Saphir - “Shot In The Night” (instrumental) (Germany EMI) 1985

Written and produced by Walter Gerke and Mick Hannes. Arranged by Mick Hannes.
Not to be confused with the German girl group, Saphir, this particular Saphir were three German males who were active recording artists in the mid-80s. Their debut album, “Perfect Combination” was released in 1985. It gave rise to two German hit singles, “Shot In The Dark (#37, 1985) and “I Am Alive” (#46, 1986). The album also featured a revival of Redbone’s “Witch Queen Of New Orleans”.

Here we are in a room full of smoke and sweet perfume
Just two faces only lit by neonsign
All I Know is your name , but I don't know how we came
Jack Daniel's brought us to the frame of mind
You were young, you were proud, you were smart, you were pretty
And I'm a moonlight bandit as you see
But my game is your fun, you're daughter of the gun
I guess you know exactly what you're doing to me
Shot in the night, she was a brown- eyed sweet popato
Shot in the night,well her gifts, it would please you
Shot in the night,I never realized the punch she threw at me
Shot in the night,every system was just loaded
Shot in the night,and I was hit when she exploded
Shot in the night,closing my eyes I fell and sank beneath the sea
That shot in the night
INTRO
You're a girl , I'm a man do you really understand
That the moves you make just take my breath away
But I know on my own, loved and live and love alone
You're too young for me no matter what you say
I should try to forget but I can't keep my distance
Though sometimes giving up is hard to do
One more touch lets me down my intentions all around
I don't know what to do I'm falling in love with you
Shot in the night, she was a brown- eyed sweet popato
Shot in the night,well her gifts, it would please you
Shot in the night,I never realized the punch she threw at me
Shot in the night,every system was just loaded
Shot in the night,and I was hit when she exploded
Shot in the night,closing my eyes I fell and sank beneath the sea
That shot in the night
INTRO
You were young, you were proud, you were smart, you were pretty
And I'm a moonlight band it as you see
But my game is your fun, you're daughter of the gun
I guess you know exactly what you're doing to me
Shot in the night, she was a brown- eyed sweet popato
well her gifts, it would please you
I never realized the punch she threw at me
every system was just loaded
and I was hit when she exploded
closing my eyes I fell and sank beneath the sea
That shot in the night

Great song, great band, great album... I never understood why this band didn't play after they released such a good album...
