Spandau Ballet - True Lyrics
Official




Huh huh huh hu-uh huh
+
Huh huh huh hu-uh huh
+
So true, funny how it seems
+
Always in time, but never in line for dreams
+
Head over heels when toe to toe
+
This is the sound of my soul
+
This is the sound
+
I bought a ticket to the world
+
But now I've come back again
+
Why do I find it hard to write the next line?
+
Oh I want the truth to be said
+
Huh huh huh hu-uh huh
+
I know this much is true
+
Huh huh huh hu-uh huh
+
I know this much is true
+
With a thrill in my head and a pill on my tongue
+
Dissolve the nerves that have just begun
+
Listening to Marvin (all night long)
+
This is the sound of my soul
+
This is the sound
+
Always slipping from my hands
+
Sand's a time of its own
+
Take your seaside arms and write the next line
+
Oh I want the truth to be known
+
Huh huh huh hu-uh huh
+
I know this much is true
+
Huh huh huh hu-uh huh
+
I know this much is true
+
I bought a ticket to the world
+
But now I've come back again
+
Why do I find it hard to write the next line?
+
Oh I want the truth to be said
+
Huh huh huh hu-uh huh
+
I know this much is true
+
Huh huh huh hu-uh huh
+
I know this much is true
+
This much is true
+
This much is true
+
This much is true
+
I know, I know, I know this much is true
+
This much is true
+
This much is true (huh huh)
+
This much is true
+
This much is true
+
I know this much is true
+
This much is true (huh huh)
+
This much is true (I know this much is true)
+
This much is true (huh huh)
+
This much is true (I know this much is true)
+
I know, I know, I know this much is true

True

"True" is a song by English pop band Spandau Ballet, released in April 1983 as the title track and third single from their third studio album. It was written by the band's lead guitarist and principal songwriter Gary Kemp to express his feelings for Altered Images lead singer Clare Grogan. Kemp was influenced musically by songs of Marvin Gaye and Al Green he was listening to at the time, and lyrically by Green and the Beatles. "True" reached number one on the UK singles chart in April 1983 and made the top 10 in several other countries, including the US, where it became their first song to reach the Billboard Hot 100.

Kemp wanted to shift the sound of Spandau Ballet into soul and incorporated band member Steve Norman's newfound interest in the saxophone into his writing; the band also updated its look to suits for the song's music video and tour. "True" was recorded with most of the other tracks from the album at Compass Point Studios in the Bahamas. The True album was released as its first single, "Communication", was climbing the UK Singles Chart. DJs were so enthusiastic about playing the title song that the band knew it would be their next single.

The song has since become the band's signature hit. It has been covered by Paul Anka in a swing style, and used in films such as Sixteen Candles and 50 First Dates, as well as TV series such as Modern Family. Other artists have sampled it in their own hits, including P.M. Dawn, who went to number one in the US with "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss" in 1991.
