Biography

Born April 11, 1966 in Rochdale, Lancashire, United Kingdom. British female vocalist whose 1989 debut album 'Affection' spawned pop and club hits such as 'All Around The World' and 'People Hold On'. 1991's 'Real Love' was another success. The singer enjoyed success on the British pop charts as well as the U.S. R&B charts well into the nineties, scoring a #1 hit on the latter with 'All Woman' and continues to record and perform well beyond the millennium. The career of Stansfield starts already in 1980, in the then successful TV casting show "Search for a Star". She wins the show's contest and starts her career as singer and TV presenter in the age of 14. In her TV show "Razzmtazz", she meets other young stars, for instance the young [a721977]. After problems to stay on the ground due to this early success, she quits the TV show and founds her first band [a131788] together with schoolmates [a49715] and [a1191285]. The band did not manage to be successful and splits up in 1988. But her former bandmates continue to work as producers and songwriters in production studios. They meet [a946] in a collaboration and by chance, the UK electronic duo connects with Lisa as a feature vocalist. This leads in consequence to her successful solo career, which is accompanied by the production and songwriting activity by her two former bandmates for her solo work. Andy leaves the trio around 1993. [a49715], who is in relationship with Lisa for the last years, marries her in 1998. She is married to schoolmate [a49715], with who she recorded her first demo tape.

LYRICS

Never mind the stars in the sky
Never mind the when and the why
Got a feeling higher than high
This is the real thing
No more living in shame
And I'm not gonna run or gonna hide away
No more telling all those lies
It's been too long

No more living in chains
No, I don't give a damn whet the people say
There's no use holding back desire
We've burnt our fingers now lets jump into the flames

Chorus:
Never mind the stars in the sky
Never mind the when and the why
Got a feeling higher than high
This is the real thing
Never mind the rain and the storm
We'll keep each other warm
We got something stronger than strong
This is the real thing

Gonna walk out hand in hand
So let them criticise 'cos they don't understand
We've got nothing to hide
It's just love

I've had enough of shy
So let's go out and show them what we have inside
There's no use holding back desire
We've burnt our fingers now let's jump into tho fire

(Chorus)

Never mind the stars in the sky baby
Never mind the when and the why baby
Never mind the stars in the sky baby
'Cos I've got a feeling that's higher than high

Oh, what you do to me, baby
Oh, what you do to me, baby

This is the real thing

(Chorus)

Never mind the stars in the sky baby
Never mind the when and the why baby
Never mind the stars in the sky baby
'Cos I've got a feeling that's higher than high
Oh, what you do to me, baby
Oh, what you do to me, baby

This is the real thing

(Chorus)

Never mind the stars in the sky baby
Never mind the when and the why baby
Never mind the stars in the sky baby
'Cos I've got a feeling that's higher than high

(Chorus)

(Chorus)
