Love To Hate You

This song was originally the submitted track that Erasure wrote for the Dick Tracy soundtrack. (It was rejected, their recording of "Looking Glass Sea" was used instead.) The lyrics have more to do with the theme of the Dick Tracy movie, the love and hate aspect of Madonna's character's feelings towards Dick Tracy.

I may be reading too much into it, but who else thinks that the verses "And the lovers that you sent for me Didn't come with any satisfaction guarantee So I return them to the sender And the note attached will read How I love to hate you" could mean someone killing their lovers or a serial killer's murders?

Another great song,this was my favourite Erasure song for a while.It has a great party vibe to it,and some well written lyrics. The video is great,man they really trashed that house.And to fit in with the fact that the Chorus album was recorded in Germany some of the video was shot in a german street set piece at night.

I totally agree... I think it's a serial killer.

This seems to be about someone who is very dissatisfied with their relationships. "Oh you really still expect me to believe every single letter I receive? Sorry you, what a shameful situation" understandably, they're being wary and not too trusting.

And...like other people said, it kind of sounds like they're killing them. The eeriness in the music, "My sense of hesitation disappears", "Sending shivers up and down my spine", "So I return them to the sender", "I like to read murder mystery, I like to know the killer isn't me" make it sound like that.

I'm glad this song was rejected and not used in Dick Tracy, or else it wouldn't be in the Chorus album and I wouldn't be able to listen to it on Spotify and would have to resort to YouTube everytime, just like I do with Looking Glass Sea.
