This song is about a teen-age boy who catches his dad in bed with his girlfriend. A totally taboo subject that I tackled in 1987, with my co-writer, Richard Freeze, in Los Angeles.
lyrics
SHARE-Y-ANNE
(Strider/Freeze)
I kicked the screen door down
Never touched the ground
Heart pounding out of my chest
Hot blood cursing through my flesh
Was it real? Was it a dream?
My father’s sighs and a young girl’s screams
Through a crack in the bedroom door
I heard you cryin’ out for more
Share-Y-Anne
I will never be the same
Share-Y-Anne
You took a ride on the family name
Now there’s no one left to trust
Never thought I could hurt so much
Share-Y-Anne
You killed my heart
Yeah, yeah, yeah
All your promises
Breakin’ up inside my head
And a father I looked up to
Tumbling down with you
Was it real? Was it a dream?
A flash of skin in a passion scene
I can’t believe that it was you
I wanna know, who made the move
Share-Y-Anne
I will never be the same
Share-Y-Anne
You took a ride on the family name
Now there’s no one left to trust
Never thought I could hurt this much
Share-Y-Anne
You killed my heart
(Instrumental interlude - electric guitar - Corky James)
(spoken) “Get me outta here”
You had my whole life
He had a son
Not anymore
I’m gone forever___
