↓ LYRICS ↓
[Intro]
Tell me why
Tell me why
[Verse 1]
Contempt in your eyes when I turn to kiss his lips
Broken I lie, all my feelings denied, blood on your fist
[Chorus]
Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?
[Interlude]
Ooh!
[Verse 2]
You in your false securities tear up my life, condemning me
Name me an illness, call me a sin, never feel guilty, never give in
[Chorus]
Tell me why?
Tell me why?
Tell me why?
Tell me why?
Yeah!
[Interlude]
Aah!
[Bridge]
You and me together, fighting for our love
You and me together, fighting for our love
You and me together, fighting for our love
You and me together, fighting for our love
You and me together, fighting for our love
You and me together, fighting for our love
You and me together, fighting for our love
You and me together, fighting for our love
[Interlude]
Ooh!
[Verse 3]
Contempt in your eyes when I turn to kiss his lips
Broken I lie, all my feelings denied, blood on your fist
[Chorus]
Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?

RIP to Steven Forrest and Larry Steinbachek who was a composer, song writer and synthesiser keyboardist for Bronski Beat. The trio from the greatest decade of music will never be forgotten.
Greatest decade.
@@edgeGabe by FAR.
RIP to the two guys in the video. one of their best hits
As a very closeted teen in the early 80's living in a backwater town in Tasmania Australia bronski was a life line ❤❤❤
It must have been so difficult for you. As a straight man I could never experience something like being “in the closet”. It’s such a shame that even today people have to hide their identity for fear of violence, I hope it all worked out for you, God bless.
Likewise living in Gippsland at the same time.
Hear hear 😂
i danced to this like my life depended on it, that wall of synth calling me to the dance floor like a siren
A CLOCKWORK ORANGE......VERY HIP Yves....DANCED TOO!!!
@@scottleipski1015 it sounds like you re trying to say something but you dont have enough words
@@yvc9 Put so amazingly...this was a magnet to the dance floor , volume UP !!! 😉
ABSOLUTELY! 😭
"YOU IN YOUR FALSE SECURITIES TEAR UP MY LIFE, CONDEMNING ME, NAME ME AN ILLNESS, CALL ME A SIN, NEVER FEEL GUILTY, NEVER GIVE IN, TELL ME WHY? YOU AND ME TOGETHER FIGHTING FOR OUR LOVE" - great song

best decade for uk artists decade of freedom , creativity and musical revolution ...
We need him back. This country is falling apart and our human rights law is in danger. Time for Prides to get political again... it's no time for complacency!
This 'uk' could fall apart any minute... our community and our allies need to rise up NOW. For tomorrow could be to late!
And then came Adele. 🐽
true , 100% agreed
You said it man
@@benjaminsidneykidd-bentley3966 I read your comment and I said to myself if only I could show 4 years ago you when this comment was written what todays world is like.
You’d think someone was taking the piss. Your words were prophetic.
We are further along the line now, back then we were at the tipping point but now it’s it’s over the precipice sliding down the hill.
Let’s come back in another 4 years time and see where we from now.

@@MrMekki10 "You and your false securities"
I came here searching for this. Was talking to a buddy of mine earlier. Every weekend in a club in the 80s, with 2000+ people in it. About 10 of us sitting around a large table talking. As soon as we heard this song, everything was dropped and we're on the floor giving it large- all lads. Not one s*** was given. Another couple of numbers that initiated a similar reaction were She Sells Sanctuary (The Cult), This Charming Man (the smiths), and oddly enough, Happy Hour (House Martins). Different era, great times. Time rolls on, mid fifties now and if I think about that too much I'll annoy myself!
Way to go! Must have been a such fun evening can't wait to start living again -post Covid- 😉
Great times at the Ritz in New York.!!!❤️❤️
Well damn, if I thought about all that too much I'd Touch Myself (The Divinyls)
It has to be one of my absolute favourites of Bronski Beat. Sounds like you and your mates had truely banging time with excellent bands with excellent tunes! Definitely good times. can't wait to go to clubs!
Iv never been horrible to any gay person but back in the 80's I was like most teenagers thinking it was not normal. As a 54 year old man I can only apologies for my ignorance. I have been married to my wife for over 30 years and in this time met lots gay men who have always been nice people. Sorry for being ignorant
I’m not gay but I can really appreciate this. ❤️. That was so nice of you. As a woman, I know they are the best most fun friends and great neighbors. Truth!!
@@alyssakeezer8681 I have only ever known about 15 but always been very nice, for some reason I used to attract gay men but I love women too much
It’s not normal by the very definition that it’s not the ‘norm’
@@DJFAmenHeavy what in this world is normal
@@DJFAmenHeavy nowadays gay or lesbianism or bi are normal
Never feel guilty, never give in...
RIP Steve Bronski.
Very depressing month for sure.
I understand
The world is cruel . Time to change ? 40 years on I say yes
Ppl die every day . Just look at the present children younger who didnt ask for . a whole future ahead of them wiped out. What for ? .... bloody power
The singer is not died
RIP Steve Bronski..I will NEVER forget being a student in Liverpool uni in the 80' s & working behind the bar during Bronski Bear's sound check...mesmerising and not my type of music ..just stuck with me because they were great! Rest easy mate your music brought so much joy to so many xx
Rest in Peace Steve! Thank you for the music.

Jimmy has one of those voices where he'd only have to drop ONE note and you'll immediately know who it is🙌🙌🙌💯
So true😊
He's kind of like a Tiny Tim for the '80s/'90s...
🤗❤️
Jimmy Somerville is a legend. I like some of his songs. I don't care what any other TH-cam users say, but Jimmy Somerville was 1 of the best singers, and songwriters.
Listen to temper trap and tell me what you think.
Listening to this in 2021, still makes me feel great, he has such an amazing voice....🤩
2022..
2023!!
2023 as well!!!
who listens to this music the best of the 80s 2024
This song sure brings back memories of a bygone era. Unfortunately, those days are gone forever.
RIP Steve. This will live on forever.
I just found out. Jesus Christ, smoke inhalation of all things.
N importe quoi
Takes me back to the best decade of all time.
@port nut For sure Port nut, But you are still alive, and still loving the 80s music. lol.xxxxxx
You are so right wonderful music.
@@juliawheeler8428 Thank you julia
RIP Steve Bronski. Such an important band, message in a banging tune. This and "Small-town Boy" really told the story, heartbreaking and powerful at the same time.
Looking back at these older videos at 0:21 the sausages hanging sure gives new meaning. hehe
@port nut Bronski had a stroke in 2018 which limited his mobility. He died from smoke inhalation in a fire at his home in Soho, London, on 7 December 2021, at the age of 61
Didn't realise he died. Just looked it up. They certainly left their mark for good music and Steve was behind it. Thank you Steve 🙏 RIP 🙏
@@NeilNZ he will be missed
@@stadiumarcadium2351stroke inhalation
Being out in the 80s, that took some guts. I respect the hell out of that.
Tu abuela en bicicleta wey! No entiendo ni pedo que está pasando ahorita wey
Depended where you lived. In cities that had a gay community it was a blast. This song captures the spirit.
@@peterpiperthefirst9791 I grew up in Ireland in the 80s. Not the most open-minded of climates and I confess to being a product of my environment when I was young. Then I got a little bit older and wiser and realised some of my favourite people weren't straight like me. Nowadays I respect having the guts to be unapologetically yourself when the whole world saw you as a leper or worse.
@@dars5229 I love Ireland, had a friend who lived in the US for 15 year then moved back. I visited & got the grand island tour including a day and night on the Aran Islands. Love the music, love the literature. A culture to be proud of. -- I think it takes guts to be who you are no matter what. Everyone has their own battle to fight. In the 80s the big cities were a refuge for lesbians & gays but even smaller cities/university towns had their own enclave, often in plain sight but invisible if you didn't know. At this distance of decades what I recall most is how much fun we all had. May sound odd: prejudice was widespread, these were the dark years of Aids, but people pulled together, fought back, many straight allies, lots of compassion. Sometimes I think it's just as important to recall the joyfulness of those times, an almost a utopian spirit sometimes, the anarchy and playfulness. You can hear it in the music -- Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Dead or Alive, Culture Club, Pet Shop Boys, George Michael, Queen -- well I won't go on, it's a long list. When we'd all get together night after night it was a celebration. Thanks for your generous post.
@@peterpiperthefirst9791 Yeah, I was raised on Pet Shop Boys, Queen, George Michael. And, of course, Bronski Beat and The Communards. Others like Bowie I discovered for myself. I worked in my Da's garage and there was a dude who worked nearby as a locksmith. He was a great guy, big Elvis fan. Kept a big dog called Blue, almost as tall as me. A huge Great Dane. And years later, I realized two things; one, he was gay and two, I'd been an asshole. Like, he wasn't from another planet, didn't have three heads and eat babies. I realized my "friends" were full of shit and my Da who just liked good music and accepted people for who they are was right. Now as I get older, I agree with you. It takes guts to be who you are, no matter what.
Brings back the good memories of the 80ies. I remember this in 1984 as if it had been yesterday.
Those sure were better times. I just don't know what went wrong.
@@nativetexanfulwokeness took over
@@DannyKatz-cy4ku So true.
Rest in peace Steve. Bronski Beat was such an underrated group yet so important to so many fans.
also Larry Steinback RIP
Farkin amazing! What a voice. If only the tarts of the 2000's had a fraction of his voice, talent, presence, creativity, passion ......
Jimmy has the most amazing unique voice ♥️
Jimmy’s excellent two octave range. Love their music

Great era, brilliant music, great videos, exciting times, I remember this well, it got us to where we are now, nice one boys...
Bronski Beat breaking down barriers/ forever fighting for all our love.
And producing music that makes you want to dance.
RIP Steve Bronski and thanks for the music. Smalltown Boy is our coming out anthem. Why is another great one. I came out with my college friends in 1986 with music from Marc Almond/Soft Cell, Erasure, The Pet Shop Boys, Dead or Alive, New Order, The Cure, Depeche Mode and, of course, Bronski Beat. Their music was integral to our experience. So very sad to hear this news but these songs will live on for centuries.
How did the AIDS thing effect you? As that started up about the same time you came out?
@@kevinprior3549When bands like the Culture Club or Bronski Beat came out there was already some information on HIV/AIDS and the need to protect yourself from it with a condom. Sadly, many people had already been infected and were dying. These sort of bands were crucial into conveying a message that was important to bring down gender/sexual orientation barriers...
such a cool band with amazing vocalists...the falsetto rocks
Couldn’t have said it better myself my dear you certainly have an ear for music and from what I can see from your picture looks like the rest is pretty together as well ...
Can you imagine, if Queen's Roger Taylor, and Jimmy Somerville did a duet of Falsettos ?. They are legendary, in their own way.
Gay or straight, what a song, what a voice!!!
Does it matter
david chaney: Indeed! Jimmy's voice was pretty much praised by everyone when this was released and afterwards...
@@6868co I believe he just said it didn't matter. Try not to get triggered by every comment.
@Martin Wilson ..... triggered... and your avi 🤣🤣👍
@@6868co LOL......good one!
I just found Bronksi Beat a few months ago, let me tell you he made me feel PROUD.

This song was massively successfully
🌏 worldwide played in all discotecas.
Gay, straight,in between,wherever🎉🍾🎃
concuerdo! ✌️💜
I never paid attention to what Bronski Beat was actually talking about when I was a kid. As I grow older, I appreciate their activism more and more.
Ya
true
Would rather say "despite their activism for a worthless cause"
LOL!!!!! same here. Had no idea what they were talking about, just went with the beat. Regardless, awesome tune.
@@xavieramoros6954 shut up
LOL!! Remember dancing my ass to this in the 80s at Lazers nightclub in Torquay on a Sunday night - first club in the country to have lasers if I remember rightly. But all that mattered was it was free to get in on a Sunday. It was packed! Met my first real love there (Linda Squire - hi there Linda!!). Ah, the memories, what I wouldn't give to be back in those days, 18 years old, whole life ahead of me, my health, with no worries. And big hair of course!!
Camelot's in Doncaster had laser lights 81/82? Certainly one of first oop north!
Nostalgic for that same period from Milwaukee
@union310 think you need to look on a map.
David S Was that in Coral Island? I used to go to Claire's when I lived in Torquay.
David S I felt like I was at that club with you dancing under the laser lights just reading your story. I love dancing to this tune! Thank you for sharing!
"You and me together, fighting for our love."
Rest in peace Steve. Loved this band. This song and Small town boy was for me one of the most important songs of the 80's and one of my all time favourites
Are you gay?
Just listened to this song tonight after many years. You forget what a great voice Jimmy has. What a great band.
🇫🇷👍Ma bonne époque et déjà 45 ans que le temps passe vite.🇫🇷👍idyllique.😢
et oui 45 trop vite on écoutait ça en boite qd on était mineur ou à la radio à 11 en voiture ;)
Pareil...
35 ans pas 45... 1983 !
Sois fière d avoir vécu cette époque, estime toi comme une privilégiée
Shopping during COVID-19 pandemic...
The beginning of the pandemic, fighting for our toilet paper..
Gay or not , great song and a great album , evocative of the 80's .
I’m agreeing with you, bro!
Gay ? Great !
Fuck u bros are inclusive good to see I've still got some inclusive bros hanging in the chat eeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Yes we dont care
I'm straight af but "The age of consent" is my favorite album ever. Paradoxically but a fact 😌
The horns in this are fantastic! An instrument rarely heard in todays music nor the last 20 or so years but back in the late 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s OH so common.
Sure they’re not fake synth horns? There was a lot of that in the 80s.
Probably a Fairlight sample
This is so important musically and for a movement which had to fight to be accepted.
Jimmy Somerville is basically Tintin if he had been created by a left-wing Hergé and officially admiting he's gay. :p
Best comment ever skdjdks
ou killed me....and i was bashing my head who he is hahahahahaha
I've always thought he looks like Tintin!
Haha perfect!
so true !!!
Jimmy is so young and cute in the 80's
So I love bronski beat music videos.
A BEAUTIFUL SONG! THANKS FOR LOADING! 1980'S HAD THE BEST MUSIC.
his voice: sublime
Listening to this in 1984 was huge growing up as a teen and it’s still great😂
the two elderly women fighting for toilet paper feels so familiar... but i can't explain why, hmmm
oh shit oh fuck
Well spotted , they are really going for it.
Lol 😂 .... 🤔😮😂
Heard this song in a retail store and I wasn't expecting that voice to come out of this guy's mouth.
Jimmy somerville legend
One of the most bangin' dance song ever.
RIP Steve Bronski you absolute LEGEND of a man and artist.
This is a Amazing song the lyrics mean so much to people all over the World like myself Why Jimmy Somerville is so talented with a Amazing voice from a big 59 years old Irish fan
Wish we could go back to the 80s
Today is our 2nd wedding anniversary. And this song takes me back to the days leading up to the wedding thinking about how far we've come to finally have our gay relationship accepted and recognized!
This should be cheered for way more. We came a long way but we are acting like not being straight is shunned upon. We moved way forward and we should remember with pride
eeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwww
yeah, in your coyntry. but the battle is not over! death penalty is real in many countries
@@nom3nnescio How true especially in Islamic countries and Middle Eastern countries as well.
@@andregonsalvez9244 yes! you're right.
I’m a straight male and I love Bronski Beat
Yup, same

Not only is this an incredibly socially powerful piece of music for its era it's one of the greatest running songs of all time . I used this constantly for my interval Hill training
I heard this song in Macy's the other day. It brought back good memories. I love this song!!!!!!!!
I feel old when I realise the hard core songs from this era I now hear at the supermarkets these days.
@@michaeltba9062 I'm into these hard core songs more now then I was then. So I don't feel old hearing these songs.
RIP Steve Bronski this music will live forever
Still listening in 2023...songs like this never get old
Hits like this NEVER die!!!!
I’m straight and love them!
Age of CONSENT*🏹✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Shot for the stars and
Made it!!
Why wouldn't you ???
So what?
Music has no gender, so ok.👍🏻👍🏻
I miss all the amazing albums you released. This band helped me through so much great band. Love you guys 👍👏💞
I got more education from this man no matter what group he was in, he taught me to be true to my feelings. Now I am and have. I'm the happiest I've ever been!
It's time to pick our flags and Prides need to become a political battle ground again. This countries human rights are on a course of direct conflict. Time to stop just partying... time to march again
With love and Pride, Forever on and on !
And just a footnote on this song ,these musicians and these song writers are absolutely gifted human beings . some songs are completely perfect !!! it’s like they’re taken out of thin air in their entirety And they’re perfect . this happens to be one of those songs , it’s perfect.
Voice of an Angel
My mum's favourite singers remember her blasting Jimmy Summerville out on VHS TAPES cleaning house lol
I regret that I didn’t notice all the beauty of Steve much earlier 😒
At 56 years old I understand that this is Idel for me, but the years pass and Steve is in Heaven with God...
God bless him 🙏
Desde chile cuando la música era de verdad alegría y diversión y encanto por el baile saludos gracias
This song is magic
Muito boa mesmo época boa
Going to clubs in the late 80s was the best!
Definitely was the best era!!!
Love this song... That PPG synth lead cutting through the mix is epic with the punching horns underneath fantastic with Jimmy's vocals
Rest in peace Larry! My condolences go to your family and Bronski Beat!💐🕊❤
I can't believe 30 years have gone by. Partying has never felt the same since then. It was the music!
36, almost 37.
Just discovering this now. I've always loved Smalltown Boy for years but never thought to just to listen to their other work. There are so many bands where there biggest hit isnt nesscessarily their best and I enjoy Somerville's kind of falsetto singing style. Its a change from Dave Gahans and Jim Morrisons bartione style.
This sounds pretty good. Might listen to an album.
Jimmy Somerville, voix incomparable. Génial
Rest in peace Steve Bronski
RIP Steve. Thank you for the melodies
Back then i wished than freddy mercury and jimmy make a song together. They used this song for the french car constructor peugeot commercial i discovered him because of this😁
If Freddie Mercury, and Jimmy Somerville did a duet, it would be awesome. I love Queen, and I like some of Jimmy Somerville's songs, too.
RIP Steve Bronski
Thanks for the beat.

I didn't know at the time that this album came out why it stirred-up emotions in me.
In 1984/85 I was 17/18 years old respectively and I used to start dancing automatically as soon as I heard this song play in a disco. I danced it many times.
Reminds me of the After Hour Clubs in Nyc- 😀😥Thanks ' Remember Crisco Disco ' Studio 54
Thanks '
Thanks
Great times in the 80's 🥁🥁🥁🥁
Jimmy was born in Scotland there's such a great band!
My friend is scottisch,he was his neighbour,
Unbelievably the same situation he is singing about exist in Poland today. Almost 40 years later.
Not only in Poland.. In Italy lately people were beaten up because of a gay kiss in public... We re still in the past
Now That’s What I Call Music! 4 bought me here
Haha I told my kids I had now that's what I call music 4 , they laughed at me and called me ancient lol
I come directly from a great movie called: "Avenging Angel 2 1985". Donna Wilkes does not repeat the role of ANGEL, in this second part she is replaced by a beautiful woman "Betsy Russell" without a doubt a great action / cult movie from the wonderful 80s. The saga has 4 parts
I discovered this song in that movie as well. One thing about eighties movies is that great music was featured in them.
How amazing it must have been to be a teen or adult in the 80's with this great band around. Jim's voice is phenomenal! What a gorgeous man. I hate it when people have to mention sexuality when I say I love this band - who cares, besides I'm noetisexual so....? We are what we are and that's all one united in music.
R.i.P Steve bronski ty for great music
He looks so cute in his chef's cap. +
Best falsetto voice in music history?
Mael Russel for me
I would have to agree with you but maybe not the best but definitely top three I can’t name another one so you might be right LOL
Klaus Nomi might rival him.
Hey this was on a Peugeot 205 commercial
Indeed. And "Smalltown Boy" was used later for a SNCF commercial.
