Sheena Easton (born Sheena Shirley Orr, 27 April 1959) is a pop singer originally from Bellshill, Scotland. Sheena became famous for being the subject of the UK TV programme "The Big Time", a late 70s reality TV series which recorded her attempts to gain a record contract. She suceeded spectacularly by having TWO singles in the UK chart at the same time in early 1980. The rest is history... Trivia: In the entire James Bond series, Sheena is the only artist seen performing a song in the title sequence, with "For Your Eyes Only".

Prisoner Lyrics

Sheena Easton

Time has come to say goodbye to broken memories
Locked inside like prisoners, in a place that no one sees

Chorus:
I'm a prisoner, go on and lock myself away
Just a prisoner, lonely, lonely
I'm a prisoner, just when you think love will stay
It walks right out on you, out on you (oooh)

Stayed up late with a friend of mine, sodden comfort till dawn
Talked about the pain of love, should've known from the start you were wrong

chorus

The sky is grey, it's rainin', like the storm in my heart
There ain't no use explainin', 'cause I'm leavin', leavin', leavin', gone

(Instrumental break)

Tired blood runs through my veins, but I can't get no sleep
Locked my heart in these prison walls, this place I got to leave

chorus repeats 2x

(I'm a prisoner) Oh, you gotta let me go
(Just a prisoner) Just can't take no more (lonely, lonely)
(I'm a prisoner) Oh, you gotta let me leave
(Walks right out on you) Out on you

chorus to fade
