Lyrics
Yeah
You gave me such a bad time
Tried to hurt me
But now I know
Thorn in my side
You know that's all you ever were
A bundle of lies
You know that's all that it was worth
I should have known better
But I trusted you at first
I should have known better
But I got what I deserved
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
To run away from you
Was all that I could do
To run away from you
Was all that I could do
To run away from you
Was all that I could do
To run away from you
Was all that I could do
Thorn in my side
You know that's all you'll ever be
So don't think you know better
'Cause that's what you mean to me
I was feeling complicated
I was feeling low
Now every time I think of you
I shiver to the bone
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
To run away from you
Was all that I could do
To run away from you
Was all that I could do
To run away from you
Was all that I could do
To run away from you
Was all that I could do

You've also had the Proclaimers and the Bay City Rolelrs. Wasn't a fan of the Rollers myself, but they were hugely popular when I was in school. You couldn't have anything in tartan without everyone thinking it had something to do with them

[@MalkyMcCallum]

@@IanM-id8or the rollers played in my hometown (Bo'ness) many years ago, small town that had a popular venue where some big names played, i remember my mum saying people were passing out in the queue when they saw them up close lol

Koliko je moćna ova pesma i posle toliko godina.Uživanje je slušati je.Pozdrav iz Srbije.

[@barnbersonol]

It's a song about betrayal. When Annie was 14 a girl offered to be her "best friend" but that only lasted til her real best friend split with her bf and became available again. The message is universal and reminds to value proper friendship and reject those who cower behind falsehood.

[@pauljordan4452]

Here we are thinking she's singing about a man.

[@Sunmoon-gj9gy]

It's about her first marriage to a scientologist

[@Gubalicious]

When I was 14 I was befriended by a scientologist. They came and took him away. Not sure what happened to him after that.

[@barnbersonol]

@@Gubalicious When I was 14 he became schizophrenic but she's older now and much better.

These songs remind me of when I was in college in and around 1995. Some of them in particular, remind me of guys I had a crush on back then. But hey, we change and when you are best buddies with female identical twins, and you fight over the same guys....walk a mile in someone else's shoes...

I feel like there was, in general, a great sense of imagination when it came round to writing music back in the 80s than there is today. I could be wrong of course, but that's the impression I tend to get.

This is an absolute timeless classic. Annie Lennox voice is beautiful on this track. One of my faves by them. Was too young to appreciate how good Eurythmics were at their peak. Glad I can hear more of their tunes on here. 80s music was so good.

[@brendapurvis4803]

[@chrisdearing2552]

It’s got to be one of the greatest songs ever made. No doubt about it. Incredible.

[@leolanz]

Although the first single from Revenge, "When Tomorrow Comes", had barely reached the UK Top 30, "Thorn in My Side" became Eurythmics' ninth Top 10 single, reaching number 5 in the British charts. To date, it is their last appearance in the UK Top 10. In the United States, the track stalled at number 68 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was a Top 2 hit in Ireland, and reached the Top 10 in New Zealand (#7) and Sweden (#6).
