about

In May 1980 Dexys Midnight Runners released Geno in tribute to legendary soul singer Geno Washington. We're just carrying on a tradition then, so this one's for Kevin Rowland, still a young soul rebel.

lyrics

The man I remember poised like a tower of cards flawed and ready to fall
So proud of his music that he’s been stealing it back – when it’s ready’s his call
If it’s ever ready at all

Still the – The time would come when he would open and sing
And for those few hours he’d forget everything
A hollow look under a furrowed brow
You’d never tell but he’s happier – now

And he tired of the travelling so he up cut his ties with his band, a green light turned red
The words of a poet but set to older ideas - still lost in his head
Why couldn’t it be someone else instead?

Still the – The time would come when he would open and sing
And for those few hours he’d forget everything
A hollow look under a furrowed brow
You’d never tell but he’s happier – now

Out in the words and stories illness could never stop
There’s a generation shouts out Geno, Geno, Geno
He’s out of the public eye now, but he’s still at the top
Forever glowing brightly – cause that man had

Soul, soul, soul

I am searching for him cause he was searching for me x 8

Soul, soul, soul
