Lifetime originals *regains composure, buttons blouse and re-adjusts skirt*
This morning I was listening to Trompe Le Monde, specifically Letter To Memphis, and thought what a lovely love inducing song and it got me thinking of SG and his love of lists and music. That’s right SG, I think about you in my spare time. But in a respectible way. I definitely don’t fanatsize about you wearing a loin cloth and swinging from a vine Tarzan style.
Anywho, this is a place where you can list your most favorite love songs that you love. But not in a rude way.
For me I would like to start by listing these lovley little gems…
Of Montreal ~ Keep Sending Me Black Fireworks
John Lennon ~ Oh Yoko!I get angry when people blame Yoko for breaking up the Beatles. Like John Lennon couldn’t possibly be human and fall in love.

We`d make a great couple if you`d put on your gorilla suit
Dire Straits-Tunnel Of Love
Makes me think of a girl I liked a long time ago

More to come while I think them up
Guided By Voices-Mesh Gear Fox
So around the time I first heard this,I fell for a girl.She was like Lucy from Charlie Brown in real life.Kinda snobbish but really smart and classy.
Poor SG, maybe you’d feel better if you put on your loin cloth.
Buddy Holly has about a gabillion love songs to choose from. Personally my faves are as followed
Love Is Strange
I’m Gonna Love You Too
Love Me
Now We’re One
You’re The OneAnd of course there is Hermans Hermits ~ Can’t You Feel My Heartbeat
Nirvana ~ Drain You
The Zombies ~ Going Out Of My Head
The Zombies ~ I Love You This song does funny things to me. Sometimes saying I love you is the hardest thing in the world to do.Oh and when Cat Power does Sea Of Love. Oh, Chan Marshall, you have the most beautiful voice in the universe.

Sweet little tune.I`m in love with your eyes…

Some of their tunes were not fiction.The married couple in the band had a rocky marriage.

The Pigeon Detectives ~ You Know I love You
I knew a boy who was crazy about these guys because they came from his home town. I used to laugh at how "romantic" this song was with such beautiful lyrics as "You know I love you, take off your clothes, it’s alright…"
The Beatles ~ In My Life
The Beatles ~ P.S. I Love You
Thje Beatles ~ And I Love Her"Robert" wrote:Couldn’t You Wait – SilkwormI was thinking of adding a song called Young they did.Kelly Hogan guests on vocals who just sings her ass off.
"girl" wrote:I used to laugh at how "romantic" this song was with such beautiful lyrics as "You know I love you, take off your clothes, it’s alright…"Reminds me of a Railroad Jerk song,they sing ‘Natalie Natalie I want to see your anatomy’
