New Pony

The Dead Weather

I had a pony, her name was Lucifer
How much longer? How much longer?
I had a pony, her name was Lucifer
How much, how much, how much longer?
She broke her leg and needed shooting
I swear it hurt me more than it hurt her

Sometimes I wonder what's going on with Miss X
How much, how much? How much longer?
Sometimes I wonder what's going on with Miss X
How much, how much? How much longer?
She got such a sweet disposition
I never know what the poor girl's gonna do to me next

How much, how much? How much, how much,
How much, how much?, how much, how much longer?
Everybody says you're usin' voodoo
I see your feet walk by themselves
How much, how much? How much longer?
How umch, how much? How much longer?
Well everybody says you're usin' voodoo
I've seen your feet walk by themselves
How much, how much? How much longer?

Oh, baby, that God you been prayin' to
Gonna give ya back what you're wishin' on someone else

Come over here, pony, I wanna climb up one time on you
Come over here, pony, I wanna climb up one time on you
Come over here, pony, I wanna climb up one time on you

You're so nasty and you're so bad
But I said I love you, yes I do
How much, how much? How much, how much
How much, how much? How much, how much
How much, how much? How much, how much
How much, how much? How much, how much

    this song is so fucking good. i definitely don't think the how much's ever get to be too much. allison's character of a tough ass bitch that will give anyone hell who messes with her in the dead weather is so perfect.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.

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.

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.
