Dizzee Rascal, Chrome.
We got the Ting Tings every time, yeah?

Four letter word just to get me along,
It’s a difficulty and I’m biting on my tongue,
And I, I keep stalling and keeping me together,
People around gonna’ to find something to say now,
Holdin’ back every day the same,
Don’t want to be a loner listen to me (OH NO)
I never say anything at all,
But with nothing to consider they forgot my name (ame ame ame.)

They call me blud
They call be rudeboi
They call me OI
They call me mate
That’s not my name,
That’s not my name,
That’s not my name,
That’s not my name.
They call me Maiyou.
But I’m a fly you,
They use the N word like it’s a game.
That’s not my name
That’s not my name
That’s not my name
That’s not my name

I miss the catch if you throw me the ball,
I’m the last kid standing up against the wall,
Keep up, fallin', these nights, they keep me boring
Getting glammed up and sitting on the fence now
So alone, all the time at night, I lock myself away
Listen to me (OH NO)
Although I’m dressed up, out and all,
With everything considered they forget my name (ame ame ame)

They call me blud
They call be rudeboi
They call me OI
They call me mate
That’s not my name,
That’s not my name,
That’s not my name,
That’s not my name.
They call me Maiyou.
But I’m a fly you,
They use the N word like it’s a game.
That’s not my name
That’s not my name
That’s not my name
That’s not my name

Are you calling me rudeboi?
(Why, why rudeboi? What's wrong with that? Yeah man)
Are you calling me blud?
(Why, why blud? Yeah, blud, man, what's happening?)
Are you calling me Maiyou?
(Maiyouth? I'm a big man out here, I ain't no maiyouth, what you talkin' about!)
Are you calling me mate?
(Alright mate? What you doing mate?)

They call me blud (Are you calling me Rudeboi?)
They call be rudeboi
They call me OI
They call me mate
That’s not my name,
That’s not my name,
That’s not my name,
That’s not my name.
They call me Maiyou. (Are you calling me Blud?)
But I’m a fly you,
They use the N word like it’s a game.
That’s not my name
That’s not my name
That’s not my name
That’s not my name
(Are you calling me Maiyou)
Don’t call me Rudeboi
Don’t call me Rudeboi
When I ain’t no rudeboi
I ain’t no rudeboi
Don’t call me Maiyou
Who ya callin’ Maiyou
My name not Maiyou
Who ya callin’ Maiyou
(Are you calling me Mate)
I’m Dizzee Rascal
I’m Dizzee Rascal
I’m just a rascal
Rude Dizzee Rascal
I’m Dizzee Rascal
I’m Dizzee Rascal
I’m in the live lounge
We’ve got the Ting Ting’s

SHIUUUUUUUU

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”

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
