This Is Not a Love Song" is a single released by English post-punk group Public Image Ltd in 1983. It is the group's biggest commercial hit, peaking at number 5 on the UK Singles Chart and at number 3 on the Irish Singles Chart. The 12" remixed version of the song is featured on Commercial Zone as "Love Song". This Is What You Get and includes a horn section.

The single "Public Image" was widely seen as diatribe against Malcolm McLaren and his perceived manipulation of Lydon during his career with the Sex Pistols. The track "Low Life" (with its accusatory lyrics of "Egomaniac traitor", "You fell in love with your ego" and "Bourgeoisie anarchist") has also been regarded as an attack on McLaren, although Lydon has stated that the lyrics refer to Sid Vicious. Also, the album remake of "This is Not a Love Song" was included rather than the original single version). Lydon claims that he wanted the album to be 28 tracks long; the eventual 14-track listing was a compromise with Virgin Records (who, according to Lydon, originally wanted only 8 tracks). The compilation – which boasted album-sleeve artwork by Reg Mombassa – made No. 20 on the UK album charts.

Love song Love song Love song Love song. I'm going over to the other side I'm happy to have not to have not Big business is very wise I'm inside free enterprise. I'm adaptable I'm adaptable. I'm adaptable and I like my new role I'm getting better and better And I have a new goal I'm changing my ways where money applies. Now are you ready to grab the cradle That tunnel vision-not television Behind the curtain-out of the cupboard YOu take the first train-into the big world Now will I find you-now will you be there.

On this song, Public Image Ltd. lead singer John Lydon takes the persona of a corporate fat cat, arrogantly explaining how he knows what's best. It is, of course, satire. Lydon rarely got on well with any of his corporate overlords and takes a dim view of big business. It's a theme that remained relevant decades later; in our 2015 interview with Lydon, he discussed the song. Big business considers itself very wise, when in fact, it's not," he said. This version appears as "Love Song" on Commercial Zone, a 1984 album of recordings Levene took from the This Is What You Want sessions that he released without consent. This really isn't a love song: we know because Lydon repeats the title 44 times. The video was filmed in Century City, a flashy business area in Los Angeles with lots of tall buildings. Lydon plays the role of a tycoon, riding around in a classic car as he looks over his kingdom.

The verse to this song is bass only, however if you want to play a transcribed version on guitar the tab is as follows.
