Poison pen
12
Everyone enjoys sharing a rumour
13
But when it's aimed at you it loses its humour

Sometimes words so innocent cut so deep

Everybody keeps telling me, "talk is cheap"

Sometimes words so innocent - they cut so deep
17
Black as night, as black as coal,
18
Black as thoughts that cast a shadow
19
Right across my soul
20
I thought that you were my friend
21
Until you picked up that poison pen
