Iggy Pop - Cry For Love Lyrics






Status seekers - I never cared
once I found out they never dared
to seize the world and shake it upside down
and every stinking bum should wear a crown

Sayin' I cry for love
till all the plates are broken
cry for love
until my eyes are soakin'
yeah cry for love
on every salmon mornig
cry for love
'cause imitation's boring
cry for love

bad tv that insults me freely
still i know what I'm dyin' to see
in searching for a meaningful embrace
sometimes my self-respect took second place

an' I cried for love
i did what my heart told me
cried for love
can't stand it
when they scold me
yeah i cried for love
on every salmon morning
yeah i cry for love
'cause imitation's boring
cry for love

Surfers ride for love and wipe out when it hits 'em
soldiers kill for love and nobody admits it
if you're cryin' for love well, that's ok don't sweat it
if you're cryin' for love then there's still a chance you'll get it
cry for love

    Queimando uma erva da boa e ouvindo "CRY FOR LOVE" é a viagem perfeita! Tenho saudades das madrugadas da MTV quando passava esse clipe no clássicos mtv. Eu ficava até tarde da noite esperando passar "cry for love" bons tempos aqueles!

    I'm from the 80's and herd this cool song at Walmart of all places Sep 04, 2019 playing inside. I thot, this sounds cool I need to video capture it and shazam it later.
    I knew it was Iggy sounding, but was surprised it was and that I never herd in my old af life! I know only 2 others songs I like so if someone could tell me others to hear that be cool. All I know is Candi and Beside You.
    This man and Mick Jagger hv so much crazy non dancing but cool funny moves don't give a fuck how it looks energy! Another non dancing lead singer is from band - Future Islands

    My favourite song by Iggy Pop

  32. M.... V....

    Aguante detroit igui. Saludos desde Argentina Buenos Aires

  33. T.... R....

    Iggy Pop's baritone voice here was very Jim Morrison like here. Plus this was an MTV staple back in late 1986-early 1987. Plus album rock radio played the Hell out of it. A&M dropped the ball on promotion as they were too busy with Janet Jackson to promote Iggy's comeback album which spawned this classic and "Real Wild Child".

    T.... R....

    is that what happened? I always thought this album was money. Yet, I rarely heard it on the radio. I agree with you comment on dropping the ball with the promotion. This should have been a huge money-maker.

  34. R.... S....

    He got arrested

  35. P.... ....

    ✔ The complicated story of John McCain is a simple one. John McCain's mother's husband continued to drive buses for a living after retiring as a bus driver in 1954. Then his wife died and they celebrated their 35th anniversary. After John McCain's mother enjoyed a successful abortion, the aborted baby was born in good health and grew up to be 18 years old in under 19 years. Lyndon Johnson started the Vietnam War and told John McCain to bomb Hanoi orphanages in self-defense a lot.

  36. T.... I....

    August 1985 to July 1986.

    I'm a great fan of Iggy, i saw him in a little town, Albi, in France, maybe 3 or 4 years ago. I just can say the old guy has more energy than youngs. It was with the Stooges, i spent a fuckin' great time, thx Mr Iggy

    he was at the PDX airport last Sunday. he was really tiny. I gave him a nod.

  61. d.... r....

    He has 40 years of completely different styles and music, and almost nothing I don't love. I don't know why , but I adore this more than any other iggy or stooges track.I'm completely obsessed with it!

  62. c.... c....

    Iggy the greatest rocker ever to live.

  72. V.... M....

    This is great stuff but I have seen guys dance like that at the bar when they had too much to drink and then get thrown out of the bar, hahaha

  73. A.... B....

    sucha great line........"In searching for a meaningful embrace
    Sometimes my self-respect took second place"

  74. A.... R....

    l got that album at my moms house in my old bed room.

  75. w.... ....

    They say it's not like The Stooges but its got certain elements, its simple, it's catchy, the lyrics are VERY Iggy, if you listen to Stooges songs they are actually REALLY catchy too, its Iggy showing he had range. It was actually really successful too, made him money...and he followed it, instead of chasing success with more of the same like the record company were pullin' for, he released Instinct, a borderline Metal sounding album, top lad LOL

  76. C.... S....

    A lone wolf in the music industry. Great powerful song, solo by the guitar hero Steve Jones, very cool!

  77. A.... M....

    Like Andrew Eldritch´s voice (The Sisters of Mercy).

    A.... M....

    I agree absolutely...I remember this great band, when I hear this song....

    A.... M....

    I agree

    A.... M....

    No other way around ! Eldritch doing his Iggy inspired voice like so many.

  78. e.... ....

    it's like he's protesting with his body. phenomenal.

  79. Y.... ....

    ...jak zawsze świetny 😊

  80. B.... D....

    I fucking love Iggy's voice

  81. A.... K....

    The way he moves, Iggy would make an excellent scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz.
