I Don't Want To Get Over You

...by The Magnetic Fields!



I don't want to get over you. I guess I could take
a sleeping pill and sleep at will and not have to
go through what I go through. I guess I should take
Prozac, right, and just smile all night at somebody new,
Somebody not too bright but sweet and kind who would
try to get you off my mind. I could leave this agony behind
which is just what I'd do if I wanted to, but I don't
want to get over you cause I don't want to get over love.
I could listen to my therapist, pretend you don't exist
and not have to dream of what I dream of; I could listen
to all my friends and go out again and pretend it's enough,
or I could make a career of being blue--I could dress
in black and read Camus, smoke clove cigarettes and drink
vermouth like I was 17 that would be a scream but I
don't want to get over you.

Two More Years



In two more years, my sweetheart, we will see another view
Such longing for the past for such completion
What was once golden has now turned a shade of grey
I've become crueler in your presence

They say: "be brave, there's a right way in a wrong way"
This pain won't last for ever, this pain won't last for ever

Two more years, there's only two more years
Two more years, there's only two more years
Two more years so hold on
Two more years, there's only two more years
Two more years, there's only two more years
Two more years so hold on
Two more years, there's only two more years
Two more years, there's only two more years
Two more years so hold on

You've cried enough this lifetime, my beloved polar bear
Tears to fill a sea to drown a beacon
To start anew all over, remove those scars from your arms
To start anew all over more enlightened

I know, my love, this is not the only story you can tell
This pain won't last for ever, this pain won't last for ever

Two more years...

You don't need to find answers for questions never asked of you
You don't need to find answers
You don't need to find answers for questions never asked of you
You don't need to find answers
You don't need to find answers for questions never asked of you
You don't need to find answers

Dead weights, balloons
Drag me to you
Dead weights, balloons
To sleep in your arms

I've become crueler since I met you
I've become rougher, this world is killing me

And we cover our lies with handshakes and smiles
And we try to remember our alibis
We tell lies to our parents, we hide in their rooms
We bury our secrets in the garden
Of course we could never make this love last
I said of course we could never make this love last
The only love we know is love for ourselves
We bury our secrets in the garden

Bizarre Love Triangle

...by Nouvelle Vague



...by New Order



Every time i think of you
I feel shot right through with a bolt of blue
It's no problem of mine but it's a problem I find
Living a life that I can't leave behind
There's no sense in telling me
The wisdom of a fool won't set you free
But that's the way that it goes
And it's what nobody knows
While every day my confusion grows
Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You'll say the words that I can't say

I feel fine and I feel good
I'm feeling like I never should
Whenever I get this way, I just don't know what to say
Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday
I'm not sure what this could mean
I don't think you're what you seem
I do admit to myself
That if I hurt someone else
Then I'll never see just what we're meant to be
Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You'll say the words that I can't say

…i'll rip my heart in two!!

...
Come Into My Heart, David Fonseca




I'll lit the fire, lit the fire tonight
I see your body by the trembling light,
I see light, I see
Let's have our fancy clothes out of the way
I see a hallo but I can't see the face
through the haze, through the

You spit/This spark/That lights/this fuse
that burns/and leads/inside/into
This heart/like red/like white/like dead
live love/a place
A place that you'll call home,
so come

Come into my heart
Love it, make it start
Come into my heart
Love it, rip it apart

I'll lit the fire, lit the fire tonight
There's mixed feelings, but this fire feels right,
it feels right, it feels

We'll get our skinny bones out of the way
I've got this urge and this feeling can't wait,
can't wait, it can't
Your tongue/it turns/and
water/comes it through
and fire/it burns/inside/of you

The words/you said/like poems/like led
like bullets/that melt
In the place that you'll call home
So come

Come into my heart
Love it, make it start
Come into my heart
Love it, rip it apart
Come into my heart
Shine above the stars

Enough for you, enough for two
It's me for you, like tea for two

This heart ain't made of gold
It has no self control
Your love will get me through
I'll give myself to you
I'll give my soul to you
I'll rip my heart in two
