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

Loving is to live with the power to forgive
Loving is to live with the power to forgive
Lead me, show me, where can it be found.
Reach me, hold me, don't ever let me down.
Tell me what you've seen
I know the story
Tell me what you mean
Maybe or surely.
Tell me what you've seen
The crimson fell like rain

Should I even try?
Whatever befalls me
Living out a lie?
I believe in glory
Should I even try?
Until it comes again.

CHORUS

Forgiveness you're the key, you're no fool that died for me
I'm real sorry though, I simply could not see
Forgiveness you're the key, you're no fool that died for me
Forgiveness is forgiving endlessly
Reach me, show me, where can it be found
Teach me, grow with me, don't ever let me down.

Tell me what you've seen
Every day I fail him
Tell me what you mean
As I bang another nail in
Tell me what you've seen
Living my life the same
Should I even try
Paying the debt back
Living out a lie?
Been a long time sidetracked
Should I even try
Until it comes again

CHORUS

Forgiveness you're the key, you're no fool that died for me
I'm real sorry though, I simply could not see
Forgiveness you're the key, you're no fool that died for me
Forgiveness is forgiving endlessly
