We Are the Pipettes

The Pipettes

We are the Pipettes...
Gwenno! RiotBecki! Rosay!
One, two, three, let's go!

Take us, take us to your planet
We've got enough we can't stand it
give us a sound and we'll can it
Can it can it can it

We've taken all we can manage
Just say the word and we'll ban it
Make us a deal and we'll land it and we'll brand it

We are the Pipettes
And we've got no regrets
If you haven't noticed yet
We're the prettiest girls you've ever met
We are the Pipettes
We will drop you in our nets
When you're crying in your bed
You'll hope we haven't finished with you yet

Take us, take us to your planet
Give us your mind and we'll scan it
Send us a ship and we'll man it
'Cause we mean it

Throw us the love we've been handed
Lend us some film we'll be candid
Give us the wheels
Make us a meal
Do you know how I feel?

We are the Pipettes
And we've got no regrets
If you haven't noticed yet
We're the prettiest girls you've ever met
We are the Pipettes
We will drop you in our nets
When you're crying in your beds
You'll hope we haven't finished with you

We are the Pipettes
And we've got no regrets
If you haven't noticed yet
We're the prettiest girls you've ever met
We are the Pipettes
We will drop you in our nets
When you're crying in your beds
You'll hope we haven't finished with you yeah
We haven't finished with you yeah
We haven't finished with you yeah
We haven't finished with you yet

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
