Most of this song was written almost four years ago, but never recorded or finished. Finally got round to it. The other thing of note is that the lead guitar came free when I bought a load of kit from a bloke selling up down the road. This cheap little Starforce HSS Strat copy was in a dreadful state, but the bright crackle red/black finish made me give in and buy it some new innards. Dunno why, but I love it. (I'm a cheapskate, so it's almost certainly coz it cost next to nowt.....)
You don’t fool me
I can clearly see
What you have planned for me
You don’t fool me
I know your game
A little bit of pleasure and a lot of pain
A blind alley posing as lover’s lane
I know your game
My heart’s been mauled before, and that’s the reason why,
I keep my distance – once bitten twice shy
I’ve got you sussed
My guarded soul will not be crushed
My single voice will not be hushed
I’ve got you sussed
You can’t break through
My eyes can see through you
My ears can hear no proof
You can’t break through
My heart’s been mauled before, and that’s the reason why,
I keep my distance – once bitten twice shy
How come you’re here?
How come so near?
Whispering in my ear
How come you’re here?
You sure fooled me
I simply couldn’t see
You’d get inside me
You’d walk beside me
And understand me
And reach around me
Love and dumbfound me
Your sure fooled me.
