Razorlight - Hostage Of Love Lyrics






You make yourself a prisoner of me
You blind yourself so you don't have to see
You turn your life to a power above
You make yourself a hostage of love

You turn from me, you turn from the strain
Devote yourself to the power again
Distance yourself from all that we vowed
You broke those rules, you're my hostage now

I am a sinner and I am a saint
I am a devil, I am a ghost at the wake
God feed the swell and pull of your tears as they break
I am the limit of the load you can take

You are the pulley and I am the winch
I am salvation and you're herald of sin
I'll take you beyond your limits of trust
Ransom yourself, hostage of love

You see we've been born again
Since you've slept there in that lion's den, den
You can not be saved
You gave your innocence away, ohh

I've turned my cheek and I've suffered the blow
Truth of my story is widely unknown
Word of derision, I have swallowed with a smile
For telling my story I have been crucified

Now like a mad man, I give my laurels to you
Like a hero, forsake my trophies for you
No where disciple of this devil that is in the blood
Am I not also your hostage of love?

You see we've all been born again
Since you've slept there in that lion's den, den
You can not be turned
Until your innocence is old

And you seek out to live alone
Though it hurts to make it on your own, own
You cannot be saved
You gave your innocence away, ohh

You will be made a hostage of love
Hostage of love, hostage of love

  1. R.... P....

    This is music.

  2. I.... ....

    I heard this song for the first time in a restaurant in Russia that was uncannily empty for dinnertime. It was surreal, and this amazing song just caught my attention. The restaurant was themed around “American” style food, and the menus and signs and music were all in English, and the waitress spoke English very well, and it was very comforting to our little group of Americans who were starting to feel quite homesick.

  3. M.... ....

    You cannot be saved you gave your innocence away.....what a tune

  4. T.... C....

    I am a sinner but you slep inlion's den

  5. D.... ....

    01:13 YOU ARE THE PUDDING!

    D.... ....

    It's pulley not pudding 😂 cos it goes you are the pulley I am the winch as in a pulley pulley and winch system

  6. f.... m....

    It's a bulk of energy and faith, you can't eschew the strength and the goodness of these works because each song looks inspired and suitable for whatever mood; no matter how many bands you have been through so far and no matter if you got let down by the way some artists build up melodies and rhythm. I feel particularly attached to their vibes because they catch every heart, if you deem yourself as coldhearted you'll be totally changed and thrust by a song like the above. There's a lot of things to argue about but nothing comes better than appreciating Razorlight and affording a leap or a swim into their blockbuster compositions, fairly.

  7. b.... f....

    You are the pulley and i am the winch? just got to convince our lass!

  8. B.... ....

    Damn your country as well, it may contain intellectually inferior trolls.

  9. H.... R....

    Damn americans. English being a very useful language, thats why most of the people know how to speak it, besides their first language, and many others perhaps for the very intellectual. But you barely can speak your own :/. Dont hate on you americans, i just feel like you could be a lot better.

  10. V.... V....

    Why only one like is allowed? This song deserves a lot more then just one.

  11. R.... W....

    why not play with coldplay?

  12. N.... B....

    Well I did have the fuckin album. I remember it was a clock and I thought the cd looked good.

  14. Z.... ....

    google translate

  15. y.... ....

    @archiejunior Because, when you find you'll appreciate it, it's like finding money in the right pocket of your old jacket, always a good feeling.

  28. M.... A....

    @whoareyoukiding thanx ;)

  29. w.... ....

    @MMarliesx I think it means different things to everyone but to me it is about cheating, like the part about "you cannot return until your innocence is earned".. and about the sacrifices you willingly and lovingly make for someone you love and vice versa.. but for me here it is about the singer being with someone who s already in a realtionship.. and that is me now..

  30. M.... A....
