Notes
Engineer Steve Fitzmaurice said in the 2006 Exciter remaster documentary:
"I think by the end of January, we had to finish [the album]. But it was quite generous, the time we had. I think by the time we got to London, there were still a few tracks to record, but it was more or less all finished. I think there was only two or three songs to mix in London. Freelove still being one of them: there was still Fletch going on about wanting backing vocals. Martin finally did the backing vocals, at about 2 o'clock in the morning, quite drunk on the last night."
You can listen to an extracted stem of Martin's (drunk) vocal here.
Lyrics
Freelove
If you've been hiding from love
If you've been hiding from love
I can understand where you're coming from
I can understand where you're coming from
If you've suffered enough
If you've suffered enough
I can understand what you're thinking of
I can see the pain that you're frightened of
And I'm only here
To bring you free love
Let's make it clear
That this is free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love
I've been running like you
I've been running like you
Now you understand why I'm running scared
Now you understand why I'm running scared
I've been searching for truth
I've been searching for truth
And I haven't been getting anywhere
No I haven't been getting anywhere
And I'm only here
To bring you free love
Let's make it clear
That this is free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love
Hey girl
You've got to take this moment
Then let it slip away
Let go of complicated feelings
Then there's no price to pay
We've been running from love
We've been running from love
And we don't know what we're doing here
No we don't know what we're doing here
We're only here
Sharing our free love
Let's make it clear
That this is free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love
