Violent Love Songs?

Maybe a little weird, but after hearing Ludo in a recent House MD commercial, i got their cd on a whim and really like the style of music they do. Its sort of like a pop rock, violent-love-song type deal.
I also really enjoy The Misfits adventures into this territory, like Dig Up Her Bones, Saturday Night, Hybrid Moments, and Skulls.
Something about combination of violence and sweet lyrics just makes me dig it.
So I was wondering if any of you guys who were more familiar with modern rock had any ideas on songs or bands that covered this topic as well.

I don't know if you would consider this a violent love song, but in the soundtrack of Resident Evil Apocalypse, there is a song that talks about love and suicide:
H.I.M. - Join Me In Death
Another possibility is the German band Rammstein with the song "Du Hast".

The Blood Brothers - Love Rhymes with Hideous Car Wreck
As I Lay Dying - 94 Hours
Poison The Well - Nerdy (This one takes the cake really.)

What makes me feel this way?
Carry me away with silence and heartbeats as rapid
Thinking about your embrace
And how it makes me feel
I just want to feel this way forever
Sleep on portraits painted as perfect as you
Why have I been given the chance to fly
When I'm not with you I feel lesser alone
Why have I been given the chance to fly, away?
I remember your face imprinted on angels
Your voice as beautiful as the sounds of waves
Crashing against my heart
Time slows down when you look at me
I'm infatuated with this / infatuated with you
I remember your face imprinted on angels
It's so hard for me to understand
Why I hadn't found you before
Don’t dull away,
Hold my hand
"Nobody Likes You" might be something along the lines you're looking at?
It's a little more comedic, I guess.
The song Physical from the album Broken
From The Downward Spiral:
Closer
Reptile
Big Man With A Gun (You said violent, right?)
Those are the more 'violent' ones I can think off. His stuff becomes less heavy over time.
By Puscifer:
The Undertaker
Revelations 22:20 (The one from the Underworld soundtrack is better IMO)
This Love - Pantera
Passenger - Deftones
And just cause I feel like pissing people off Under the Moon by Insane Clown Posse.
I keed. Don't kill me.
Later on, all alone, sat around the house kickin it
My girl came home, I told her shit had been
Real fucked up, so girl, dont push me
She pulled her skirt up, and said, he could need some pussy
I just sat back, my legs started shakin
Now heres another stupid bitch that I be breakin
I grabbed the slimmy by her hand, and lead her upstairs
Threw her down on the bed, and she said, fuck, yeah!
I opened up her legs, prepared her for the stabbin
Like mike tyson in a brawl, boy, I was jabbin
The bitch was sweatin, but I guess she wasnt bothered
Cause all she said was, fuck me harder, fuck me harder!
I started bangin, I was bangin, dick was numbin
She wasnt hangin, she was singin, brad, Im comin!
Up and down, side to side, perfect timin
I started stickin with the quickness, we were grindin
I was just about to nut, she got on top of me
I heard a (*shot*) now what the fuck? somebody shot at me
I took a look, the girl was cooked, her head exploded
Reached for the uzi at my foot, and I unloaded
They also did a really good cover of No Ordinary Love by Sade that I think you'd probably like.
Trent knows all about violent love songs.
Nick Cave & Kylie Minogue - Where The Wild Roses Grow
I second NIN, but REALLY second anything Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds have done.

Thirding "Murder Ballads" by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.

Eddie Perfect- The Juice Bar Girl

And Steady Rollin by Two Gallants has a verse about killing his wife
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AWCRkcCKm8
Megadeth - Loved You To Deth
Anthrax - Crush
It seems like there's a Gwar song that would fit, too, if I can think of it and you're ok with more juvenile stuff.

Lyrics:
and death lay in my arms as colors fade
from gold to gray
gray now broken my foolishness displayed
hands tight around her throat this violent loving embrace
lying restful safe in my arms
steady rhythm trust she'll come to no harm
feel her tremble as the nightmare begins
sleep the horror as the nightmare it ends
I hear her whisper a sweet sound fanning the flames
these thoughts consume me and leave me wallowing
gray now broken my foolishness displayed
hands tight around her throat this violent loving embrace
my fingers tremble her lips move silently
one last i love you crush my resolve again

"Smother Me" -The Used
"I Got Yo Money" -Ol' Dirty Bastard
'Back off Bitch' by Guns n' Roses off Use Your Illusion I may fit this from a lyrical standpoint, although it might be too up-tempo.
'Self Esteem' by Offspring kinda-sorta fits.
edit: can't believe I forgot 'Die Die My Darling', again performed by (but not written by) Metallica on Garage Inc.:
Die, die, die my darling
Don't utter a single word
Die, die, die my darling
Just shut your pretty mouth
Don't cry to me oh baby
Your future's in an oblong box
It carries on in that fashion.
It's Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Another song of his was mentioned on the first page, with Kylie Minogue.
I want to tie you, crucify you,
Kneel before you, revile your body,
You and me, were made in heaven,
I want to take you, I want to break you
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
The original's by the Misfits, for what it's worth.
That disclaimer is hilarious. I'm going to assume it wasn't sarcasm. If it was, I don't want to know.
Heh, in the Megadeth song "She-Wolf", the line:
I used to hear as:
and now I can't get that image out of my head.

Lyrics:
So love me gently with a chainsaw (chainsaw)
And take the glass against your wrists.
You know I am your worst nightmare,
Oh how you love my bloody kiss.
But it's time to die.
You're worth more dead.
Tell me your fantasies,
I'll make you believe,
That I really care.
I'll look into your eyes,
I'll tell you all my lies.
As I take you slow.
So love me gently with a chainsaw (chainsaw)
I'll leave you like your father did.
I'll bite your lip so fucking, so hard.
And watch the innocence just drip
Down your chest,
And into my mouth.
Tell me your fantasies,
I'll make you believe,
That I really care.
I'll look into your eyes,
I'll tell you all my lies.
As I take you slow.
So take your tears and go away.
So take your tears and go away.
A bitter ending from a slow decay.
So take your tears and go away.
And I'll sit here with a smile and a match.
The lies, she cried, the heartache [x3]
And the lies, she cried, the heartache.

It's so nice sitting very still,
in a room where no one else can feel
the pain that breaks my heart each day, I'm not ok.
Sunlight shining through my window,
lets me know that I'm still alive
But why did I ever let you inside my heart? I'm such a fool.
Paint my face in shades of blood and grey
and take the seat right next to me
But I should have known that you were a killer. But now I'm dead.
A gaping hole, shot through my heart
A lost connection from your poison dart
Shot from your tongue to end my life.
But if you're blowing at the fire to light your strife.
You'll never know, oh yeah. You'll never know, oh no.
The hardest thing about dying is, knowing you'll never see the light of day.
A gaping hole... (shot through my heart)
A lost connection from your poison dart.
My head now spins and my ears bleed gold.
I try so fucking hard, but I can't fit your mold.
The hardest thing about dying is, knowing you'll never see the light of day. [x2]
You ripped my heart out, you tore my eyes out, now you're gonna pay
I'll stab you one time.
I'll eat your heart out, so you feel my pain.
Don't you know that I always see you in all of my dreams?
I wanna kill you. I wanna kill you. Now I'm insane. [x3]
Hells yes Feral. Hi^5.
"LOVE...is a way of feeling
LOVE is a way of feeling less alone
So what's all the fuss about?!?
LOVE: the paradox of needing
OH LOVE,
MAKE WAY FOR BREEDING
I know what I stand for;
I STAND FOR ME!!!
I'll wait for the nigiht to come
So far, suicide at home
For I'm not the man you know
This love it's about control
OH WHAT A FEELING!!!!!
OH WHAT A FEEDING!!!!!
Know the chosen ones ARE HERE!
ALL HAIL!!!
I'll wait for the night to come
So far, suicide at home
For I'm not the man you know...
This love,
IT'S ABOUT CONTROL
ALL IN THE NAME OF LOVE
ALL IN THE NAME OF LOVE
ALL IN THE NAME OF LOVe"
The Exploited - Sex And Violence.
It's not really a good song by any means, and the lyrics consist of 3 words; sex, and, violence. So, yeah. There's a love and violence song for ya.
-edit-
Oh, and who knows WTF they're singing, but Curl Up And Die's You'd Look Cuter If I Shot You In The Face and Kissing You Is Like Licking An Ashtray certainly convey the message of twisted affection. And there's nothing gentle about their music. (I suggest listening to this to get an idea of their sound)
Action Patrol's cover of Cindi Lauper's Time After Time is awesome.
There's a bunch of Screeching Weasel love songs, but their stuff is kind of poppy. Umm. NOFX's song Lori Meyers.

Nerdy (Opposite of December, 1999), as has been mentioned:
What makes me feel this way
Just carry me away with silence and heartbeats
As rapid thinking about your embrace
and how it makes me feel
I just want to feel this way forever
Sleep on portraits painted as perfect as you
Why have I been given the chance to fly
When I'm not with you I feel lesser alone
I remember your face / imprinted on angels
Your voice as beautiful / as the sounds of waves
crashing against my heart
Time slows down when you look at me
I'm infatuated with this / infatuated with you
It's so hard for me to understand why
I hadn't found you before don't dull away
hold my hand
For a Bandaged Iris (You Come Before You, 2003):
There are certain things your voice does to me, it makes me feel the ground
and sky again.
How sad it is when you spill your guts on the paper.
It only neglects you and never relieves.
In every corner and space I search for you,
I've only found your vocal cords.
Hate that I'm never certain of what needs what most.
All day your songs spin me into a romance repeatedly to the sky.
Scream over and over again repeatedly to the sky.
In every corner and space I search for you,
I've only found your vocal cords.
Hate that I'm never certain of what needs what most.
And nothing has affected me so...
In every corner and space I search for you,
I've only found your vocal cords.
Hate that I'm never certain of what needs what most.
You Will Not Be Welcomed (Versions, 2007):
To keep the rest at bay yelling sadness disagreement,
Pulling you into me, into body, the others will think ill of me.
You are sustenance
But my companion
So I want alone
Companion doesn't make good conversation
Giving you up I drown in eye water
as you are taken away,
hiding the fact that I'm breaking apart inside
You are sustenance
But my companion
So I want alone
Companion doesn't make good conversation
Sitting at the social event
I devour more of you
because I know that's what you'd want
Your head on a plate, eyes cold in sleep
You taste like dreams
You are sustenance
But my companion
So I want alone
Companion doesn't make good conversation
They've got tons of this stuff, these are just a few examples.
