Half Past Two - The Stunning

The fecking week before I first heard that, I was in Fibbers and missed a chance with a girl who asked me if I had any rubber balloons, I was a bit drunk at the time and just said no, but was thinking this ones a head case, why the hell is she asking if I've got balloons, and left as soon I could.

When I finally heard the song and realised what the rubber balloons reference was, I was straight back looking for her.

Before the days of girls putting glitter on , I had many a ' dry ride' to these songs

pavb2

And who can forget Fat Larry and his band . . . pure poetry

Zoom, just one look and then my heart went boom
Suddenly and we were on the moon
Flyin' high in a neon sky, oh oh

Bang, just one touch and all the church bells rang
Heaven called and all the angels sang
Sunrise shine in the midnight sky, oh oh

Oh zoom, you chased the day away
High noon, the moon and stars came out to play

Then my whole wide world went zoom
(High as a rainbow as we went flyin' by)
Faster and faster we were higher than high
For once in my lifetime I was finally free
And you gave that to me

Zoom, you chased the day away
High noon, the moon and stars came out to play
Then my whole world went zoom

Moonbeams dancin' in the afternoon
Shadows blowin' as the roses bloom
Lookin' down on a wonderland

Smack just one kiss and I was outta whack
All at once there was no turnin' back
All so far above the brighter star, oh oh

Oh zoom, you chased the day away
High noon, the moon and stars came out to play
Then my whole wide world went zoom
(High as a rainbow as we went flyin' by)
Faster and faster we were higher than high
For once in my lifetime I was finally free
And you gave that to me

Bryan Adams. Everything I do.

There are many good ones. Listening to Cutting Crew "died in your arms tonight". Bryan's is just the uncontestable king of love songs afaic.

Listen to your heart by Roxette

I think the 80s where definately the time for great love songs.

Everyone did a love song,

Paul Weller - You do something to me.

Pearl Jam - Wish List

Scarlet - Independent Love Song

Ane Brun - Oh Love

Chris Isaak - Wicked Game

The Cinematic Orchestra - To Build A Home

Rodriguez - I Think of You

Tom Waits - Martha

Better Than Christ

Meat Loaf - Two Out of Three Ain't Bad

Some lovely lines:

"I want you, I need you, but there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you, but don't be sad... 'cause two out of three ain't bad"

"You've been cold to me so long, I'm cryin' icicles instead of tears"

Also: "There ain't no Coupe de Ville hidin' at the bottom of a crackerjack box"
