Punishment for Love

Bronski Beat

    Continues after the ad

    Rejected for no reason
    He finds it easy to cry
    Another day that pases
    How he tries to hide
    Confused with how he's feeling
    Ends up wanting much more
    Waits for the bell to ring
    But no-one's at the door.
    Living in a jail house
    A cell of his own
    Will he ever have his freedom
    Inside of his home?
    And the warden is his father
    The watcher his mum
    Under lock and key
    Until he's 21

    Uncertain where he's going
    Uncertain of his love
    Uncertain what is coming
    Is this the punishment for love?

    Continues after the ad

    They gave him everything he wanted
    And a little bit more
    But nothing seems to please him
    He stares at the floor
    Watching from the window
    His friends passing by
    Wishing he could be there (never satisfied)
    Living in a jailhouse
    A cell of his own
    Will he ever have his freedom
    Inside of his home
    The judge it is his father
    The jury his mum
    He'll just have to serve his sentence
    Until he's 21

    Well you know
    Time waits for no-one
    Got a pace of its own
    The dawning of an idea
    To go it alone
    Longing for adventure
    Fear of the unknown
    Trying to find the courage
    Make a break of his own
    Fleeing from that jailhouse
    His heart full of hope
    There's a ride waiting for him
    To take him to the smoke
