Electric Light Orchestra - Twist Of The Knife Lyrics
Lipstick traces on an unmade bed
We drank all night and got devils in our head
She said some things that should have stayed unsaid
Emotions overflowing
Now I don't know what to believe
She felt anger, I felt pain
I walked out into the pouring rain
Packed my bags and took the midnight train
Didn't care where it was going
On my way, running like a thief
Hard to leave, but harder to stay
There's no wrong, there's no right
But sometimes she breaks all the rules
Can't believe love can be so cruel
Wish I'd believed her
'Cause now I need her
Sometimes the truth just hurts too much
She goes straight to the heart
With a truth that always finds me
She goes straight to the heart
And pulls tight the ties that bind me
She can be so cold, and it tears me apart
When she twists the knife
It goes straight to the heart
Sometimes love is an endless fight
It's never simple, never black and white
Just like ships passing in the night
Who knows where they're going
No forgiveness, no reprieve
Both sailing their separate ways
Light of day, dead of night
I'm searching for what I can't find
Try and try as I might
I can't get her out of my mind
Wish I'd believed her
'Cause now I need her
I guess we all must love and learn
She goes straight to heart
With a truth that always finds me
She goes straight to the heart
And pulls tight the ties that bind me
She can be cold, and it tears me apart
When she twists the knife
It goes straight to the heart

Kelly and Steven Page of Barenaked Ladies sound so similar. Check out "It's All Been Done" by BNL...
Elo Part 2 , what a group? Without Jeff Lynne its nothing !!!
Why are you even here, then?
I keep forgetting about this great Kelly track! Kelly and Phil sound great together on the pre chorus! Background vocals on the chorus are amazing too! Also love the sound of the guitar during the chord breaks!
This sounds like the result of a collaboration between Queen and ELO.
This is one of my five favorite songs of all time...I agree that it's incredibly underrated and unfortunately, under-played. I love you Kelly...rest in peace knowing that there are legions of fans still enjoying your gift.
Extremely underrated song.
Fantastic,great song,great vocals.
