Valentine’s Day, and a chance to celebrate the things we love – like music. These are some of the most beautiful love related lyrics in my favourite songs.
The Maccabbees – Toothpaste Kisses
I’ll win your heart with a woop-a-woo / Pulling shapes just for your eyes / So with toothpaste kisses and lines /I’ll be yours and you’ll be mine
Natalie Prass – Christy
Does he?/ Slide each of his fingers down your back when he / When he puts a new record on
Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros – Home
Well, while you were sitting in the back seat smoking a cigarette you thought was gonna be your last, I was falling deep, deeply in love with you, and I never told you ’til just now!
Blur – To The End
Well you and I / Collapsed in love / And it looks like we might have made it / Yes, it looks like we’ve made it to the end
Flaming Lips – Do You Realize?
Do You Realize – that you have the most beautiful face/ Do You Realize – we’re floating in space / Do You Realize – that happiness makes you cry
Sharon Van Etten – For You
I do, I do / I’d wait for you / But you knew
The Shins – Simple Song
I swear that I dreamt / Your face on a football field / And a kiss that I kept / Under my vest
David Bowie – Heroes
We could steal time, just for one day / We can be Heroes, for ever and ever
Beach House – Real Love
You know, you know, we belong by the stream, to the dawn
Foals – This Orient
To glide past every city light / Like a satellite careering through the sky / This colour, this summer night
The Cribs – Be Safe
I’m tethered to this post you’ve sunk in me / And every clear afternoon now I’ll think of you, up in the air / Twisting your heel, your knees up around me, my face in your hair / You scream so well, your smile so loud, it still rings in my ears
Group Love – Tongue Tied
My eyes on your eyes / Like Peter Pan up in the sky
Camera Obscura – Let’s Get Out Of This Country
We’ll pick berries and recline / Let’s hit the road dear friend of mine/ Wave goodbye to our thankless jobs / We’ll drive for miles maybe never turn off /We’ll find a cathedral city you can be handsome I’ll be pretty
The Charlatans – One To Another
I’ll be at ease watching you sleep watching’ you smile / Love I adore you / Always looking for you
And So She Thinks
