Love Me Already

Black Kids

My girl's been a real whore
Spending her time with Theodore
Now Teddy he's my best friend but
With friends like these
Who needs enemies?

My mother she told me
You're being silly
Talking, talking crazy
Don't tell me what my problem is
Just tell me what
She's doing at his

Apartment at midnight
I didn't get an invite
Tonight on my birthday
That ain't half right
My best boy Teddy

Goddammit girl, just love me already

Can't you love, love, love me already
Love, love, love me already, baby
Won't you love, love, love me already
Love, love, love me already, baby

My father he told me
Biting and begging
That hurts your knees
You can't treat women like hotels
Why should she love you?

She knows you so well
Now I'm at a payphone
Humming so slow
To a busy tone
Now I knock on Ted's door
Keeping time with my heart beat

(He knocks on Ted's door
Keeping time with his heart beat)
Now I knock on Ted's door
Keeping time with my heart beat
The whore lets me in
And it looks (looks) like (like) a (a) party

Surprise, surprise it's your party, baby
I know you hate secrets but try not to hate me
Teddy and I, we kept it all on the slide
So baby don't cry
And please don't you try
So love me already

Love me already
So baby don't cry
And please don't you try
So baby don't cry
And please don't you try

So love, love, love me already
Love, love, love me already, baby
Love, love, love me already
Love, love, love me already, baby
Won't you love, love, love me already
Love, love, love me already, baby
Can't you love, love, love me already
Love, love, love me already, baby
Ready baby, ready baby, ready baby

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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

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.
