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

Send "Love in a Trashcan" Ringtone to Cell

    General Comment:This song is about trying to find a meaningful relationship while on the road in the sordid and transient world of clubs, bars and the music scene. Its an updated "Looking for love in all the wrong places". I read this in an interview with Sune fr Details magazine. Or maybe Rolling STone, i can't remember.
    Personally, i think it also means that you should'nt believe everything you hear about people in the scene. Someone might have a bad rep, but she might still "fit right into my life".

    General Comment:I 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 Comment:sune'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 Comment:I 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.
