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.

Friday Lyrics

Joe Jackson

Lazy gilly was a flower child
All the summer
Calmly running wild
Shed be silly and her friends just smiled
Pass the bottle
Wash the pills down - what went wrong
What went wrong
She dont care no more
She dont need to fight it
She dont care no more
She gets paid on friday
Cooler weather its not cool to smile |
Pretty colours
Going out of style
It aint so bad when you get used to it
Once you clock in
Youll take any shit - all right
Aint that right
She dont care no more
She dont need to fight it
She dont care no more
She gets paid on friday
Monday morning
Fridays far away
Pray youll make it
Its a magic day
Bells will ring and youll go out to play
Spend your money
Pass the bottle
Friday rules
Friday rules ok
Aint talking bout monday
Aint talking bout tuesday
Aint talking bout wednesday
Aint talking bout thursday
I m talking bout . . .
She dont care no more
She dont need to fight it
She dont care no more
She gets paid on friday
She gets paid on friday, friday, friday . . .
