Softcell "Tainted Love" - GoFuckYourself.com

Is it just me or this song totally about some poor guy who's getting harassed by homos???

Quote:

Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
From the pain that you drive into the heart of me
The love we share
Seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my light
For I toss and turn I can't sleep at night

(chorus)
Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Oh...tainted love
Tainted love

Now I know I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
You don't really want IT any more from me
To make things right
You need someone to hold you tight
And you'LL think love is to pray
But I'm sorry I don't pray that way

(chorus...)

Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you though you hurt me so
Now I'm going to pack my things and go
Tainted love, tainted love (x2)
Touch me baby, tainted love (x2)
Tainted love (x3)

He seems "conflicted"

Heard the Marilyn Manson cover?

WarChild · 11-18-2008, 08:15 PM

Maybe it's just me. If you've spent any large amounts of time around large groups of homos, you'd notice that when the balance in a room is overwhelmingly gay, this "well how do you know you wouldn't like it if you haven't tried it?" mentality seems to take over. Almost as if they're recruiting for the left footed club.

Now granted my only experience is from dancers as I used to date a girl that did musical theatre on Broadway and what not. So maybe that's just a gay dancer thing.

Thats a 60's soul girl singer (The Shirelles maybe) cover by Marc Almond and Dave from Soft Cell... Wasn't it originally from female POV...?????

Kudles · 11-18-2008, 09:10 PM

Seems cool

Yeah and I believe it came out right around the AIDs benefit times although I'm not entirely sure on that.

What's your point exactly? Softcell covered this song in the 80s and I don't think anyone ever doubted for a second they were flaming, did you????

I won't be able to formulate an accurate answer until at least a half dozen more bands cover the song... Sorry...

well Marc Almond from Soft cell is gay

Anthony · 11-19-2008, 12:47 AM

I think it's pretty easy to say that it's a gay anthem watching the original video.

Anthony · 11-19-2008, 12:50 AM

Oh, I was singing this song last night at Karaoke. Love that song.

Gloria Jones 1964, a northern soul classic.

Thank you ..it is a cover. A good cover but a cover nonetheless and the original is pretty good too.

Also "Tainted Love" was also a lead in to their cover of the Supremes' "Where did our Love go"

God bless Wikipedia.....

"Soft Cell are an English synthpop duo who came to prominence in the early 1980s. They consist of vocalist Marc Almond and David Ball on synthesizers. Lyrics by the duo often focused on love, romance, kinky sex, transexualism, as well as drugs and murder. The duo is well known for their huge world-wide hit in 1981 with a cover version of "Tainted Love", which made them a one-hit wonder in several countries."

Hahaha...have no ideia, but it's a great song!

Scott McD · 11-19-2008, 08:14 AM

I remember when i found out a while ago that Robert Palmers "Addicted to love" was originally written as "Addicted to drugs"

It makes sense now when you read the lyrics :
(replace "love" with "drugs")

Your lights are on, but youre not home
Your mind is not your own
Your heart sweats, your body shakes
Another kiss is what it takes

You cant sleep, you cant eat
Theres no doubt, youre in deep
Your throat is tight, you cant breathe
Another kiss is all you need

Whoa, you like to think that youre immune to the stuff, oh
Yeah

Its closer to the truth to say you cant get enough, you
Know youre

Gonna have to face it, youre addicted to love

You see the signs, but you cant read
Youre runnin at a different speed
You heart beats in double time
Another kiss and youll be mine, a one track mind

You cant be saved
Oblivion is all you crave
If theres some left for you
You dont mind if you do

Whoa, you like to think that youre immune to the stuff, oh
Yeah

Its closer to the truth to say you cant get enough, you
Know youre

Gonna have to face it, youre addicted to love

Might as well face it, youre addicted to love
Might as well face it, youre addicted to love
Might as well face it, youre addicted to love
Might as well face it, youre addicted to love
Might as well face it, youre addicted to love

Guitar solo (once around)

Your lights are on, but youre not home
Your will is not your own
Youre heart sweats and teeth grind
Another kiss and youll be mine

Whoa, you like to think that youre immune to the stuff, oh
Yeah

Its closer to the truth to say you cant get enough, you
Know youre

Gonna have to face it, youre addicted to love

Might as well face it, youre addicted to love
Might as well face it, youre addicted to love
Might as well face it, youre addicted to love
Might as well face it, youre addicted to love
Might as well face it, youre addicted to love
