Valentine's Day music thread: favourite romantic lyrics
Listened to Bjork's Possibly Maybe for the first time in a while the other day and it struck me just how lovely this line is. Probably the most romantic sentiment in any song I like.
As much as I definitely enjoy solitude
I wouldn't mind perhaps
Spending little time with you
Fineshrine by Purity Ring is really quite lovely, too.
Argue about what is and isn't romantic/post Kunt and the Gang lyrics below.
A couple of favourites...
Yours is the first face that I saw, I think I was blind before I met you (Bright Eyes). I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles
In our eyes are mirror images and when We kiss they're perfectly aligned (The Postal Service)

Lemonheads - "She's the puzzle piece behind the couch that makes the sky complete"
Gaslight Anthem - "I'll love you forever if I ever love at all"
Compulsory Mountain Goats Lyric:
Our love is like the border between Greece and Albania
Trucks loaded down with weapons crossing over every night
Moon yellow and bright.
Arab Strap- 'General Plea To A Gurlfriend'
I can't make boasts about my body.
The workmanship is somewhat shoddy.
Sometimes I overwork my gob.
Can't buy you gifts, I've got no job.
I know you find my habits sickly.
I know sometimes I come too quickly.
I don't mind jokes like "two-stoke wonder".
Just don't slash my trust asunder.

Love Is In The Air
I said now baby, tell me what's your name
She said "my name-a is-a Mary Jane"
I said now baby can I take you home?
She winked her eye and said "now daddy, come on!"
... 'cuz she is my kinda girl...
'Toes curling up while you grabbing on the sheets /
While I 'm spitting on that pussy real sloppy when I eat /
Slobbing on that pussy when I'm done I do not cuddle /
I put that dick up on her make her sleep in the puddle' (Danny Brown)
'Yes we 'posed to dick em dick em /
Drop their drawers and take their lichen /
When I'm on the yellow syrup /
I like to fuck off in the kitchen' (Juicy J, Three 6 Mafia)
and they say today's kids are cold & emotionless
what's "lichen"? or the yellow syrup?

He Stopped Loving Her Today
He said I'll love you 'til I die
She told him you'll forget in time
As the years went slowly by
She still preyed upon his mind
He kept her picture on his wall
Went half crazy now and then
He still loved her through it all
Hoping she'd come back again
Kept some letters by his bed
Dated 1962
He had underlined in red
Every single I love you
I went to see him just today
Oh but I didn't see no tears
All dressed up to go away
First time I'd seen him smile in years
(Chorus)
He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today
(Spoken)
You know she came to see him one last time
Oh and we all wondered if she would
And it kept running through my mind
This time he's over her for good
