Matchbox & Kirsty MacColl - I want out 1983

Matchbox & Kirsty MacColl - I want out 1983

Kirsty Anna MacColl (10 October 1959 -- 18 December 2000)
was an English singer-songwriter.

Well I'm no cold hearted Jezebel
I've been doing my best to love you well
I've done my best to play the part
And kill this drifter in my heart

But it's killing me not to go down to the city
When I've got to satisfy you
Well I'm living a lie and I know it's a pity
But I want out, I've gotta get away from you
I want out, I've gotta get away from you

Now I feel young and fancy free
And the city lights are calling me
I'm tired of living in this shell
When I break out I'm gonna do it well

But it's killing me not to go down to the city
When I've got to satisfy you
Well I'm living a lie and I know it's a pity
But I want out, I've gotta get away from you
I want out, I've gotta get away from you

(Instrumental)

Well I'm no cold hearted Jezebel
I've been doing my best to love you well
I've done my best to play the part
And kill this drifter in my heart

But it's killing me not to go down to the city
When I've got to satisfy you
Well I'm living a lie and I know it's a pity
But I want out, I've gotta get away from you

I want out, I've gotta get away from you
I want out, I've gotta get away from you
I want out, I've gotta get away from you
I want out, I've gotta get away from you
I want out, I've gotta get away from you
I want out, I've gotta get away from you
I want out, I've gotta get away from you
I want out, I've gotta get away from you
I want out, I've gotta get away from you

Kirsty did it all... tradional Irish rebel, working class english fun... whats the big surprise about her crossing over Country on her way? Legend!

[swh1967]

Never seen this one before. I had forgotten that Kirsty guested on this song. I have always dismissed the 'Crossed Line' album as not being the real Matchbox but I really like this!!! I will have to dust off my old vinyl copy and give it another chance (30 years on!) Not sure about Graham's beard though. Kirsty looks and sounds gr8 in this.What a talent. What a loss. May the Lord be good to her.

Is this German -TV ARD-"Musikladen" , January 1983..?

I remember it...

Missed Steve Boomfield/Fred Poke

since January 1982...(24 Hours)

Without them, Matchbox never made the charts again...
