Deep Blue Something- Breakfast At Tiffany's
Blink 182- I Miss You ("We can live like Jack and Sally if we want/And you can always find me/And we'll have Halloween on Christmas").

That's it, isn't it?

I don't really understand this lyric, but maybe it applies (would someone please explain it?):

Guns N' Roses, "You Could Be Mine"

"I'm a cold heartbreaker
Fit ta burn and I'll rip
your heart in two
An I'll leave you lyin' on the bed
I'll be out the door before ya wake
It's nuthin' new ta you
'Cause I think we've seen that movie too"

"We Both Liked Arthur 2: On The Rocks ... How About It?" by St Vincent and the Grenadines ?

Not sure this quite counts, but "Too Drunk to Fuck" by the DK's...

Went to a party
I danced all night
I drank 16 beers
And I started up a fight

But now I am jaded
You're out of luck
I'm rolling down the stairs
Too drunk to fuck

Too drunk to fuck
Too drunk to fuck
Too drunk, to fuck
I'm too drunk, too drunk, too drunk
To fuck

I like your stories
I love your gun
Shooting out truck tires
Sounds like loads and loads of fun

But in my room
Wish you were dead
You ball like the baby
In Eraserhead

does "Debaser" have anything to do with relationships? cuz with its constant references to Bunuel's Un Chien Andalou, it'd be a shoo-in if it does

haha, i used to think the guy from the band who sang it looked like conan o'brien.

"A Man Needs a Maid" was a song written in a desperate attempt to HOOK UP with Carrie Snodgress. The heartbrokenness on display is from the collapse of Neil's first marriage.
