I was listening to Martha by Tom Waits earlier. That's a pretty awesome love song. A young man singing about being an old man remembering what it was like to be a young man and in love. And it got me thinking about love songs.

I've just been listening to Always On My Mind on youtube. Willie Nelson and Elvis but not pet shop boys. Haven't heard that version since I was a kid and don't want to.

Anyway, I think this is at least in the top five.

I'm not sure about the song but this should definately be the cover art:

Damn - only 10 minutes elapsed between initial post, and full-on Marsupialization...

Speaking of angels and... um... "love":

"I Don't Claim to be an Angel" by Kitty Wells.

I woulda liked her to've sung that one to me. Except she's dead.


Edit: She is not dead. If she posts here, I am very sorry, Kitty Wells, for thinking you were dead. You're just 88.

I'm impressed actually. I figured the first reply would say "too drunk to fuck" or something equally as "hilarious" (that's what I would have done).

Exactly. My first thought was Slayer's "Angel of Death", but Marsup's post really couldn't be more perfect. I mean - dear fucking Christ. There's so much wrong with that photo I just... can't even process it all. Well played.

Yeah, I have to admit that I immediately thought of that tender ol' tearjerker "She Fucks Me":

She crossed the room, the lights sank low.
We're together, she really digs me.
She fucks me.

Who would think I could be so happy?
When I'm cold, I know she's keepin' me warm.
We're together, she really digs me.
She fucks me.

She's in my arms, she's in my heart.
Pins and needles up and down my spine.
We're together, she really digs me.
She fucks me.

I think She Fucks Me is a great love song. But specifically for people who are in a fairly new relationship and aren't ready to assign songs about eternal love as "their song" or what have you.

Truly agreed - and if you've never heard any of the renditions where they were backed by the country band ("Stu Basore on pedal steel, ladies and gentlemen!") then you're really missing out...
it might even choke you up a little bit.
