Slip!
Let me talk to you for a minute
I'm like, baby
Where did your love go
You say that I got it but it's so damn hard to believe, yeah
I said, baby
Where did ya manners go
You used to open doors and I adored your courtesy, yeah yeah
So if you really really really wanna stay in my bed
You got to win me over again

Why did you let it slip (slip)
Bring ya love back to me (back to me)
You put ya heart back in it
Say it like you mean it
That's how it used to be
Why did you let it slip (slip)
Gimme that TLC (give it back to me)
And put ya mind back on it
Do it like I want it
That's how it used to be
Why did you let it slip

I'm like, baby
Where did that charm go, yeah
You used to say I'm pretty, give it all that nitty gritty I need, oh yeah
I said, baby
Where did your style go, yeah
You used to be on top of your game and now you look unclean, oh yeah
So if you really really really wanna stay in my pants
You got to do better than that

Why did you let it slip (slip)
Bring ya love back to me (back to me)
You put ya heart back in it
Say it like you mean it
That's how it used to be
Why did you let it slip (slip)
Gimme that TLC (give it back to me)
And put ya mind back on it
Do it like I want it
That's how it used to be
Why did you let it slip

Baby
Where did my smile go, yeah
You used to cheer me up but now I'm tearier than 10 babies
Ooh maybe
Maybe ya swimming on the other side, yeah
It's hard to believe how you could ever get enough of me, yeah yeah

Why did you let it slip (slip)
Bring ya love back to me
You put ya heart back in it
Say it like you mean it
That's how it used to be
Why did you let it slip (slip)
Gimme that TLC (give it back to me)
And put ya mind back on it
Do it like I want it
That's how it used to be
Why did you let it slip (slip)
Bring ya love back to me
You put ya heart back in it
Say it like you mean it
That's how it used to be
Why did you let it slip (slip)
Gimme that TLC (ooh, give it back to me)
And put ya mind back on it
Do it like I want it
That's how it used to be
Why did you let it slip

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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,

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.
