"Poison Arrow" by ABC - January 1st 80's Quest Song/Band of the day

‎"The Lexicon of Love" by ABC is one of my favorite albums from the 80's. It all started when "The Look of Love" came out, and I just remember I loved to dance to "Poison Arrow" it just sounded so "new" at the time. My favorite song on the whole album, though is "Date Stamp". It wasn't one of the big hits, but I like it best (I didn't make it Song of the Day because I couldn't find a video or 80's performance clip of it)-whenever I go through a break-up I think of the the lyrics and remind myself, "Love has no guarantee (Yes I'm datestamped), no promise til eternity, no chance of certainty, Love has no guarantee" Great songs, great band!

Lyrics:

If I were to say to you
"Can you keep a secret?"
Would you know just what to do
Or where to keep it?
Then I say "I love you"
And foul the situation
"Hey girl I thought we were
the right combination"
Who broke my heart?
You did you did
Bow to the target,
Blame cupid, cupid
You think you're smart
Stupid, stupid
Shoot that poison arrow though to my heart
Shoot that poison arrow
No rhythm in cymbals
No tempo in drums
Love on arrival
She comes when she comes
Right on the target
But wide of the mark
What I thought was the fire
Was only the spark
The sweetest melody
Is an unheard refrain
So lower your sights, yeah but raise your aim,
raise your aim
I thought you loved me but it seems you don't care
I care enough to know I can never love you
Who broke my heart?
You did you did
Bow to the target,
Blame cupid, cupid
You think you're smart
Stupid, stupid
Right from the start
When you knew we would part
Shoot that poison arrow though to my heart
Shoot that poison arrow
