I'll Do Anything

Courtney Love

Give me your tired
Give me you poor
Yearning to be free
Yeah your hungry huddled masses screaming me!me!me!
Give me danger
Give me sorrow
Give me heat
Give me grime
Give me give me empathy
C'mon give me from behind

Throw me up against the wall
No baby do that again
No baby I'll do you 'cause you,you,you, you'll do anything.

Give me white boys skinny
Give me big black men
Give me ice cream on my birthday
Oh give me that again
Give me love love love
Give me me me
'Cause I will do you 'cause you'll do anything

Give me dick
Give me speed
Give me white hot hate
One day my prince will come
But man, it's just to late
Give me one match so I can set myself on fire
Let them eat coke until they all starve
Give me one light that pulls down on me so hard
Twist it like a miracle
Blast your heart to shards

Throw me up against the wall
No baby do that again
No baby I'll do you 'cause you,you,you, you'll do anything.

Give me white boys skinny
Give me big black men
Give me ice cream on my birthday
Oh give me that again
Give me love love love
Give me me me
'Cause I will do you 'cause you'll do anything

Give me some last solutions
Give it to your hand
Give it to me
C'mon baby give me and pray
You're a star
It's your show
I got the power to heal
God or the devil just give me a deal

Give me love,love,love
Give me me me
'Cause I will do you 'cause you'll do anything

No, I'm to young to be this old
Slam the door when you go
I'll burn the sheets when you go
Just fucking go

    She totally owns that version. F***ing AWESOME lyrics ("Give me dick/ Give me speed/ Give me white hot hate/ One day my prince will come/ But man, it's just to late"…. GENIUS !) I know what some of you are saying about her using that whore archetype, that's something she's used all through her lyrical career (from Teenage Whore to Life despite God to Samantha) and that 's one lyrical persona she does really really well. I don't think she's demeaning herself I think at that stage in her life she was hanging out with porn stars a lot and having a wild time, she probably felt like she needed to show them that not only was she the girl with the most cake, but also that with the most dick… This song must be very hard to sing live, you need good back up singers as the vocals are very layered. It's got so much ENERGY !

    Because it's her's. She owns it. She can do whatever she feels like doing with it.

    As much as i personally hate Courtney in all her plasticness i quite like her music..she can't write music..she can't play guitar...she only knows about five chords.... but she can write lyrics...i think she kinda degrades herself in this song though....

    Maybe she's proud of the fact she's promiscuous. It's not like it's a crime. And I think that she's an amazing singer, lyricist and musician.

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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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/

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
