Terence Trent D'Arby was born Terence Trent Howard in Manhattan in 1962. His mother is Frances Howard Darby, a gospel singer, teacher and counselor; she married Bishop James Benjamin Darby, who became D'Arby's stepfather and raised him, hence "his last name changed and later he completed it with the apostrophe." His biological father was a married man with Scotch-Irish ancestry. He was known to childhood friends as Terry Darby. His family moved successively from New York to New Jersey, to Chicago, to Daytona Beach, and then settled in DeLand, Florida, north of Orlando.
He trained as a boxer in Orlando and in 1980 won the Florida Golden Gloveslightweight championship. He received an offer to attend boxing school in the United States Army, but he went to college instead. He enrolled at the University of Central Florida but quit a year later, enlisting in the U.S. Army. He was posted at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, and then served in the 3rd Armored Division, near Frankfurt, West Germany. He was formally court-martialed and dishonorably discharged by the army in April 1983 after going absent without leave. While in West Germany, he also worked as a band leader with the band The Touch, releasing an album of material called Love On Time (1984). It was later re-issued in 1989 as Early Works after his worldwide success as a solo artist. In 1986 he left West Germany for London, where he briefly played with The Bojangels, after which he signed a solo recording deal.
Publius Terentius Afer (/təˈrɛnʃiəs, -ʃəs/; c. 195/185 – c. 159? BC), better known in English as Terence (/ˈtɛrəns/), was a playwright of the Roman Republic, of North African descent. His comedies were performed for the first time around 170–160 BC. Terentius Lucanus, a Roman senator, brought Terence to Rome as a slave, educated him and later on, impressed by his abilities, freed him. Terence apparently died young, probably in Greece or on his way back to Rome. All of the six plays Terence wrote have survived.
One famous quotation by Terence reads: "Homo sum, humani nihil a me alienum puto", or "I am human, and nothing of that which is human is alien to me." This appeared in his play Heauton Timorumenos.
Biography
Terence's date of birth is disputed; Aelius Donatus, in his incomplete Commentum Terenti, considers the year 185 BC to be the year Terentius was born;Fenestella, on the other hand, states that he was born ten years earlier, in 195 BC.
He may have been born in or near Carthage or in Greek Italy to a woman taken to Carthage as a slave. Terence's cognomenAfer suggests he lived in the territory of the Libyan tribe called by the Romans Afri near Carthage prior to being brought to Rome as a slave. This inference is based on the fact that the term was used in two different ways during the republican era: during Terence's lifetime, it was used to refer to non-Carthaginian Libyco-Berbers, with the term Punicus reserved for the Carthaginians. Later, after the destruction of Carthage in 146 BC, it was used to refer to anyone from the land of the Afri (Tunisia and its surroundings). It is therefore most likely that Terence was of Libyan descent, considered ancestors to the modern-day Berber peoples.
Terence is a male given name, derived from the Latin name Terentius. The diminutive form is Terry. Spelling variants include Terrence, Terance, and Terrance.

Kissing like a bandit stealing time
Underneath the sycamore tree
Cupid by the hour sends valentines
To my sweet lover and me
Slowly but surely
Your appetite is more than I knew
Sweetly, softly
I'm falling in love with you
Wish me love a wishing well to kiss and tell
A wishing well of butterfly tears
Wish me love a wishing well to kiss and tell
A wishing well of crocodile cheers - sing!

Terence Trent D'Arby - Holding On To You (Sananda Maitreya)
I left the east side for a west coast beauty
A girl who burned my thoughts like kisses
She was down by street decree
She swore she'd pull my best years out of me
Fat painted lips on a live wire beauty
A tangerine girl with tambourine eyes
Her face was my favourite magazine
Her body was my favourite book to read
They say that poets must have as unrequited love
As all lovers must have thought provoking fears
But holdig on to you means letting go of pain
Means letting go of tears
Means letting go of rain
Means letting go of what's not real
Holding on to you
I left the rough side for a seaside baby
A chamomile smile the pouts on cue
For every moment I breathe her sigh
Her bosom contains my sweet alibi
In an emotional mist she brathes in fog
And breathes it out as gard...

What Happened To Terence Trent D'Arby? | His Spiritual Journey & Why He Changed His Name
One could assume that being compared to superstars such as Michael Jackson and Prince is a good thing. However, Terence Trent D’Arby never let the opinions of others dictate the approach to his art throughout his career. He’s even said in interviews that he strongly believes the comparisons were more rooted in him having a similar skin tone as his predecessors than anything else. What he does believe that he has in common with the aforementioned icons is that his goal is to come from as as many different directions as possible to stretch the boundaries of what is considered to be "black music."

In an emotional mist she brathes in fog

I guess she heard my heartbeat through the noise
They say that all poets must have an unrequited love

She's my new religion she's all I got

Time I'm sure will bring
Disappointments in so many things
It seems to be the way
When your gambling cards on love you play
I'd rather be in Hell
With you baby than in cool Heaven
It seems to be the way
Sign you name across my heart
I want you to be my baby
Sign your name across my heart
I want you to be my lady
Birds never look into the sun
Before the day is done
Oh the light shines brighter
On a peaceful day
Stranger blue leave us alone
We don't want to deal with you
We'll shed our stains showering
In the room that makes the rain
All alone with you
Makes the butterflies in me arise
Slowly we make love
And the earth rotates
To our dictates
Slowly we make love
Hey
Sign your name across my heart (sign your name)
I want you to be my baby (be my baby)
Sign your name across my heart
I want you to be my lady
(Sign your name, sign your name)
Sign you name across my heart
I want you to be my baby
Sign your name across my heart
I want you to be my lady
Sign you name across my heart
I want you to be my baby
Sign your name across my heart

Lyrics
Kissing like a bandit stealing time
Underneath the sycamore tree
Cupid by the hour sends valentines
To my sweet lover and me
Slowly but surely
Your appetite is more than I knew
Sweetly, softly
I'm falling in love with you
Wish me love a wishing well to kiss and tell
A wishing well of butterfly tears
Wish me love a wishing well to kiss and tell
A wishing well of crocodile cheers - sing!
Make it funky now, boys
Hugging like a monkey see, monkey do
Right beside a riverboat gambler ha, ha, ha, ha
Erotic images float through my head
Say you wanna be a midnight rambler
Gently but quickly
The blood races through my veins
Quickly, loudly
I wanna hear those sugar bells ring
Wish me love a wishing well to kiss and tell
A wishing well of butterfly tears
Wish me love a wishing well to kiss and tell
A wishing well of crocodile cheers
Get up now!
On the beat now, uh!
Come on!
Wish me love a wishing well to kiss and tell
A wishing well of butterfly tears
Come on!
Wish me love a wishing well to kiss and tell
A wishing well of crocodile cheers
Uh!
Yeah, I feel like goin' on, I feel like goin' on
(Wish me love, a wishing well to kiss and tell)
Come on, come on!
Erotic images float through here
Your midnight rambler, baby, uh
(Wish me love, a wishing well to kiss and tell)
Yeah hoo! Dig it! Follow you anywhere
I don't know, I don't care
(Wish me love, a wishing well to kiss and tell)
But all I know is that I gotta be a midnight rambler, baby, uh!
I left the east side for a west coast beauty
A girl who burned my thoughts like kisses
She was down by street decree
She swore she'd pull my best years out of me
Fat painted lips on a live wire beauty
A tangerine girl with tambourine eyes
Her face was my favourite magazine
Her body was my favourite book to read
They say that poets must have as unrequited love
As all lovers must have thought provoking fears
But holdig on to you means letting go of pain
Means letting go of tears
Means letting go of rain
Means letting go of what's not real
Holding on to you
I left the rough side for a seaside baby
A chamomile smile the pouts on cue
For every moment I breathe her sigh
Her bosom contains my sweet alibi
In an emotional mist she brathes in fog
And breathes it out as garden flowers
Why me of all that tough talking boys
I guess she heard my heartbeat through the noise
They say that all poets must have an unrequited love
As all lovers must have thought provoking fears
But holding on to you
Means letting go of pain
Means letting go of tears
Means letting go of rain
Holding on to you
Means letting sorrows heal
Means letting go of what's not real
Holding on to you
They say that all poets must have an unrequited love
As all lovers I'm sure must have thought provoking fears
But holding on to you
means letting sorrows heal
Means letting go of what's not real
Holding on to you
I left the east coast for a west coast beauty
A woman who wet my thoughts like kisses
She was down down by street decree
She swore she'd pull my best years out of me
Fat wet lips on a sea salt canvas
Goodbye Picasso, hello Dali
The soil is fertile where her footsteps trod
She's my new religion she's all I got
They say that all poets must have an unrequited love
As all lovers I'm sure must have thought provoking fears
But holding on to you
Means letting go of tears
Means letting go of rain
Means letting sorrows heal
It means letting go of pain

Lyrics
Get up 'outta' your rockin' chair, grandma!
Or rather would you care to dance, grandmother?
Hey you!
Give up to the ghost that's haunting you now
Shout it out
Don't let it stay inside and eat you alive
Make up your mind
Don't you want to stay this side of the line?
I can assure you when you're my age
You'll learn from all you've left behind
(You've got to)
Dance little sister
Don't give up today
Hang on till tomorrow
I don't wanna hear you're late
Dance little sister
Don't give up today
Hang on till tomorrow
Don't give up your stay
Say now
Share the weight and lay your cross down
And let the long reaching arm
Of hope bring you around
It ain't easy but giving up
Is the easy thing to do
Time is on your side
Would you just watch the clock and let it tick for you?
(You've got to)
Dance little sister
Don't give up today
Hang on till tomorrow
I don't wanna hear you're late
Dance little sister
Don't give up today
Hang on till tomorrow
Don't give up your stay
One could assume that being compared to superstars such as Michael Jackson and Prince is a good thing. However, Terence Trent D’Arby never let the opinions of others dictate the approach to his art throughout his career. He’s even said in interviews that he strongly believes the comparisons were more rooted in him having a similar skin tone as his predecessors than anything else. What he does believe that he has in common with the aforementioned icons is that his goal is to come from as as many different directions as possible to stretch the boundaries of what is considered to be "black music."

Terence Trent D'Arby was born Terence Trent Howard in Manhattan in 1962. His mother is Frances Howard Darby, a gospel singer, teacher and counselor; she married Bishop James Benjamin Darby, who became D'Arby's stepfather and raised him, hence "his last name changed and later he completed it with the apostrophe." His biological father was a married man with Scotch-Irish ancestry. He was known to childhood friends as Terry Darby. His family moved successively from New York to New Jersey, to Chicago, to Daytona Beach, and then settled in DeLand, Florida, north of Orlando.
He trained as a boxer in Orlando and in 1980 won the Florida Golden Gloveslightweight championship. He received an offer to attend boxing school in the United States Army, but he went to college instead. He enrolled at the University of Central Florida but quit a year later, enlisting in the U.S. Army. He was posted at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, and then served in the 3rd Armored Division, near Frankfurt, West Germany. He was formally court-martialed and dishonorably discharged by the army in April 1983 after going absent without leave. While in West Germany, he also worked as a band leader with the band The Touch, releasing an album of material called Love On Time (1984). It was later re-issued in 1989 as Early Works after his worldwide success as a solo artist. In 1986 he left West Germany for London, where he briefly played with The Bojangels, after which he signed a solo recording deal.
Get out of your head Get into my bed she said Get your wiggle on Strut like Sinatra Sample someone's song Sing for your supper Like a rolling stone I jam with a woody Wearing cheap cologne A sweet suga daddy Get out of your head Get into my bed she said Get your wiggle on Be sexy like Lenny! Let your mind move on It sells for a penny Like a record groove Gets scratched by a needle Telling kids the truth About The Byrds and The Beatles Get out of your head Get into my bed she said Get your wiggle on The bees in their bonnets Are making honey from Unwritten sonnets Release your inner scream! And float with a swagger Dancing in the street Like Bowie and Jagger Get out of your head Get into my bed she said
