Kick Me When I'm High

Sum 41

She clings to me like sellophane
Fake plastic submarine
slowly driving me insane
but now thats over

so what if the sex was great
Just a temporary escape
Another thin i grew to hate but now thats over

Why, Why do you always kick me when I'm
High
Knock me down till we see eye to
eye
figure her out
i know she may not Ms right, she'll do right now
She'll do right now

I used to hang on every word
each line was more absurd
kept me so insecure but now thats over
she taught me how to trust
and to beleive in us
then she taought me how to cus that bitch its over
you know i used to be, such a nice boy

Why, Why do you always kick me when I'm
High
Knock me down till we see eye to
eye
figure her out
i know she may not Ms right, she'll do right now


She clings to me like sellophane
Fake plastic submarine
slowly driving me insane
but now thats over(now thats over)

Why, Why do you always kick me when I'm
High
Knock me down till we see eye to
eye
figure her out
i know she may not Ms right, she'll do right now
she'll do right now
right now
oh right now
(ah)

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,

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
