Here's a favorite of mine that doesn't seem to require a whole lot of context, LOL ...

"Don't want your bullshit, yeah
Just want your sexuality"

Songwriter: Kate Bush
Song: The Song of Solomon
Album: The Red Shoes
The bluesy song "Not Sick of Love" from the album "at the feet of old bristlecone" by Joshua Lowe and the Juncos has some really great lyrics:

When I met you I was hungry
I was hungry and sleepy too
I woke one day and I realized
that I’m not sick of love
I’m just sick of you

When I fell in love I was in a hurry
and you made my heart act the fool
you filled my head full of doubt and worry
but I’m not sick of love
I’m just sick of you

I’m not tired of the stars in the night
or the sky full of blue
I’m not tired of being held close and tight
I’m just tired of you

When I said I loved you we’d been drinking
and out the window reason flew
This six month hangover’s got me thinking
That maybe I’m not sick of love
I'm just sick of you

I’m not tired of the sky at twilight
or the rising of the moon
I’m not tired of being kissed goodnight
I’m just tired of you

Hope there’s no hard feelings
we all got to do what we got to do
Maybe it was just the wrong season, I don’t know
either way I’m not sick of love
I’m just sick of you

I’m so tired of fighting all night long
I’m so tired of feeling blue
I’m so tired of singing this same damn song
But I’m not sick of love
I'm just sick of you
