What is this feeling called love?

Pulp

The room is cold and has been like this for several months.

If  I close my eyes I can visualise everything in it right down,
Right down to the broken handle on the third drawer down of the dressing table.

And the world outside this room has also assumed a familiar shape
The same events stuffed in a slightly different order each day.

Just like a modern shopping centre.
And it’s so cold – yeah it’s so cold.

And as I’m standing across this room

I feel as if my whole life has been leading to this one moment.

And as I touch your shoulder tonight this room has
become the centre of the entire universe.

So what do I do? I’ve got a slightly sick feeling in my stomach
Like I’m standing on top of a very high building oh yeah.

All the stuff they tell you about in the movies
but this isn’t chocolate boxes and roses.

It’s dirtier than that, like some small animal that only comes out at night.

And I see flashes of the shape of your breasts and the curve of your belly
And they make me have to sit down and catch my breath.

It’s so cold yeah, it’s so cold.

What is this feeling called love?

(…)

Our glorious years have passed like flowers.

Edward Hooper

(…) That era has passed.

Nothing belonged to it exists any more.

He remembers those vanish years.

As though looking through a dusty window pane,

the past is something he could see, but not touch.

And everything he sees is blurred

and

indistinct.
