Non-traditional/weird love songs

[fredericks]

I'm sitting here struggling through my homework with my PC wired through my stereo and the last two songs that have played strike me as ? non-traditional songs about love. The first song was Kelly Price's take on Shirley Murdock's classic "As We Lay", a song about the morning after an adulterous liasion. Lovely stuff about messing up a marriage. Next was Anita Baker's "Fairy Tales", about a relationship that was anything but. Going through my playlist the only other song I find that sort of fits the criteria is The Toadies "Possum Kingdom", because that's just really screwed up. Oh, and AFI's "Silver and Cold" - vampire love song!

Anyone know any interesting non-traditional love songs they want to share? And no, Weird Al's "You Don't Love Me Anymore" does not count.

Hmm...I think Radiohead's "Exit Music for a Film" might fit. It is about two lovers attempting to run from robots and getting killed, after all.

never thought about it before
Just close your eyes and ignore
The dark that troubles you most
Don't let it be here

And if you see it again
Hold your breath and pretend
That you're already dead
You'll never be alone

I will always hold your hand, I'll never let you fall
'Cause nothing, nothing else matters at all
If you're scared, just think of me, 'cause you know I'd never let you be
Anywhere but with me

Forget the story you heard
Why are you worried about the dirt?
I don't think that you'll mind
When it's your time

'Cause I will be there with you
And we'll figure out what to do
So that you don't get bored
You'll never be alone

I will always hold your hand, I'll never let you fall
'Cause nothing, nothing else matters at all
If you're scared, just think of me, 'cause you know I'd never let you be
Anywhere but with me

So try to sleep with a smile
Promise I'll wait a while
To make sure that you moved on
You won't be lost

I will always hold your hand, I'll never let you fall
'Cause nothing, nothing else matters at all
If you're scared, just think of me, 'cause you know I'd never let you be
Anywhere but with me

See, that's sweet. Well, at least I believe it's sweet. What makes it non-traditional, besides the fact that I can imagine it being sung along to rock or new metal music? It doesn't seem particularly stalkish, even with the last bit of the refrain being "'cause you know I'd never let you be/anywhere but with me".
