Los miembros fijos de su banda desde los años ochenta son:

El saxofonista y guitarrista Stuart Matthewman,

El primero, el que más me gusta.

If I tell you 

If I tell you now 

Will you keep on 

Will you keep on loving me 

If I tell you 

If I tell you how I feel 

Will you keep bringing out the best in me 

You give me, you give me the sweetest taboo 

You give me, you're giving me the sweetest taboo 

Too good for me 

There's a quiet storm 

And it never felt like this before 

There's a quiet storm 

That is you 

There's a quiet storm 

And it never felt this hot before 

Giving me something that's taboo 

(Sometimes I think you're just too good for me) 

You give me the sweetest taboo 

That's why I'm in love with you 

You give me the sweetest taboo 

Sometimes I think you're just too good for me 

I'd do anything for you, I'd stand out in the rain 

Anything you want me to do, don't let it slip away 

There's a quiet storm 

And it never felt like this before 

There's a quiet storm 

I think it's you 

There'a a quiet storm 

And I never felt this hot before 

Giving me something that's taboo 

You give me the sweetest taboo 

That's why I'm in love with you 

You give me, you're giving me the sweetest taboo 

Too good for me 

You've got the biggest heart 

Sometimes I think you're just too good for me 

Every day is Christmas, and every night is new years eve 

Will you keep on loving me 

Will you keep on, will you keep on 

Bringing out the best in me

The Sweetest Taboo 

Álbum: Promise  (1985)

Your love is king

Crown you in my heart

Your love is king

Never need to part

Your kisses ring

Round and round and round my head

Touching the very part of me

It's making my soul sing

Tearing the very heart of me

I'm crying out for more

Your love is king

Crown you in my heart

Your love is king

You're the ruler of my heart

your kisses ring

Round and round and round my head

Touching the very part of me

It's making my soul sing

I'm crying out for more

Your love is king

I'm coming up, I'm coming

You're making me dance, inside

Your love is king

Crown you in my heart

Your love is king

Never need to part

Your kisses ring

Round and round and round my head

Touching the very part of me

It's making my soul sing

Tearing the very heart of me

I'm crying out for more

Touching the very part of me

It's making my soul sing

I'm crying out for more

Your love is king

This is no blind faith

This is no sad and sorry dream

This is no blind faith

Your love

Your love is real 

Gotta crown me with your heart

Your love is king

Never, never need to part

Your love is king

Touch me.

Your love is king

I'm coming up

Your love is king

You're making me dance, inside

Your love is king

Your Love Is King

Álbum: Diamond Life (1984)

La letra de la canción es un poco ______, pero, para repasar los grados del adjetivo, comparativo y superlativo, en inglés viene muy bien. La música... de lo mejorcito de Sade.

It may come, it may come as some surprise

But I miss you

I could see through all of your lies

But still I miss you

He takes her love, but it doesn't feel like mine
He tastes her kiss, her kisses are not wine, they're not mine

He takes, but surely she can't give what I'm feeling now

 She takes, but surely she doesn´t know how

Is it a crime?

Is it a crime?

That I still want you

And I want you to want me too

My love is wider, wider than victoria lake

My love is taller, taller than the empire state

It divides and it jumps and it ripples like the deepest ocean

I can't give you more than that, surely you want me back

Is it a crime?

Is it a crime?

That I still want you

And I want you to want me too

My love wider than victoria lake

Taller than the empire state

It dives and it jumps

I can't give you more than that, surely you want me back

Is it a crime?

Is it a crime?

that I still want you

And I want you to want me too

It dives and it jumps
And it ripples like the deepest ocean
I can´t give you more than that
Surely you want it back

Tell me
Is it a crime?

Is it a crime?

Y la última... una  versión (jazz)  del Smooth operator impresionante, así la definió Gatopardo hace tres años y estoy de acuerdo con él. (A ver quién se atreve a decir lo contrario.)

He's laughing with another girl 

And playing with another heart 

Placing high stakes, making hearts ache 

He's loved in seven languages 

Jewel box life diamond nights and ruby lights, high in the sky 

Heaven help him, when he falls 

Diamond life, lover boy 

He move in space with minimum waste and maximum joy 

City lights and business nights 

When you require streetcar desire for higher heights  

No place for beginners or sensitive hearts 

When sentiment is left to chance 

No place to be ending but somewhere to start 

No need to ask 

He's a smooth operator 

Smooth operator, smooth operator 

Smooth operator 

Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male 

Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale 

Face to face, each classic case 

We shadow box and double cross 

Yet need the chase 

A license to love, insurance to hold 

Melts all your memories and change into gold 

His eyes are like angels but his heart is cold 

No need to ask 

He's a smooth operator 

Smooth operator

Smooth Operator 

Álbum: Diamond Life (1984)

Creo que la tristeza bien manejada trae felicidad. Te purga y te permite dejarla atrás. De hecho, los temas felices te pueden hacer sentir peor. No soy depresiva, pero tengo tendencia a la melancolía.
