I don't wanna go to the show tonight
'Cause its probably filled with punx and skins who hate my band but still decided to go.
I don't wanna go to the show tonight
'Cause my girl is gonna be upset that I can't spend any time with her alone.
But will things change if we sign our lives away?
I'll never have to work a day in your GAP society
What will we be if this gets bigger than iced coffee
Will we ignore the kids we meet?
For starters ask the question what we planned to seek
When we practiced on Pine St. Nobody knows.
I don't wanna go to the show tonight
'Cause my voice is gone I can't hit a note we played for an hour yesterday.
I don't wanna go to the show tonight
'Cause my parents will say "You got home too late, did you get paid?" cause they don't understand me or the reason I play.
But will things change if we sign our lives away?
I'll never have to work a day in your GAP society
What will we be if this gets bigger than iced coffee
And you don't wanna know me
-diocre us getting played on your MTV
How come we "practiced" on Pine St. Nobody knows
I don't wanna go to the dance today.
The rectum of society.
Gonna fuck the fucking world away tonight!
Don't like me 'cause my hair is green.
Why should I talk to you anyway?
You talk more shit what can I say?
I'll tear your fucking world down tonight! (234)
I don't wanna be your friend, oh no.
'Cause you go around just spewing shit about everyone else, and you and your whole kind can go to hell.
I don't wanna be your friend, oh no.
'Cause you're just a spoiled bitch who no one likes. Not even worth me making this whole verse rhyme
What can I say?
FUCK IT! Sign my soul away!
I'll never have to work a day in your pretentious and sickening society
I'm a fake, not what you made me out to be.
So go home with a disappointed look on your face and stomping with your feet
John lives on Pine St. Now you all know

    The lyrics are thoughts of selling out because "punks and skinheads" dont like his band and if he changes to fit society he'll be accepted and become bigger than 'iced coffee'

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/

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.
