Frankenmix 10.0 [Feb 07]
What is This Thing Called Love?

1. A song about the definition of love: “The Hand Song” – Nickel Creek
But they knew it was love,
It one they could understand.
He was showing his love,
And that's how he hurt his hands.


2. A song about the persuasion of love: “I Got Lost in His Arms” – Annie Get Your Gun
How I felt as I fell
I just can't recall.
But his arms held me fast
And it broke the fall.
And I said to my heart,
As it foolishly kept jumping all around,
I got lost,
But look what I've found.


3. A song about the pleasure of love: “I Could Have Danced All Night” – My Fair Lady
I could have danced all night!
I could have danced all night!
And still have begged for more.
I could have spread my wings
And done a thousand things
I've never done before.


4. A song about the pain of love: “I’ll Forget You” – Scarlet Pimpernel
I do not want you
And still you steal each
Breath I'm breathing from me
With just a touch you overcome me
And I let you
I will forget you
When I die


5. A song about the fidelity of love: “When I’m Sixty-Four” - Beatles
Will you still need me
Will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four?


6. A song about the inconstancy of love: “Did You Ever Have to Make Up Your Mind” – Lovin’ Spoonful
Did you ever have to finally decide
Say yes to one and let the other one ride
There's so many changes and tears you must hide
Did you ever have to finally decide


7. A song about the estrangement of love: “Build Me Up, Buttercup” – The Foundations
"I'll be over at ten,"
You tell me time and again,
But you're late.
I wait around and then
I went to the door,
I can't take any more,
It's not you.
You let me down again.


8. A song about the loss of love: “All Around My Hat” – Steeleye Span
Fare thee well cold winter
And fare thee well cold frost
Nothing have I gained
But my own true love I've lost


9. A song about the illusion of love: “To Each His Dulcinea” – Man of La Mancha
There is no Dulcinea,
She's made of flame and air,
And yet how lovely life would seem
If every man could weave a dream
To keep him from despair.


10. A song about the waning of love: “If Momma Was Married” – Gypsy
But Momma gets married
And...
Married...
And...
Married...
And never gets carried away


11. A song about the dangers of love: “Falling in Love With Love” – Rebecca Luker (Boys from Syracuse)
Falling in love with love
Is falling for make believe.
Falling in love with love
Is playing the fool.


12. A song about the aftermath of love: “The Pointless, Yet Poignant, Crisis of a Co-Ed” – Dar Williams
"Well, I guess our dreams went up in smoke."
And I said, "No, our dreams
Went up in dreams,
You stupid pothead."


13. A song about the falsity of love: “On My Own” – Les Miserables
And I know it's only in my mind,
That I'm talking to myself and not to him.
And although I know that he is blind,
Still I say there's a way for us.


14. A song about the opposite of love: “Coin-Operated Boy” – Dresden Dolls
This bridge was written
To make you feel smitten
With my sad picture
Of girl getting bitterer
