Following on the heels of my spectacularly unpopular other thread, Biko, thought i’d post something a bit less radical 80s song, Mike and the Mechanics. i was searching for the mp3 of this one for a long time. One of my favvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvourites.
6483.Mike & The Mechanics - Taken In
Taken in, taken in again
Wrapped around the finger of some fair-weather friend
Caught up in the promises, left out in the end
No pride, taken for a ride
You say I’m the only one when I look in your eyes
I want to believe you but you know how to lie
And if you say you understand I don’t believe it
And when you reach out for my hand I don’t believe it
And if you say you take the blame I don’t believe it
And if say that nothing’s changed I don’t believe it, don’t believe it
Taken in, taken in again
Someone saw me coming, a fool without a friend
There’s one born every minute and you’re looking at him
And if you say you want me near I don’t believe it
And when you’re holding back the tears I don’t believe it
And when you swear that you are mine I don’t believe it
And it’s your heart that’s on the line I don’t believe it, don’t believe
it
Taken in, taken in again
Wrapped around the finger of some fair-weather friend
Caught up in the promises, left out in the end
No pride, taken for a ride
You say I’m the only one when I look in your eyes
I’d love to believe you but you know how to lie
You say you want me near I don’t believe it
And when you’re holding back the tears I don’t believe it
Oh, there’s one born every minute, you’re looking at him
Taken in, taken in again
Someone saw me coming, a fool without a friend
I want to believe you, oh
When you say you understand
When you reach out for my hand
Oh, I wish I could believe you
Taken in, taken in again
Thankoo Irem
They produced a bunch of other nice songs too, although i am not certain if any of the bandmembers themselves wrote this particular song… a good 80s band.
