a small town girl
I'm off to see the whole wide world
I'm off to see the wizard too
Do every thing that dorothy won't do

I know i should have stayed at home tonight
There's nothing happening but something might
It's like a whirlpool and i get sucked in
Go round and round and back where i began

This town is my town, my town
I'm through with their town
This town is my town, my town
This town's a fairground
One-two-three go!
One-two-three go!

I like the candyfloss and all the rides
And feeling inside out in my insides
I guess i'm fucking nearly everyone
Sometimes i wonder if i'll ever come

This town is my town, my town
I'm through with their town
This town is my town, my town
This town's a fairground
One-two-three go!
One-two-three go!
