Biography

UK early '80's Synth-pop group fronted originally by Limahl on lead vocals with Nick Beggs on bass guitar and additional vocals, Steve Askew on E bow and guitar, Stuart Croxford Neale on synths and additional vocals and Jez Strode drums and electronic programming. After releasing three hit singles and one hit album during the first half of 1983, Limahl was fired from the group in early August 1983 for creative differences. He then pursued a solo career. Nick Beggs took over lead vocal duties and the group released another album (they were now known as simply Kaja in North America with this release). After Jez Strode left the group before the recording of their last album, they officially shortened their name to Kaja, releasing one more album under this moniker. October 2003 saw the original 5 members briefly reunite as part of the VH1 'Bands Reunited' TV series, in which they performed a 1-off special show. Nick, Steve and Stuart have since remained in Kajagoogoo. Limahl and Jez joined the band again in February 2008.

LYRICS

See my face you know where I've been - walking in jungle
Cruising down boulevard part of the race taking a tumble
Love in that stranger still fearing that danger
Still crying in some avenue and soon the hate will be there too
CHORUS
Life in the big apple moves very fast and so must you
Do like the others do and don't you drag your heels
Life in the big apple moves very fast

Cops on route are hot in pursuit as windows are shattered
Cafe and arcade are teeming with loot the sidewalks are scattered
Walking down highways just seeing things my way
While dealer man enjoys his wealth you spare the rope he'll hang
himself

CHORUS
Life in the big apple moves very fast and so must you
Do like the others do and don't you drag your heels
Life in the big apple moves very fast
