Tell me at least six things you may
Or may not consider personal
I'm not talking about jet ski accidents
Rather truly things you'd never thought you'd tell
Don't you think that we should kiss
While the Husker Du is playing?
Do you like Grant Hart songs?
Do you like Bob Mould songs?
And have you ever sung along to New Day Rising?

Ba ba bum, ba ba bum, ba ba bum, ba ba bum

I love to make reluctant sex
Even though you say it's wrong
It's wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
You prattle on, but so is speeding
And I watch you speed every day in that truck
I love to make you nervous
I'd love to make you sweat
I'd love to make you breakfast the morning after

Ba ba bum, ba ba bum, ba ba bum, ba ba bum

    the line is actually "don't you think that we should kiss, while the husker du is playing... do you like grant hart songs, do you like bob mould songs..?". bob mould and grant hart were both in husker du.

    i will better my double post by making this a triple post - i forgot a part of my husker du argument! 'new day rising' is a husker du record (inicidentally one of my favourite records ever)

    i also love the part - "you prattle on, but so is speeding/and i watch you speed every day in that truck". i am going to make my boyfriend sing me this song.

    I think it might be "I love to make reluctant sex" not "reluctant sucks." I'm not sure though.

    this song is actually called the democracy of small things

    and it's also "i love to make reluctant sex", not sucks. meaning she is confused about the things she does and doesnt think that she should be having sex with the man shes talking about but she feel she has a sense of duty and a slight want for it which forces her into something she knows is wrong.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
