Dave Stewart's second album with the Spiritual Cowboys expanded the musical ideas of their debut, although it was slightly less focused and pop-oriented than its predecessor.

Sara Sytsma - All Music Guide



Second Solo Effort. I remember seeing the video for "Crown Of Madness" in 1991 and anticipating Dave Stewart's new release, but it never came. The truth was that "Honest" was never released in America. Thanks to Amazon for carrying imports. I just bought this cd and must say that it is good, but probably not as good as the previous, 1990 release, "Dave Stewart And The Spiritual Cowboys". "Honest" follows the same musical vein as the former release but to lesser effect. There are still some great songs on "Honest", but I can see why Dave broke up the Spiritual Cowboys after this release and why the record company may have passed on releasing it in America. Dave Stewart doesn't make bad music and "Honest" can attest to this with songs like "Honest", "Whole Wide World", "Crown Of Madness" and "Fool's Paradise". If you are a fan of Dave or Eurythmics you can't miss with this second solo release. This cd was followed by 1994's "Greeting From The Gutter" and 1998's "Slyfi".

HONEST

Now Jerry was no architect
But she sure knew how to put out all the lights
I once watched her walk right
Through a plate glass window
And never even look hack
Now here I am talking about all her good points
I never did think she had any bad
Though friends told me she could be cruel
And vicious
At one time she was the best friend that I had
And I hope she can hear
I hope she feels good
I hope she was the best or everything
And I hope she feels like a million dollars
And I hope she knows I was always honest
Now Jerry was a main-line angel
She never came home at night
She slept where the wind would take her
In her P.V.C thigh length boots
Make-up black and solid
Fingernails bitten by teeth so close
To perfection only marred by
Seven years of obvious fake prescriptions
That were one way or making
Sure that she never saw the daylight
Before wearing her sunglasses over
Breakfast with her Italian girlfriend
In a post blitz kid stupor
Saying "How ya doin', Davy boy"
You know you're such a trooper
And I hope you feel good
And I hope you feel like a million dollars
And I hope you know that I was
Always.... honest


WHOLE WIDE WORLD

Dear father I want you to see me now
Dear father I really wish you could see me now
Love was missing in the whole wide world
Whole wide world
Love was missing in the whole wide world
Whole wide world
Love was missing in the whole wide world
Whole wide world
You were missing in the whole wide world
I've been dreaming in this whole wide world
Been surrounded by the whole wide world
I've been shaking in this whole wide world
Been taken by this whole wide world
Dear Mother I want you to hear me now
Dear Mother I really wish you
Could hear me now
Love was missing in the whole wide world
Whole wide world
Love was missing in the whole wide world
Whole wide world
Love was missing in the whole wide world
Whole wide world
You was missing in the. whole wide world
I was frightened by this whole wide world
I've been hiding from the whole wide world
I was fighting with the whole wide world
I was slipping in the whole wide world
Lost my grip in the whole wide world
I've been tripping in the whole wide world
Oh Brother


CROWN OF MADNESS

My suit is mad. of human hair
My shoes are made of skin
My shirt is made of vaseline
From my knees up to my chin
My jewellery is obscene
But most of all it's fake
My hat is made of solid gold
It's the role I rightfully take
I'm wearing my crown of madness
Yeah a new creation
I'm wearing my crown of madness
Don't ask me to be faithful
Don't ask me to be good
Don't ask me to be generous
I wouldn't if I could
Don't ask me to be impolite
You know I always will
Don't ask me if I'm well
When you know I'm always ill
I'm wearing my crown of madness
Yeah, a new creation
I'm wearing my crown of madness
Don't ask me to be serious
It's serious enough
Don't try to make me understand
Reality and stuff
Don't push me to the limit
Don't stretch your luck too far
I know who I am
Do you know who you are?
Mad mad mad oooh
I'm wearing my crown of madness
Yeah, a new creation
I'm wearing my crown of madness
Mad, mad, mad, mad


OUT OF REACH

Jerry got ready with her boots and furs
Put a wig on her head and stumbled down the stairs
Fell into the back of a limousine
Nobody would have I guessed she was a beauty queen
Out of reach, out of touch, out of time
Out of luck, out of loves, out of her mind
Madame George got played today
She almost forgot she could feel that way
Information coming from north and south
She could barely get the words out of her mouth
Out of reach, out of touch, out of time
Out of luck, out of love, out of her mind
Play the plastic guitar
Now Jerry's on the verge of a major breakthrough
She's gonna stop lying, gonna tell the truth
She made it with a major in the Lincoln Hotel
And nobody knows why she gets treated so well
Out of reach, out of touch, out of lime
Out of luck, out of love, out of her mind


YOU'RE LOST (FOREVER)

You can laugh
You can cry
But you can't look me
Look me in the eye
You're lost forever
You can walk
Yes you can run
But you'll never be number one
You're lost forever
There's a church bell ringing
On a mountain top
You'll never hear it if you don't stop
Big bird flying in a clear blue sky
Don't it make you stop to think
And wonder why...
You may lose
You may win
But I'll never talk to you again
You're lost forever
From my memory
From my memory


FOOLS PARADISE

Life
It flicked like a dying flame
Then before my very eyes you came
And entered our world
And you were born a king
It's too late
Welcome to paradise
It's too late
Yes you were born a king
It's loo late
Welcome to paradise
It's too late
Life
A million things for you to learn
But one by one those pages turn
Like history itself
But you were born a king
Your pale blue eyes and velvet skin
Fingertips and sideways grin
No photograph or microphone
Could capture your elusive tone
No waterfall or running stream
Could be so pure as your daydream
No china doll or crystal sphere
Comes close to you, my child so dear
In you I have a glimpse of faith
A love affair with outer space
A foothold on a mountain top
A passion there that never stops
No magazines radio or late night
TV monster show
Could entertain me more than you
I want you to know
That you were born a king
Welcome to paradise
Yes you were born a king
Welcome to paradise


MOTORCYCLE MYSTICS

Ridin' through the rain
On a shimmering street
Buddah on the back seat
Electroglide elite
Spinning through the city
In a fat boy trance
We're makin' our way
In the monkey god dance
Here we come now
Motorcycle mystics
You won't be disappointed now
Motorcycle mystics
You won't be disappointed now
Motorcycle mystics
You won't be disappointed now
God made us to be angry
God made us to be sweet
God made us to be faithful
To the long and twisted street
God made us to be mystical
Dark and leather hound
God made us to he powerful
Powerful as this sound
Here we come now
Motorcycle mystics
You won't be disappointed now
Motorcycle mystics
You won't be disappointed now
Motorcycle mystics
You won't be disappointed now


IMPOSSIBLE

I've got a habits I know
Of picking on your faults
It fakes a lot to make you mad
But if I tried I'm sure I would
And if my Sunday gets too dull
Would you allow me to be
Awful, I mean miserable, impossible ?
That's what friends are for
I've noticed just by watching other people
While they're talking to each other
Since this party started
I've been feeling pretty shaky
Like a fish out of cold water
In a glass of coca cola


HERE WE GO AGAIN

I once knew a pony
Whose name was Survival
He died in the winter of a happy revolution
There were militant marches
Over his dead body
Children were crying and begging for mercy
One
Here we go again
Two
Here we go again
We're all gonna be history
Three
Here we go again
She's turning and turning, our American Sister
Hands full of arrows and paperback bibles
Like a boxing hero
She stands in the ashes
The voice of Martin Luther
Through the radio flashes
One
Here we go again
Two
Here we go again
We're all gonna be history
Three
Here we go again
Oh here we go again
Black snow in the fields again
But tell me where is the friendship train?
It's been a long time coming
I once knew a pony
Name was religion
Head full of hatred and misguided morals
He was blinded from reading
Worn out and bleeding
But he'll never give in, no
Till the day he stops breathing
Devil in the kitchen and the clock strikes nine
His words are spoken in a voice sublime
Apocalypse then and misery now
Nothing you do is going to work anyhow boy
One
Here we go again
Two
Here we go again
We're all gonna be history
Three
Here we go again


HERE SHE COMES

Here she comes, that girl with the sacred heart
Pickin' all the flowers from the cemetery park
I didn't know anybody could be so dark as her
Here she comes that girl with the vampire grin
Looking for a victim to take her in
Brothers in bloods sisters in sin love her
She said
I want you
I want you
Cause Baby with you
I can he so free
I can be so free
Here she comes that girl with the bloodstained dress
Shot gun humour laden acid test
You could tell by her lips
She could eat the rest just like that
Here she comes that girl with the wicked smile
Beatin' on a pony up a crooked mile
You should see her listen to voodoo child on her back
She said
I want you
I want you
Cause Baby with you
I can be so free
I can be so free
I can be so free
I can be so free
I want you to take me there
Cast a spell with your long black hair
If I never wake up for a million years
I wouldn't care, when I'm with you
I can be so free
I can be so free
I can be so free
I can be so free


FADE AWAY

Everything you are you've been once before
Everything you hear you've heard it once or more
Everything you see you've seen it all before
Everything you dream leads to that open door
Don't wait so long
Turn the key before you fade away
Don't wait so long
Turn the key before you fade away
Everyone you love you could have loved them more
Everyone you touch you could touch to the core
Every time you wait it's not worth waiting for
Everyone you lost you better find them all
Don't wait so long
Find them all before they fade away
Don't wait so long
Find them all before they fade away
I know you live in isolation
So you don't have to pretend
That you could live alone forever
And be your own best friend
Here comes the writing on the wall
And it looks so strange
Like a primitive sign
Don't you ever feel that you're so small
Like a grain of sand in a bottle or wine
Don't wait so long
You know I'll always love you
Don't wait so long
You know I'll always love you


CAT WITH A TALE

Three thirty on a sick summer's day
I round myself staring at a Newcastle bus stop
A total stranger in a herringbone suit
Asked me the time through his cigarette lighter
Fifteen years later on a Wednesday night
l round myself dreaming in a Manchester night-club
A total stranger in a luminous tracksuit
Gives me a kiss and he tastes of aluminium
Then he's gone
And in his place a cat with green eyes
A cat with no tall at all
Just a very sad expression on his race
Mandarin quotes on a wrought iron gate
I'm ringing the doorbell, but the petrol keeps leaking
A total stranger in a cashmere coat
Tells me politely, "Your wife is on fire"
A family outing at the Gosforth Park Hotel
The girl in the kitchen is working a job scheme
l told my wife I'm sure I've seen her before
She told me I kissed her al a Newcastle bus stop
Then I was gone
And in my place a cat with green eyes
A cat with a tale to tell


R.U. SATISFIED

Show me an honest man
Show me an honest man
I'll show you a woman at ease
I'll show you a woman at ease
Our life could be...
Are you satisfied?
Our life could be...
Are you satisfied?
Show me an innocent girl
Show me an innocent girl
I'll show you a man of peace
Our life could be...
Are you satisfied?
Our life could be...
Are you satisfied?
Show me a wicked child
I'll show you a lack of love
Our life could be...
Are you satisfied?
Our life could be...
Are you satisfied?
Our life could be...
Are you satisfied?
Our life could be...
Are you satisfied?
Our life could be...
Are you satisfied?
Our life could be...
Are you satisfied?
Show me the fear or God
