I'm under the opinion that Stephin Merritt of Magnetic Fields fame is the single best songwriter of love songs of our generation. He captures how nice it can be and how tragic it can be. His diction is sometimes childish and very surface, and at other times he is so incredibly insightful. i can relate to almost every one of his songs.

All My Little Words
You are a splendid butterfly
It is your wings that make you beautiful
And I could make you fly away
But I could never make you stay
You said you were in love with me
Both of us know that that's impossible
And I could make you rue the day
But I could never make you stay

Not for all the tea in China
Not if I could sing like a bird
Not for all North Carolina
Not for all my little words
Not if I could write for you
The sweetest song you ever heard
It doesn't matter what I'll do
Not for all my little words

Now that you've made me want to die
You tell me that you're unboyfriendable
And I could make you pay and pay
But I could never make you stay

The One You Really Love
I do believe our love's in danger I might aas well be loving air
You look at me like I'm a stranger You look at me like I'm not there
I gaze into your eyes of blue but their beauty is not for mee You're
thinking on someone who's gone You're dreaming of the one you really love
I made you mine, or so it seemed Though he is dead he haunts your dreams
I might as well be two ft. tall You never will love me at all...
You're dreaming of the corpse you really love

I'm Tongue Tied
I'm tongue tied and useless
I'm weak-kneed and brainless
and then
I mumble some jumble
you kiss me
I'm history
I'm tongue-tied and useless again

my heart pounds
I make sounds
my ears hum

my head pops
the shoe drops
I'm struck dumb

I'm tongue-tied and uselss
I'm weak-kneed and brainless
and then
I mumble some jumble
you kiss me
I'm history
I'm tongue-tied
and uselss again

you say things
the room swings
I feel faint

I've no doubt
I'll black out
grand, love aint

I don't die
I say "hi"
how clever

I turn blue
I love you
forever

I'm tongue-tied and useless
I'm weak-kneed and brainless
and then
I mumble some jumble
you kiss me
I'm history
I'm tongue-tied
and useless again
I'm tongue-tied
and uselss again

...lolololololo....

also, i could very well get into a fight really soon.
