"Prisoner of Love" was a song by Tin Machine, taken from their self-titled debut album. It was issued as their third single in October 1989.Bowie claimed at the time he wrote the song for his then-partner Melissa Hurley. It reads as worldly advice from the singer, warning the subject off drugs among other things – Bowie’s social conscience is a recurring theme of "Tin Machine".

Despite being backed by live tracks recorded at La Cigale, Paris on June 25 1989, and a novel heart-shaped 12" picture disc release, "Prisoner of Love" failed to chart in the UK or the US.
