Eels – Love of the Loveless Lyrics 18 years ago
It is "Love of the Loveless"; yes.

I think the meaning is pretty easy to figure out, though.
I always kind of felt I identified with it. [In fact, I'm feeling that way now.]

But I think it's someone who feels that they are, inside, loveless, because of the lack of affection directed towards themselves, they project affection unto others to give them a sense of love - the lazy optimism and support that leaks out of them is some way of trying to make up for the sheer lack of it/understanding they feel is coming back their way.

"Don’t have too many friends
Never felt at home
Always been my own man
Pretty much alone"
I don't have that many friends; I'm a little strange, so I've always been sort of a loner.

"I know how to get through
And when push comes to shove
I got something that you need
I got the love
Love of the loveless"
But I know how to pull through the tough times and keep it level, I know I'm needed, because I am your support, from that I learn to support myself.

Sort of.
I'm sorry. It's 5AM, I'm doing an awful job at conveying this.
