Adam Ant (born Stuart Leslie Goddard; 3 November 1954) is an English singer and musician. He gained popularity as the lead singer of post-punk group Adam and the Ants and later as a solo artist, scoring 10 UK top ten hits from 1980 to 1983, including three No. 1s. He has also worked as an actor, appearing in over two dozen films and television episodes from 1985 to 2003.
Since 2010, Ant has undertaken an intensive reactivation of his musical career, performing live regularly in his hometown of London and beyond, recording and releasing a new album and with three full-length UK national tours, two US national tours and a short Australian tour all now completed.
Childhood and early life
Stuart Goddard was born an only child, in Marylebone, London. Concern for oppressed minorities—one of the themes he used in his later work—was part of his heritage; he is of partial Romani descent. His maternal grandfather, Walter Albany Smith, was Romanichal. Home was two rooms in De Walden buildings, St John's Wood. He recalls: "There was no luxury, but there was always food on the table." His father, Leslie Goddard, had served in the Royal Air Force and worked as a chauffeur and his mother, Betty Kathleen Smith, was an embroiderer for Norman Hartnell.
Adam
Adam (Hebrew: אָדָם; Aramaic/Syriac: ܐܕܡ; Arabic: آدم) is a figure from the Book of Genesis who is also mentioned in the New Testament, the deuterocanonical books, the Quran, the Book of Mormon, and the Book of Iqan. According to the creation myth of the Abrahamic religions, he was the first human.
In the Genesis creation narratives, he was created by Yahweh-Elohim ("Yahweh-God", the god of Israel), though the term "adam" can refer to both the first individual person, as well as to the general creation of humankind. Christian churches differ on how they view Adam's subsequent behavior of disobeying God (often called the Fall of man), and to the consequences that those actions had on the rest of humanity. Christian and Jewish teachings sometimes hold Adam and Eve (the first woman) to a different level of responsibility for the Fall, though Islamic teaching holds both equally responsible. In addition, Islam holds that Adam was eventually forgiven, while Christianity holds that redemption occurred only later through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The Bahá'í Faith, Islam and some Christian denominations consider Adam to be the first prophet.

Headgear
Give me a hope
To be alone
I want arms around
I want arms around
It'll be all right
You can be sure
Don't crease that perfect cote d'azure
Soul Pirate, drifting in a sea of bliss (oh)
Soul Pirate, get your Headgear around this (wooawoo wooawoo wooawoo-oh)
Don't close the door
Into your heart
I want arms around
I want arms around
If what you want, aint what you get.. intoxicating silhouette
Soul Pirate, drifting in a sea of bliss (oh)
Soul Pirate, get your Headgear around this (wooawoo wooawoo wooawoo-oh)
So all you grieve, 'cause your own hope and exile
Will emphasise your livewire
Sophisticated, daring it balances what you're wearing
The likes of you, a Brummel, we will not see again
To polish the soles of your shoes with bouvac and champagne
You let her go three whole times
I want arms around
I want arms around
Just be yourself, embodied Empresses
Just wave that spangled wand of yours and glamour is!
Soul Pirate, drifting in a sea of bliss (oh)
Soul Pirate, get your Headgear around this (wooawoo wooawoo wooawoo-oh)
Get you headgear around this
Get you headgear around this
Get you headgear around this (wooawoo wooawoo wooawoo-oh)
