Doctor, Doctor, can you cure me?
A little pill, something to assure me
I’m gonna feel better when I walk out your door
(He said) Son, son, son, I know
what your’re needin’
Your body is fine, it’s your soul that’s bleedin’
I got the same disease,
ain’t nobody yet found the cure
If you find it, bottle it, you’ll be a rich man for sure

This ain’t no joke (oh no!)
Gotta know how to bend
if you don’t wanna get broke (oh no!)
Keep your peace in the Big Bad Game
You know you gotta go a little loco to stay sane

General, General, I gotta ask it
Got a new uniform, do I get a casket
And a one-way ticket
or do I have a way back home?
Son, son, son, that’s a good question
Ain’t got an answer, just a suggestion
Join up, find out
and hope you ain’t accident prone
Even in the very best company
we’re always alone

More I dig in, the deeper the hole
Come off the rails when I get on a roll
Hangman’s tyin’ a noose on the line
Keep a couple screws loose, you’ll be fine

Fortuneteller lady, what do you see?
Are there swerves and curves
in the road up ahead of me
Will I die rich or poor, lose my mind,
or come to some sour end?
Son, son, son, step into my booth
You look like a nice young man,
so I’ll tell you the truth
It’s a secret, boy,
so don’tcha tell any of your friends
I never saw the end of no story
‘cause no story ever ends

This ain’t no joke (oh no!)
Gotta know how to bend
if you don’t wanna get broke (oh no!)
Keep your peace in the Big Bad Game
You know you gotta go a little loco to stay sane

This ain’t no joke (oh no!)
Gotta know how to bend
if you don’t wanna get broke (oh no!)
Keep your peace in the Big Bad Game
You know you gotta go a little loco to stay sane

    A few small corrections to the lyrics...First verse you have "I’m gonna feel better when I walk out your door" and it should read "I wanna feel better when I walk outside your door."

    Second Verse you have "Got a new uniform, do I get a casket And a one-way ticket or do I have a way back home?" and it should be "With my new uniform do I get a Casket? A one way ticket, or do you plan to bring me back home?" and you also forgot the word "mighty" before "good question". Nothing huge, just didn't ring right in my brain lol

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”

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
