STRAIGHT THROUGH THE HEART

Written by: Mick Box, Bob Daisley, Peter Goalby, John Sinclair & Lee Kerslake
Released on: 'Head First' May 1983


You came on like an angel
I didn’t see the evil in your eyes
I could see but I was blinded
Oh, believed your lies

You hit we with your promises
You shot me, I fell to the ground
Your promise of tomorrow
When I looked
You were nowhere to be found

You set me up right from the start
Stripped me of my dignity

You got me straight through the heart
I never did stand a chance
You got me straight
Through the heart
You cut me and left me for dead

You promised me a heaven
Turned out to be
One hell all the time
The truth that you’re pretending
Was just a chorus of lies

You set me up right from the start
Strip me of my dignity

And got me straight through the heart
I never did stand a chance
Got me straight through the heart
You cut me and left me for dead
You cut me and left me for dead

You came on like an angel
Just like an angel
You set me up

You got me straight through the heart
I never did stand a chance
Got me straight through the heart
You cut me, you left me
Straight through the heart
You never gave me a chance
Got me straight through the heart
I’m bleeding, you’re leaving
Got me straight through the heart
