There's a baby
With an itchy head
Pour water on it
I'll take a knife so I can
Take a weight off
Umm
I'm sixty five
Nobody in my family knows I'm alive
Hey little girl
I would've cut your hair off
Hey little girl
So I can
Pour water on it
So I can take knife
And I will
I'm ninety nine
And I'm in jail
I wish I could have a million kids
A million girls
I would cut their hair off
And I would
Pour water on them
So I can take knife
With that knife
I could pour
Water on them
One, two, three, four

    I always thought it was some weird cannibalistic musings, because I thought the lyrics were as follows;

    There's a baby With an itchy head Pour butter on it I'll take a knife so I can Take a bite pour butter on I'm 65 Nobody in my family knows I'm alive Hey little girl I would've(wanna?) cut your hair off Hey little girl So I can Pour butter on it So I can take bite And I will(would?) I'm 99 And I'm in jail I wish I could have a million kids A million girls I would cut their hair off And I would Pour butter on them So I can take bite With that(my?) knife I could pour Butter on them One, two, three, four

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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/

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.
