Nik Kershaw - Dangerous Eyes

Copied!

She has office girl hair that she wears in a bun
And her confident air doesn’t fool anyone
With her curious walk neither clumsy or svelte
And a mouth where the bravest of butter would never dare melt

But her dangerous eyes could get you in trouble
Could make you do something you might regret
Her dangerous eyes could make you see double
Could make you see God for a second, I bet

Well she’s wider than some (if I can be graphic)
With a generous bum that wouldn’t stop traffic
Her functional fingers, not exactly petite
And you wouldn’t get anyone queuing to fall at those feet

But her dangerous eyes could get you in trouble
Could make you do something you might regret
Her dangerous eyes could make you see double
Could make you see God for a second, I bet

You’ll say when you’ve seen her
She’s no Angelina
She’ll never make you lose your cool
But I know when she flashes
Those Medusa lashes
You’ll just be one more fool

You fool

And her schoolteacher voice wouldn’t deign to entice
And her ever so sensible dresses wouldn’t make you look twice

But her dangerous eyes could get me in trouble
Could make me do something I might regret
Her dangerous eyes could well burst my bubble
Could make me see God for a second

Well her dangerous eyes could get you in trouble
Could make you do something you might regret
Her dangerous eyes could make you see double
Could make you see God for a second, I bet

Biography

edit bio

Kershaw was born on 1 March 1958 in Bristol, England, and grew up in Ipswich, Suffolk.

His father was a flautist and his mother was an opera singer. He was educated at Northgate Grammar School for Boys where he played the guitar – he was self-taught on this instrument.

He left school in the middle of his A-levels and got a job at an unemployment benefit office. He also sang in a number of underground Ipswich bands. However, when the last of these, Fusion, split up in 1982, he embarked on a full-time solo career as a musician and songwriter.

Kershaw came to prominence in 1984 as a solo artist. He released eight singles that entered the Top 40 charts in the UK during the decade, including “Wouldn’t It Be Good”, “Dancing Girls”, “I Won’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me”, “Human Racing”, “The Riddle”, “Wide Boy”, “Don Quixote” and “When a Heart Beats”. His 62 weeks on the UK Singles Chart through 1984 and 1985 beat all other solo artists.

Kershaw appeared at the dual-venue concert Live Aid in 1985 and has also penned a number of hits for other artists, including a UK No. 1 single in 1991 for Chesney Hawkes, “The One and Only”. Elton John has regarded Kershaw as the ‘Best’ Songwriter of a Generation.

Kershaw’s first wife was Canadian Sheri Kershaw, herself a musician who featured on several of Kershaw’s early albums. The couple married in July 1983, had three children together, and divorced in 2003. His second son was born with Down syndrome. Kershaw remarried in 2009 and has also had a child with his second wife Sarah.

In 2019, Kershaw received an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Suffolk for his services to the music industry.
