A spillover category from the song lyric thread:

Love Songs where the object of the affections isn’t quite human (you may quote from the song, tho the next person can delete that):

1. Echo and the Bunnymen: Lips Like Sugar

> [@](#):
>
> She floats like a swan  
> Grace on the water  
> Lips like sugar  
> Lips like sugar  
> Just when you think you’ve caught her  
> She glides across the water  
> She calls for you tonight  
> To share in this moonlight
> 
> You’ll flow down her river  
> She’ll ask-can you give her?
> 
> Lips like sugar  
> Sugar kisses  
> Lips like sugar  
> Sugar kisses
