Thieves Like Us (BBC Top of the Pops 1984) Songtext
von New Order

I′ve watched your face for a long time
It's always the same
I′ve studied the cracks and the wrinkles
You were always so vain
Well, now you live your life like a shadow
In the pouring rain

Oh, it's called love
Yes, it's called love
Oh, it′s called love
And it belongs to us
Oh, it dies so quickly
It grows so slowly
But when it dies, it dies for good
It′s called love
And it belongs to everyone but us


Oh, love is found in the east and west
When love is at home, it's the best
Love is the cure for every evil
Love is the air that supports the eagle

But it′s called love
And it's so uncool
It′s called love
And somehow, it's become unmentionable

It′s called love
And it belongs to every one of us
It's called love
And it cuts your life like a broken knife

Oh, love
Love, love, love, love
It's called love
And it belongs to us
It′s called love
Love, love, love, love
It′s called love
And it belongs to everyone but us
