För erotikens faror bevare barnen små
Som inte har en aning om hur illa det kan gå
Nej låt dem hoppa hage och leka militär
Och skjuta på varandra med leksaksgevär
Låt barnen kriga lugnt och snällt
Så glömmer de allt sexuellt
Som hotar dem från alla håll och nog är det väl tur
Att vi här i landet har ordning och cencur

I Sodom och Gomorra var disciplinen svag
Och den som kritiserade blev hängd samma dag
Poliserna var busar, borgmästarn’ en kanalje
Och den som drack mest öl och brännvin fick guldmedalj
Moralen var det uselt med
För tiden hade gått ur led
Det syndades båd natt och dag, i ur som i skur
I Sodom och Gomorra fanns det ingen censur

Ivan den Förskräcklige han var en märklig man
Han gjorde som han ville, gör om det om ni kan!
Han hade vilda vanor, han ställde höga krav
Och den som kritiserade högs huvudet av
Och ingen tordes göra nått
För Ivan kunde höra nått
Och han var inte got att tas med när han blev sur
Ivan den Förskräcklige var svag för censur

Damer utan kläder ska man inte titta på
Fy skäms på sig medborgare som tittar ändå
Det är onaturligt att se en kvinna bar
Det kan man bli förstörd av den saken är klar
Hon skulle haft på sig något lätt
Och dansat klassisk rysk ballett
Då hade det vart konst och befrämjat vår kultur
Det här är väl ingen konst, censur, censur!

Kan hända att ni anser att sådant inte stör
Men lita på kritiken den vet vad den gör
Dom ser vad som är bra och tillåtet för publik
Dom ser vad som är dåligt och skriver kritik
Medborgare så fort ni ser
Att något omoraliskt sker
Eller ni får syn på nått som inte är kultur
Vänd blicken bort och blunda och skrik på censur

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,

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“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.

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.
