I was at a pub last night with my girlfriend - they were playing the usual expected valentines mush (coldplay, some feeder) and then this came on - i had to laugh!

I'm one of those weirdos who are against celebrating Valentine's and the likes
BUT if you want to discuss love songs, one which is defitely worth a mention comes from an unlikely source.
You know Nick Cave.
His lyrics are full of violence, addictions and biblical catastrophy.
But one of the first times that he decided to sit down and write a REAL love song, he came up with a (imho) masterpiece
I don't believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Not to touch a hair on your head
To leave you as you are
And if He felt He had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms
And I don't believe in the existence of angels
But looking at you I wonder if that's true
But if I did I would summon them together
And ask them to watch over you
To each burn a candle for you
To make bright and clear your path
And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love
And guide you into my arms
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms
And I believe in Love
And I know that you do too
And I believe in some kind of path
That we can walk down, me and you
So keep your candlew burning
And make her journey bright and pure
That she will keep returning
Always and evermore
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms
