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

Off shore, it's either sink or swim
I saw, what kind of boat I'm in
Much more, although I can't forget you,
The light is growing dim
Feet are falling on foreign ground
Luck in short supply
I feel like Crusoe before him found
All gone pass me by
I walk on beach, I sleep on sand, I walk in water
Salty sea, got a hold on me
Daylight come, be it now or never

Chorus

Lost on some horizon
No man is an Island
No man is an Island
No man is an Island

Jackdaw, he don't bother me
Wild boar, he keep me company
Panther, my only consolation in my calamity
Lady Luck or Lady Death must pass this shore some day
I hope she's coming, I ain't seen her yet
Come to take my soul away
Light my fire on top of hill
So all the ships can see that I'm a prisoner here

Chorus

Lost on some horizon, no man is an Island
Banished here to prolong my silence
No man is an Island
No man is an Island
No man is an Island
