The Sugarcubes

This was released on their 3rd and last album containing new songs, called "Stick Around For Joy" in 1992.

Lyrics:

Björk:

You love him - you want to make him happy

he loves you - he wants to humiliate you

He's a bastard - you should leave him

paranoid manipulator - to hell with him

He's dragging you

along

on a leash called love

He controls you - you should do him in

before he gets to you - watch out, girl

He's dragging you

along

on a leash called love

Einar:

You have torn me - inside out

nothing but a nervous wreck.

you have got me on a leash

you whip me with a leash called love

I've lost all sense of direction

you make me addicted to your friends nasty remarks

and I don't know how I survive

I can no longer distinguish from

right or wrong -sane / insane

Leash called love

Whip me back

back and forth

paranoid

Leash called love

This track and the others eg Hetero scum sound live and not studio - am I stupid?

Bjork is great but she's much better as this band. For me, she needs Siggi with her especially. If Siggi's not there, it's just jaded rave party music with her voice over the top of it, no matter how trippy it is. This is my fave song EVER. Sounds like Mount Olympus. When I crank this thing, I go straight into a state of complete bliss. Kind of a drag the lyrics are so negative but they've never stopped me...

@6robski8 certainly wasn't obvious (the strongest link thing) when i saw them live. they performed immaculately as a unit. far better than hearing their first lp actually. i always thought the production made them sound a little gutless.
