9. “Forbidden Love” – as it says on the tin, a song about forbidden love. The love that shall not speak it’s name. In many countries, homosexual love is still illegal. Or love between different cultures or religions. (As a minor aside, I have never understood the intolerance shown by some religions – purporting to be religions of love – towards certain manifestations of said love).

Lyrics

Forbidden Love

Hide your love away
Your love away
It’s forbidden love
It’s hidden love
Baby!
Hide your love away
Your love away
It’s forbidden love

Forbidden love!
And God in
Heaven above
Looking down on us
As he must
Judging
Use up all my trust
Just to say this much
I love
I love
I love you

Even if for now we cannot shout out loud about it
One day we’ll be free
Baby!
I will be so proud to come out with you
Celebrate just you and me

Shy your love away
Your love away
It’s forbidden love
It’s hidden love
Baby!
Shy your love away
Your love away
It’s forbidden love

Dare not speak it’s name!
And so we meet again
In secrecy
You and me
Whisper
Courage that it takes
Just to muster words
I love
I love
I love you

Even if for now we cannot shout out loud about it
One day we’ll be free
Baby!
I will be so proud to come out with you
Celebrate just you and me

What is it to you
What two
People might choose to do
In their adulthood?

Who are you?
Are you?
To mute
And trample
Underfoot
A love pure and good?

Even if for now we cannot shout out loud about it
One day we’ll be free
Baby!
I will be so proud to come out with you
Celebrate just you and me

Forbidden love
Forbidden love
Forbidden love
Forbidden love
