Radiohead - Creep
Rigsy - ATL Presenter
Unconventional as it is, 'Creep' is still a love song. A one way love song, but a love song all the same. Also, if 'Creep' was written today, the guy in question would probably be flat out doing his stalking online and Thom Yorke would be finding something to rhyme with 'facebook'. Given jilted lovers the world over are today flat out on social networking sites today checking out what their ex's are at, this track seems very apt....

Prince is a man known for being in love with the very concept of love, but on this track from his amazing Sign O' The Times album, he actually manages to out do himself by being…kind of sweet, actually. Detailing the story of a waitress he becomes smitten with, Prince finds himself invited back to her house, where things soon take on a romantic edge. But Prince, being the gentleman he is, states that he won't do anything naughty because he's "kinda going with someone now", impressing the girl with his honesty. Then the phone rings, and she refuses to answer it, because whoever's calling "Can't be as cute as you." It all has a happy ending when he bins the girl he's already seeing, and decides to stay monogamous. Fair play to him.

It may sound a bit morbid when you first listen to it, but the line 'To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die' clearly conveys that the song is about love. In my opinion, one of greatest love songs of the last 25 years or so.
