I want to make a Forbidden Love mixtape

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

Right, so the state of mind I'm in, all I want to hear is songs about forbidden love. Not unrequited love - if I wanted that, I have my life.

Obviously the first song on the mix would be "Not Gonna Get Us" but for some reason subsequent additions have proved rather more difficult.

So, I put it over to the ILM massive - 20 tracks by the time I wake up?

Lots of Pulp songs to thread (although perhaps that love isn't so much forbidden as it is sticky, sloppy, and of dubious moral standards).
