I've gotta big big big heart beat yeah
I think you are the sweetest thing
I wear a coat of feelings and they are loud
but I've been having good days,
think we are the right age
to start our own peculiar ways? (do do do do do do)
With good friendly homes (do do do do do do)

You get me freaked freaked freaked on preakness
I've never met a girl that likes to drink with horses
and knows her Chinese ballet
I must admit you smell like fruity nuts and good grains
but could you show my purple gaze (do do do do do do)
a thing or two at night? (do do do do do do)

It'd make me sick sick sick to kiss you
and I think that I would vomit
but I'll do that on Mondays I don't have a work way
I like it when I bump you
and an accident's a truth gate
I'm humbled in your pretty lens (do do do do do do)
I'll hold you don't you go (do do do do do do)

Sometimes your quiet and sometimes I'm quiet (hallelujah)
Sometimes I'm talkative and sometimes your not talkative I know

well I'd like to spread your perfume around the old apartment
could we live together and agree on the same wares
a trapeze is a bird cage even if its empty
it definitely fits the room (do do do do do do)
and we would too (do do do do do do)

Ada gig gig gig hernana! I talk too much without you,
their ears are getting tired of me singing all the night through
Let's just talk together, you and me and me you
And if there's nothing much to say (do do do do do do)
silence is a bore (do do do do do do)

I've gotta big big big heart beat yeah
I think you are the sweetest thing
I wear a coat of feelings and they are loud
but I've been having good days,
think we are the right age
to start our own peculiar ways? (do do do do do do)
With good friendly homes (do do do do do do)

sometimes your quiet and sometimes I'm quiet (hallelujah)
sometimes I'm talkative and sometimes your not talkative I know
sometimes you hear me when others they can't hear me (hallelujah)
sometimes I'm naked and thank god sometimes your naked well hello

[Can I tell you that you are the purple in me
can I call you just to hear you would you care?
When I saw you put your purple finger on me
there's a feeling in your bottle
found your bottle found your heart
gives a feeling from your bottled little part ] x2

(instrumental)

Gotta crush high thought I crushed all I could
crushed all I can then I touched your hand
crush high don't want it to stop
cause stories of your brother make my crush high bop
and you couldn't really know cause its in my toes
and sometimes I wonder where'd that crush high go
crush high then I go and take some pills
cause I can't do all of my dose and still feel ill
you get that whooooooo! (x7) you get that

you get that crush high thought I crushed all I could
crushed all I can then I touched your hand
crush high don't want it to stop
cause stories of your brother make my crush high bop
and you couldn't really know cause its in my toes
and sometimes I wonder where'd that crush high go
crush high then I go and take some pills
cause I can't do all of my dose and still feel ill
you get that whooooooo! (x7) you get that

you get that crush high thought I crushed all I could
crushed all I can then I touched your hand
crush high don't want it to stop
cause stories of your brother make my crush high bop
and you couldn't really know cause its in my toes
and sometimes I wonder where'd that crush high go
crush high then I go and take some pills
cause I can't do all of my dose and still feel ill
you get that whooooooo! (x15) you get that

    That's a good thought of what the purple means. I always thought the purple had to do with what the color purple is associated with, which is romance, wisdom, mystery,creativity etc. so i thought that maybe that had something to do with "the purple in me"

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,

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
