Tony Hadley (born 2 June 1960) is an English pop singer-songwriter, occasional stage actor and radio presenter who gained celebrity as the lead vocalist for the 1980s band Spandau Ballet.
Anthony Patrick Hadley, the eldest of three children (he has a sister, Lee, and a brother, Steve) was born at Royal Free Hospital in the Hampstead area of Inner London. Originally intending to pursue a medical career, he decided to join friends in their band.
The group disbanded in 1989, after their final studio album, Heart Like a Sky, failed to live up to the critical and commercial success of their earlier albums, such as True and Parade. In fact, Heart Like a Sky was not even released in the United States. In April 1999, Hadley along with fellow band members Steve Norman and John Keeble failed in their attempt to sue Gary Kemp for a share of his royalties, as the band's principal songwriter. However, in recent years Norman is again on good terms with Gary and his brother, Martin Kemp, who used to play bass guitar in the band. In early 2009, newspaper reports claimed that Spandau Ballet was set to reform later that year. On 25 March 2009 it was confirmed that the band had reformed and were embarking on a tour of the UK and Ireland in October 2009.
Gary Kemp (born 16 October 1959) is an English pop musician and actor who is the guitar player and chief songwriter for the 1980s Synthpop band Spandau Ballet. His brother, Martin Kemp, plays bass guitar in the band. Gary Kemp also provided backing vocals on many of the tracks to lead singer Tony Hadley.
Kemp was born in St Bartholomew's Hospital, Smithfield, London, and grew up in Islington, London, in a working-class family. He attended Rotherfield Junior School and Dame Alice Owen's school, Islington, as well as the Anna Scher Children’s Theatre drama club, along with his brother, Martin. In 1968 he began appearing in TV and film, including a role in the 1972 film Hide & Seek, alongside Roy Dotrice.
Kemp eventually decided to concentrate on a career in music and, in the late Seventies, he formed a band called The Gentry with school friends. The Gentry was later renamed Spandau Ballet.
After recording Spandau Ballet's final album, Heart Like A Sky, Kemp and his brother returned to acting. He won the contempt of his fellow band members, Tony Hadley, Steve Norman and John Keeble, but good reviews for his performance as Ronnie Kray in The Krays (1990). Making this film was the death-knell to Spandau Ballet.
I would have given you all of my heart
But there's someone who's torn it apart
And she's taken just all that I have
But if you want, I'll try to love again
Now, baby, I'll try to love again, but I know
The first cut is the deepest
Baby, I know the first cut is the deepest
When it comes to being lucky, she's cursed
And when it comes to loving me, man, she's worse
I still want you by my side
Just to have you dry the tears that I cried
And I'm sure gonna give you a try
And if you want, I'll try to love again
Baby, I'll try to love again, but I know
The first cut is the deepest
Baby, I know the first cut is the deepest
When it comes to being lucky, she's cursed
And when it comes to loving me, man, she's worse
The first cut is the deepest
Baby, I know the first cut is the deepest
When it comes to being lucky, she's cursed
And when it comes to loving me, man, she's worse, she's worse
The first cut is the deepest
Baby, I know the first cut is the deepest
When it comes to being lucky, she's cursed
And when it comes to loving me, loving me, she's worse
It's the deepest
Baby, I know
I'll try to love again
When I was small, and christmas trees were tall,
We used to love while others used to play.
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by,
Some one else moved in from far away.
Now we are tall, and Christmas trees are small,
And you don't ask the time of day.
But you and I, our love will never die,
But guess well cry come first of may.
The apple tree that grew for you and me,
I watched the apples falling one by one.
And I recall the moment of them all,
The day I kissed your cheek and you were mine.
Now we are tall, and Christmas trees are small,
And you don't ask the time of day.
But you and I, our love will never die,
But guess well cry come first of may.
When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall,
Do do do do do do do do do...
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by,
You better love loving, and you better behave
You better love loving, and you better behave
Woman in chains
Woman in chains
Calls her man the great white hope
Says she's fine, she'll always cope
Woman in chains
Woman in chains
Well, I feel lying and waiting is a poor man's deal
And I feel hopelessly weighed down by your eyes of steel
Well, it's a world gone crazy
Keeps woman in chains
Trades her soul as skin and bone
Sells the only thing she owns
Woman in chains
Woman in chains
Men of stone
Men of stone
Well, I feel deep in your heart there are wounds time can't heal
And I feel somebody somewhere is trying to breathe
Well, you know what I mean
It's a world gone crazy
Keeps woman in chains
It's under my skin but out of my hands
I'll tear it apart, but I won't understand
I will not accept the greatness of man
It's a world gone crazy
Keeps woman in chains
So free her
So free her
So free her
So free her
So free her
So free her
So free her
So free her
Everybody's high on consolation
Everybody's trying to tell me what's right for me
My daddy tried to bore me with a sermon
but it's plain to see that they can't comfort me
Sorry Charlie for the imposition
I think I've got it, got the strength to carry on
I need a drink and a quick decision
Now it's up to me, ooh what will be
Chorus:
She's Gone Oh I, Oh I'd
better learn how to face it
She's Gone Oh I, Oh I'd
pay the devil to replace her
She's Gone - what went wrong
Up in the morning look in the mirror
I'm worn as her tooth brush hanging in the stand
my face ain't looking any younger
now I can see love's taken her toll on me
She's Gone
Think I'll spend eternity in the city
let the carbon and monoxide choke my thoughts away
and pretty bodies help dissolve the memories
but they can never be what she was to me
Your promises are perfect
Your courage makes so strong
Holding on to something
How can this dream be wrong, oh
When you trust somebody
And all the thoughts they hold
Through good or bad you follow
Cause of the love you show
Oh it must be there for love
You know it must be there for love
After all this time
I can see the world so clearly
After all this time
After all this time
After all this time
Where ever life can take us
Whatever road you try
No matter what the reason
We're always by your side, oh
You felt the world against you
And you know we feel it too
But now we come together
Our spirit pulls us through
Oh it must be there for love
You know it must be there for love
After all this time
I can see the world so clearly
After all this time
After all this time
After all this time
Oh you know they say
That faith can save the day
And so it must be there for love
It must be there for love
And though you feel her pain
There's nothing you can say
But I'll still be there for love
I'll still be there for love
Must be there for love
After all this time
After all this time
After all this time
After all this time
After all this time
I can see the world so clearly
After all this time
After all this time
Beneath the flying stars
My seven-sorrowed heart
Was rolling dice with destiny
We played for state of mind
I lost of course and find
That half of you is half of me
Oh what can I do
What can I do when I look at you
Cos when I look at you
I'm lost
I'm lost with my heart up in flame
With a head of clouds
As I call out your name
Won't quit when the going gets rough
Only a small step from heaven
Lost in your love
Across the darking world
The conversations turn
To dreams and streams that join and flow
On a shoreline hand in hand
Seems the more I understand
The less I really need to know
I don't need to know
Just let it breathe and let it grow
And as I watch it grow
I'm lost
I'm lost with my heart up in flame
With a head of clouds
As I call out your name
(I've) been round said enough is enough
Now I'm one small step from heaven
Lost in your love
But it hurts a little baby
See it's getting to me now
All this breaking down of walls
All this shaking of the tree
All in the name of liberty
I'm lost
I'm lost with my heart up in flame
With a head of clouds
As I call out your name
(Won't quit when the going gets rough)
Now I'm one small step from heaven
You saw me standing by the wall, corner of a main street
And the lights are flashing on your window sill
All alone aint much fun so youre looking for the thrill
And you know just what it takes and where to go.
Dont save a prayer for me now.
Save it til the morning after
No dont say a prayer for me now.
Save it til the morning after
Feel the breeze deep on the inside look down into the well
If you can youll see the world in all his fire
Take a chance (like all dreamers cant find another way.)
You dont have to dream it all, just live a day.
(chorus)
Save it til the morning after
Save it til the morning after
Save it til the morning after....
Pretty looking road I try to hold the rising floods that fill my skin
Dont ask me why Ill keep my promise Ill melt the ice
And you wanted to dance, so I asked you to dance
But fear is in your soul,
Some people call it a one night stand, but we can call it paradise
(chorus)
Save it til the morning after
Save it til the morning after
Save it til the morning after
Save it til the morning after
Do do do do do, do do do do do do do do
Save a prayer til the morning after...
Save a prayer til the morning after...
Save a prayer til the morning after,
Tell her I'll be waiting
In the usual place
With the tired and weary
And there's no escape
To need a woman
You've got to know
How the strong get weak
And the rich get poor
Slave to love
Slave to love
You're running with me
Don't touch the ground
We're restless hearted
Not the chained and bound
The sky is burning
A sea of flame
Though your world is changing
I will be the same
Slave to love
Slave to love
Slave to love
Slave to love
And I can't escape
I'm a slave to love
The storm is breaking
Or so it seems
We're too young to reason
Too grown up to dream
Now spring is turning
Your face to mine
I can hear your laughter
I can see your smile
Slave to love
Slave to love
And I can't escape
I'm a slave to love
Slave to love
Slave to love
And I can't escape
I'm a slave to love
Slave to love
And I can't escape
I'm a slave to love
Slave to love
And I can't escape
I'm a slave to love
Slave to love
And I can't escape
