1) Underc… Read Full Bio ↴There have been multiple groups that have used this name.
1) Undercover was a Hard Rock/AOR group by a ex-Vandenberg singer Bert Heerink from Netherlands who make 2 albums in the 90s. One was Undercover (1990), a cover album, and second record was All Line Up (1994).
Personnel:
Bert Heerink Vocals
Dick Kemper Bass, Vocals
Ronald Bekking Guitars, Vocals
Ivo Elfers Drums
Cyril Whistler Guitar, Vocals
2) Undercover was a UK based pop-house group who hit the UK #2 spot in 1992 with their Stock, Aitken, Waterman produced cover of Baker Street. Pop covers of Never Let Her Slip Away and I Wanna Stay With You followed before the demise of the S/A/W 'Hit Factory,' but by then, Undercover's star was starting to fade anyway. They released two studio albums, Check Out the Groove and Ain't No Stoppin' Us!.
3) Undercover was one of the pioneering acts in Christian music. Formed in the early 1980s by Joey "Ojo" Taylor in southern California, Undercover brought a new punk sound to the Contemporary Christian music scene that differed from the Christian rock and Christian metal bands of the time. Through more than two decades and a few lineup changes, the band released eight studio albums and two live albums, and is considered by many to be pioneers in what would later be called Alternative music in the Christian world.
While the band has seen several members come and go (and come again), Taylor has said on more than one occasion that the band decided sometime after 1994's Forum that "Undercover is Ojo, Gym, Sim, and Gary," emphasizing that any other lineup, if any, would in the future be called something else.
Undercover played two reunion shows in California in August 2005. Their first eight albums have been collected into two sets, Anthology 1 (the first four albums on two CDs), and Anthology 2 (the next four albums on four CDs).

Undercover Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Light in your head and dead on your feet
Well another crazy day
You drink the night away
And forget about everything
This city desert
Make my life feel so cold
It's got so many people
And it's taken me so long
To find out you were gone
And thought about everything
Used to think that it was so easy
Used to say that it was so easy
You're trying, you're trying now
Another year and then you'll be happy
Just one more year then you'll be happy
You're crying, you're crying now
Way down the street
There's a light on his race
He opens the door, he's got that look on his face
And he asked where you've seen
And talked about anything
He's got his dream about buying some land
He's gonna give up the brooze
And the one night stand
And maybe settle down
In this quiet little town
And forget about evrything
Do you know he's gonna start moving
No, he's never gonna stop moving
He's rolling, he's rolling stone
When you wake up is a new morning
The sun is shining and it's a new morning
You're going, you're going home
The lyrics to Undercover’s song “Baker Street” depict a person exhausted and disheartened by the bustling city life of Baker Street. The first stanza highlights the mundane nature of their everyday existence, as they drink their way into oblivion to forget about everything. The person has come to the realization that the city may be full of people, but it lacks a soul, causing them to feel emptiness within. The second stanza introduces another character who has the look of someone searching for something important. They want to buy some land, settle down in a small town, and forget about everything. This seems like a more fulfilling life to them than the one they currently lead.
The chorus delivers a message of hope, even in the face of adversity. It suggests that life is not always easy, and you may struggle for years before finding happiness, but eventually, you will get there. The imagery in the song also hints at a sense of restlessness that comes with the realization that you want more out of life. The final line, “You’re going, you’re going home,” implies that the character has decided to take action and pursue what they want in life.
Line by Line Meaning
Winding your way down to Baker Street
Navigating your path to reach Baker Street
Light in your head and dead on your feet
Feeling tired both physically and mentally
Well another crazy day
Having yet another exhausting day
You drink the night away
Trying to forget the day by consuming alcohol
And forget about everything
Attempting to escape from all problems
This city desert
The city feels empty and uninviting
Make my life feel so cold
The city makes the singer's life feel bleak and miserable
It's got so many people
There are many individuals present in the city
But it's got no soul
The city lacks emotional depth and character
And it's taken me so long
It has been a long time since realizing someone has left
To find out you were gone
To discover that a person has departed
And thought about everything
Reflecting on a variety of thoughts and emotions
Used to think that it was so easy
Previously believed something was effortless
Used to say that it was so easy
Once spoke of how simple something was
You're trying, you're trying now
Putting in effort and striving towards a goal currently
Another year and then you'll be happy
Believing that happiness will come in time after more waiting
Just one more year then you'll be happy
Thinking only one more year of patience is required to reach contentment
You're crying, you're crying now
Being emotional and upset in the present moment
Way down the street
Farther away on the same street
There's a light on his race
There is an illuminated feature on a person's facade
He opens the door, he's got that look on his face
He enters an area and appears focused yet emotional
And he asked where you've seen
Inquires about a person's whereabouts
And talked about anything
Discussing a variety of topics
He's got his dream about buying some land
He has a vision of purchasing property
He's gonna give up the brooze
He is going to stop heavy alcohol consumption
And the one night stand
No longer participating in casual sexual encounters
And maybe settle down
Possibly finding a permanent home for oneself
In this quiet little town
In a peaceful and small locality
And forget about evrything
Forgetting all the previous problems and dilemmas
Do you know he's gonna start moving
Do you realize he plans to begin his journey?
No, he's never gonna stop moving
No, he will always continue forward
He's rolling, he's rolling stone
He is constantly on the move and searching for new adventures
When you wake up is a new morning
When you arise, it is a fresh day
The sun is shining and it's a new morning
The sun is radiant and it is a brand new day
You're going, you're going home
You're proceeding towards your residence

Baker Street
Winding your way down to Baker Street
Light in your head and dead on your feet
But another crazy day, you drink the night away
And forget about everything
This city desert makes me feel so cold
It's got so many people, but it's got no soul
And it's taken me so long to find out you were gone
When you thought it held everything
Used to think that it was so easy
Used to say that it was so easy
But you're trying, you're trying now
Another year and then you'll be happy
Just one more year and then you'll be happy
You're crying, you're crying now
Way down the street, there's a light in this place
He opens the door, he's got that look on his face
And he asked you where you've been
Tell him who you've seen and you talk about anything
He's got this dream about buying some land
He's gonna give up the booze and the one-night stand
And then he'll settle down in this quiet little town
And forget about everything
But you know he's gonna keep moving
No, he's never gonna stop moving
He's rolling, he's the rolling stone
When you wake up, it's a new morning
The sun is shining, it's a new morning
You're going, you're going home
Winding your way down to Baker Street
Light in your head and dead on your feet
Well, another crazy day, you drink the night away
And forget about everything
Used to think that it was so easy
Used to say that it was so easy
You're trying, you're trying now
Another year and then you'll be happy
Just one more year and then you'll be happy
You're crying, you're crying now

Com certeza nasci em 1980 e graças à Deus por ter sido agraciado por tanta música de qualidade só resta saudade desse período tão mágico que na época era tudo tão fantástico e novo clássico da música dance house.
@gustavoacharyaschuttcarval6825
Eu sou roqueiro e amo ouvir outros estilos musicais fora do metal que sejam antigos, em 2025 farei 40 anos e ouvirei essa músicas e muitos clássicos até com mais de 40, 50, 60 anos em diante.

É impressionante a quantidade de brasileiros comentando nesse vídeo. Um claro reflexo do sucesso que a música fez nas boates brasleiras - e rádios também - nos saudosos anos 1990. Um clássico irrepreensível, e uma delícia de ouvir até hoje!
