Dare To Love Lyrics - Singles - Jimmy Somerville

He remembers at 14 

He knew what he wanted 

He wanted a man no psychiatry 

Just to be held to be told it was alright 

All he got was a hospital bed 

And some pills to sleep at night 

In his mind were images so divine 

But in his life it was a hell of a time 

They locked him away 

Because he dared to love 

A boy with a man of his own

He wonders if anyone 

Has ever heard of him 

They kicked in the door 

Acting like there was 

Some kind of murder going on 

Made there love seem dirty 

Called him sick called him queer 

The law was against him 

He was 25 his lover 16 

Couldn't believe it was happening 

It seemed so unreal 

But a cell 12 by 8 

made it all so very real 

They locked him away 

Because he dared to love 

A boy with a mind of his own 

He loved a boy with a mind of his own 

Photos 

Where is the crime, where is the crime in love 

He loved a boy with a mind of his own 

They locked him away 

Because he dared to love 

A boy with a mind of his own
