Sick to Death of "Love Songs"

My list of sones for everybody else who is sick of (carnal) love songs:

Desiderata (Les Crane)

Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)
Times They Are Changin
My Way (take your pick)

You Raise Me Up

Heal the world (Micheal Jackson)
When The President talks to God
Big Rock Candy Mountain (Burl Ives)
Go Down Moses
What A Wonderful World
Mad World
Smile (by Charlie Chaplin)
Spirit in the Sky (Norman Greenbaum)
When I'm Gone (Phil Ochs)
Dear God (XTC version)
Life Is Wonderful (Jason Mraz)

Imagine

Three Little Birds

Old Man (N'dea Davenport)

Let the Sun Shine In (The Fifth Dimension)

Time of the Season (The Zombies)

Jumper (Third Eye Blind)

Pain (Three Days Grace)
Many Rivers to Cross (UB40)

Apeman (The Kinks)

Its A Long Way to Amphioxus (Sam Hinton)
Dear Penis (Rodney Carrington)
Take the Long Way Home (Bloodhound Gang)
Dig (Incubus)
In Dead Earnest (Pete Seeger)
You'll Have Time (William Shatner)


You might notice that I like "covers" - that's so I don't have to listen to the version I heard on the radio a million times!

Please, feel free to add to the list (the older the song, the better). The only thing not allowed are any kind of "romance" love song (carnal).

Other kinds of  "love" songs are ok, as long as they're not about two people who are: moping, mooning, longing, or anything else, for each other.

My roommate read this post and made the (very astute) comment that “cynicism is setting in”.

My Roomates' contribution:
Comfortably Numb (Pink Floyd)
Money (Pink Floyd)
How Much is the Doggy in the Window?

After much internal debate and a conversation with Randy (roommate) I've decided to add:

Lola by The Kinks  -

as it's NOT really a love song, but a song about gender identity and the need for one to be aware that it is out there and you could find yourself in this situation if you're not careful, or maybe even if you are.
