RevengeJohn Parr

Songwriter: John Parr

Producer: John Parr

Did you say it for effect, or was it true, dont tell me, I can guess
Ive sailed your seas of lies, but floundered on the rocks, Im drowning

I was walking on the wire, one look at you and it could light my fire
Burning up in your desire, theres just one thing pulling me through

Revenge, I thought youd be here forever, sharing a future thats gone
I know its over, but still the fight goes on
Revenge, one for the lost and the lonely, ending each day with if only
You left me cold, Im the victim now youve gone

Revenge, I need revenge

Did you see the way she looked, the way she smiled, Ive seen it all before
I could write a book, Id like to kiss and tell, or shout it

I was walking on the wire, one look at you and it could light my fire
Burning up in your desire, theres just one thing pulling me through

Revenge, I thought youd be here forever, sharing a future thats gone
I know its over, but still the fight goes on
Revenge, one for the lost and the lonely, ending each day with if only
You left me cold, Im the victim now youve gone

Revenge, I need revenge, Im taking revenge, I need revenge

Ive got to find a new direction, Im searching for the right connection
Youre clawing me back, but Im working on a new attack

Revenge, I thought youd be here forever, sharing a future thats gone
I know its over, but still the fight goes on
Revenge, one for the lost and the lonely, ending each day with if only
You left me cold, Im the victim now youve gone

Revenge, I thought youd never deceive me, you and you fooled all along
I just want more than the victory that youve won
Revenge, one for the lost and the lonely...

John Parr

John Parr (born 18 November 1952) is a Grammy-nominated English musician, best known for his 1985 US #1 single “St. Elmo’s Fire (Man in Motion)” and for his 1984 single “Naughty Naughty” (US Rock #1). Parr was nominated for a Grammy award for “St Elmo’s Fire” in 1985.

Parr first entered the music scene when he was 12 years old and formed a band with two fellow schoolmates, which they named The Silence. The band had achieved some success. They eventually became professional and started to tour Europe. He then joined a band named Bitter Suite who were a huge success in the working men’s clubs in Yorkshire, he then formed a “Super Band” with musicians from other working men’s club bands, and named the band Ponders End , a band that set a new precedent for the bands in the north.

Parr secured a publishing deal with Carlin America in 1983 and in the same year Meat Loaf asked him to write some songs for his new album. It led to a fateful meeting with John Wolff, who was tour manager for The Who. Foreseeing the initial demise of The Who, Wolff was looking for a new venture and considered Parr to be a suitable partner. Parr first visited America in 1984 and worked with Meat Loaf on Bad Attitude. Meanwhile, Wolff secured Parr’s solo Atlantic recording deal in New York.
