define "NON-SOPPY".

I nominate "I've Got You Under My Skin".

feel free to use your own definition of non-soppy

She said it was just a figment of speech
And I said you mean 'figure'
And she said no 'figment' because she could never imagine it happening
But it did
When we first met, I played the shy-boy
When she spoke to me for the first time, my nose began to bleed

She guessed the rest

The next day we went on a bus ride to the ferry
And when nobody came to collect our fares, why, I knew then this was something special

I couldn't stop thinking about her
And everytime I switched on the radio, there was somebody else singing a song about the two of us

It was just like being on a fast ride at the Fun Fair
the sort you want to get off because it's scary
and then, as soon as you're off,
you want to get straight back on again

But oh love is strange
And you have to learn to take the crunchy with the smooth I suppose

She began going out with Mr. Potato Head
It was when I saw her in the car park with his coat around her shoulders
I realized

I went home and thought about the two of them together until the bath water went cold around me

I thought about her eyes and the curve of her breasts and about the point where their bodies met

I confronted her about it
I said 'I'm the most illegible bachelor in town'
And she said 'Yea, that's why I can never understand any of those silly letters you send me'

And then one day it happened
She cut her hair
And I stopped loving her.

That was Billy Bragg's version of "Walk Away Renee", by the way.

David A. (Davant), Wednesday, 28 May 2003 04:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Sorry, Bragg again. "A Lover Sings" this time:

You and I are victims of a love
That lost a lot in the translation
When I think of all the time that I spent
Sitting on the edge of your bed in anticipation
Of you giving in and us living in sin

A hot day, the smell of hairspray
And the sound of a shower running softly
It's things like this that remind me of how I felt
The first time you came back for coffee
The way you took it amazed me

Walking in the park, kissing in the dark
And my head against your pillow
Late at night a lover sings
Adam and Eve are finding out all about love
I say Adam and Eve are finding out all about love

There is no real substitute
For a ball struck squarely and firmly
And you're the kind of girl who wants to
open up the bottle of pop
Too early in the journey
Our love went flat just like that

It doesn't matter the colour of the car
But what goes on beneath the bonnet
Is there a flag that flies above your heart
And is my name writ there upon it
Wedding cake and toothache
Equals love and pain

Walking in the park, kissing on the carpet
And your tights around your ankles
Late at night a lover thinks of these things
Adam and Eve are finding out all about love
I say Adam and Eve are finding out all about love
Adam and Eve are finding out all about
Adam and Eve are finding out all about love
Teresa and Steve are finding out all about love

Running Back (Lynott)
------------

I'm a fool now that it's over
Can you guess my name?
I make my money singing songs about you
It's my claim to fame

When they say it's over
It's not all over, there's still the pain

I'd come running
I'd come running back to you again
Oh I'd come running
I'd come running back to you again

If I said I was sorry
Would you still leave me?
I never thought you'd go 'till you did
Believe me

When they say it's over
It's not all over completely

'Cause I'd come running
I'd come running back to you again
Yes I'd come running
I'd come running back to you again

I miss that girl

The show is over
and we must all go home
Just leave me by myself
I'll be alright here on my own

If it's all over, it's all over
And I'm all alone

And I'd come running
I'd come running back to you again
Don't you know I'd come running
I'd come running back to you again

Daniel Johnston "Come See Me Tonight"

Come to me tonight
If you can hear me thinking
Come to me tonight
I don't need to invite
If you can catch the vibes
Come to me tonight

Yesterday is gone again
I'm thinking how it might have been

It's getting really late
And I'm not feeling too great
Come to me tonight
Girl, come share my dream
'Cos reality sucks
Come see me tonight

I know you've thought of it before
I'm waiting for the knock upon my door

Please don't make me beg
If you can hear my thinking
Come see me tonight
I'm not pulling your leg
Can you hear me calling
Come to me tonight

I'm hopin for a girl like you
None other would really do
Come to me tonight
