I adore love songs, especially when they''re a little quirky. One of my favorites is The Magnetic Fields'' "The Book of Love" (Peter Gabriel also did a cover of it). Here are the lyrics:

The Book of Love

The book of love is long and boring
No one can lift the damn thing
It''s full of charts and facts and figures
And instructions for dancing but
I...I love it when you read to me and
You...You can read me anything
The book of love has music in it
In fact that''s where music comes from
Some of it is just transcendental
Some of it is just really dumb but
I...I love it when you sing to me and
You...You can sing me anything
The book of love is long and boring
And written very long ago
It''s full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes
And things we''re all too young to know but
I...I love it when you give me things and
You...You ought to give me wedding rings
I...I love it when you give me things and
You...You ought to give me wedding rings

Here''s a link to hear it on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3HQZ9B4XHQ

So what are your favorite quirky love songs?
 
Aww LP I love that song!

Here''s my favorite. It''s by Slipknot of all things (people? peoples? hee). It makes me smile every time because when FF listened to it before we got together, he thought of me. All together now: awwww.

Vermillion Pt 2
She seemed dressed in all of me
Stretched across my shame,
All the torment and the pain
Leaked through and covered me.

I''d do anything to have her to myself,
Just to have her for myself.

Now I don''t know what to do,
I don''t know what to do
When she makes me sad.

She is everything to me,
The unrequited dream,
The song that no one sings,
The unattainable.
She''s a myth that I have to believe in,
All I need to make it real is one more reason.

I don''t know what to do,
I don''t know what to do when she makes me sad.

But I won''t let this build up inside of me.
I won''t let this build up inside of me.
I won''t let this build up inside of me.
I won''t let this build up inside of me.

A catch in my throat, choke,
Torn into pieces, I won''t. No.

I don''t want to be this but
I won''t let this build up inside of me (won''t let this build up inside of me) x4

She isn''t real.
I can''t make her real.
She isn''t real.
I can''t make her real.

LOL, Sunny--Kris says the same thing about the song "The Perfect Girl" by The Cure. Looking at the lyrics, though, I'm not sure if I should be flattered or not!

The Perfect Girl

You're such a strange girl
I think you come from another world
You're such a strange girl
I really don't understand a word
You're such a strange girl
I'd like to shake you around and around
You're such a strange girl
I'd like to turn you all upside down

You're such a strange girl
The way you look like you do
You're such a strange girl
I want to be with you

I think I'm falling
I think I'm falling in
I think I'm falling in love with you
With you

That said, I do smile every time I hear that song. Men are such sweet creatures, aren't they? I love the lyrics to the song you posted, but I haven't heard it...I'll have to look it up on YouTube when I get home from work!
 
LOL never heard that one! Strange is good though, nobody likes regular.

It''s a good song, the guitar is beautiful, and Corey Taylor has a really nice voice for a metal screamer guy. Beware of part 1 though, it''s the first part of the story, when the girl he can''t live without is ... bad. It''s not pretty, kinda scary actually. Haha.
 
Honestly? Medical love song. Not only does it cover lots of diseases that I a studying, but, they love each other despite their momentous flaws. Do to the rather graphic nature of it, I don''t feel right posting the lyrics, but I recommend you look them up, because as the python boys said "you may have been infected, but you never were a bore."

LOL, B_I_H! I love Monty Python. And that definitely qualifies as unconventional!

Here''s the song (gotta love youtube!)--I love the beginning, it always makes me want to dance around.

Alright this is a little bit more conventional, but it''s my favorite...

Moby-Love Should

So we in sleep in beds we never made
Holding close to love, when love should fade
Holding on to this is the best thing we''ll ever do

The morning sun is sweet and soft on your eyes
Oh my love, you always leave me surprised
I feel my heart start to burst
With all my love for you

And oh how it rains
And oh how it pours
I never could feel this way
For anyone but you

And oh how it rains
And oh how it pours
I never could feel this way
For anyone but you

So we take some time and slip away
Holding on to love, when love should stay
Holding on to you is the best thing I''ll ever do

The evening sun is sweet and soft in your face
Oh I''ll never, ever leave this place
I feel my heart start to burst
With all my love for you

And oh how it rains
And oh how it pours
I never could feel this way
For anyone but you

And oh how it rains
And oh how it pours
I never could feel this way
For anyone but you

And this isn''t the real video of it (I don''t know that there is one) but it''s got the music.

And here''s the live version (he doesn''t like to play it-don''t know why):

And this will be played at our wedding.
