"'It's a sin that I / can't tell the truth'... 'I'll never say "happy anniversary"'
Across 69 Love Songs the singers are most often victims of love, more sinned against than sinning. This is one of the few songs that bucks this trend. (Another, which includes both sides, is Yeah. Oh, Yeah.)
'so the radio plays / "I Think I Need a New Heart"'
I Think I Need a New Heart refers to itself being played on the radio, and thus registers in the list of self-referential songs. In one scene in the film[Pieces of April, for which Stephin Merritt provided the soundtrack, the radio plays I Think I Need a New Heart. "

1.12 THE BOOK OF LOVE
"In the booklet accompanying the US release, Stephin Merritt describes The Book of Love as "sort of a manifesto for the album": the book of love would detail the etiquette of all aspects of courting across all cultures and all times.
LD Beghtol writes:
This was written while Stephin was on tour in summer of 1998, and was premiered at a Thursday night rooftop concert at the Rupert Goldsworthy Gallery in Chelsea.
I had curated a show called Imaginary Friends with artist Nayland Blake, and we'd asked Stephin to spend the day in the gallery composing — with people milling about in the tiny space as he played various ukes and wrote the lyrics on the wall with various markers and crayons. He performed The Book of Love and Let's Pretend We're Bunny Rabbits that night, and Flare and other musicians also played as the sun set over the Hudson. We all wept…
That Sunday we painted over the wall and that was that!
At the Lyric Hammersmith on 2001-01-19, as an 'encore' to the performance of the first 34 songs on the album, Peter Gabriel sang the song accompanied by Stephin and John Woo. Gabriel also sings an orchestral version of the song on the trailer of the film Shall We Dance?, and there is a mash-up of Gabriel's version with Everclear.
It has also been covered by Mike Doughty and by Boys Suck.
Another cover by the band Breakfast For Dinner as played on St. Louis Community Radio Station KDHX. "
'cause I always say I love you When I mean turn out the light. And I say let's run away When I just mean stay the night. But the words you want to hear You will never hear from me.

1.8 THE LUCKIEST GUY ON THE LOWER EAST SIDE
"A beauty and the beast song, from the perspective of the beast.
"The Lower East Side is the epicenter of songwriting history in the 20th Century," says Stephin Merritt in the 69 Love Songs booklet. Which is why he lives and works there. Irving Berlin, George and Ira Gershwin, many Tin Pan Alley writers, and (more recently) John Zorn have all come from the Lower East Side, an area of Manhattan that was popular with many immigrant populations, especially Jewish radicals, early in the century.
The song has been covered by Norwegian duo, the Kings of Convenience, though their version is not on general release.
