Bronski Beat - Punishment For Love Lyrics
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
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

Bronski Beat Punishment For Love Comments
When this song was recorded the homosexual age of consent was 21, but homosexuality was more socially stigmatized than what it is today and so most parents would have discouraged their children from being gay even after that age.
One's of my favourite song of 80's
yep my life.
i'm straight married with kids , now and you no what this song can be described in many ways , loss of freedoms for a start and suppression in this hell hole called the uk now
Unfortunately, this was a biography of my life in 1986 and this song was a comfort. Although this song and my life is just coincidence, my parents locked me up at home, I was not allowed to have friends, not allowed to talk on the phone, I was only allowed to go to school and return. When I turned 18 and everyone was away I took all my stuff and quickly left.
Some parents tend to worry about their children's safety more than others.
...very good song...
Awesome - this was one of my favorite albums! Do you have Truthdare Doubledare (the song)?
