Soft Cell - Secret Life Lyrics






In your little black book
You've got the names
And the favourite persuasions
Of the people in the headlines
I'm in there under A
And I'm rated under B
You've got photographs to prove it
And I swear to God it's not me
You've got a hard heart
Being hard is your art
You think love is a dirty dirty word
You pick up the phone
And you ring me when I'm at home
And then you put it down
And I'm reaching for my valium

My secret life
Living life
On a knife edge of life
Tell my wife
And she's just had a breakdown
And I
I'm not rich
But you know I'm top in my pitch
And you'll ruin the lot
Finish everything I've got
My secret life
Secret life

I'll give you anything
Anything to shut you up
Why do you hate me so much
What have I ever done to you
But leave you

I don't want to play
Cat and Mouse
Have the neighbours looking over At my house
All the secret smiles
When I walk in the room
And I think I'm going to
Crack up soon
I'm going to run away
Find a place in the dark
Where I don't have to hear
The nasty nasty talk

Change my sex
Change my hair
Be hard to find anywhere

My secret life
Living life
On a knife edge of life
Tell my wife
And she's just had a breakdown
And I
I'm not rich
But you know I'm top in my pitch
And you'll ruin the lot
Finish everything I've got
My secret life
Secret life

My secret life
My secret life
My secret life
My secret life
My secret life

  10. g.... ....

    To hell with these blasted adverts forcing themselves upon us at the beginning of fabulous videos like this one. This advertising crap pollutes & initially postpones our rightful access to such classic cherished pieces such as this one.

    g.... ....

    galaxion62 while I agree, some advertising helps the economy. we wouldn’t want another Great Depression!

    g.... ....

    @reo max , Yes I'm all in favour of avoiding any depressions!... it's just that these adverts seem so forceful. Not just on here, but what ever webpage we may click on, usually ends up with the whole page being greyed out by some advert to sign up to this, that, or the other!.

  11. E.... U....

    This should have 6 billion views this album was amazing better than anything commercial today.

    F.... L....

    I agree! I do wish Soft Cell were bigger, but I do like how they have a cult following, I consider myself glad to be a dedicated fan of theirs

  15. B.... H....

    Met a few married men over the years..

  16. m.... ....

    His voice sounds very pure and young here. I’d forgotten how great this song is. Can’t stop listening to it now!

    mazzymuso that whole album and the art of falling apart were amazing 😉

    Marc is one of my vocal heroes! Non Stop Erotic Cabaret is easily one of my favorite albums ever

  17. T.... T....

    My fave of theirs, excellent track. One of the best and most underrated groups.

    T.... T....

    Amen dude! My personal favorite besides Sex Dwarf! Such an underrated group. I admire Marc and Dave quite a bit, and they honestly deserve more praise than just Tainted Love.

  18. M.... V....

    Doesn’t the beginning sound like Sugar Pie Honey Bunch by the Four Tops?

    M.... V....

    They liked Northern Soul including Motown so there's a strong possibility they may have used that as an influence for the song.

  19. H.... R....

    Non Stop Erotic Cabaret is up there as one of my favorite albums of all time next to Purple Rain, not a bad track on this!

  20. m.... ....

    The BEST Soft Cell song!
