Biography
In August 2006 four high school girls from Osaka, Japan started a band called SCANDAL. They started performing almost every weekend in Shiroten and later at clubs and musical venues, by doing so they became more and more recognised in all of Japan. In August 2007 Tower Records approached them, and a couple of months later they came to an agreement. In 2008 they released three singles in three consecutive months. After the release of their first mini-album, due to the low number of units Tower Records produced, SCANDAL signed a contract with Sony's daughter company Epic Records in September 2008.

Scandal is a rock band from the 1980s fronted by Patty Smyth. The band scored a hit in the US with the song “The Warrior”, which peaked at #7 in 1984. Other minor hits included “Goodbye to You” (1982 - #65 US), “Love’s Got A Line On You” (1983 - #59 US), and “Hands Tied” (1984 - #41 US).
Scandal was formed in New York City in 1981 by guitarist Zack Smith, who also wrote most of the band’s hits. The other initial members included: bassist Ivan Elias (1950-1995), guitarist Keith Mack, guitarist Jon Bon Jovi (briefly), keyboardist Benjy King, drummer Frankie LaRocka, and vocalist Patty Smyth. Thommy Price later replaced LaRocka on drums.
The band had much success early on but due to struggles within the group and their record company, it slowly dissolved—losing member after member. By the time “The Warrior” tour hit the road in 1984, all that remained of the original lineup were Smyth and Mack. Scandal broke up shortly after the tour ended in 1985. The group (minus Ivan Elias, who died of cancer in June 1995) reunited in 2004 for VH1’s Bands Reunited show and did a string of concerts on the United States East Coast culminating in a show at Irving Plaza in their home city (New York) on February 9, 2005. During the summer of 2006, the band (excluding Thommy Price) reunited again for VH1’s “We Are The 80’s” tour, playing a string of large - mainly outdoor - venues and earning critical acclaim. During the summer and fall of 2007, they toured again (this time without Zack Smith).
In July 2008, Billboard reported the upcoming release of new music by Patty Smyth and Scandal (featuring original members Keith Mack and Benjy King). At a performance in Dewey Beach, DE on August 3, 2008, Smyth indicated Scandal would be releasing a new five song EP in the near future. Scandal also performed one of their new songs, “Trust In Me”. Other new titles include “Make It Hard” and “End Of The Girl”. Patty Smyth & Scandal debuted their first single as a band (“Hard For You To Love Me”, also referred to as “Make It Hard”) in over 24 years on January 17, 2009 in Ridgefield, CT to a standing ovation. Patty Smyth stated the song will be available to purchase digitally in February 2009, with the new EP to follow shortly. However, the single has been delayed to late 2009 as the EP will expanded to a full length album according to Patty Smyth’s blog in May 2009.

We're together, gettin' better all the time
And there are words I say when we hide away
Makes him crazy, makes him love me all the time
And no one knows

And now
Love is gonna getcha
Love is gonna find ya
Love is right behind ya
Love has got a line on you
When I close my eyes
Oh the time slips by
Cause I can see him oh so clearly in my mind
And it's so real, this love I feel
It's a mystery
But it's clear to me
Don't you know that
Love is gonna getcha
Love is gonna find ya
Love is right behind ya
Love has got a line you
It's got a line on you
Baby love has got line on you
So some know why
I'm the only one
It's a mystery
But it's clear to see
Whoa tell her that
Love is gonna getcha

Line by Line Meaning
Now there's a place I go with a boy I know
I have a specific place I go with someone I am dating
We're together, gettin' better all the time
We spend time together and our relationship is improving
And there are words I say when we hide away
When we are alone, I say things to him that make him fall deeper in love with me
Makes him crazy, makes him love me all the time
My words and actions lead him to feel passionately about me all the time
And no one knows
No one fully understands
How love goes
The nature of love is not fully understood
It's a mystery
It's something that is not easily explained or understood
But it's clear to me
In my experience, it is quite evident
And now
At this moment in time
Love is gonna getcha
Love will impact you in some way
Love is gonna find ya
Love will come your way and affect you
Love is right behind ya
Love is lurking and waiting to impact you
Love has got a line on you
Love has taken notice of you and is going to impact you in some way
When I close my eyes
When I shut my eyes and imagine
Oh the time slips by
Time seems to go by effortlessly
Cause I can see him oh so clearly in my mind
I can clearly visualize the person I am dating in my head
And it's so real, this love I feel
The love I am experiencing feels genuine and authentic
It's a mystery
Love is still not something fully understood
Don't you know that
Don't you understand that
It's got a line on you
Love has identified you specifically
Baby love has got line on you
You have caught the attention of someone who may be in love with you
So some know why
No one is quite sure why
I'm the only one
I am the only one experiencing this specific situation
It's a mystery
It's something that is not easily explained or understood
But it's clear to see
Despite the mystery, it is clear that something is happening
Whoa tell her that
The singer is requesting that something be communicated to someone else
It's got a line on you
Love has taken notice of you
It's gonna find you
Love will eventually come into your life
Love has got a line on
Love has identified and taken notice of you
It's got a line on you
Love has specifically targeted you
Love is gonna getcha
Love will eventually impact your life
Love is gonna find ya
Love will come your way in some capacity
Love is right behind you baby
Love is always lurking and has the potential to affect you
Love has got a line on you
Love has identified you specifically and will impact your life in some capacity

This is a hidden gem from the first Scandal album. Beautifully written and arranged and what a melody. Patty Smyth has got a killer, bluesy voice
JimmyDaKoik
This song isn't a hidden gem. The first Scandal album was an EP that had five or so songs. This song and "Goodbye To You" were the two that got air play. They were also the two main songs featured in a commercial for the EP, as that's how I heard about them. That EP was one of, if not the first, cassette I was old enough to buy on my own. I must have been 12. :)
Arlene Bowers
@JimmyDaKoik He was just saying his opinion. Why the critique? I was in my 30's when this was popular. I don't compare it with the 70's musicians that I admire. I don't compare it to the other 80's singers/bands. I just enjoy it for what it is. If I has not heard many of the songs by this artist then I would say something as this person said. Instead of being a person that must make all things exact and a critic of others I just enjoy and let people feel what they feel. As long as they are happy, what does it matter!
JimmyDaKoik
@Arlene Bowers The claim that it was a hidden gem from the first album implies that it was overshadowed by other songs on the album.. It wasn't. It was one of the two songs from a five song EP that got airplay. It has nothing to do with opinions.
Also it's a great song! :)
Arlene Bowers
@JimmyDaKoik Thanks for clearing it up.
Richard Lahan
I think this is a slightly different arrangement than the one she sang on their promo video.

goldflakechallenger
