Asia - The Last To Know Lyrics






Standing alone in solitude
Holding your head in your hands
Tears play like rain on your fingertips
Who but yourself is to blame?
How could I offer sympathy?
When all I feel is pure rejection

I was the first one to really know your name
And you were the first one for me
But everyone knew but me
You were the first one to ever let me down
And I was just The Last To Know

I was the fool who trusted you
No evil thoughts in my mind
When I saw you going out with him
Who could I blame, for this deception?

    How can I offer sympathy when all I feel is Pure Rejection! Awesome lyrics. I saw Asia (I went alone) at the New Haven coliseum in Connecticut in '83. Now in 2019 I still crank their music on my $5000 car stereo. I imagine as I drive by, people think, that white boy be crazy! Ha! You bet Cha! Crazy for Asia. And crazy for Michelle too. But alas, she may not feel the same way. Still, life goes on and I've got Asia to comfort me. Til the end of time. So let it be written, so let it be done.

  7. R.... G....

    They made a huge deal that they were in Canada using the first 32 track mixer.........am I the only one here remembering this ? They made a big thing about it as if it was the next thing .
    It was the weediest sounding disc ever..haha .......no rock band needs that...
    The disc was still very awesome....just had to turn the treble down and the bass way up

  8. R.... G....

    It does sound awesome

  9. l.... s....

    I hope this music lives on forever, after all it is truly timeless music. As is a lot of prog rock thanks to incredible musicians like John Wetton,(RIP) and Steve Howe just to name a few OK Palmer and Downes also.

  10. j.... ....

    Wetton Wetton Wetton! The guy could really belt out the best hooks in rock! This song is amazing!

    Didn’t they make a video or two from this album. I seem to remember one but I can’t find it....

    c.... ....

    The only two videos to come out of Alpha were Don't Cry and Smile. My vote for a third would have been Never in a Million Years or My Own Time.

  19. K.... C....

    Ground breaking then and exquisite now.

    Last night I saw my first love at my work for the first time in 25 years. We didn't say anything, but we exchanged glances, hers was fleeting, but I couldn't take my eyes off her. This song brings back a flood of emotions and feelings I had 25 years ago

  37. R.... G....

    Also one of Roger Deans'  most awesome album covers !

    R.... G....

    Roger Dean has done paintings and album covers for quite some time. He is excellent.

  38. J.... M....

    One of Asia´s best songs! Such a nice songwriting and arrangement! So long ago but still absolutely overwhelming!

    J.... M....

    It is amazing . It was one of the first 24 track studio recordings....and sold significantly less than their opening disc

    J.... M....

    Jean Marron, I so agree with you. I will always love this song!!!! 

    J.... M....

    +R Gray I couldn't understand why it sold less I thought the sound with the 24 track recording captured their sound and musicianship fantastically as evident in this track..

    J.... M....

    They were sabotaged by the very people that propped them up

    J.... M....

    great song
