Romper Stomper

Transplants

Yeah...

Yeah... 1,2,3,4
It's a knock down drag out one on one
Think it's over when it's just begun
Cause round here they'll fight for fun
On my feet- don't think to run
Two-Face gets bust in both mouths
Backstabbers get shanked out no doubt
Turn and walk you lose a crowd
Just want to know what you're about

Gonna lie de facto
Lie de facto
Don't cross the line man
You fall through the cracks
Nobody's neutral
Nobody's neutral
You stand alone in your fucking nightmare
Don't turn your back 'cuz..
Don't turn your back 'cuz..
That leaves the front yeah
Open target
I got you back so
I got you back so
Know how to soothe your mind

I wanna know
I wanna know
I wanna know
Can I count on you when it's time

If I got your back then you best have mine
When it goes down lay it on the line
Fatboy you well that's just fine
Just let me know don't waste my time
Friends I have - one reason to die
Will we got we will get by
(no) matter what stand'n side by side
We'll come through with our heads held high

I wanna know
I wanna know
I wanna know
Can I count on you when it's time

I wanna know
I wanna know
I wanna know
Can I count on you when it's time

I wanna know
I wanna know
I wanna know
Can I count on you when it's time

Aaaaaaaah...
Can I count on you when its time!

    Oh, and it's "turn and walk you lose all clout" not "turn and walk you lose a crowd"

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

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,

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.
