1. Elvis Costello I Want You
http://youtu.be/knTvHRz_qnU This is perhaps the song of most intense, broken love, and wanton lust, jealousy, almost to the point of where it becomes threatening. I touched upon those lyrics from The Killers briefly, for personal reasons mainly, but this is it. This is broken down, not just emotionally, but mentally. I want you. The lyrics, Costello's performance both vocally and instrumentally, say more than I ever could; Oh my baby, baby, I love you more than I can tell I don't think I can live without you And I know that I never will Oh my baby, baby, I want you so it scares me to death I can't say anymore than I love you Everything else is a waste of breath I want you You've had your fun you don't get well no more I want you Your fingernails go dragging down the wall Be careful darling you might fall I want you I woke up and one of us was crying I want you You said young man I do believe you're dying I want you If you need a second opinion as you seem to do these days You can look in my eyes and you can count the ways I want you Did you mean to tell me but seem to forget I want you Since when were you so generous and inarticulate I want you It's the stupid details that my heart is breaking for Its the way your shoulders shake and what they're shaking for Its knowing that he knows you now after only guessing I want you It's the thought of him undressing you or you undressing I want you He tossed some tatty compliment your way I want you And you were fool enough to love it when he said I want you I want you The truth can't hurt you it's just like the dark It scares you witless But in time you see things clear and stark I want you Go on and hurt me then we'll let it drop I want you I'm afraid I won't know where to stop I want you I'm not ashamed to say I cried for you I want you I want to know the things you did that we do too I want you I want to hear he pleases you more than I do I want you I might as well be useless for all it means to you I want you Did you call his name out as he held you down I want you Oh no my darling not with that clown I want you You've had your fun you don't get well no more I want you No-one who wants you could want you more I want you Every night when I go off to bed and when I wake up I want you I want you I'm going to say it once again til I instil it I know I'm going to feel this way until you kill it I want you I want you
