Ease up and cool out 'cause
Time is running out
Come say ease up a little, ease up a lot
Ease uppa ease uppa ease uppa

These times are dangerous even
The blind can see
Weapons in those schoolyards
With that I can't agree
That they run out of shots
God knows I got to pray
Gun talk and bullet youth choose another way

You no hear Micheal Moore him ah talk
Dem who buy the bullet ah go
Ignite the spark me say
Me no want what the gunman ah deal
Dem der kind of bargain to
I man it don't appeal

Ease up and cool out 'cause
Time is running out
Ease up and cool out, the future is in doubt
Ease up and cool out 'cause
Time is running out ease up

Just press the button and we
All go up in flames
We tell the children no yet
We play our war games
It's getting out of hand
And growing everyday
We squeeze the trigger yet
The problems they remain

Ease up and cool out 'cause
Time is running out
Ease up and cool out, the future is in doubt
Ease up and cool out, yes time is running out
Ease up and cool out, the future is in doubt

Gunfire, Satan a liar
Pouring on the petrol and the
Flames are getting higher
Inspire, lyrics catch a fire
Tell the people something that's what
I want and desire gunfire, gunfire

Where you going with that gun in your hand?
Thinks that you rough
You want to own the land
One day soon you gunna bite the dust
So get your finger of the
Trigger 'cause that's dangerous
Where you going with that gun in your hand?
Thinks that you rough
You want to own the land
One day soon you gunna bite the dust
So get your finger of the
Trigger 'cause that's dangerous

Ease up and cool out 'cause
Time is running out
Ease up and cool out, the future is in doubt
Ease up and cool out, yes time is running out
Ease up and cool out, the future is in doubt
Ease up

Me no want wha de gunman ah deal
Dem der kind of bargain to
I man it don't appeal
Me no want wha de gunman ah sell
Dem der kinda ting it ah
Go land you inna hell

Just take a look around man, what do you see?
Gunman, dem a turn crazy
Dem fire gun and bullets ah fly and
Dem ah kill off the youth
Just cool out me Bredrin 'cause you
Know it ah de truth!
Yeah you know it's the truth
Ease up and cool out 'cause
Time is running out

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”

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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,

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.

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.
