Supreme Beings of Leisure - Strangelove addiction

'Strangelove addiction' is a song with surreal lyrics that some how make me sit up and pay attention.
I don't know exactly what it means but I like the mystery.

I must deny the lullaby
The skin the touch that makes me high
I must deny not knowing why
The truth has left me dumb tongue-tied

Beth Orton- Stolen Car

I really enjoy this song especially when she rhymes gone with cinnamon. Also the line:
your fingers are like fuses

Here is an exerpt of the lyrics:

You said you stand for every known abuse
That was ever threatened to anyone but you.
And why should I know better by now
When I’m old enough not to?

While every line speaks the language of love
It never held the meaning I was thinking of.
And I can’t decide over right or wrong.

She repeats that line about abuse changing it each time:
Next it becomes:

You said you stood for every known abuse that was ever promised to anyone like you

and then:

Oh, yeah, you stand for every known abuse that I’ve ever seen my way through.
