Lyrics The Proclaimers

The Proclaimers

When Love Struck You Down

So you're back on top again

Proving everybody wrong

but I recall the days

You didn't feel so strong

When love struck you down

You thought that you were bound to die

From all the pain inside

When love struck you down

When they were handing out the brains

You were at the head of the queue

But once she got inside your heart

They were no use to you

When love struck you down

No one else was fooled

Fear and madness ruled

When love struck you down

You weren't there

when she was everywhere

Her face, her name

But no matter what you said

She never felt the same

When love struck you down

Oh how hard you prayed

But God didn't come to your aid

When love struck you down

When love struck you down

You felt like you were bound to die

From all the pain inside

When love struck you down

When love struck you down

No one else was fooled

Fear and madness ruled

When love struck you down
