When the earth was still flat,

And the clouds made of fire,

And mountains stretched up to the sky,

Sometimes higher,

Folks roamed the earth

Like big rolling kegs.

They had two sets of arms.

They had two sets of legs.

They had two faces peering

Out of one giant head

So they could watch all around them

As they talked; while they read.

And they never knew nothing of love.

It was before the origin of love.

 

The origin of love

 

And there were three sexes then,

One that looked like two men

Glued up back to back,

Called the children of the sun.

And similar in shape and girth

Were the children of the earth.

They looked like two girls

Rolled up in one.

And the children of the moon

Were like a fork shoved on a spoon.

They were part sun, part earth

Part daughter, part son.

 

The origin of love

 

Now the gods grew quite scared

Of our strength and defiance

And Thor said,

"I'm gonna kill them all

With my hammer,

Like I killed the giants."

And Zeus said, "No,

You better let me

Use my lightening, like scissors,

Like I cut the legs off the whales

And dinosaurs into lizards."

Then he grabbed up some bolts

And he let out a laugh,

Said, "I'll split them right down the middle.

Gonna cut them right up in half."

And then storm clouds gathered above

Into great balls of fire

 

And then fire shot down

From the sky in bolts

Like shining blades

Of a knife.

And it ripped

Right through the flesh

Of the children of the sun

And the moon

And the earth.

And some Indian god

Sewed the wound up into a hole,

Pulled it round to our belly

To remind us of the price we pay.

And Osiris and the gods of the Nile

Gathered up a big storm

To blow a hurricane,

To scatter us away,

In a flood of wind and rain,

And a sea of tidal waves,

To wash us all away,

And if we don't behave

They'll cut us down again

And we'll be hopping round on one foot

And looking through one eye.

 

Last time I saw you

We had just split in two.

You were looking at me.

I was looking at you.

You had a way so familiar,

But I could not recognize,

Cause you had blood on your face;

I had blood in my eyes.

But I could swear by your expression

That the pain down in your soul

Was the same as the one down in mine.

That's the pain,

Cuts a straight line

Down through the heart;

We called it love.

So we wrapped our arms around each other,

Trying to shove ourselves back together.

We were making love,

Making love.

It was a cold dark evening,

Such a long time ago,

When by the mighty hand of Jove,

It was the sad story

How we became

Lonely two-legged creatures,

It's the story of

The origin of love.

That's the origin of love.

That doesn't describe love at all but it's very imaginative. Love (romantic love) is essentially selfish and not so sentimental in reality

You can't have love without angst...

 

So Cruel

 

We crossed the line

Who pushed who over?

It doesn’t matter to you

It matters to me

 

We’re cut adrift

But still floating

I’m only hanging on

To watch you go down...my love

 

I disappeared in you

You disappeared from me

I gave you everything you ever wanted

It wasn’t what you wanted

 

The men who love you, you hate the most

They pass through you like a ghost

They look for you but your spirit is in the air

Baby...you’re nowhere

 

You say in love there are no rules

Sweetheart

You’re so cruel

 

Desperation is a tender trap

It gets you every time

You put your lips to her lips

To stop the lie

 

Her skin is pale like god’s only dove

Screams like an angel for your love

Then she makes you watch her from above

And you need her like a drug

 

You say in love there are no rules

Sweetheart

You’re so cruel

 

She wears my love

Like a see-through dress

Her lips say one thing

Her movements something else

Oh love

Like a screaming flower

Love

Dying every hour

 

And you don’t know if it’s fear or desire

Danger of a drug that takes you higher?

Head of heaven

Fingers in the mire

 

Her heart is racing... you can’t keep up

The night is bleeding like a cut

Between the horses of love and lust

In a trampled underfoot

 

You say in love there are no rules

Sweetheart

You’re so cruel

To stay with you I’d be a fool

Sweetheart

You’re so cruel.

Close your heart to every love but mine; hold no one in your arms but me.

 

Love is as powerful as death; passion is as strong as death itself. It bursts into flame and burns like a raging fire.

 

Water cannot put it out; no flood can drown it. But if any tried to buy love with their wealth, contempt is all they would get.

"When you were young" by The Killers best describes the relationship that I am in now.

 

You sit there in your heartache,

Waiting on some beautiful boy,

To, to save you from your old ways.

You play forgiveness,

Watch it now,

Here he come.

He doesn't look a thing like Jesus,

But he talks like a gentleman.

Like you imagine,

When you were young.

 

When I met him, I had just been badly burned by another. Basically swearing off men. The first guy that was willing to wait through all of my $h!t. He treated me like a lady. Now exactly the type of guy that I expected to be my salvation by that's how it worked out.

I heart Hedwig!!! I love the "video" that goes with it. If I were a dreamer soul (see soul thread), I would vote for that, but unfortunately I'm not. Here's my vote (the lyrics seem off on a lot of sites):

 

Love Is a Losing Game

Amy Winehouse

 

For you I was a flame,

Love is a losing game

Five story fire as you came,

Love is losing game

 

One I wish I never played,

Oh, what a mess we made

And now the final frame,

Love is a losing game

 

Played out by the band,

Love is a losing hand

More than I could stand,

Love is a losing hand

 

Self professed profound

Til' the chips were down

Know you’re a gambling man

Love is a losing hand

 

Tho' I battled blind,

Love is a fate resigned

Memories mar my mind,

Love it is a fate resigned

 

Over futile odds,

And laughed at by the Gods

And now the final frame,

Love is a losing game

Ok, here's my "joke" answer:

 

I Heard Love Is Blind

 

I couldn't resist him

His eyes were like yours

His hair was exactly the shade of brown

He's just not as tall, but I couldn't tell

It was dark and I was lying down

 

You are everything - he means nothing to me

I can't even remember his name

Why're you so upset?

Baby, you weren't there and I was thinking of you when I came

 

What do you expect?

You left me here alone; I drank so much and needed to touch

Don't overreact - I pretended he was you

You wouldn't want me to be lonely

 

How can I put it so you understand?

I didn't let him hold my hand

But he looked like you; I guess he looked like you

No he wasn't you

But you can still trust me, this ain't infidelity

It's not cheating; you were on my mind

 

Yes he looked like you

But I heard love is blind...
