Conti Bill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How did our two worlds entwine
How do I fit in to your life
How did you get into mine
I belong to someone else we know
Back when first we met
Oh, we thought for fun
Oh...oh...but fun turned into love for both of us
So now we pay forbidden lover's price
Oh, ‘cause love like ours is never, ever free (Free)
You pay some agony for the ecstasy (For the ecstasy)
Oh, love like ours is never, ever free (Free)
You got to pay some agony for the ecstasy (For the ecstasy), oh…oh…
Nights when you're alone, you know that I
Laid with someone else beside me
Oh, but you love me still and I love you
You know I would no matter where I'd be
Hey, but love like ours is never, ever free (Free)
You got to pay some agony for the ecstasy (For the ecstasy)
Oh, love like ours is never, ever free (Free)
We got to pay some agony if we wanna have ecstasy (For the ecstasy), oh...
Hey, got to pay some agony
If we wanna have an ecstasy, yeah…eah…
And we need each other desperately, don't we, baby
And I'll never from you be free, no, no
So you'll have to do the leavin' me, yeah
And you'll have to do the leavin' me, oh, baby
‘Cause I'm gonna pay the agony, yeah
‘Cause, oh, lovin' you is ecstasy, that's what it is
And I'm willin' to pay the price, oh
‘Cause I'll make it a sacrifice, oh, yes, I will
And I'll never, never, never, never, never, never, never be free
From agony
The song "Main Title" by Conti Bill depicts the story of two individuals who fall in love despite both being committed to someone else. The lyrics convey the confusion and pain that comes with knowing that their love is forbidden and that they have to suffer for it. The song starts with the questioning of why love has to be so complicated, and how two individuals who are not meant to be together ended up entangling their lives together. The singer acknowledges that they belong to someone else, but still they cannot help but love each other.
As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the love between the two is not just a fleeting romance. They thought it was just for fun, but as they spent more time together, they realized that they are in love. However, this love comes with a price - the agony of knowing that their love is wrong and the guilt of cheating on their partners. The repeated phrase "love like ours is never, ever free" emphasizes the cost of their love. The final verse depicts their unwillingness to let go of each other despite the agony they have to endure.

My all time favourite movie, the 1999 version (and it's very rare a re-do of a classic is ever as good, or even better, than the original). I saw this in the theatres on a very special date. I've watched this movie at least 50 times and it never gets old. Rene Russo... rawr. What a smokeshow. Pierce Brosnan's best role, in my opinion.
Every time I hear the soundtrack, I get wonderful memories. Seems like yesterday.
@yotoffotographer
My thoughts exactly.
@user-kz6bs4ob5f
Thomas Crown Affair is an all-time classic.
@TANKTREAD
Bill Conti is awesome, haven't heard this score in so long.
@pauljones5279
Truly would love to hear this played somewhere. Beautiful song
@phillhiip6743
That piano has been giving me chills for 15 years.
@SongbirdCollageArts
One of the best soundtracks ever.
@whyiseconomicsimportant
Best Pierce Brosnan role - honestly the best James Bond ever - he was born to play the role of James Bond - however he was also born to play the role of Thomas Crown - it's amazing that he can outpace even his suave in James Bond as Thomas Crown
@hollowedhope
One of my favorite movies ever
@terrineill74
This soundtrack the thomas crown affair is awesome too. the first track took me straight to the scene in the movie where he is air gliding and I was his co-pilot. awesome.
