BRONSKI BEAT - Punishment for Love lyrics

Truthdare Doubledare

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?

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
