I swear, this is my last one! Ideally, for a very, very long time. But I have actually wanted to do this one for a long time, because the moment I first heard this song, I was overwhelmed by the applicability. Any little ditty wherein the main message is 'Gosh, you're so cruel and evil -- I love you!' passes the D/D test with flying, sadistic colours. Probably lots of reds in particular. Blood! Sexy office walls!

Barricade by Stars
Trapped on the terraces, I looked at you and knew
You were the only thing that mattered
There was no one for me but you
In Harmony Street we beat a man
Just for standing there
I held my breath as I watched you swing
Then run your fingers through your hair
Oh, how could anyone not love the terrible things you do?
Oh, how could anyone not want to try and help you?
Oh, how could anyone not want to rip it all apart?
Oh, how could anyone not love your cold, black heart?
I found you on a Saturday, and that was where I lost you
You had finally walk away because of what it cost you
Years later when I saw your face
In line to catch the morning train,
You looked like you'd been softened
Like you never really loved the pain
Meet me at the barricade, I'll be at the barricade
Meet me at the barricade, the love died, but the hate can't fade
The love died, but the hate can't fade
