But with a consenting adult albeit asleep and not violently forced... He also emphasised in a radio interview that the lyric was:
"Wake up and make love WITH me" to show empathy toward his partner. But yeah, basically rape!

Yes a very grey area these days, however not to change the topic I agree his lyrics are fantastic.

I think you may have mis-interpreted these lyrics gentlemen...
"You look so self-possessed
I won't disturb your rest
Its lovely when you're sleeping
But wide awake is best"
It's a man admiring the woman whilst she is sleeping....but he obviously prefers it when she is awake, hence the title "Wake up and make love with me. (see my other post).
Where the hell did the insinuation of rape come into these lyrics eh?
PS Bernie...remove your wink after the word Rape ...I find it distasteful. Thank you Sir.
She was poetry in a world that was still learning the alphabet....
