** Given that the chorus of "Love Me Dead" implies that the woman to whom the song's addressed is a very intense lover in the physical sense, the singer might not (or might not ''just'') be insulting her when he says that "You suck so passionately".
** The boyfriend in "All the Stars in Texas"'s OutlawCouple finishes the song by seducing the girlfriend with the lines, "Let's hit it, baby, one more time/Let's see the goods nice and slow", echoing what she says when she's eager to go on another heist and what he's probably said to his share of marks to wrap things up on a reaffirmation of how much they enjoy their life together on two levels.
