White Lies - The Price Of Love Lyrics






"Don't lay a finger" I said but he held her with five
Kissed the crest of her lips
And put his hands on her thigh
"One million in a week or the girl's gonna go"
"I'd kill you in a second" He laughed "Yeah I know"

I won eight hundred thousand on a game show
But it's not enough to win her back
As my tears hit the floor he still said "No"
"Come on man give me some slack"
I looked at the case he said "I'll show you her blood"
I screamed down the phoneline
"So is this the price of love?"

When I stare in your eyes I see the image of God
Well girl listen out for the phonecall and pray for a flood
I called at a quarter past nine and said "I've done all I can"
He said "You win some you lose some I feel bad for you man"
He slammed down the phone and took his coat from the bed
She said "What happens now" "Well to your husband you're dead"
She said "I love you" and pleaded for her hero to stay
But knew deep inside that he'd planned it this way

"I gave him my heart now he's left it to die
And I know I can't go back"
He walked out the room shouted "See you around"
She begged "Come on give me some slack"
He said "There's no hope but babe you can wait for that dove"
She screamed from the window
"So is this the price of love?"

So is this the price of love?

    The best songs are those that tell a story for you to get captivated by and let your imagination run free, like a good book.

    M.... S....

    Amazing album

  17. C.... W....

    the price of loaf

  18. k.... k....

    they are ultra vox and joy division great work lads

    k.... k....

    Ultravox. The most underrated and eidolon, influencial synth band of all time.

    k.... k....

    Right on. I consider White Lies and H.U.R.T.S. the heirs of Joy Division / New Order :)

  19. J.... B....

    you win some you lose some I feel bad for you man.

  20. D.... S....

    Z.... M....

    @Zeta Moore Hi, i see that's an old comment but i can't let to share with you this. Search for a guy called "Renato Russo" he was a great bazilian musician, some of his songs tell great stories, i recomend you to listen this.

  36. i.... v....

    wowww!?!

  37. R.... ....

    Saw them live last night at the Roundhouse. Gutted they didn't play this, but damn, what an awesome gig. Loved the new stuff and they played a good mix of all three albums, and the crowd was brilliant.

  38. A.... G....

    looking forward to see them in vienna at 13.11.2013 with my daughter;)
    will show her a great band at the beginning of their big rising

    Brian Lee Three years later and I still ask that question myself!

  43. W.... ....

    Love the lyrics and his voice.

  44. c.... ....

    This isn't goodbye, it's only the beginning of our relationship. I expect you to wash my car this weekend.

  45. c.... ....

    No, it's not alright. You need my consent. File the proper paperwork next time.

  46. c.... ....

    My point is to call you out for an unoriginal post. And you aren't expressing yourself, because you didn't create those lyrics. Write your own damn thoughts next time if you want to express yourself.

  47. c.... ....

    What is your point? That you can regurgitate lyrics? Nitwit.

  48. T.... ....

    Harry...Hogwarts......One Direction......., No.

    @TURKsKILLEDJESUS -_____-

  77. L.... R....

    Seen them live 3 times, they played this once in those 3 gigs, at the stadium of light. I was the only one singing. Fantastic story, defo the "best kept musical secret of 09"

  78. p.... ....

    @TURKsKILLEDJESUS still trying to figure out how this makes sense...

  79. T.... ....

    @FullPolychrome The kidnapper's attitude sounded like he hated what he was doing, except he owed the girl a favour - like when he took his coat and replied "To your husband you're dead." It was a 'my work is done' tone that I heard it with. He clearly didn't agree with what the woman was doing.

  80. C.... B....

    The story of the song is: The husband has to collect money for a ransom, as his wife has been "kidnapped".
    The wife hasn't been truly kidnapped though, she's staging it to test her husband to see if he loves her enough to win her back, or else to escape a relationship she resents.
    Partway through this staged kidnapping she falls for the "kidnapper". That's why she "pleaded for her hero to stay", because she's left her husband and lost the man she began to love all at once.

  81. S.... A....

    @NatBassDude I think you hit the nail on the head their pal.

  82. o.... ....

    This song is so awesome and deep <3

  83. C.... S....

    his voice is divineeeeeee

  84. M.... J....

    love it XD

  85. L.... ....

    This song captured my heart the minute it came on, I'm in love! <3

  86. M.... J....

    this just shows how awesome white lies are :)

  87. M.... J....

    ive just heard this song know every other song by white lies but its really good :)
    love it actually ;)

  88. k.... ....

    so is this the price of love?

  89. T.... ....

    @NatBassDude Doesn't really matter what it is about, but many of the lyrics of sound like a case of hostage taking/kidnapping gone wrong. The "She said I love you and pleaded for her hero to stay" sounds like Stockholm Syndrome. It really doesn't sound like if they were having an affair the man would just kill/abandon her.

    Just my thoughts...

  90. 0.... ....

    Their best song period

  91. b.... l....

    @IIpaooliinaII so true, we are the best

  92. p.... ....

    @michaelwesten805
    Not their style? Hahaha

  93. p.... ....

    @BarbaricAxel
    In other words its not the 'ransom' its the pain it causes. or the suffering you go through for it. :)

  94. A.... K....

    i think this songs about buying shoe's for midgets :)

  95. E.... ....

    Im sorry, but the last 2000 "views" was me just hitting the replay button the last 2 days straight :) i absolutely love this song, and group!

  96. L.... ....

    This song is so haunting, it makes me shiver every time I listen to it!!

  97. M.... ....

    This song's definitely their best. I think it's about a woman who staged a kidnapping, having her husband/boyfriend collect a million dollars and pay her 'kidnapper', her new lover, so they could leave town together. But it didn't work out, her new lover left her, and she realizes now she can never go back to the one who really loved her and is left all alone, praying for 'that dove'. Amazing stuff.

  98. R.... ....

    White Lies is coming to Estonia next month!
