Matt Goss is the headliner at the world famous Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas alongside mega artists such as Celine Dion and Elton John. His show is produced by Pussycat Dolls’ creator Robin Antin and is a very contemporary reinvention of vintage Rat Pack Vegas featuring a dynamic blend of musical talent. Backed by a nine-piece band and the sexy “Dirty Virgins” dancers, Goss entertains guests with a production featuring a mix of his many past hits, songs from his new album, and popular old-school classics such as “I’ve Got the World on a String” and “Luck Be a Lady.”
Matt reached international fame as a singer in a band (Bros) with his brother Luke and friend Craig Logan. Bros enjoyed more than a decade of success and more than 17 million records sold worldwide. Their debut album “Push” went 7-times platinum, spawned 13 top-5 hits, and remained in the U.K. charts for 84 weeks. Their record-setting video surpassed the making of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” and they went on to sell-out the iconic Wembley Arena for 15 consecutive nights.
In addition to his successful recording career, in 2005 Matt released his autobiography “More than you Know”, achieving best-seller status in the coveted London Sunday Times. He has gone on to focus on songwriting, including writing the theme for the smash FOX program “So You Think You Can Dance” and the hit song “Change Me” for Keri Hilson and Akon, which is featured on Hilson’s chart-topping album “In a Perfect World”. Matt’s song ”Lovely Las Vegas” is currently being used by NASCAR to support the 2011 campaign.
Matt currently lives in Los Angeles and was recently selected by LA Confidential Magazine as one of “LA’s Most Eligible Bachelors”.
He has just been named the sexiest man alive in Vegas by CBS news, and has also just finished an editorial piece for LA Confidential where he was profiled as one of six leading industry changers in Los Angeles.
He is now recording his much anticipated new album with legendary music producer Ron Fair, who has worked with artists such as The Black Eyed Peas, U2, Christina Aguilera and Mary J Blige to name just a few. Matt will be debuting some of these new recordings at one of his favorite venues, The Royal Albert Hall, in London on October 21 2011, followed by a prestigious “audience with” performance at the decadent Savoy Hotel in London on October 22.
Take Me Home
Matt Goss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've had way too much to drink
I don't remember (oh)
I'm gonna put the window down to get some air
So kind sir wake me when we get there
I see strangers kissing
But they don't know who they're with
I'm so hungry I'd eat anything
Gotta stop myself from falling
Do I say goodnight, or do I say good morning
My home is calling me, so won't you
CHORUS
(Take me home) Take me home
I left the devil at the table
Man, I feel so alone
In the city full of angels
My smile is for show
Like a designer label
(But as I lay down my head) But as I lay down my head
My loneliness spins out of control
(Oh-oh...)
(I think I'm going down)
(I think I'm going down)
Man, how the hell did I get here
The room is spinning
But my lonely heart is still
I'm at the point where I need to be alone
Rather than in my bed with some girl... I don't know (Yeah)
It takes a night like this
When memories come calling
Like the (Grenadiers) and tea on a rainy morning
I can see the sun it means it's time to go to bed
So I say goodnight to the voices in my head
They're singing my home is calling me so won't you
CHORUS
(Take me home) Take me home (oh no)
I left the devil at the table
Man, I feel so alone
In the city full of angels (I'm so lonely)
My smile is for show
It's a designer label
(As I lay down my head) as I lay down my head
My loneliness spins out of control
(It's spinning out of control)
My home is calling me, Take(take me home) Take me home
I left the devil at the table
Man I feel so alone (Man I'm so lonely)
In this city full of angels
My smile is for show
It's a designer label (as I lay down my head)
Loneliness spins out of control (oh-oh-oh...)
It's spinning out of control
It's spinning (oh-oh...)

Line by Line Meaning
Cab driver won't you take me home
Asking the cab driver to take him back home
I've had way too much to drink
Acknowledging the excessive drinking
I don't remember (oh)
Forgetfulness due to intoxication
I'm gonna put the window down to get some air
Trying to alleviate the effects of alcohol with fresh air
So kind sir wake me when we get there
Requesting the driver to notify him once they reach the destination
I see strangers kissing
Observing strangers indulging in public displays of affection
But they don't know who they're with
Speculating that the strangers might not be familiar with each other
I'm so hungry I'd eat anything
Desperately hungry and willing to eat whatever is available
I'm getting out the cab
Getting ready to leave the taxi
Gotta stop myself from falling
Struggling to maintain balance and avoid falling
Do I say goodnight, or do I say good morning
Confused about the appropriate farewell to give
My home is calling me, so won't you
Feeling the pull of home and urging the driver to take him there
Take me home
Reiteration of the desire to be taken home
I left the devil at the table
Choosing to leave behind negative influences such as the devil
Man, I feel so alone
Expressing loneliness despite being in a city full of people
In the city full of angels
Referencing the nickname for Los Angeles, the City of Angels
My smile is for show
Putting up a facade of happiness despite feeling sad
Like a designer label
Comparing the fake happiness to a designer label
But as I lay down my head
Reflecting on his emotions as he goes to sleep
My loneliness spins out of control
Feeling overwhelmed by loneliness
I think I'm going down
Sensing that he is experiencing a mental or emotional breakdown
Man, how the hell did I get here
Questioning how he ended up in his current state
The room is spinning
Experiencing the physical sensation of dizziness
But my lonely heart is still
Acknowledging the emotional pain he is feeling despite physical symptoms
I'm at the point where I need to be alone
Realizing the need for solitude and introspection
Rather than in my bed with some girl... I don't know (Yeah)
Preferring to be alone than to seek temporary companionship with a stranger
It takes a night like this
Realizing that moments of emotional hardship can lead to self-reflection
When memories come calling
Reflecting on past experiences
Like the (Grenadiers) and tea on a rainy morning
Recalling previous memories that bring him comfort and solace
I can see the sun it means it's time to go to bed
Noticing the upcoming dawn and realizing it is late and time to rest
So I say goodnight to the voices in my head
Acknowledging inner turmoil and bidding farewell to negative thoughts
They're singing my home is calling me so won't you
Feeling a sense of longing for home and urging the driver to take him back
Loneliness spins out of control
Feeling consumed by overwhelming feelings of sadness and isolation
It's spinning out of control
Reiteration of the feeling of being overwhelmed by negative emotions
