Hear Mr Hag,



Thank you for your query. We hope that what follows answers it sufficiently. Note that we have highlighted the most relevant bits.



Yours sincerely,

The Benatar Foundation



CHORUS:
We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield
We are strong, no one can tell us we're wrong
Searchin' our hearts for so long
All of us knowing, love is a battlefield

You're makin' me go, then makin' me stay
Why do you hurt me so bad
It would help me to know, do I stand in your way
Or am I the best thing you've had
Believe me, believe me, I can't tell you why
But I'm trapped by your love and I'm chained to your side

CHORUS

When I'm losing control, will you turn me away
Or touch me deep inside
And if all this gets old, will it still feel the same
There's no way this will die
But if we get much closer I could lose control
And if your heart surrenders you'll need me to hold

CHORUS CHORUS

ah wise, sweet jane. i knew the answer was out there somewhere, and perchance i'd even heard it before. heart-felt thanks. love is indeed a battlefield and perhaps we are all unwitting casualties of this oh so cruel battle. but the weapons we chose, will we be answerable when the war has been won? or will the end justify the means? i just hope we all end up happy. i am still shy though... i feel i need snakey's input because he is wise in the ways of upstanding men.
love out,

haha

I am the love guru

You'll find me in the desert eating grasshoppers, a big hairy beard and wearing only a goatskin loincloth

oh come on snakey, this is more relevant than any of your "how do i know i'm actually here" bullshit. seriously, in your opinion, what is love?

[snakybus]

that's kinda broad though, no?

that's like "what is an apple"

come to guru snaky, let him verse you in the affairs of the heart....

what, are you talking about romance love? or the love of a good book? Or the love of two good friends? Or love of country?

I presume you mean boy-girl love, yes?

 

[guy of the tiger]

Love is picking her nose and eating it.

 

[swingkid]

...

 

[damien]

thought that was sXe as a weapon for a second...

 

[snakybus]

oh come on snakey, this is more relevant than any of your "how do i know i'm actually here" bullshit.

and hang about, I wasn't part of that philosophy thread anyway

don't blame me!

 

[MDR]

Love is a bit like indigestion, in that a couple of Rennies normally sort it out.

Hag, you wouldn't know love if it came up and loved you.

Don't bother asking Snakey: he's 80% water.

 

[snakybus]

and one-hon-derrid per-cent luv masheen!

 

[talkingllama]

Daddy or chips?

 

[snakybus]

For a good description of love of the romantic kind, I defer to Mon-sewer Stephen Merrit, the lovesong writer of our time.

-------------------------------------------------
I DON'T WANT TO GET OVER YOU

I don't want to get over you
I guess I could take a sleeping pill
and sleep at will
and not have to
go through what I go through
I guess I should take Prozac, right,
and just smile all night at somebody new
Somebody not too bright
but sweet and kind
who would try to get you off my mind
I could leave this agony behind
which is just what I'd do
if I wanted to
but I don't want to get over you
cause I don't want to get over love
I could listen to my therapist,
pretend you don't exist
and not have to dream of what I dream of
I could listen to all my friends
and go out again
and pretend it's enough
or I could make a career of being blue
I could dress in black and read Camus
smoke clove cigarettes and drink vermouth
like I was 17
that would be a scream
but I don't want to get over you
-----------------------------------------------------


So, hmmm.... it would seem that love is painful. Like a good curry.

But I guess people only want to hear about the pain.

Here's another, brevity being the soul of wit and all that:

--------------------------------------------------------------
THE CACTUS WHERE YOUR HEART SHOULD BE

The cactus where your heart should be has lovely
little flowers
so though it's always pricking me my ardor never sours
The cactus where your heart once was has power to rend and flay
I stick because I'm stuck, because I just can't tear myself away

-------------------------------------------------------------

not quite the sanme without the music though

He's gay too, so this is about boy-boy love too. Angry bum love!

oh snaky... swoon....
