Cousin Oliver

Yeah, it's on again
She flirts with all my friends
What would it take
To get some attention

You know it's killing me
Her lack of sensitivity
I want to know
What's your intentions

How did it come to this
With a clenched jaw and a clenched fist
The girl really knows
How to piss me off

But I remember when
Things seemed so much different
Say hi to her pops
When I come to pick her up

And see all those...

Family portraits on the wall
Who'd of ever guessed at all
Little girl hides all the pain
With my friends she's made a name

She only loves me for my cash
I only love her for that ass
She's a whore but I don't care
She's a love I've learned to share
I've learned to share
I've learned to share

Just want to know why I'm so
Just want to know how I got
Just want to know
Cause I don't know
What I see in you

Family portraits on the wall
Who'd of ever guessed at all
Little girl hides all the pain
With my friends she's made a name

She only loves me for my cash
I only love her for that ass
She's a whore but I don't care
She's a love I've learned to share
I've learned to share
I've learned to share

    Yeh thanx 4 posting the lyrics to this song, it's too bad they don't hav an offical website anymore. I've added Naked Christmas if anyone's interested but don't be surprised if the lyrics aren't perfect!

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.
