They say, "Once you've found love and it's rarer than gold.
You stake your claim- it's so hard to hold."
I say, "We've struck a vein and it's wide as a road!"
Have we got love enough to go around?
Why don't you get a piece and pass it down?
Even a hundred million years from now
The love we make will still be putting out
We filled up our pockets till they would explode
And called the whole world here so they could behold
The light of our love beats the dark and the cold
Have we got love enough to go around?
Why don't you get a piece and pass it down?
Even a hundred million years from now
The love we make will still be putting out
I get the best of you, you get the best of me.
You know I come to you across the broadest sea.
For just a speck of you I'd trade the whole of me.
I wish each peck from you would last eternity.
Where the skin's thin and where the skin gathers.
When you're moving in and see it's all that matters.
Records left skipping, clothing all scattered,
A kiss in the kitchen, the dishes all shattered
We'll make a lover of you.
You stake your claim- it's so hard to hold."
I say, "We've struck a vein and it's wide as a road!"
Have we got love enough to go around?
Why don't you get a piece and pass it down?
Even a hundred million years from now
The love we make will still be putting out
We filled up our pockets till they would explode
And called the whole world here so they could behold
The light of our love beats the dark and the cold
Have we got love enough to go around?
Why don't you get a piece and pass it down?
Even a hundred million years from now
The love we make will still be putting out
I get the best of you, you get the best of me.
You know I come to you across the broadest sea.
For just a speck of you I'd trade the whole of me.
I wish each peck from you would last eternity.
Where the skin's thin and where the skin gathers.
When you're moving in and see it's all that matters.
Records left skipping, clothing all scattered,
A kiss in the kitchen, the dishes all shattered
We'll make a lover of you.

oh yes...the astounding glory of these lyrics, and well, Les Savy Fav in general
Les Savy Fav, is there anything they can't do? ... Uh... Don't answer that. Top song, though.
les savy will make a lover of you all
I wish each peck from you would last eternity
I love the way Les Savy Fav merge the words in this song together so well, it all just fits so perfectly into place.
Is this song about about excessive love??
They made a lover of me.
