Cry For Love Lyrics
Status seekers - I never cared
once I found out they never dared
to seize the world and shake it upside down
and every stinking bum should wear a crown
Sayin' I cry for love
till all the plates are broken
cry for love
until my eyes are soakin'
yeah cry for love
on every salmon mornig
cry for love
'cause imitation's boring
cry for love
bad tv that insults me freely
still i know what I'm dyin' to see
in searching for a meaningful embrace
sometimes my self-respect took second place
an' I cried for love
i did what my heart told me
cried for love
can't stand it
when they scold me
yeah i cried for love
on every salmon morning
yeah i cry for love
'cause imitation's boring
cry for love
Surfers ride for love and wipe out when it hits 'em
soldiers kill for love and nobody admits it
if you're cryin' for love well, that's ok don't sweat it
if you're cryin' for love then there's still a chance you'll get it
cry for love
once I found out they never dared
to seize the world and shake it upside down
and every stinking bum should wear a crown
till all the plates are broken
cry for love
until my eyes are soakin'
yeah cry for love
on every salmon mornig
cry for love
'cause imitation's boring
cry for love
still i know what I'm dyin' to see
in searching for a meaningful embrace
sometimes my self-respect took second place
i did what my heart told me
cried for love
can't stand it
when they scold me
yeah i cried for love
on every salmon morning
yeah i cry for love
'cause imitation's boring
cry for love
soldiers kill for love and nobody admits it
if you're cryin' for love well, that's ok don't sweat it
if you're cryin' for love then there's still a chance you'll get it
cry for love

OMG no comments on this one!!!!!! it not a very popular song, but ifu listen to iggy pop u have to know this one.. it s a classic. it s about those times when you re fucked up 4 some reason and you just need some1, being a chick who ll listen to you or just a friend. i ll love it especially when i m wasted :D
i dig the song too, and its meaning is clear, but what's a salmon morning?
@techmonk - I came here to find a potential confirmation of my thoughts around this lyric - so I’m glad some one has asked it.. here goes… I too have been addicted to heroin and when you overdose and go blue.. you slip away, respiratory system slows until you stop breathing. When you are revived from this sate of you are so fortunate through narcane or cpr.

Your world is salmon - no oxygen to your brain then it receives it and when your eyes open your vision is a blurry haze of pink and white.

A rebirth …...
A rebirth … a salmon morning
I just saw the video clip of 'Cry for Love' on youtube, and the line "yeah i cried for love on every salmon morning" is not there!!?? Great song.
such a powerful song, especially when you are crying for love and a listening ear, shit Iggy is a good lyricist-very underated
