Back on my planet, they laugh at my jokes
And everyone drinks and everyone smokes
No one speaks 'less there's something to say
There's no false words just telecommunique

Back on my planet you cannot tell lies
'Cos everyone can see it by the look in your eye
Parties all last for a couple of days
No one sleeps 'cos beds are prohibited

Back on my planet, silence is granted
We're laughing at the earthlings
Back on my planet, back on my planet

And meanwhile…

Back on my planet where dinosaurs roam
With uncut TV beaming into your home
As mother nature being eager and free
Money don't talk just givin' ability

Back on my planet, rules are all slanted
We're talkin' to be broken
Back on my planet, back on my planet, back on my planet…

Take a trip down an open road, all the eyes on an evening star
Gets to move a bit closer to the ground, like night at play
Wanna know what I need to know, wanna see that we ain't in charge
Where the superpowers will try to run it down
All alone, you're not alone
'Cos it's a meeting time for a different neighbour, small and slight and grey

There's something going on
There's something going on
There's something going on

Look into those eyes, it comes as no surprise
" It's little more than science fiction" the government replies
They could be taking our daughters, they could be taking our ladies
Making sky babies, sky babies, sky babies

I, I'm looking at the sky tonight, everything clear and defined, just like the last time
All ideas inside my head, anything like a real one
I'm looking from the floor tonight, weary of humankind
Tired of the chains that bind, wasting time on diatribe

And all the time the walls are closing in, I'm feeling stuck inside again
With something more divine than suicide, more generous than faith

'Cos when I see a new sun arrive, I'll be myself bathin' on the other side
A simple way to win with ease, I'll take a cheap seat please

'Cos you're the only one thing I wanna know
So won't you take me with you when you go
And there's a million feelings I wanna show
If you take me with you when you go

Yesterdays dreams don't mean nothing it seems
'Cos the big life keeps them waiting
And the people we find with another thin mind
They just don't care at all
And the halcyon days of innocence stays
As a memory plays it one more time
Here today, gone tomorrow

This is it in layman's terms, phenomenon of UFOs
Is well acknowledged by the state but secret to the president
Employed to be a public face and keep the public feeling safe
But higher powers in government hide something a million times
The size of the killing of JFK, the CIA are aware that higher
Powers exist with untold knowledge of life and death dimension
It could alter public awareness of religion, which is the only faith
That keeps us all in true control, and that's why we can never know

They're shaking and they're fucking us again
'Cos you're the only one thing I wanna know

So won't you take me with you when you go
And there's a million feelings I wanna show
If you take me with you when you go
'Cos you're the only one thing I wanna know
So won't you take me with you when you go
And there's a million feelings I wanna show
If you take me with you when you go
'Cos you're the only one thing I wanna know

    Possibly one of the greatest songs of all time. If anybody is reading this but hasn't heard this song, I implore you to do so. 11 minutes of sheer brilliance by the genuis that is Ginger.

    The song itself is about UFO's and suchlike, and the possibilty of aliens impregnating our earth ladies, and creating...well, sky babies!

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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,

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.
