Are you a Scissor Sister? Scissor Sister Scissor Sister
Are you a Scissor Sister? Scissor Sister Scissor Sister
Scissor Sister Scissor Sister Scissor Sister Scissor Sister

Scissor Sister can you work it on out?
Scissor Sister can you work it on out?
Scissor Sister can you work it on out?

Electrobix your moves they make me sick electrobix yeah
Electrobix your moves they make me sick electrobix yeah
Your legs they look like sticks electrobix yeah

You gotta move your body
Ooh you wanna be a hottie
You better like to party
You gotta pump that body

You gotta move your body
Ooh you wanna be a hottie
You better like to party
You gotta pump that body

I was just a boy with my lunch in a bag
The other little boys made me feel like a fag
I didn't like sports, didn't play outside
A lisp and a limp wrist, too much to hide

I always felt trapped inside
I always felt trapped inside

You're gonna feel high high high
But you gotta be a guy guy guy

You're gonna feel high high high
But you gotta be a guy guy guy

I started working out at the YMCA
I couldn't lift the weights and I felt like a gay
It didn't take long just to understand
That I was growin' up big like a Superman

I swear I'm doin' all I can
I swear I'm doin' all I can

You're gonna feel high high high
But you gotta be a guy guy guy

You're gonna feel high high high
But you gotta be a guy guy guy

'cause' there ain't no woman or man or tranny or thing
That's gonna love you like they should

You gotta move your body
Ooh you wanna be a hottie
You better like to party
You gotta pump that body

You gotta move your body
Ooh you wanna be a hottie
You better like to party
You gotta pump that body

I'm goin' to the gym almost five times a week
I've gained lots of weight and I look like a freak
I get real bored when I sit at home
I just a-wanna watch the tube and a-stroke my bone

I've never felt so alone
I've never felt so alone

Electrobix your moves they make me sick electrobix yeah
Electrobix your moves they make me sick electrobix yeah
Your legs they look like sticks electrobix yeah

Electrobix your moves they make me sick electrobix yeah
Electrobix your moves they make me sick electrobix yeah
Your legs they look like sticks electrobix yeah

    This is such a sad song. It has an amazing bass line, but the lyrics are so sad. This is one of the Scissor Sisters best. Anyone who is bothered by these lyrics is a homophobic loser. This song should nake straight people understand what it's like to be different!

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.

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
