(Down boy, keep down boy)

I'm the one that you would die for
The one you long to touch
The one you live a lie for
I know this much

The more you see
The more you want
The more you taste
It just gets better
The more you get
The more you like it
Don't go too far, I won't let you

[Chorus:Repeat x2]
Down boy, won't you bring me
Down boy, got to keep you down
If you want me with you
Down boy, won't you bring me
Down boy, got to keep you down
Some things I just won't do

Do anything to please me
I got you where I want
I know how much you need me
Just want to get it on

The more you see
The more you want
The more you taste
It just gets better
The more you get
The more you like it
Don't go too far I won't let you

[Chorus:Repeat x2]

Gotta keep you down
Down boy
Gotta keep you down
Down boy
Gotta keep you down

Some things I just won't do [Repeat x4]

The more you see
The more you want
The more you taste
It just gets better
The more you get
The more you like it
Don't go too far
I won't let you

[Chorus:Repeat x2]

    I can't believe this one slipped passed everyone and all the air play it got because it's Holly telling her guy that he has to eat her out or she is gone cause she gives him head.

    "gotta keep you down if u want me with you"

    "do anything to please me, i got you where i want"

    or...

    "the more you see the more you want the more you taste it just gets better the more you get the more you like it dont go too far, i wont let you"

    now if you'll excuse me i need to have a good long hard think about that subect :-)

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”

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.
