Awesome, I love that song (I don't know Lua though).

 

Lover I Don't Have To Love has some of the greatest lyrics ever, I just have to post them, although I know there's a thread somewhere around here... where is that thread anyway?

 

I picked you out

Of a crowd and talked to you

Said I liked your shoes

You said thanks can I follow you?

So it's up the stairs

And out of view

No prying eyes

I poured some wine

I asked your name you asked the time

Now it's two o'clock,

the club is closed we're up the block

Your hands on me

I'm pressing hard against your jeans

Your tongue in my mouth

Trying to keep the words from coming out

You didn't care to know

Who else may have been you before

I want a lover I don't have to love

I want a girl who's too sad to give a fuck

Where's the kid with the chemicals?

I thought he said to meet me here but I'm not sure

I got the money if you got the time

You said it feels good I said I'll give it a try

Then my mind went dark

We both forgot where your car was parked

Let's just take the train

I'll meet up with the band in the morning

Bad actors with bad habits

Some sad singers

They just play tragic

And the phone's ringing

And the van's leaving

Let's just keep touching

Let's just keep keep singing

I want a lover I don't have to love

I want a boy who's so drunk he doesn't talk

Where's the kid with the chemicals

I got a hunger and I can't seem to get full

I need some meaning I can memorize

The kind I have always seems to slip my mind

But you but you

You write such pretty words

But life's no story book

Love's an excuse to get hurt

And to hurt

"Do you like to hurt?"

"I do, I do."

"Then hurt me."

 

It's so empty, what they're doing, until the very end... when one is saying that love does nothing but hurt, and the other asks to be hurt. I know, I'm putting a romantic spin on it, but that's how I look at things...
