Lyrically Speaking: Not *another* love song
Posted: Tue Apr 22, 2008 8:11 am
When I was in college, a friend of mine had been challenged to come up with 100 songs that had "Love" in the title. He easily surpassed it. And while the music world is full of songs professing their undying love for somebody, there aren't as many hit songs saying how terrible the other person's love is for them or how bad the concept of love is in general. Well, guess what... I found them, and that's today's theme.
1. You never doubted my warped opinions on things like suicidal hate
You made me compliment myself when it was way too hard to take
So I’ll drive so fucking far away that I never cross your mind
And do whatever it takes in your heart to leave me behind
2. Some say I got a bad attitude
But that don't change the way I feel about you
And if you think this thought might bring me down
Look again 'cause I ain't wearin no frown!
3. When I'm with you, are you somewhere else?
Am I gettin thru, or do you please yourself?
When you wake up, will you walk out?
It cant be love if you throw it about
4. I hear you calling and it's needles
And pins (and pins)
I want to hurt you just to hear you
Screaming my name
5. Feelin' better now that we're through
Feelin' better 'cause I'm over you
I've learned my lesson, it left a scar
Now I see how you really are
6. Some fools rave of happiness
Blissfulness
Togetherness
Some fools fool themselves, I guess
But they're not fooling me
7. I won't turn you out if you've got someone else
Someone else you care about
Because you must realize
My obsessive fascination is in your imagination
8. You love her
But she loves him
And he loves somebody else
You just can't win
9. I like to see you, but then again
That doesn't mean you mean that much to me
So if I call you, don't make a fuss
Don't tell your friends about the two of us
10. Paint your smile on your lips
Blood red nails on your fingertips
A school boy's dream, you act so shy
Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye
Bonus: What movie about two people engaged to the wrong people featured song #8?
Double Bonus: What is played at the opening of song #1, and who is on it?
Final Bonus: What country singer sang backup on song #5?
