Tight A$

John Lennon

Well, just as tight a$ you can make it
Hard and slow ain't hard enough
Just as tight a$ you can shake it, girl
Get it on and do your stuff

Tight a$ you can get it
Tight a$ got it made
Uptight's alright
But if ya can't stand the heat
You better get back in the shade

Well, just tight a$ an Indian rope trick
Long and tough ain't hard enough
Just as tight a$ a dope fiend's fix my friend
Get it up and do your stuff

Tight a$ you can boogie
Tight a$ got it made
Uptight alright
But if ya can't stand the heat
You better get back in the shade, well
Alright

Alright
Ooh
Ooh-ooh

Well, tight a$ you can make it
Hard and slow ain't hard enough
Just as tight a$ you can shake it, girl
Get it on and do your stuff

Tight a$ you can get it
Tight a$ got it made
Uptight's alright
But if you can't stand the heat
You better get back in the shade

Well, tight a$ an Indian rope trick
Hard and long ain't hard enough
Just as tight a$ a dope fiend's fix, my friend
Get it up and do your stuff

Tight a$ you can boogie
Tight a$ got it laid
Uptight's alright
But if you can't stand the heat
You better get back in the shade
Well

Well, tight a$ got me cornered
Tight a$ got me laid
Tight a$ strut your stuff so tough
Just a sittin' in the midnight shade

Tight a$ she can boogie
Tight a$ she got laid
Uptight's alright
But if you can't stand the heat
You better get back in the shade
Well, whoa

Woo
Ah, yes
Woo-hoo

    Vintage Beauty - Of course he wrote this. John Lennon is one of the best songwriters in history; he can write just about anything that comes to his mind. And one thing he can do that loads of other people CAN'T is make lyrics like that look and sound good.

    He's a legend. It's a track off of his album, "Mind Games." Of course he wrote it; he can write about just about anything. He's amazing.

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,

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
