Love in a Trashcan

The Raveonettes

If you touch that girl You know it's okay
People say she's a whore anyway
I think she looks like a nice vamp
Looking for love in a trashcan

If you kiss that girl you won't be caught dead
She's the coolest girl you think you ever met
I think she fits right into my life
On the road till the end of time

Now the time is right and you feel the need
To go down low and receive a treat
The jukebox churns out songs about sex
Come on baby you're my best fix

    General CommentI really like the video for this song. It's so vintage and everything....with a cool kind of sixties/fifties kind of feel to it. Much like the guitar part in the song.

    General Commentsune's guitar is indeed very kink-esque, the overall feel of this album is genius... each song has a different theme, this one for example, is about the better-than-nothing feeling of hooking up with a harlot.

    General CommentI love this song. To me, this song is about how love and sex is so wasted on things like prostitution and one night stands and shit.

    General Commentit's very nice song....i like the guitar, especially. my opinion:sex isn't judged based on who have it.
    it may be a whore, a bitch, whatever,it's still sex. have fun

    Now the time is right, and you feel the need

    mixing themes..addiction,sex, whores...saying all these things are trashy
