Eureka, eureka, eureka
The cheaper alternative
Let's steal now, let's steal now
Let's steal from the fashions with a not to kill
Idealing, idealing
A blow job for every corporate executive
A-when the lights go out it's you and palace seats at home and turns around
You'll be there in your dressing gown and sowing all the seeds

Be a something so fast ‘cos you've gotta go free
You've got a backstage pass so you're VIP
I bet you're happy right now but where will you be
When they ask you to beg for the cash
You demand and you ain't got a song ‘cos it's all second hand

So plead it, so plead it
So plead like you need it, your free 60 seconds of fame
They've seen it, they've seen it
They've seen all of bleed on the back of again
But if you miss something don't look around
There ain't no time, you're losing ground
They own your flesh by pound, by pound
Those cunts you choose to leave

It's the cheapest thrill and it's the quickest meal
Try underkill
It's the cheapest thrill and it's the quickest meal
Try underkill
Try underkill
Try underkill
Try underkill

It's the cheapest thrill and it's the quickest meal
Try underkill
It's the cheapest thrill and it's the quickest meal
Try underkill
It's the cheapest thrill and it's the quickest meal
Try underkill
It's the cheapest thrill and it's the quickest meal
Try underkill

And when you don't need skill try underkill
And when you don't need skill try underkill
And when you don't need skill try underkill
And when you don't need skill try underkill
And when you don't need skill try underkill
And when you don't need skill try underkill
And when you don't need skill try underkill
And when you don't need skill try underkill
And when you don't need skill try underkill
And when you don't need skill try underkill
And when you don't need skill try underkill
And when you don't need skill try underkill

I'll do anything, a-just as long as I feel
We'll be big, tall, Nelson, live to fame
Be a rock ‘n roll star, but a formula laid
We'll be big, tall, Nelson, live to fame
And let's split, with the cash
We only did it, ‘cos we're broke!

    I think this is another one about record companies and how much they suck. They don't represent the band as they should - a problem that the Wildhearts seem to have a lot!

    Underkill could refer to a lack of exposure of the band to the public by the record company i.e. the opposite of overkill.

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"

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.

Cajun Girl
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”

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.
