Howard Jones - Why Look For The Key [Live]

So this is a song called "Why Look For The Key"

And they made the secret pact
His knowledge would be tapped
The link was based on a respect
On their lives they would reflect
A perfect state of non-attachment
Was striven for and claimed as fact
The younger grew and learnt his lesson well
All his ideals were intact

Why look for the key in another?
The answer lay in his own heart
Won't find yourself in some other
It always was there right at the start

But power it corrupted
That's where attachment starts
The power had erupted
Ooh, the spell will crack
As each mental bond was broken
The strength grew in the young man's heart
What began as love, not passion
Had left a seed in his heart

Why look for the key in another?
The answer lay in his own heart
Won't find yourself in some other
It always was there right at the start

Why look for the key in another?
The answer lay in his own heart
Won't find yourself in some other
It always was there right at the start

Why look for the key in another?
Won't find yourself in some other
Why look for the key in another?
Won't find yourself in some other, yeah
Why look for the key in another?

Thank you, thank you so much
So here's a song now, I mean, on, um, putting all this show together is like
Reflecting on, you know, what my state of mind was, um, you know, in those, nearly thirty years ago
