Track 8 of our 2016 Album, The Lost Tapes

lyrics

The night that they took you from me
didn’t know, didn’t care, ‘cos we thought we were free
with the audience patiently waiting
you said, let ’em wait, I’m still eating
you could behave like a petulant child
you could break someone’s heart with a smile
[chorus]
Played a spider arpeggio as only you can
held the face of the audience in the palm of your hand
and you, you, were mine,
and you, you were mine.

Marched onto the stage with a purposeful tread
then mumbled some words, no-one heard what you said
took your seat, took a gulp of some beer,
then sang in that voice wide and clear
put the audience under your spell
and bewitched me one more time as well

[Chorus]

After all of the arguments, all of the fights
I still can remember that night
with the smiles of the money men, staking their claim
and your look at me full of pain
you got everything your heart desired
even though it was playing with fire
[Chorus – repeat last line twice more]
