Highly Strung

Highly Strung - Spandau Ballet

This is the song of little Jo

She's not the girl I used to know

Forever screaming all the day and night

She used to be a diplomat

But now she's down the laundromat

They washed her mind

And now she finds it hard

I know her name

But now she never seems the same

She don't talk to me

'Cause she can't take no sympaty

Because she's highly strung

Oh highly strung she's undone

Highly strung

Oh highly strung she's undone

She's stepping out upon the ledge

She's got a gun against her

She's wired up to blow

The power line

She's walking out upon the knife

She'll take you to the edge of life

Just like the song

The pressure is on again

I know her name

But now she never seems the same

She don't talk to me

'Cause she can't take no sympaty

Because she's highly strung

Oh highly strung she's undone

Highly strung

Oh highly strung she's undone

I know her name

But now she never seems the same

She don't talk to me

'Cause she can't take no sympaty

Because she's highly strung

Oh highly strung Oh highly strung she's undone

Highly strung

She is Highly

Oh highly strung she's undone

Highly strung

Highly strung

Oh highly strung she's undone

Highly strung

She's highly

Oh highly strung she's undone

This is the song of little Jo

She's not the girl I used to know
