Songoftheday 11/13/12 - If I were to say to you "can you keep a secret?", would you know just what to do or where to keep it...

ABC - "Poison Arrow"
from the album The Lexicon Of Love (1982)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #25 (three weeks)
Weeks in the top-40: 8

Today's Song of the Day is by the suave British new wave band ABC, who scored their first hit in America with "The Look Of Love (Part 1)" at the beginning of 1983. The followup to that in the States was actually the first one in England, "Poison Arrow", the epic bitter track that is the highlight of the album's first side...

"Poison Arrow" was the band's second top-40 hit on both the pop and the dance chart, and was a #6 smash back home in England.
