Another one by Luna, from 'Sideshow by the Seashore':

Then I painted your face/On a twenty dollar bill/But it isn't legal tender/And I think about you still

Shithouse m8

I think A Night In Tunisia might possibly be bad lyrics, but how come it lifts my spirits so much? Some aberration there that needs sorting out.

six years pass...

"Thinkin Bout You" by Frank Ocean: an all-time classic slow jam, which makes an unrequited crush sound like some kind of communion with the divine. The falsetto is other-worldly.
But every time i hear it, i wish he'd just left out the second verse:

No, I don't like you, I just thought you were cool enough to kick it
Got a beach house I could sell you in Idaho
Since you think I don't love you, I just thought you were cute
That's why I kissed you
Got a fighter jet, I don't get to fly it though, I'm lying down

Actually the first verse is pretty dodgy too. It was like an act of intentional self-sabotage.
