It was only when I updated my Facebook page with my normal daily song that I realised the similarity between Alice Cooper "Poison" and LC "Iodine" the lyrics just seem to be saying the same thing -

"Your cruel deep eyes,
Your blood like ice.
One look could kill,
My pain, your thrill.
I wanna love you, but I better not touch (Don't Touch)
I wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop
I wanna kiss you, but I want it too much (too much)
I wanna taste you, but your lips are venomous poison
You're poison runnin' through my veins
You're poison, I don't wanna break these chains.
Your mouth, so hot
Your web, I'm caught
Your skin, so wet
black lace on sweat
I hear you callin' and it's needles and pins (and pins)
I wanna hurt you just to hear you screaming my name
Don't wanna touch you, but you're under my skin (deep in)
I wanna kiss you, but your lips are venomous poison
You're poison runnin' through my veins
You're poison, I don't wanna break these chains
Poison
One look (one look), could kill (could kill),
My pain, your thrill.
I wanna love you, but I better not touch (Don't touch)
I wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop
I wanna kiss you, but I want it too much (too much)
I wanna taste you, but your lips are venomous poison
You're poison runnin' through my veins
You're poison, I don't wanna break these chains
Poison
I wanna love you, but I better not touch (Don't touch)
I wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop
I wanna kiss you, but I wanna too much (too much)
I wanna taste you, but your lips are venomous poison
Yeah
Well I don't wanna break these chains
Poison
Runnin' deep inside my veins
Burnin' deep inside my veins
Poison (Poison)
I don't wanna break these chains"

As opposed to:

"I needed you, I knew I was in danger
of losing what I used to think was mine
You let me love you till I was a failure,
You let me love you till I was a failure --
Your beauty on my bruise like iodine
I asked you if a man could be forgiven
And though I failed at love, was this a crime?
You said, Don't worry, don't worry, darling
You said, Don't worry, don't you worry, darling
There are many ways a man can serve his time
You covered up that place I could not master
It wasn't dark enough to shut my eyes
So I was with you, O sweet compassion
Yes I was with you, O sweet compassion
Compassion with the sting of iodine
Your saintly kisses reeked of iodine
Your fragrance with a fume of iodine
And pity in the room like iodine
Your sister fingers burned like iodine
And all my wanton lust was iodine
My masquerade of trust was iodine
And everywhere the flare of iodine"

Any thoughts - any other lyrics with similar themes?

I just like the similarities between the two songs - they both seem to be a bout a desire that can't be sated without causing harm to yourself - so like reality in so many ways

Yes I have to like your song. In your song there is a sadness. You have to explain yourself by this song. I suggest you to keep it on. You will surely go ahead.
