Let's Talk Romance: New Top Five

I haven't been reviewing lately -- I've read at least ten books since the last review, but it seems like so much work to actually take notes and prepare a review, etc., etc. Plus, I know no one actually reads this, and I tend to have problems responding to self-motivation. Anyway, until I manage to scrape up another review or brilliant insight into romance fiction as it stands today, I decided to pick five new romance songs to replace the old five. Here we go:

1. Foreigner - Cold as Ice
No one does angst like Foreigner. Think "I Want to Know What Love Is."

I've seen it before
it happens all the time
you're closing the door,
you leave the world behind
you're digging for gold,
you're throwing away
a fortune in feelings,
but someday you'll pay

you're as cold as ice

2. Pink - You Make Me Sick

You make me sick
I want you and I'm hating it

3. NIN - Perfect Drug
This has long been one of my favourites.

You make me hard
When I'm all soft inside
I see the truth
When I'm all stupid-eyed
The arrow goes straight through my heart
Without you everything just falls apart

4. Nickelback - Saving Me
I ain't got no love for Nickelback, but I do like this song

These city walls ain't got no love for me
I'm on the ledge of the eighteenth story
And oh, I scream for you

Come please I'm calling
And all I need from you
Hurry, I'm falling, I'm falling...

5. Bif Naked - Lucky

How can I ever get over you,
When I'd give my life for yours?

I think my list is a bit moodier than last time. Angst is always on my mind, though I think the level of darkness required to satisfy me fluctuates. For example, I could have put NIN's "Closer" instead of "Perfect Drug" -- "Closer" is a much more dark and raw song. Maybe next list.
