About Leash Called Love

"Leash Called Love" is a song written and recorded by the Icelandic band The Sugarcubes for their 1992 album Stick Around for Joy, and their follow up to their number one Billboard Modern Rock Tracks single "Hit". The track dealt with the subject of a woman's vow to break free from the emotional and physical abuse from her lover, hence the song's title. The song would also be the group's final single release before their break up in 1993. While the single did not chart the Billboard Modern Rock or Hot 100 charts, it would eventually find better success on the magazine's Dance Club Songs chart, where it was restructured into a house music setting by Tony Humphries for the compilation It's-It, eventually becoming the act's first and only number one single on that chart, and cemented lead singer Björk's new found success in the dance and electronic music community.

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 a victim
To your friends' nasty remarks, and I don't know how
I survive, I can no longer
Distinguish from, right or wrong,
Sane insane, whip me back,
Back and forth, paranoid.
Leash called love..
