Zombie Stomp

Ozzy Osbourne

I don't need no doctor
But I need something to kill the pain
Don't know what I'm after
But the pressure's driving me insane
Searching for a different ride
Had a funny feeling I can't hide

Hey, hey, do the zombie stomp
Why can't they just let me be?
Alone without the misery
Hey, hey, do the zombie, the zombie stomp
Hey, hey, do the zombie stomp
Hey, hey, do the zombie stomp

Flirting with disaster
Morning after killing me again
Hiding from the laughter
And the demons dancing round my brain
Always dancing on thin ice
I guess I'll have to pay the price

Hey, hey, do the zombie stomp
Thinking how it could have been
If I had never let them in
Hey, hey, do the zombie, the zombie stomp

Hey, hey, do the zombie stomp
Hey, hey, do the zombie stomp
Hey, hey, do the zombie stomp
Hey, hey, do the zombie stomp

Take me to the doctor
'Cause I feel it coming on again
Don't know where I'm going
'Cause I guess I don't know where I've been
Looking for a different ride
Always dancing on thin ice

Hey, hey, do the zombie stomp
Thinking how it could have been
If I had never let them in
Hey, hey, do the zombie, the zombie stomp

Hey, hey, do the zombie stomp
Hey, hey, do the zombie stomp
Hey, hey, do the zombie stomp
Hey, hey, do the zombie stomp

    Dancing on thin ice is a faily standard euphemism to doing somehing risky.

    I always thought it was a song about being hungover... I've got a friend who shambles like a zombie when drunk or hungover.... Need footage for blackmail potential....

    I, too, think this is an anti-alcoholism song. The "Zombie Stomp" being how people walk after drinking too much. I like how Ozzy jokingly makes the song sound like a late-80s/early-90s dance tune.

    i think its about drinking "Morning after killing me again" hangover "Always dancing on thin ice I guess I'll have to pay the price" drinking is dangerous. makes you do things youll regret later....etc

    i personally think it is about the negatives that come with use of a substance. Referring to the day after and looking for a different ride(not role?) "got a funny feeling i cant get high (not hide?) maybe referring to resistance that builds with substance abuse....anyway i dont think its a reference to a specific drug, especially cocaine, besides ice usually refers to methamphetamine....black sabbath already did a song about cocaine its named snowblind

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Album art
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
