Bright Eyes – Lover I Don't Have to Love Lyrics 15 years ago
Excerpt from Collen Curran's book Whores on the Hill (pgs. 24-25) that relates to this song.
"Astrid said you should walk over, solo, and say something simple.
"I like your shoes."
"Are you in a band?"
"Nice tattoo" and "Hi."
You could ask, "Do you know the time?" or "Can I ask you a question?" and the not ask a question at all.
You could dance or you could stand there. Cup your hand over his ear to speak into it, an easy excuse with the music blaring. Like a drug, like a hook, the way you wanted to touch him, lightly, brushing his jeans with your leg.
He'd say, "Thanks." maybe, "What's your name?"
Or "You want to dance?"
Then "I've seen you." and "I know you." or "Want to go someplace quiet?"
And "Can I follow you?" and "You smell good. What's your name again?"
......
Later, he'd go, "I know a place." and "I know a kid."
"You turn me on."
"Your friends can come." and "Let's get out of here.""

Not that the song is about the book. Just very similar, especially this chapter.
