Want your number again
I think you ought to have known
I'm the only one who wants you baby
Want your number again
I think you ought to have known
I'm the only one who wants you baby

I get up all the time
I come home I can die oh-oh-oh-oh
Well I'm talking too much
Too much and too loud
You should watch where you step
Keep your head to the ground
Change your name and address
Get yourself outta town

Give a little, give a little
Give a little
Give a little respect
I've been ill, sittin' round thinkin' 'bout you
And I told you once more
I tell you once more

Want your number again
I think you ought to have known
I'm the only one who wants you baby
Want your number again
I think you ought to have known
I'm the only one who wants you baby

I remember your face, I have seen you around
Oh oh oh oh
I dont easily chase but if I could be allowed
This time

Give a little, give a little
Give a little
Give a little respect
I've been ill, sittin' round thinkin' 'bout you
And I told you once more
I tell you once more
Ooh-oh-oh

Want your number again
I think you ought to have known
I'm the only one who wants you baby
Want your number again
I think you ought to have known
I'm the only one who wants you baby
Want your number again
I think you ought to have known
I'm the only one who wants you baby
Want your number again
I think you ought to have known
I'm the only one who wants you baby

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.

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.

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.
