This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
They say I'm wastin' time they say that I'm no good.
Summer of my life, not doing what I should.
Call me poison ivy 'cause I'm far from good,
Pretty from afar like a dark star.
They say I'm dangerous, they think I'm really bad.
I'm just making up for what I never had.
Go out every night whenever I feel sad.
Oh this drive-by love, got me crazy like a drug.
I wear my red lipstick, got my make up on,
Stumble into trouble, siren with a sad song.
They all got girlfriends, but I'm the one that they want:
Miss America with the blue mascara on.
I've spent my whole life driving in cars with boys,
Riding 'round town drinking in the white noise.
Used to talk about where we'd be and where we'd go.
Now we know, baby, now we know.
Spent my whole life wasted in bars with boys.
Playin' rock 'n' roll dancing in the loud noise.
Used to talk about where we'd be and where we'd go.
Now we know, baby, now we know.
Mommy's Mercedes or Billy's pick up truck?
Come home late at night and baby picks me up.
Tell him "Just drive on and d-don't ever stop.
Don't take me home again, take me to a new land."
I wear my red lipstick, grab my coat and gun.
Wonder if this is it, it's darkest before dawn.
Sometimes I wanna give in, but I just have to go on.
Miss America. Now I'm gone, baby, gone.
I've spent my whole life driving in cars with boys,
Riding 'round town drinking in the white noise.
Used to talk about where we'd be and where we'd go.
Now we know, baby, now we know.
Spent my whole life wasted in bars with boys
Playing rock 'n' roll dancing in the loud noise.
Used to talk about where we'd be and where we'd go.
Now we know, baby, now we know.
I was born to live fast, die young,
Leave a beautiful corpse, live my life on the run.
Got my cash and my Louis Vuitton,
Diamonds, and guns.
Girls just wanna, just wanna have fun.
I've spent my whole life driving in cars with boys,
Ridin' 'round town drinking in the white noise.
Used to talk about where we'd be and where we'd go.
I've spent my whole life driving in cars with boys,
Ridin' 'round town drinking in the white noise.
Used to talk about where we'd be and where we'd go.
Now we know, baby, now we know.
Spent my whole life wasted in bars with boys
Playing rock 'n' roll dancing in the loud noise.
Used to talk about where we'd be and where we'd go.
Now we know, baby, now we know.
Summer of my life, not doing what I should.
Call me poison ivy 'cause I'm far from good,
Pretty from afar like a dark star.
They say I'm dangerous, they think I'm really bad.
I'm just making up for what I never had.
Go out every night whenever I feel sad.
Oh this drive-by love, got me crazy like a drug.

Stumble into trouble, siren with a sad song.

Miss America with the blue mascara on.
I've spent my whole life driving in cars with boys,
Riding 'round town drinking in the white noise.
Used to talk about where we'd be and where we'd go.
Now we know, baby, now we know.
Spent my whole life wasted in bars with boys.
Playin' rock 'n' roll dancing in the loud noise.
Used to talk about where we'd be and where we'd go.
Now we know, baby, now we know.

I've spent my whole life driving in cars with boys,

Spent my whole life wasted in bars with boys
Playing rock 'n' roll dancing in the loud noise.
Used to talk about where we'd be and where we'd go.
Now we know, baby, now we know.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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,
Head > Heels

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
I think this one is kind of the deeper story to 'This is what makes us girls', or a continuation at least :)
