Bronski Beat - Why? Lyrics






Contempt in your eyes when I turn to kiss his lips
Broken I lie, all my feelings denied, blood on your fist

Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?

You in your false securities
Tear up my life, condemning me
Name me an illness, call me a sin
Never feel guilty, never give in

Tell me why?
Tell me why?
Tell me why?
Tell me why?
Yeah!

You and me together, fighting for our love
You and me together, fighting for our love
You and me together, fighting for our love
You and me together, fighting for our love

You and me together, fighting for our love
You and me together, fighting for our love
You and me together, fighting for our love
You and me together, fighting for our love

Contempt in your eyes when I turn to kiss his lips
Broken I lie, all my feelings denied, blood on your fist

Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?

Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?

Can you tell me why?

Bronski Beat Why? Comments
  1. K.... P....

    Trust Jimmy to behind a sausage counter

  2. T.... P....

    Haha! Luv this track! Is this Boy George without makeup or a super young Michael Keaton? Just kidding! My 80's GPal got me this track for my BDay once. I ran outside and started dancing in the front yard. Was I naked?

  3. v.... ....

    The guy in the blue flannel shirt is pretty cute.

    I saw Bronski Beat off the 60 E Freeway in La Puente between the years of 1990 & 1993. I was 6 feet away a night that i will always remember looking forward for a return back to Los Angeles, California
    Thank You for that night.

  5. C.... H....

    Brilliant track! Up there with anything from the 80s and still sounding good in 2019.

  6. M.... B....

    Dreadful video. Classic song. That carried note by Somerville at the end...wow.

    M.... B....

    haha it's the 80's baby

  7. H.... ....

    Jimmy Somerville is basically Tintin if he had been created by a left-wing Hergé and officially admiting he's gay. :p

  8. G.... P....

    Awesome classic 80s

  9. T.... A....

    This is one particular song that resonates having grown up as a J.W., the most powerful in lyrics aside to Smalltown Boy, both songs are like anthems for being gay for sure.

  10. W.... P....

    Rest in peace Larry! My condolences go to your family and Bronski Beat!💐🕊❤

    LOL!! Remember dancing my ass to this in the 80s at Lazers nightclub in Torquay on a Sunday night - first club in the country to have lasers if I remember rightly. But all that mattered was it was free to get in on a Sunday. It was packed! Met my first real love there (Linda Squire - hi there Linda!!). Ah, the memories, what I wouldn't give to be back in those days, 18 years old, whole life ahead of me, my health, with no worries. And big hair of course!!

    D.... M....

    I got more education from this man no matter what group he was in, he taught me to be true to my feelings. Now I am and have. I'm the happiest I've ever been!
    It's time to pick our flags and Prides need to become a political battle ground again. This countries human rights are on a course of direct conflict. Time to stop just partying... time to march again
    With love and Pride, Forever on and on !
