strangely romantic lyrics...

Say Anything - Alive With The Glory Of Love.
a song about the holocaust and love
it makes me fall in love over and over.




When I watch you, wanna do you, right where you're standing...yeah
Right on the foyer, on this dark day, right in plain view...oh, yeah
Of the whole ghetto, the boot-stomped meadows, but we ignore that, yeah
You're lovely baby, this war is crazy, I won't let you down...oh, no no...

No, I won't let them take you, won't let them take you...Hell, no no...
Oh, no...I won't let them take you, won't let them take you...Hell, no no...
No, oh no, no, no...

And when our city vast and shitty falls to the Axis, yeah...
They'll search the buildings, collect gold fillings, wallets, and rings...oh, yeah
But Miss Black Eyeliner, you'd look finer with each day in hiding, oh yeah
Beneath the wormwood, ooooo, love me so good...
They won't hear us screw away the day
I'll make you say:

"Alive! Alive! Alive with love, alive with love tonight..."
"Alive! Alive! Alive with love, alive with love tonight..."

(No, I won't let them take you, won't let them take you...Hell, no no...
Whoa, no...I won't let them take you, won't let them take you...Hell, no no...)

Our Treblinka is alive with the glory of love...
Treblinka, alive with the glory of love! Yeah!

(Okay, speed it up...Go!)

Should they catch us and dispatch us to those separate work camps
I'll dream about you, I will not doubt you with the passing of time...Oh, yeah
Should they kill me, your love will fill me as warm as the bullets, yeah
I'll know my purpose: this war was worth this
I won't let you down

No, I won't
No, I won't
No, I won't

(Alive! Alive! Alive with love, alive with love tonight...)
Hell no, no..Whoa, no, I won't let them take you, won't let them take you..Hell, no, no
No! No!

Wont you die tonight for love
Baby join me in death
Wont you die
Baby join me in death
Wont you die tonight for love
Baby join me in death

HIM - Join Me. anything by HIM..death and love is not your usual recipe for romance.

I have more, but I can't think of any right now

That's a favorite of mine.

i always thought this song was romantic and strange...

If I cut off your arms and cut off your legs
Would you still love me anyway?
If you're bound and you're gagged, draped and displayed
Would you still love me anyway?

Why don't you love me anyway?

Cutting with the knife, blood is spilling everywhere
She will be my wife, secondary spine,
incisions must be accurate, I know just what to do
My hands are trembling, I can't spare to slip up with this knife

Her beauty so illogical
The beast come gliding in
Hideous chameleon
stripped down to her skin

Dance to the burning flame
Pleasure exhumes the pain
The night bursts into flames
Dance Helena Dance

If I cut off your arms and I cut off your legs
would you still love me anyway?
There's a spot on the floor where your limbs used to be
and I close the door on my Fantasies

I Love you!
Why don't you love me anyway?

I'm going to agree that this is a good one to file under strangely romantic and strange alone, romantic alone, period. It's an interesting oddity conceptually.

"evil i've come to tell you that she's evil most definitely
evil, ornery scandalous and evil most definitely
the tension is getting hotter, i'd like to hold her head underwater."
-Sublime.

God.

Yes.

You taste like heaven...
But god knows you're built for sin

"It's a possibility to live without lips
Kleenex love to fill right up with all the broken kids
I swore I drank your piss that night to see if I could live
But my wrists couldn't stand the life that we missed"

Broken Social Scene--"I'm Still Your Fag"

God, yes. I just searched for this thread to post this. I've pretty much had it on a loop for about a week.

I hate your tattoos
You have weak wrists
But I'll keep you

First word you said in tears
complaining how I'm never near
I know I'm lost someimes
Cause I'm grounded in my mind

It's like that, It's like that all the time
First I say that you're ok then I go my own way
And you're desperate
You're so desperate when you're down

Here I stand
Take my hand
And I'll try to understand you right
Understand you right
In the best way that I can
Cause after all I am your friend

Last words you scream to me
You expect too much of me
Cause I could give you anything if I just could be myself
First I say that you're ok then I go my way again

And you're desperate
You're so desperate but still mine
Here I stand, take my hand
And I'll try to understand you right
Understand you right
In the best way that I can
Cause after all I am your friend

But now the girl's working
Now the girl feels fine
Now the girl's working
And I am the one, who feels down
Yeah the girl's working
Yeah the girl feels sine
And she'll be working
Till the end of time

And I hope that she will
understand me then
In the best way that she can
Cause after all I am her friend
Untill the end

"I'll go out of my mind, if I'm losing your touch"

You are, you are the drug I crave
And you burn like fire through my veins
You cool my fever, soothe my pain
And you are, you are the thing I need

- The Gathering - "You Are"

Carve your name into my arm
Instead of stressed, I lie here charmed

- Placebo - "Every Me, Every You"

You feel fat
And I feel ugly
Together we don't like anybody
I feel sick, 'cause I know you're gonna run
And I can't blame you
