Lovage
Lovage (/ˈlʌvᵻdʒ/), Levisticum officinale, is a tall perennial plant, the sole species in the genus Levisticum in the family Apiaceae, subfamily Apioideae, tribe Apieae.
Description
Lovage is an erect, herbaceous, perennial plant growing to 1.8–2.5 m (5.9–8.2 ft) tall, with a basal rosette of leaves and stems with further leaves, the flowers being produced in umbels at the top of the stems. The stems and leaves are shiny glabrous green to yellow-green and smell somewhat similar to celery when crushed. The larger basal leaves are up to 70 cm (28 in) long, tripinnate, with broad triangular to rhomboidal, acutely pointed leaflets with a few marginal teeth; the stem leaves are smaller, and less divided with few leaflets. The flowers are yellow to greenish-yellow, 2–3 mm (0.079–0.118 in) diameter, produced in globose umbels up to 10–15 cm (3.9–5.9 in) diameter; flowering is in late spring. The fruit is a dry two-parted schizocarp 4–7 mm (0.16–0.28 in) long, mature in autumn.
Distribution
The exact native range is disputed; some sources cite it as native to much of Europe and southwestern Asia, others from only the eastern Mediterranean region in southeastern Europe and southwestern Asia, and yet others only to southwestern Asia in Iran and Afghanistan, citing European populations as naturalised. It has been long cultivated in Europe, the leaves being used as an herb, the roots as a vegetable, and the seeds as a spice, especially in southern European cuisine.
Lovage (band)
Lovage is a collaborative project headed by Dan the Automator, under his pseudonym "Nathaniel Merriweather" (a persona he created for the project Handsome Boy Modeling School). The album is called Music to Make Love to Your Old Lady By, which was created in team with Mike Patton and Jennifer Charles, who both provide vocals. Kid Koala plays turntables and samples and toured with the band for their 13-city U.S. tour.

by: LovageFlowers on your grave
(I never loved you)
Flowers on your grave
(I never touched you)
I'll bet that you're there
(Never knew you cared)
Flowers on your grave
Little buttercups and wild daisies
By the lily pond, remember baby
Blowing dandelions, my only wish was you
Sitting on a cold slab
Feeling my warm stab
You know I'll be missing you
That's why I'm kissing you
Flowers on your grave
(I never loved you)
Flowers on your grave
(I never touched you)
I paid my respects
(Too little, too late)
Flowers on your grave
Little buttercups and wild daisies
By the lily pond, remember baby
Blowing dandelions, my only wish was you
I look funny all dressed in black
My wet handkerchief won't bring you back
Now there lowering you down
You feel me from underground
Flowers on your grave
(I never loved you)
Flowers on your grave
(I never touched you)
I'll bet that you're there
(Never knew you cared)
Flowers on your grave
Little buttercups and wild daisies
By the lily pond, remember baby
Blowing dandelions, my only wish was you
You are the lucky one
I hope you've had your fun
For all those nights I set you free
Tonight you'll remember me
Flowers on your grave
(I never loved you)
Flowers on your grave
(I never touched you)
I paid my respects
(Too little, too late)
Flowers on your grave
Jealous of the flies and the worms inside me
Jealous of the flies and the worms inside me
Jealous of the flies and the worms inside me
