Sucker love is heaven sent
You pucker up our passion's spent
My hearts a tart your body's rent
My body's broken yours is bent
Carve your name into my arm
Instead of stressed I lie here charmed
Cause there's nothing else to do
Every me and every you
Sucker love a box I choose
No other box I choose to use
Another love I would abuse
No circumstances could excuse
In the shape of things to come
Too much poison come undone
Cause there's nothing else to do
Every me and every you
Every me and every you
Every me
Sucker love is known to swing
Prone to cling and waste these things
Pucker up for heavens sake
There's never been so much at stake
I serve my head up on a plate
It's only comfort, calling late
Cause there's nothing else to do
Every me and every you
Every me and every you
Every me,
Every me and every you
Every me
Like the naked leads the blind
I know I'm selfish, I'm unkind
Sucker love I always find
Someone to bruise and leave behind
All alone in space and time
There's nothing here but what here's mine
Something borrowed, something blue
Every me and every you
Every me and every you
Every me
Every me and every you
Every me [Repeats]
You pucker up our passion's spent
My hearts a tart your body's rent
My body's broken yours is bent
Carve your name into my arm
Instead of stressed I lie here charmed
Cause there's nothing else to do
Every me and every you
Sucker love a box I choose
No other box I choose to use
Another love I would abuse
No circumstances could excuse
In the shape of things to come
Too much poison come undone
Cause there's nothing else to do
Every me and every you
Every me and every you
Every me
Sucker love is known to swing
Prone to cling and waste these things
Pucker up for heavens sake
There's never been so much at stake
I serve my head up on a plate
It's only comfort, calling late
Cause there's nothing else to do
Every me and every you
Every me and every you
Every me,
Every me and every you
Every me
Like the naked leads the blind
I know I'm selfish, I'm unkind
Sucker love I always find
Someone to bruise and leave behind
All alone in space and time
There's nothing here but what here's mine
Something borrowed, something blue
Every me and every you
Every me and every you
Every me
Every me and every you
Every me [Repeats]

"my hearts a tart, your body's rent" - she cares not for him, and his body is the vessel to obtain gifts for free off of him ( through acts of sex ).
"Sucker love, a box I choose.
No other box I choose to use.
Another love I would abuse,
No circumstances could excuse." links to their relationship being merely a personal gain, where abuse through love is 'fair game'
Sucker love is known to swing.
Prone to cling and waste these things.
Pucker up for heavens sake.
There's never been so much at stake. - this refers to the feelings of annoyance felt by the gold digger, saying she is annoyed by the fact he is clingy when she doesn't actually love him. "pucker up for heavens sake" meaning that he should just shut-up and kiss her as that's what he wants, and he is wasting his time trying to woo her.
"Like the naked leads the blind.
I know I'm selfish, I'm unkind.
Sucker love I always find,
Someone to bruise and leave behind." - this is saying that she is totally in control of the relationship, and has him on a silver platter; toying with his emotions.
"All alone in space and time.
There's nothing here but what here's here's mine.
Something borrowed, something blue." - lastly, this is saying that love being omnipresent, it is almost "space-like" . she then refers to the wedding as nothing of any emotional value, saying "there's nothing here" . "something borrowed..." refers to once again, only materialistic goods, she sees the wedding as just a practical event, no emotional connections involved.
this is just my viewpoint of an amazing song :)
I think this song is about how destructive relationships are romanticized in our society. For example Twilight, by Stephenie Meyers encourages all the factors of an abusive relationship, intimidation, force, posessiveness... "Sucker love I always find, Someone to bruise and leave behind" could be interpreted as the normality with which people hurt their partners, as if it were an inevitable part of a relationship.
Our society encourages relationships formed purely to drive away loneliness and feel like somebody cares, rather than out of love for that specific person.
Every you and every me mocks this concept, for example "pucker up for heaven's sake, there's never been so much at stake" questions the importance of looks in partner selection, as if it were the most important thing in the world, which is what the media claims. I've picked apart a clearasil, axe and another advert for teeth whitening procedures (cannot remember the brand) and the message really relates to that song lyric.
"if you don't get rid of those pimples you'll never get the girls"
"this deodorant is like a magnet for girls"
"your wedding can only be perfect if your smile is white enough"
On the topic of weddings, "something borrowed, something blue", rather than a cute comment on being together forever is the mockery of all these traditions that are followed in the ceremony to prove to your partner that in 3 years you'll still care for them.
It's a beautiful song, in its own way.
Love it.
Just feels like thats what the song is about
-The first stanza is discussing the love between me and my girlfriend. I'm cold to her and we both have extremely skewed body issues that make us insecure physically and abusive towards ourselves.
-The second stanza refers again to my self abuse issues and my guilt. I take anger out on myself through self injury occasionally when I have a nervous break down. Right now the situation is stressing me out.
-I understand that I have other choices, and that my relationship is this box. Outside of this box is my lover who is being torn apart as well. I have no excuses, regardless of how often I make them, for what I've done to both parties.
-I have a lot of changes about to be set in motion in my life. Graduation from college and the loss of everyone who means anything to me and all of the stress of after and finding a job, etc. The only person who will still be here and with me without me having to change anything is my girlfriend. There's nothing else to do but be with her in 'sucker love.'
- I fell in love again with my ex, clinging regardless of how futile it is. I still need this fleeting love again, because everything is falling around me and this is the one thing that is real. I understand that I could run away with him, and leave everything behind, but there's too much to lose for either of us. He has to move and I have to stay.
- I let my girlfriend know that I was out until 3 A.M, or later. I always call her or message her when I get home, regardless of what time. I don't try to hide things anymore. I leave myself at her mercy.
- She should see everything, because I've been rendered bare by what I've done, but she doesn't. I'm selfish and unkind in all that I do, my affair just being the pinnacle of selfishness. I am purposely unkind to my girlfriend. I want her to hate me, but I don't want her to know. Anyone that has ever fallen in love with me has been damaged by me.
-Finally, there is no one I can open up to about everything that is wrong. Everyone is friends with each other, I have no one to help me with my situation. Everything in my head stays with me. Something borrowed, something blue reminds me of both of my lovers, both promising me forever. The ex I am borrowing, my girlfriend and I are both depressed and cause each other to be 'blue.'
Any time the song says 'Every me' on it's own I think about how two-faced I am. All of the 'me's that everyone sees that never quite cover the picture.
I don't have and never said I have a child. My ex is my high school sweetheart, my girlfriend and I have been together for like four years. I'm the only one supporting my girlfriend who refuses to do anything for herself, so I feel responsible for her because her life fell apart while I've been with her.
We've actually had an open relationship when she moved away for a few months, but she got jealous and closed it without consulting me after I had already accepted my feelings for someone else as real. So now all I can do is be mopey and lame about it. Sorry for the offense.
"all alone in space AND time"
according to Einstein space equals time
and the "every me" and "every you"
could be a reference to the same people in MULTIPLE DIMENSIONS of SPACETIME
JUST A THOUGHT :)
"Sucker lover box I choose,"
"No other box I choose to use," and
"Something borrowed, something blue" all refer to the TARDIS.
"All alone in space and time
There's nothing here and what here's mine" refers to The Doctor being a Time Lord and having nothing other than occasional companions. What he does have for himself is the TARDIS, which he "borrowed" from a factory and without the TARDIS there would be no real purpose to his existence.

Is anyone pulling a Doctor Who motif out of this?
I doubt that is what Brian intended to do (then again, maybe he would) but every down to "The Box I choose" "Sucker love I always find, Someone to bruise and leave behind" and "All alone in space and time
There's nothing here but what here's here's mine" seems to line up.
I know it's silly, but it made me giggle.
But definitely. Especially
"All alone in space and time
There's nothing here, but what here's mine.
Something borrowed, something blue
Every Me and every you."
As in the TARDIS is all he has, which he stole or 'borrowed' (I didn't feel the need to point out that it was blue), also the marriage reference, and the TARDIS being his 'wife'. But I like to think of "Every me and every you" as all of his regenerations and his companions.
Also, "No other box I choose to use" etc, also about the TARDIS
"Another love I would abuse,
No circumstances could excuse"
Which I see as the Doctor falling in love with (with varying depth) each of his companions, and fashioning into weapons, as pointed out by Davros at the end of series 4, and there being no excuse for it.
I love both these things too much.
