Legendary German hard rock band. Scorpions formed in the late 60's and released several progressive rock albums with Michael Schenker(who left to join UFO) before recruiting lead guitarist Uli Jon Roth, who helped push the band into a harder direction. The 70's output of Scorpions represented a bold, innovative new force in heavy metal, but poor promotion in the US by their label, RCA, prevented the band from making a breakthrough. In the 80's Scorpions began moving in a more commercial direction, causing Roth to leave to pursue his own solo career. With a new label, Mercury, and a new guitarist in the talented Matthias Jabs, Scorpions began to enjoy considerable chart success with their involvement in the booming glam metal phenomenon.

His Latest Flame Lyrics

Scorpions

Music :doc pomus
Lyrics:mort shuman

A very old friend
Came by today
'cause he was telling everyone in town
About the love he just found
And marie's the name of his latest flame

He talked and talked
And i heard him say
That she had the longest, blackest hair
The prettiest green eyes anywhere
And marie's the name of his latest flame

Though i smiled the tears inside were a burning
I wish him luck, and then he said goodbye
He was gone, but still his words kept returning
What else was there for me to do but cry

Would you believe that yesterday
This girl was in my arms and sworn to me
She'd be mine eternally
And marie's the name of his latest flame

Though i smiled the tears inside were a burning
I wish him luck, and then he said goodbye
He was gone, but still his words kept returning
What else was there for me to do but cry

Would you believe that yesterday
This girl was in my arms and sworn to me
She'd be mine eternally
And marie's the name of his latest flame

And marie's the name of his latest flame
And marie's the name of his latest flame
