Dear friends Fabbers and Forumites.

The Beautiful South , wrote the Song for Who Ever .

A singer thanking all the anonymous girls who bough his love songs , making him rich and famous.

There are so many love songs , we all know and are maybe overplayed .

So chums let's list our favourite unconventional love songs .

Singers or bands , not usually associated with love songs but who have written some of the most honest heart wrenching melodies.

I have loads but to whet your whistle here are just 2 from me .

Nick Cave and The Badseeds ,,, into my arms

Billy Bragg .. St Swithens Day

So please join in with your tunes of amour

I love Prefab Sprout for unconventionally romantic songs. Paddy McAloon is criminally underrated.

Cruel:

Should a love be tender, and bleed out loud?

Or be tougher than tough, and prouder than proud.

If I'm troubled by every folding of your skirt,

Am I guilty of every male inflicted hurt?

But I don't know how to describe the Modern Rose,

When I can't refer to her shape against her clothes.

With the fever of purple prose.

I Remember That:

And there's nothing pathetic listing clothes she'd wear

If it proves that I had you, if it proves I was there

Anne Marie:

Oh Anne Marie

This world's an unfamiliar place I see

When you're with me

When you're with me I hear

Strange music in undiscovered keys

When you're with me

Dragons:

The first time I saw you

I realized at once you were an angel in torment

How could I desert you?

I vowed in that moment

Nothing in this world or any other

Would ever threaten or hurt you

Dragons may guard your door

But I'm on my way to save you

Devils wage unholy war

But I'm on my way to save you
