I love Jude. Another good line is “I wish you wished I wished you love” from I Do. I also liked Indian Lover Boy’s first line “And if you wed another, I would have to kill you both in bed my lover.”

“Lover you should have come over…It’s not too late” Jeff Buckley’s Lover You Should Have Come Over.
Here’s a half-liner “catharsis between your knees…” Chris Whitley’s God My Heart Is Ready Now
