Practically, it would be a new song for the band after 20 years.
Description[]
The song was written by Pete Burns, Steve Coy and Peter Oxendale (data not confirmed, although the rest of songs of "Fan the Flame (Part 1)" were written and composed by the three of them).
At first, this song was believed to be titled "Love On The Line (Let Me Tell U A Secret)" or "Love On The Line (Tell You A Secret), but in the end, it was called simply as "My Love's On The Line".
A confirmed fact is that the song lasts 6 minutes and 27 seconds.
It was presented for the first time during the "Fan the Flame Tour" in Japan in the late 1990s, along with two other new songs which are "I Don't Care About Your Heart" and "Sex", a song that was recorded with the special participation of the actor and dancer James Hyde, who also participated in most of the band's presentations since 1987, and that by the way, would be re-recorded years later but under the name of "The Right Stuff" (included in the 1995 album "Nukleopatra").
After 30 years, the launch of the "Invincible" boxset was announced (October 9th), which will include the albums "Fan the Flame (Part 1)", "Nukleopatra", "Fragile" and "Unbreakable: The Fragile Remixes"; a two-disc EP called "Spin Drive", which will include several remixes of "You Spin Me Round" and "Sex Drive" made between 1996 and 1997; several unpublished versions and rarities of certain songs; and for the first time, this song will debut in its studio version.
Lyrics:[]
Your words blew my mind away,
People spreading rumors.
I tried to play your game,
Thought I held the aces,
I didn’t mean to end it baby.
Now there’s nothing I could say or do nothing I could say or do No no nothing nothing nothing I could say or do Will change this situation. My love’s on the line I’ll tell you a secret, I was yours all the time. My love’s on the line I’ll tell you a secret, I was yours all the time. I could ride in limousines, Fly around the world, But It has no meaning if you are not my baby. I I want things to change, Never stay the same. I’m only human. But there’s nothing I could say or do nothing I could say or do No no nothing nothing nothing I could say or do Will change this situation. My love’s on the line, I’ll tell you a secret. I was yours all the time. My love’s on the line, I’ll tell you a secret. I was yours all the time. Oh Oh! My loves on the line, I’ll tell you a secret. I was yours all the time. My love’s on the line, I’ll tell you a secret. I was yours all the time. My heart went out to play, It was just a game. I want it to stay like this the same, And if you don’t want to change, Want you just the same, It’s because I’m feeling for you. Oh Oh! Oh Oh! My love’s on the line, I’ll tell you a secret. I was yours all the time. I was yours all the time. My love’s on the line, I’ll tell you a secret. I was yours My love’s on the line, I was yours all the time. I was yours I was yours All the time I was yours I was yours All the time there’s nothing I could say or do nothing I could say or do nothing I could say or do I was yours I was yours All the time It’s because I’m feeling for you My love’s on the line, I’ll tell you a secret.
