I'm A Bomb

Natasha Bedingfield

Yeah, yeah, woah, wo wo

Taxi ride, going downtown
Me an my girls, going out
Counting down, to detination
Ten to zero, mushrom cloud
Little angel, I've been too good
Ditch the halo, for a while
Dress to kill, I'll be causing
Mass destruction, so shield your eyes

I'm all steamed up and I'm ready to blow
The pressure mounts need a red overload
To get release
I gotta explode, explode...

I'm a bomb, can you hear me tick
Beware if you turn me on ,there is no safety switch
I'm a bomb use only steady hands
To mess with me you must be a brave man
I'm a bomb yeah bomb bomb bomb bom bom I'm a bomb*2

Bass so loud I can't hear you
Can't diffuse me now I'm wired?
Do not disturb while I'm dancing
Watch me set this house on fire

I'm a bomb, can you hear me tick
Beware if you turn me on ,there is no safety switch
I'm a bomb use only steady hands
To mess with me you must be a brave man

I'm a bomb, can you hear me tick
Beware if you turn me on ,there is no safety switch
I'm a bomb use only steady hands
To mess with me you must be a brave man

Club Crescendo getting loud
Run for cover underground
What you doing showing me no fear
You must be crazy hanging round here

I'm all steamed up and I'm ready to blow
The pressure mounts need a red overload
Need to get release
I'm gonna explode, explode

I'm a bomb, can you hear me tick
Beware if you turn me on, there is no safety switch
I'm a bomb use only steady hands
To mess with me you must be a brave man

I'm a bomb, yeah yeah yeah, can you hear me tick
Beware if you turn me on, there is no safety switch
I'm a bomb, use only steady hands
To mess with me you must be a brave man

I'm a bomb
I'm a bomb
I'm a bomb
I'm a bomb

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.

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,

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.

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.
