I'm your blubber boy you should rub me
Lookin like your love drowned in the sea
I'm fishing in the sun
I'm melting
Rub me on your cunt I'll come back again

I'm your blubber boy you should rub me
Sun beat down too viciously
Beat me to the ground
To what I used to be
Melting away I'm nothing again

I'm your blubber boy you should rub me
I'm melting away
So bury me

I'm your blubber boy you should rub me
I'm melting away
So bury me

I'm your blubber boy you should rub me
Melting away so very near
Talk to me my grave and mourn me
It can be the same lets begin again

I'm your blubber boy you should rub me
Lookin like your love drowned in the sea
I'm fishing in the sun
I'm melting
Rub me on your cunt I'll come back again

I'm your blubber boy you should rub me
I'm melting away
So bury me
(This bit x4)

Rub me I'm your blubber boy (Repeat and fade)

    It's based on an Innuit folktale, about (as kama sutred said) a girl whose love had drowned in the sea. She carved his likeness out of blubber, and rubbed it against her genitals, which brought him to life, and she married him.

    When it was hot in the hut they lived, he would get weary, and ask her to rub her genitals on him to revive him.

    One day he went hunting seals, and the sun beat down harshly. As he paddled his kayak back, the heat made him sweat, melting him away, and when he reached the shore and stepped out of his kayak, he collapsed into a pile of blubber.

    His girl went into mourning. And then once her mourning was complete, she took some blubber and carved it again into the likeness of her drowned love. Rubbing it against her genitals, her love was once again alive with her.

    I found this in Angela Carter's fairy tale collection, and have heavily paraphrased it.

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
