Great love songs of the 21st century

Gilps · July 5, 2007

Allow me to make the case for Arab Strap's "There Is No Ending":

Not everything must end

Not every romance must decend

Not every lovers pact decays

Not every sad mistake replays

If you can love my growing gut

My rotting teeth and greying hair

Then I can gaurentee I'll do the same

As long as you can bear

If you love my little poofy hands

My skinny arms and reeking feet

The way I dance, the way I eat

If you love the morning spots

I try to squeeze before you're up to see

Each torn ankle, each weak knee

But still my moods must swing

To solitude I must still cling

And you won't love me every day

And suffer many a display

My plates may smash and doors may slam

My comments might be less than kind

But that won't mean I've changed my mind

I'm a huffy prick the best of times

I love to sulk and shout and squeel

But please don't doubt the way I feel

Cos when the sun burns up the earth

Our progeny will raise a can

"Here's to where It all began"

And everyday I hear the world is cracking up

The end is near

I hear we all should live in fear

Bullys, burglars, peadophiles, bird flu and passive smoke

(They're coming)

Volcanos, earthquakes, tidal waves, heart disease and strokes

(They're coming)

Terrorists with home-made poisons, factions everywhere

(They're coming)

They're drinking in the street and they could steal your name

And I don't care
