Songtexte Secret Life (Remastered 2023) - Soft Cell

In your little black book

You've got the names and the favourite persuasions
Of the people in the headlines
I'm in there under A and I'm rated under B
You've got photographs to prove it
And I swear to God it's not me
You've got a hard heart
Being hard is your art
You think love is a dirty dirty word
You pick up the phone and you ring me when I'm at home
And then you put it down and I'm reaching for my valium

My secret life
Living life on a knife edge of life
Tell my wife
And she's just had a breakdown
And I, I'm not rich
But you know I'm top in my pitch
And you'll ruin the lot
Finish everything I've got
My secret life
Secret life

I'll give you anything
Anything to shut you up
Why do you hate me so much?
What have I ever done to you but leave you?

I don't want to play cat and mouse
Have the neighbours looking over at my house
All the secret smiles when I walk in the room
And I think I'm going to crack up soon
I'm going to run away
Find a place in the dark
Where I don't have to hear the nasty nasty talk
Change my sex
Change my hair
Be hard to find anywhere

My secret life
Living life on a knife edge of life
Tell my wife
And she's just had a breakdown
And I, I'm not rich
But you know I'm top in my pitch
And you'll ruin the lot
Finish everything I've got
My secret life

My secret life
I'll give you anything
Anything to shut you up
Why do you hate me so much?
What have I ever done to you but leave you?

Ooh
My secret life
My secret life
My secret life
My secret life
My se- se- secret life
My secret life
