![]() Boys And Girls (1985) [ larger cover art ] |
Tell her I'll be waiting
In the usual place
With the tired and weary
And there's no escape
To need a woman
You've got to know
How the strong get weak
And the rich get poor
Slave to love
Slave to love
You're running with me
Don't touch the ground
We're restless hearted
Not the chained and bound
The sky is burning
A sea of flame
Though your world is changing
I will be the same
Slave to love
Slave to love
Slave to love
Slave to love
And I can't escape
I'm a slave to love
The storm is breaking
Or so it seems
We're too young to reason
Too grown up to dream
Now spring is turning
Your face to mine
I can hear your laughter
I can see your smile
Slave to love
Slave to love
And I can't escape
I'm a slave to love
Slave to love
Slave to love
And I can't escape
I'm a slave to love
Slave to love
And I can't escape
I'm a slave to love
Slave to love
And I can't escape
I'm a slave to love
Slave to love
And I can't escape
I'm a slave to love

If there's "nothing wrong with that", and you can't believe that the actual song has a sexual preference, then why do you use "gay" as a pejorative? Idiot. |
| mattrettig | Posted: Mar 17, 2013 - 15:20 I can't stand Bryan Ferry...Seriously...his music is just so BORING! Someone wake me up when this song is over. |

Whatever that means. How old are you - 13? Bryan Ferry was pretty schmaltzy and dull to me by this time, but whether or not he was gay is pretty immaterial.. |

| daedalus (Over your hill) | Posted: Jan 19, 2011 - 06:41 One of his very best. David Gilmour, and Mark Knofler played on this album - anyone know who's on this track ? I'd say Gilmour. |

| maximinimalist (Treasure Coast) | Posted: Aug 13, 2010 - 16:20 funny how the roxy music sound is so easily identified; eno included. i suppose it's because they are so different from the mainstream and worked well together. i like them all; grouped and as solo artists. enjoy! |

| Danimal174 (Upstate South Carolina) | Posted: Oct 01, 2009 - 13:46 Never understood the appeal of Bryan Ferry or Roxy Music. Other people must, based on the rating, but I get nothing from this song whatsoever...it sounds cheesy and sappy to me...too slick and overproduced for my taste. I also remember this song on "9 1/2 Weeks", but, to me, it was a distraction, not an enhancement, to the movie. A film like that needed a truly sultry song, not this. Just my two cents... |

| AvoidingWork (Home of Big Boy #4004) | Posted: Oct 01, 2009 - 13:38 In my younger years I thought he was saying Safety Love. Slave to Love... Now it makes much more sense. |
| sterlingy (Los Angeles or New York) | Posted: Aug 31, 2009 - 01:46 The entire album is amazing!!! Get it and you might as well order "Boys and Girls" at the same time. |
| newwavegurly | Posted: Jul 30, 2009 - 12:34 This song is sultry, sexy, and gets me every.damned.time. |

| 1wolfy (Mission Viejo California) | Posted: Jan 21, 2009 - 16:31 I think Talk Talk has a similar sound...smooth vocals.. bupanishad2012 wrote: Bryan Ferry is a dynamite singer and far underrated in the USA.

| lingchih (Irving, Texas) | Posted: Oct 18, 2008 - 23:30 OK. It's pretty good. I can't believe I reverted to my teenage years to rate this. |
| nigelr (Coffs Harbour, Australia) | Posted: Jul 16, 2008 - 03:00 Ah, thats better! Never too much Brian or Roxy......... |

| electronicshaman (miskatonic) | Posted: Apr 17, 2007 - 00:07 wow, I thought this was that other Brian Ferry song from this album that really really sounds like that other Roxy Music song (Avalon) they all sound so so similar but I have to admit they sound good |
| buddy0407 (Los Angeles if you lived here you'd be warmer... and better looking.) | Posted: Mar 16, 2007 - 18:00 Best Ferry song ever. |

Mauritius might be paradise, and Dubai offered lots of luxury and fun, but there is no place like Tokyo, and NO PLACE LIKE RP! Thanks, Bill! |

Also Leave Your Hat On (Joe Cocker) and This City Never Sleeps (Eurythmics) are on that soundtrack. Not terrible.Indeed. Excellent soundtrack, and this one brings it all together. I can't explain it, but I harbor a bittersweet nostalgia for the mid-80's, particularly when I hear movie soundtracks. Yep, this one is awesome. Still jerks the heart strings after all these years. |
