Smokie - Needles and Pins 1977

Smokie - Needles and Pins 1977

(Originals by Jackie DeShannon/US and The Searchers/UK 1963)

I saw her today,
I saw her face,
It was a face I loved, and I knew,
I had to run away,
And get down on my knees and pray
That they'd go away,
And still they begin,
Needles and pins,
Because of all my pride,
The tears I gotta hide.

Oh, I thought I was smart,
I'd won a heart,
Didn't think I do,
But now you see,
She's worse to him and me,
Let her go ahead,
And take this love instead,
And one day she will see,
Just how to say "please",
And get down on her knees,
That's how they begin,
You'll feel those needles and pins,
Hurtin' her, hurtin' her,

What can't I stop and tell myself
I'm wrong, I'm wrong, so wrong,
What can't I stand up,
and tell myself I'm strong.

Because I saw her today
I saw her face,
It was a face I loved, and I knew,
I had to run away,
And get down on my knees and pray,
That they'd go away,
And still they begin,
Needles and pins,
Because of all my pride,
The tears I gotta hide

Needles and pins,
Needles and pins,
Needles and pins,
Needles and pins

In 1990 a girlfriend from germany gave me a LP by Chris Norman called break the ice. I didn't know it was this guy till today. he's really great.

Time has moved on but, regretfully good music and the ability to write/sing it, seems to have been left behind.

Damals als dieses Lied rauskam war ich blutjunge 20, ein wahnsinns Song, wenn auch gecovert hört sich diese Version dennnoch nicht schlecht an.
