“Hey man heard you’re a real clean shot”
Yeah when I’ve got a couple drinks in me
And I’ve got a couple drinks in me
“Hey man I heard you get the job done”
Yeah if I’ve got a couple drinks in me I’m known to practice apathy
when you see me stagger
know I’m being antagonized by what you can’t hear
and just moving with the (current) current state of self ?emshment?
where I don’t involve my self in
human affairs
just leave me an address of where I live I’ll make it slow and painful


I DON’T ASK FOR MUCH
A FEW BILL AND A HUMAN TOUCH
TAKE THE EDGE OFF

I told you that I’d bring my head I told you I was better off dead
have you heard the kind of shit that I said
I’m madmadman no I’m not a madman I told you if you slipped me a drink
I told you not to speak when I’m thinking
I told you I was having a hard time sleeping
I’m a sadsadman yeah I’m a real sad man

There’s empty barstools to each of my sides
and empty glasses so who the fuck vulgar slang 1 have sexual intercourse with talking and who’s covering the tab?
Just a lonely man with a death wish and a head full of crossed wires making a deal with himself he keeps talking he keeps nodding

A
SICK
SON
OF
A
BITCH
WILL ALWAYS END

    Here's the correct lyrics

    "Hey man, heard you're a real clean shot!" (When I've got a couple drinks in me, and I've got a couple drinks in me!) "Hey man, heard you get the job done!" (When I've got a couple drinks in me, I'm known to practice apathy!)

    When you see me stagger Know I'm being antagonized by what you can't hear And just moving with the current

    Current state of self embalment Where I don't involve myself in human affairs Just leave me an address on where I live I'll make it slow and painful

    I don't ask for much (They will lead us out of town, straight out of town, we can dodge the freight cars, just passerbys in the morning) A few bills, and the occasional, occasional, occasional human touch (I won't move if you won't move, and I won't move if you won't move, trade cigarettes for stories, you and I the Lords of the Rails, straight out of town and that is why we follow the pennies lay for we have stories and smokes) Drink to take the edge off

    I told you that I'd bring you my head I told you I was better off dead Have you heard the kind of shit that I've said? Cause I'm a mad, mad man, no, I'm not a mad man. I told you if you slipped me a drink... I told you not to speak when I'm thinking I told you I was having a hard time sleeping I'm a sad, sad man, yeah I'm a real sad man!

    There's empty bar stools (To each of my sides) And empty glasses (So who the fuck's talking?) And who's covering the tab? Just a lonely man with a deathwish (And a head full of crossed wires) Making a deal with himself (He keeps talking) He keeps nodding

    A SICK SON OF A BITCH WILL ALWAYS END LIKE THIS

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.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
