'I feel so strange what's wrong with me?'
You've got a problem that you can't see
But I've got a feeling that the rumours are true
I see the girl's got a hook in you
You carry on believing
That you can take or leave it
Now who are you deceiving
Cause when its own up time
She's in back of your mind
She's got her hooks in you
You said you'd never let it happen again
You spend your money and you're deeper in
Your fair-weather friends call two by two
To let you know what's wrong with you
But now your heartbeat's thumpin'
You watch your nerve ends jumpin'
Well I can tell you somethin'
When it's own up time
You're gonna toe the line
She's got her hooks in you
She's got her hooks in you
She's got her hooks in me too
'I feel so strange what's wrong with me?'
You've got a problem that you can't see
But I've got a feeling that the rumours are true
I see the girl's, I see the girl got a hook in you
[She's got her hooks in you]

From
the compilation CD: "A singles Collection":
Februari '89. The Musc Farm. The days were spent jamming in the
studio and drinking fresh coffee in the lounge next door. On one such afternoon I was
wrestling with the cafetiere plunger when I heard that guitar riff coming through
the wall. I was perusing a fax from the ever-creative John helmer and there was this line
'when the fear gets a hook in you...' The song unfolded in my head, right there and then
and, in about an hour, we had the basic structure nailed. We all wondered whether it was
too 'straight ahead' but always liked its attitude... You have to listen to it loud,
really... (Steve Hogarth).
‘fair-weather friends’
This is based on an old nautical term, ‘fair-weather sailors’. Fair
weather sailors were happy to be upon the water when they knew that the sailing would be
easy and fun, but would refuse to go sailing when it was likely to be a bit more
dangerous, or difficult.
