L is for LOVE, baby
O is for ONLY you that I do
V is for loving VIRTUALLY all that you are
E is for loving almost EVERYTHING that you do
R is for RAPE me
M is for MURDER me
A is for ANSWERING all of my prayers
N is for KNOWING your loverman's going to be the answer to all of yours

Nick Cave
Album: Let Love In 1994

We used to like it used to be,
In the sunset time of our dream,
For all these things we cannot change,
We cannot be,
We cannot stay.

But if you lose your faith,
Know that I am still your friend,
And if the sky falls down,
Know that I will still support you.

Out of Myself - In Two Minds

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.



...Either the music comes first and the lyrics are added, or music and lyrics come together. Only once have the lyrics been written down first - "Wish You Were Here". But this is unusual; it hasn't happened before
- Roger Waters
