Slave To Love Lyrics
Tell her I´ll be waiting
In the usual place
With the tired and weary
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
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
No I can´t escape
I´m a slave to love
No comments? Wow. It's almost a sad, but yet really beautiful song. I love it.
sad.....but trully beautifull song.
The emotional impact of this ballad, like so many others by Brian Ferry, is truly enhanced by the concert and/or video medium. Unlike so many other music artists, the visuals definitely complement his vocal performance.
Very interesting to read the comments...I think the song is about obsession...when that magic of attraction occurs...two people caught up in a feeling that they can't escape (i.e. Slave to Love). It's that semi-dream like state of two people who are crazy about each other and can't stop thinking about one another...the lyrics and melody add to the strangeness and beauty of the song. I would contrast this, however, with love... a stable, reassuring sense of connectedness.
@mikey14 Yes, about the adrenaline-rush of falling in love. Can't sleep, can't eat, can't stop thinking about them. Beautiful song. I love how it starts dark, foreboding and inauspicious, then almost unexpectedly breaks into a delicious chord. Ferry's shaky and vulnerable voice is perfect.

To me, love is a trifecta - deep love, sexual desire and a long-term attachment which this song represents for a man I'm deeply in love with and have been for 6 years.
When we initially fall in love with someone, worshiping the ground they walk on and believing them to be the most appealing, intriguing and unique person "in the room" is perfectly normal.
Eventually we will take our partner off of the "pedestal" after months and years of being together perhaps, but our love of them remains the same, still feeling a sense of “love blindness” where they are concerned and it doesn't fade, if anything it feels more solid and anchored.

Nice Thank you
Very beautiful song when you are in love with someone. I am in love... I love you, Svetlana!!!!!
Such a beautiful passionate song. To me it describes perfectly that sensation of when you are so in love it hurts and it would kill you to be without that love.
It reminds me of a love of mine that went wrong, that is all I have got to say.
Fine.
