This Side Of Love — текст песни (Terence Trent D`arby)

We`re on the negative side of love
I`m subject to all bizarre whims she fancies
I`m running escape to find the handle
Of the door she locks me up in
She`s on the laughing side of sin
What have I done in all my past lives
(To end up on) This side of Love?

We`re on a permanent twist of fate
She has dominion over time and torture
I`m pinching myself to convince me that
I`m in a living nightmare
The killer attraction of a dare
What have I done, emasculation
(To end up on) This side of Love?

If I should stay
(Will the beat go on?)
I must be strong
(We tell you every day)
Will I return
(To normal lovers again?)
Please peel my skin
(`Cause my soul is burning)

We`re on a roundabout whirl of scorn
The demons are smiling and the angels snoring
I feel like a stepchild Caeser that`s been
Beaten and bruised to please her
Wearing a rusted ring of thorns
What have I done to piss the Gods off
(To end up on) This side of Love?

If I should stay
(Will the beat go on?)
I must be strong
(We tell you every day)
Will I return
(To normal lovers again?)
Please peel my skin
(`Cause my soul is burning)

We`re on the negative side of love
I see my condition as a sign of service
I`ll snuggle up close to her knowing
That I`m practising my religion
Warming the barrel of a gun

This will be the deed that finds me next time

(On this side of)
(On this side of)
(On this side of) This side of Love
