about

This song is largely an excercise in rhyming; taken literally, the repetitive assertations of love don't make any sense, like the bible. Also like the bible, it doesn't make sense as a metaphor either.

lyrics

I love you
Like a child loves a dinosaur
Like Jesus loves the poor
Like Sparks love Faith No More

I love you
Like a son loves his twin
Like deadhead love a din
Like Ed o'Brien love Neill Finn

I love you
Like a nymph love to ----
Like a trucker loves his truck
Like a pig loves being stuck

I love you
Like the french love mime
Like lemon loves lime
like Hot Rod loves Optimus Prime

but love, love is not
love, love is not
love, love is not for me

I love you
Like The Emporer loves a death star
Like a cow love her heifer
Like a vagrant would love a meth bar

I love you
Like an artist loves chalks
Like a rambler loves walks
Like Skaters love Tony Hawks

I love you
Like we all love Betty Boothroyd
Like a miner loves being employed
Like Cobain loves being destroyed

I love you
Like a dictator loves his voice
like a liberal loves choice
like Andy Rourke loves Mike Joyce

but love, love is not
love, love is not
love, love is not for me

I love you
Like Buffy loved Spike
Like a poet loves open mic
Like the town stud loves the town bike

I love you
Like a man loves his wife
Like Pulp love life
Like Lothian loves fife

but love, love is not
love, love is not
love, love is not for me
