Revenge for Love Lyrics
Don't I need a saviour
Just to bail me out
I'll hold my breath until the water lets me out
And I say
Alimony never can pay
Hey, hey, hey
I'm on the breadline,
Your on the answer phone,
You're off the hook,
And I'm left all alone
It's a shame.
Passion isn't always to blame,
Hey, hey, hey
Oh, I don't need time.
Just sweet revenge for love.
Oh, I don't don't need time,
Just sweet revenge for love.
Don't say it's a crime
Just give me sweet revenge.
I'm undercover,
Your love has overgrown,
Retaliation is emotion I have shown,
And I say,
All the money never could pay.
Hey, hey, hey,
I'm on the level,
You're on the second floor,
I'm counting seconds,
As my hand goes for the door,
Pleasure isn't always the same.
Hey, hey, hey.
Just to bail me out
I'll hold my breath until the water lets me out
And I say
Alimony never can pay
Hey, hey, hey
I'm on the breadline,
Your on the answer phone,
You're off the hook,
And I'm left all alone
It's a shame.
Passion isn't always to blame,
Hey, hey, hey
Oh, I don't need time.
Just sweet revenge for love.
Oh, I don't don't need time,
Just sweet revenge for love.
Don't say it's a crime
Just give me sweet revenge.
I'm undercover,
Your love has overgrown,
Retaliation is emotion I have shown,
And I say,
All the money never could pay.
Hey, hey, hey,
I'm on the level,
You're on the second floor,
I'm counting seconds,
As my hand goes for the door,
Pleasure isn't always the same.
Hey, hey, hey.

I just commented on Highly Strung and feel compelled to comment on this song as well now that I’m reading the lyrics to the songs on Parade for the first time.
Again, like Highly String, the music is infectiously catchy and the music has a great groove. But again, regarding the lyrics, what in the world Tony. If I’m reading the lyrics right, this is a song about a man murdering his ex-wife as revenge for love? Does anyone else see it any differently, especially with the reference to bail? The one part I don’t get is “I’ll hold my breath until the water lets me out.” Are they waterboarding him in prison? Spandau Ballet is a strange band. On the surface everything is glossy and upbeat but there some strange and sinister sentiments lurking in their lyrics.
