Most songs are about love, some are about lust. Rarely, you get a song about something that's just weird. Try to guess which songs are about these subjects:
Mötley Crüe
Horror movies
Elvis and Prescilla Presley
Bombing Hiroshima - Enola faaabulous, OMD (Buzz)
Stalking
Heroin - Golden Brown, The Stranglers (Fabyak)
A prostitute - Roxanne, The Police (Randomgazz)
Woking
Dislike of performing on stage
Frankenstein - China In Your Hand, T'Pau (FJ)

Didn't The Clash do a song about Woking? I forget the name and I refuse to Google-fu.
Probably lots of songs about stalking, but the one that instantly springs to mind is 'Why won't you give me your love' by The Zutons (only song of theirs I like).
You might be right on both counts, but they're not the ones I was thinking of. The Clash is close, right era. They might well all be 80s songs actually, I've not checked the dates but they're all thereabouts. Not deliberately, just what I know.
There's about fifty songs called I want you. Cure did 'pictures of you', blondie 'one way or another' and then about a million songs by the smiths and morrisey involve stalkery lyrics.

Well this particular one is often mistaken for a love song. The writer was quoted as saying "One couple told me 'Oh we love that song; it was the main song played at our wedding!' I thought, Well, good luck."
Oh that one! Did not know that, never really listened to the werds mind.
Tangent - Anyone else not give the slightest fuck about this current slew of young popsters like la roux and pixie lott and little boots? Because all this shit is doing to me is hurting my ears and making my fists itch.
Don't really pay attention to them. I've noticed an 80s electro influence in music lately, which would be good but they seem to be missing the mark and ending up in the musical equivalent of Uncanny Valley.
Did you google that quote then? I assume so since you didn't post an answer.
