This Squeeze classic ALWAYS has me singing along (Great Lyrics)

'If I Didn't Love You'

If I didn't love you I'd hate you
Watching you play in the bath
A soap suds stickle back navy
A scrubbing brush landing craft
Your skin gets softer and warmer
I pat you down with a towel
Tonight it's love by the fire
My mind goes out on the prowl
If I.. if I.. if I.. if I.. if I....

If I didn't love you I'd hate you
I'm playing your stereogram
Singles remind me of kisses
Albums remind me of plans
Tonight it's love by the fire
The wind plays over the coals
Passionate looks are my fancy
But you turn the look into stone

If I didn't love you
Would you sit and glow by the fire
If I didn't love you
Would you make me feel so
Maybe love me
Oh if I didn't love you

If I didn't love you I'd hate you
Cocoa mugs sit side by side
It's time to poke at the fire
But it's not tonight
Looks I find
Taking a bite on a biscuit
The record jumps on a scratch
Tonight it's love by the fire
The door of your love's on the latch

If I, if I, if I
Didn't, didn't, didn't
Love you, love you, love you


On a non NW note: These tunes put me at risk for public embarrassment[:I]
'Fire and Rain' - James Taylor
'Hollywood Swingin' - Kool & The Gang
'Take The Long Way Home' - Supertramp
'You're So Vain' - Carly Simon
'Wish You Were Here' - Pink Floyd
Just about every track on Fleetwood Mac's 'Rumors' LP

Hollywoooooooood!
Hollywood swingin!"

"This is the day" By The The. I like to sing that one out loud. No matter how much I try to sound like Matt Johnson I allways end up sounding more like a bad version of Gordon Lightfoot. [:I]

I'll sing along to anything when I'm not busy dodging hobos downtown.

I tell ya, The Eurythmics' There Must be An Angel (Playing With My Heart) was always big in my book when it came to singing along [8D]
