Let Love In, please

Despair and deception, love's ugly little twins
Came a-knocking on my door, I let them in
Darling, you'e the punishment for all of my former sins
I let love in
The door it opened just a crack, but love was shrewd and bold
My life flashed before my eyes, it was a horror to behold
A life sentence sweeping confetti from the floor of a concrete hole
I let love in
Well I've been bound and gagged and I've been terrorized
And I've been castrated and I've been lobotomized
But never has my tormentor come in such a cunning disguise
I let love in
O Lord tell me what I done
Please don't leave me here alone
Where are my friends?
My friends are gone
I let love in
So if you're sitting all alone and hear a-knocking at your door
And the air is full of promises, well buddy, you've been warned
Far worse to be love's lover than the lover that love has scorned
I let love in.

Who doesn't love Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds?

And how about this song? Blue American by Placebo

I wrote this novel just for you
It sounds pretentious but it's true
I wrote this novel just for you
That's why it's vulgar
That's why it's blue
And I say, thank you
And I say, thank you
I wrote this novel just for Mom
For all the mommy things she's done
For all the times she showed me wrong
For all the times she sang god's song
And I say thank you Mom
Hello Mom
Thank you Mom
Hi mom
I read a book about uncle Tom
Where a whitey bastard made a bomb
But now ebonics rule our song
Those motherfuckers got it wrong
And I ask, who is uncle Tom?
Who is uncle Tom?
Who is uncle Tom?
You are
I read a book about the self
Said I should get expensive help
Go fix my head, create some wealth
Put my neurosis on the shelf
But I don't care for myself
I don't care for myself
I don't care for myself
I don't care
I wrote this novel just for you
I'm so pretentious, yes it's true
I wrote this novel just for you
Just for you
Just for you

How can you not love those pretentious pricks? I did once.
I think sometimes lyrics are slightly annoying poetry. I love lyrics.
