A song that makes me think of Brokeback Mountain

OK, just one more:
Love is a Battlefield
We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield
We are strong, no one can tell us we're wrong
Searching our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield
You're beggin me to go, you're makin' me stay
Why do you hurt me so bad?
It would help me to know
Do I stand in your way, or am I the best thing you've had?
Believe me, believe me, I can't tell you why
But I'm trapped by your love, and I'm chained to your side
We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield
We are strong, no one can tell us were wrong
Searching our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield
When we're losing control
Will you turn me away or touch me deep inside?
And before this gets old, will it still feel the same?
There's no way this will die
But if we get much closer, I could lose control
And if your heart surrenders, you'll need me to hold
We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield
We are strong, no one can tell us we're wrong
Searching our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield
We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield
We are strong, no one can tell us we're wrong
Searching our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield

Funny you mention that, Barbara - Brokeback made me think of this ELO song:
Strange Magic
You're sailing softly through the sun
In a broken stone age dawn
You fly so high
I get a strange magic,
Oh, what a strange magic,
Oh, it's a strange magic.
Got a strange magic,
Got a strange magic.
You're walking meadows in my mind
Making waves across my time
Oh no, oh no.
I get a strange magic,
Oh, what a strange magic,
Oh, it's a strange magic.
Got a strange magic,
Got a strange magic.
Oh I'm never gonna be the same again
Now I've seen the way it's got to end -
Sweet dream, sweet dream.
Strange magic,
Oh, what a strange magic,
Oh, its a strange magic.
Got a strange magic,
Got a strange magic.

Today I stumbled across a rarity from the Seventies. When I drove to work in the early morning hours the radio station I was listening to played the German version of "Under One Roof" from The Rubettes. I think this was the first time I ever heard a gay themed song in German radio. Cool!
Under One Roof
Billy ran away from his home to find away to live in peace
His Mama didn't give a damn about him
His Papa's on the run from the Police
When Billy hit the city - the city hit Billy
No one needs you when your down and out
Then one kind guy with the painted eyes
Picked him up and bailed him out
Under one roof sharing one room
Nobody cared about them
Under one roof Sharing one room
Daring the world to part them
Billy found it hard to find a job to make some pay
AII day looking round getting me down I was being turned away
And Johnny was the only one who didn't talk down
To Billy from up above
And for the first time in his life Billy found out
What it felt like to be loved.
Under one roof sharing one love
Nobody cared about them
Under one roof sharing one love
Daring the world to part them.
Somehow Billy's Papa found out all about the style of Billy's life
And it didn't take long before he came round and he had a knife
He cut up Johnny stole all his money
He called him all the names that he could find
Said he'd wait for Billy at the factory tomorrow
And show him what they do to Billy's kind.
Under one roof sharing on love
Now the whole world knew about them
Under one roof sharing one love
Daring the world to part them.
Johnny said 'Billy we can run away from the world no more
I'm gonna fetch my daddy, I'm gonna show the world who I'm living for
And if I lose my job, if I lose my life you'll know one thing is true
He can take away anything from me
But he won't take me from you.
And at five thirty dead his daddy waited at the factory for him to come
And how it did degrade him he cut him and he slayed him
And spat on him in front of ev'ryone
As Billy lay dying his Papa started crying
Because the parent through him he became
And all because the person who has the first to give him love
Had been a man.
