I cannot say ‘oh sweetness’
Like he could
And I cannot play a lullaby
Like it should

I’ll give you all night movie marathon
And a triple espresso so you can stay awake
It might be late, but
It’s never too late for that lovin'
My sexy babe

I used to cry but now I have to laugh
Because she’s got that torment
To a fine art
Smart like a foxy
And crafty as a cat
I’m looking up
As I’m lying on my back
Bite the beast
If I want a big piece of the pie
But she’s taken the feast
In the blink of an eye
I cannot justify

What’s going on
It feels so right
When it seems so wrong
Like a plot hatched
In the sweet spot of that trap
Ask what she’s schemes
She say ‘oh this and that’
Then she snaps like a camera
In black with a flash
Puts the drum in the drama
The hand in the clap
She’s a map with no bearings
Attached, no
Safety in this match
Fire you can’t catch
Then zap I was struck by that
Bolt before dawn
Then by breakfast honey
We was signed and sworn

I’ll give you all night movie marathon
And a triple espresso so you can stay awake
It might be late, but
It’s never too late for that lovin'
My sexy babe

Something always telling me
Save prayers before dawn
'Cause what happens when I’m with you
Makes me shake my head then smile and yawn
I’m worn out but I’m beaming
And it seems that we are dreamy
As we head out through that strange old morning door

This game is no game
But it’s played all the same
And I love it even
If it makes me deranged
It’s like tears in the rain
Burning spears in my brain
Cause me pain sometimes
Make me drained
But I cannot complain
Mad the ugly good and bad
Had some happy with my sad
And some tricks in my bag
When it’s up run a muck
Like a bull that just bucked
When it’s down it’s a drag

And you fight with no partner to tag
At times I would dive in the sea
To escape from the rising
And crashing malea
Drink tea with a fat fish
And find a golden key
Then rise to the surface
And open my baby
And maybe she’d say ‘we are crazy’
The two of us together like Melbourne weather
Be like balls in a maze see
We rolling along in obscurity
But when we meet in the middle
Say mmm it’s a treat

I’ll give you all night movie marathon
And a triple espresso so you can stay awake
It might be late but
It’s never too late for that lovin'
My sexy babe

Something always telling me
save your prayers before dawn
'Cause what happens when I’m with you
Makes me shake my head then smile and yawn
I’m worn out but I’m beaming
And it seems that we are dreamy
As we head out through that strange old morning door

I used to laugh
But now I have to cry
Because today my baby tell me
That it’s time to say goodbye
Ask her ‘why what did I do?
You and me we were so sly’
Then she sigh ‘that’s true
We were slinky through and through
But it’s sad and it’s set
I get high then I get depressed
And I guess when we’re together
It’s that happy kind of stress’
Touching left right down
Kiss my finger I reply
I can’t deny you were the best
And by the best I mean the mess you made

I must confess I never
Met a more sexy maid
That smell like me
So bless your wayward ways
And loving craze and crazy days
And things you’d say
And looks you made
You’re not the queen of hearts
You’re the queen of spades
And you’d take my breath away
Any day that way
So anyway is this the end?
Is this the fifth act of the play?
I kissed her then I turned
And was about to walk away
When I sense a little tingle
That begin down from below
Then I hear her with a whisper
You’re the most gullible man I know

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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."

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,

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.
