Guitarist Zack Smith formed the mainstream pop/rock band Scandal after playing in various groups, including ones that featured Dee Murray and Davey Johnson of the Elton John band. Scandal's lineup was secured in 1982, with the addition of vocalist Patty Smyth; the rest of the band included bassist Ivan Elias, guitarist Keith Mack, keyboardist Benji King, and drummer Frankie La Rocka. After opening for acts like the Kinks and Hall & Oates, the band released their debut single, "Goodbye to You," in 1982; their self-titled debut album followed soon afterward. The Warrior was released two years later. The title track was a Top Ten hit and the album went platinum. However, Smyth left for a solo career the following year, causing the band to break up.
Lyrics:
You run, run...run away It's your heart...that you betray Feeding on...your hungry eyes I bet you're not so civilized Well, isn't love..primitive A wild gift...that you wanna give Break out of captivity And follow me, stereo jungle child Love is the kill.....your heart's still wild Chorus: Shootin' at the walls of heartache, bang, bang, I am the warrior Well I am the warrior, and heart to heart you'll win..if you survive the warrior....the warrior You talk, talk, you talk to me Your eyes touch me physically Stay with me, we'll take the night As passion takes another bite Who's the hunter...who's the game? I feel the beat...call your name I hold you close...in victory I don't wanna tame your animal style.. you won't be caged...in the call of the wild.... Repeat Chorus Shootin' at the walls of heartache (shootin' at the walls of heartache) The warrior..... I am the warrior, and heart to heart you'll win heart to heart you'll win...if you survive The warrior...the warrior shootin' at the walls of heartache, bang, bang, I am the warrior yes I am the warrior and victory is mine The warrior...the warriorLyrics:
