My head is lead, I don't ever wanna go to bed
Your hair is on fire
You snuff the blaze, turn to vapor then you float away
We got into a bad fight

Laid her on the bed
Laid her on the bed
Laid her on the bed
Laid her on the bed
Laid her on the bed
Laid her on the bed
Laid her on the bed

My eyes and lungs
I'm a prophet and I speak in tongues
I know how you'll die
Your sister groans an usurper to the holy throne
To me she's just a dead spy

Laid her on the bed
Laid her on the bed
Laid her on the bed
Lie to all your friends
Lie to all your friends
Lie to all your friends
Lie to all your friends

I don't know what you feel like
Ambushed on a road, stole your gold
Your a rose and you're laughing now
Everything that I owned starts to pile up like bones
Make the walls of a prison

Laid her on the bed
Laid her on the bed

I don't ever wanna go to bed
You stay up for the fight
The champ goes down like a clown in the second round
I wish we'd had a bed or goodbye

Lie to all your friends
Lie to all your friends
Lie to all your friends
Lie to all your friends
Lie to all your friends
Lie to all your friends
Lie to all your friends
Laid her on the bed
Laid her on the bed
Laid her on the bed

    These are the actual lyrics, I've been listening to the cd on repeat since it leaked yesterday, no sleep.

    "My head is lead, I don't ever wanna go to bed. Your hair is on fire. You snuff the blaze, turn to vapor then you float away. We got into a bad fight.

    Laid her on her bed.

    My eyes and lungs. I'm a prophet and I speak in tongues. I know how you'll die. Your sister groans "An usuper to the holy throne". To me she's just a dead spy.

    Laid her on her bed. Lie to all your friends.

    I don't know what you feel like. Ambushed on a road, stole your gold. Your a rose and you're laughing now. Everything that I owned starts to pile up like bones. Make the walls of a prison.

    Laid her on her bed.

    I don't ever wanna go to bed. He stayed up for the fight. The champ goes down like a clown in the second round. I wish we'd had a bed or goodbye.

    Lie to all your friends. Laid her on her bed."

    My Interpretation

    Think this is mostly right:

    My head is lead I don't ever wanna go to bed Your hair is on fire You snuff the blaze, turn to vapor then you float away We got into a bad fight

    Later on in bed Later on in bed Later on in bed

    My eyes and lung I'm a prophet and I speak in tongues I know how you'll die Your sister groans "A usuper to the holy throne" To me she's just a dead spy

    Later on in bed Later on in bed Later on in bed

    Lie to all your friends Lie to all your friends Lie to all your friends Lie to all your friends

    I don't know what you feel like Ambushed on a road, stole your gold Your a rose and you're laughing now Everything that I owned started piling up like bones Make the walls of a prison

    Later on in bed Later on in bed

    I don't ever wanna go to bed He stayed up for the fire The champ goes down like a clown in the second round I wish we had a bed for your body

    Lie to all your friends... Later on in bed...

    people saying "it's 'laid her on the bed'" "no, it's later on the bed'", how could you possibly tell the difference if it was one or the other.

    My head is lead I don't ever wanna go to bed Your hair is on fire You snuff the blaze Turn to vapor Then you float away We got into a bad fight

    Later on the bed (x7)

    My eyes are lungs I'm a prophet And I speak in tongues I know how you'll die Your sister groans Oh, usurper to the holy throne To me, she's just a dead spy

    Later on the bed (x3) Lie to all your friends (x4)

    I don't know what you feel like Ambushed on the road Stole your gold You're a rose And you're laughin' now Everything that I own Starts to pile up like bones Like the walls of a prison

    Later on the bed (x2)

    I don't ever wanna go to bed We stayed up for the fight The champ goes down Like a clown In the second round I wish we'd had a better goodbye

    Lie to all your friends (x7) Later on the bed (x3)

    So I listened a few times on YouTube, and here's what I got, for now:

    My head is dead I don't ever want to go to bed. My hair is on fire. Stuffed and blazed I don't ever want to throw away We got into a bad fight

    Lay here on the bed. Lay here on the bed. Lay here on the bed.

    My eyes and lungs I'm a prophet and I'll speak in tongues And have you Dad [no idea what this line is, but I'm pretty sure it isn't that] Assisted bronze gonna step into my holy throne. [also unsure, almost sounds like the first words are "my sister"] To me she's just a dead tack.

    Lay here on the bed. Lie to all your friends.

    I know you feel like Ambushed on a road Still you know you're a rose and you're laughing now. Everything that I owned started piling up like bones Make the walls of a prison

    Lay here on the bed.

    My head is riddled I dont ever want to go to bed. [not sure what this is, I think it's the same as the first two lines, though.] We stayed up fortified Your chin was down like a clown in the second round I wish we'd had a bed [no idea about the last part]

    Lie to all your friends.

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

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”

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,

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
