    Default Solved: Rock, 1980's ("...this house that we call love is just a broken shack...")?

    I recorded this from the radio many years ago when tape was all the rage and mp3 was just a twinkle in someone's eye. I think it is probably from the late '80s. Anyway, here are the lyrics as transcribed by me -

    In the land of the free
    fall in love with everything you see
    lie down in the sun
    tell me I'm the only one

    you can really see the way I change
    you can really change the way I see

    do you have to chain me
    tied to the rack
    so you can get enough
    to give me something back

    do you have to drain me
    empty the sack
    this house that we call love
    is just a broken shack

    this house that we call love
    is just a broken shack

    this is a bitter place
    ???
    I try to run for a while
    but due to form...???

    you can really feel the way I change
    you can really change the way I feel

    do you have to chain me
    tied to the rack
    so you can get enough
    to give me something back

    do you have to drain me
    empty the sack
    this house that we call love
    is just a broken shack

    this house that we call love
    is just a broken shack
    this house that we call love
    is just a broken shack

    I can't leave
    I can't leave this house
    I can't leave
    I can't leave this house

    do you have to chain me
    tied to the rack
    so you can get enough
    to give me something back

    do you have to drain me
    empty the sack
    this house that we call love
    is just a broken shack

    this house that we call love
    is just a broken shack
    this house that we call love
    is just a broken shack
