Show me, show me, show me a starry-eyed kid
I, I, I will break his jaw
I won't, I won't, I won't let him get his hopes up
No, oh, oh, oh
And I will save him from himself
Here's a picture with a note
"No, don't turn out like me"
It's only for your own good
No, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

And haven't you heard
The word on the street is
"I lost it, called it quits"
Get it into the sun
Out from behind the gossip
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

This story's getting old
The homewrecker with a heart of gold
Keep you locked up in the trunk of my mind
Keep, k-keep talking
Keep this alive
This story's getting old
The homewrecker with a heart of gold
Keep you locked up in the trunk of my mind now-ow-ow-ow

Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey

Even when there's n-n-nothing worth living for
You're still, you're still, still worth lying for
N-no one has to know-ow-ow
And haven't you heard
The word on the street is
"I lost it, called it quits"
Get it into the sun
Out from behind the gossip
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

This story's getting old
The homewrecker with a heart of gold
Keep you locked up in the trunk of my mind
Keep, keep talking
Keep this alive
This story's getting old (this story's getting old)
The homewrecker with a heart of gold
Keep you locked up in the trunk of my mind now-ow-ow-ow

This story's getting old
The homewrecker with a heart of gold
Keep you locked up in the trunk of my mind
Keep, keep talking
Keep this alive
This story's getting old (this story's getting old)
The homewrecker with a heart of gold
Keep you locked up in the trunk of my mind now-ow-ow-ow
Now-ow-ow-ow, now-ow-ow-ow, now-ow-ow-ow

Stop!

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Dreamwalker
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.

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.
Album art
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.
Album art
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
