what's your fave offbeat lovesong?

I'm not normally much of a fan of the typical love song, unless it's done execptionally well. Because let's face it, most love songs are cheesy crap.

I do however, like love songs that are a little offbeat in some way, whether it's the lyrics or the melody or something else.

My vote right now goes to Slade's "Coz I love You" love



You guys?

it kinda is and it kinda isnt
thats why i would call it an off beat love song

Toy Soldiers

wasn't my intention to mislead you
It never should have been this way
What can I say
It's true, I did extend the invitation
I never knew how long you'd stay

When you hear temptation call
It's your heart that takes, takes the fall
(Won't you come out and play with me)

(Chorus)
Step by step
Heart to heart
Left, right, left
We all fall down
Like toy soldiers
Bit by bit
Torn apart
We never win
But the battle wages on
For Toy soldiers

It's getting hard to wake up in the morning
My head is spinning constantly
How can it be?
How could I be so blind to this addiction?
If I don't stop, the next one's gonna be me

Only emptiness remains
It replaces all, all the pain
(Won't you come out and play with me)

(Chorus)
(Chorus)

its a very ambiguous song, can mean nearly anything
originally i believe its about drug abuse,
but even in that reference its still like a love song
maybe not to a person
but to a drug see?
