Chains Of Love Lyrics
When there are few words I can choose
How can I explain
When words get broken
There was a time ahaha
When people on the street
We're walking hand in hand in hand
They used to talk about the weather
Making plans together
Days would last forever
Together we'll break these chains of love
Don't give up, don't give up
Together with me and my baby
Break the chains of love
Once upon a time ahaha
When there were open doors
An invitation to the world
We were falling in and out with lovers
Looking out for others
Our sisters and our brothers
Together we'll break these chains of love
Don't give up, don't give up now
Together with me and my baby
Break the chains of love
Together we'll break these chains of love
When there are few words I can choose
How can I explain
When words get broken
Making plans together
Days would last forever

I'm a huge Erasure's fan and this song is one of their most infectious moments, whose lyrics aren't necessarily gay at my pov. Actually I sincerely think most Andy Bell's lyrics always let 'straight' interpretations and it's not different with Chains Of Love. It's simply a song about not leaving yourself to be caught by the chains of love since you would be losing many chances for knowing another interesting people. But, of course, nobody owns such a control about feelings, specially love, a unbreakable one. Well, that's just my opinion.

I completely agree with Circusjuggler..it's about breaking chains of love. Because healthy love should not make you feel "chained". It's about breaking bad cycles,so future generations can have healthy relationships. I was a huge Erasure fan in Jr. High/Highschool. PARENTS listen to the LYRICS of the songs your children are listening to0!! I am a HUGE ADVOCATE for children...and FIRMLY BELIEVE music and art can be used as therapy to help children cope with the dysfunction that is in their home! :)

This is arguably the gayest song ever written.
Assuming you meant gay as in sexually and not just bad, i never really got that, despite them being an openly gay band. I think this song is a catchy and upbeat and, like a most of their songs, have a fairly universal theme that can be applied to many people regardless of sexual preference.

lol agreed. ..may be why i love it so much

I always thought this guy was a chick when I was a kid.

This song popped into my head today for some odd reason, so I Googled the lyrics and pondered their meaning. For me, it's about breaking old relationship paradigms. Love and bonding without bondage. Lol.. There are no guarantees in love... and we've been taught that love is conditional and limited. In a perfect world, this would not be so.
