This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
My first customer was Megan
she came in for a hamburger with the lot
no meat
"Hey that's a salad roll i said"
and we started going out
My second customer was Susan
she came in for Diet Pepsi morning tea
each day
I said "You don't need to be on a diet do you wanna come out tonight?"
I make hamburgers I get all the girls
and i take 'em out to dinner
and i give 'em all a whirl
If they work i keep 'em
if they don't i keep 'em too
But i teach them all how to be dirty girls
like you
I said "I'll bring Gringo
he's got a lot of money
and he'll take us to the bars where they've got a view
He'll buy us those beers
they give it to you in bottles
They put lemon on the top
and it don't taste too bad i'm telling you
telling you"
My third customer was Maria
she came in for hot chips and sauce
"more sauce" she said
"hey now you're talking"
she took me home to meet her mother
My fourth customer was Sandy
she came in for nothing i could see
except me
So it was i too was eating a hamburger of sorts within an hour
I make hamburgers I get all the girls
and i take 'em out to dinner
and i give 'em all a whirl
If they work i keep 'em
if they don't i keep 'em too
But i teach them all how to be dirty girls
like you

and it don't taste too bad i'm telling you

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

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,

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.

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
lol this song is about a guy who makes hamburgers and f-cks all the female customers. "eating a hamburger of sorts within an hour" means eating her pussy because it looks like a hamburger haha! this song is awesome.
hamburgers: that's where the action is!
