What is love anyway? (for cuorefelice34)

[muckefuck]

1. Live is like a razor blade: double edge for double pain.
2. Love is like a bottle of gin, but a bottle of gin is not like love.
3. Love is a stranger in an open car to tempt you in and drive you far away.
4. If you don't cry, it isn't love; if you don't cry, then you just don't feel it deep enough.
5. And love is real, and though I realise this is not a deep observation to those of you who find it necessary to conceal love or obscure it as is the fashion.
6. In honour of our beloved revolutionary sweetheart: Nothing more, nothing less, love is the best.

(Those of you looking for some cheap meme-ish entertainment, name the artist and--extra bonus points!--song title for each quote.)

1. "The nature of love" Ministry
2. "Love is like a bottle of gin" The Magnetic Fields
3. "Love is a stranger" The Eurythmics
4. "If you don't cry" The Magnetic Fields
5. "Life is grand" Camper Van Beethoven
6. "It must be love" Madness

Edit: No wonder no one got the Ministry quote! Me and my mondegreens!

Dunno...

But I really like #4.

That is all.

I don't know any of them but I am now sooooo in the mood for my morning martini.

it makes you blind, it does you in
it makes you think you're pretty tough
it makes you prone to crime and sin
it makes you say things off the cuff

it's very small and made of glass
and grossly overadvertised
it turns a genius to an ass
and makes a fool think he is wise

it could make you regret your birth
or turn cartwheels in your best suit
it costs a lot more than it's worth
and yet there is no substitute

they keep it on a higher shelf
the older and more pure it grows
it has no color in itself
but it can make you see rainbows
you can find it on the Bowery
or you can find it at Elaine's
it makes your words more flowery
it makes the sun shine, makes it rain
you just get out what they put in
and they never put in enough

That does it. It's 5pm somewhere!

It Must be Love, Love, Love

"Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath. At night, the ice weasels come."

3. is "Love is a Stranger" by the Eurythmics.
5. is "Life is Grand" by Camper Van Beethoven (but you knew I knew that one).

Only two, how sad is that?

I'm surprised, though, that you're the first to get #3. I would've thought I could count on homosexuals for Annie Lennox lyrics, for crying out loud! Not for the first time, you prove yourself gayer than my gay friends.

As a reward, I add a line in your honour.

Ahhhh, THAT'S why #6 was *not* Camper van Beethoven, but instead Madness (It Must Be Love). I was very confused by that.

Love?

Groening said it best:

Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath. At night, the ice weasels come.

I thought that was Nietzsche?

[muckefuck.livejournal.com]

HA! bunj beat you to that, too!

2 & 4 are easy calls: The Magnetic Fields. The titles are in the quotes. "Playing strip poker with an exhibitionist takes all the challenge away."


But I'll raise you one: Love is a ghost, haunting your head
Love is the killer you thought was your friend
Love is the creature who lives in the dark
Sneak up and stick you and painfully pick you apart.

One just for you
