Songs about loving people you shouldn't...

[Guitarmarama]

Does anybody know of any songs in the rock genre (ranging from punk to metal to melodic rock to rock n roll to hippie rock to folk-rock - I've probs missed some out!!!), which are about falling in love with someone who is out-of-bounds, like, a best friend?(N.B. - The song "Ever Fallen In Love" by The ********* doesn't count - Sorry!)

Try 'No-one is To Blame' by Howard Jones. It's as fart away from the ahppy-clappy pop of 'new Song' as you can get - and it's ideal for what you want.
