Whose round is it anyway?
I paid, just the other day
You know that, it's really not that hard
All you got to do is pull out your credit card
You call yourself a friend of mine
But I am paying all the time
When it's time to drop some dough
You're the one that's always slow
You say that it’s not that you’re cheap
It’s your arms are too short and your pockets are too deep

It’s your alligator arms, your arms, your arms
It's your alligator arms
It’s your alligator arms, your arms, your arms
It's your alligator arms

My mother thinks that you're a saint
Everybody else, we all know you ain't
My sister has a crush on you
I bet she'd change her mind if she only knew
The bill arrives, you're never found
Get to the bar and stand your round
Just once, why don't you volunteer?
Get up and buy us all a beer
You say that it’s not that you’re cheap
It’s your arms are too short and your pockets are too deep

It’s your alligator arms, your arms, your arms
It's your alligator arms
It’s your alligator arms, your arms, your arms
You've got alligator arms

You really don't seem to have a clue
We don't want to hang out or go to bars with you
Your wallet must have a lock and key
Or maybe you just think that everything in life is free
Were not asking for a yacht
We just want a whiskey shot
A beer or vodka would be fine
A cocktail or a glass of wine

It’s your alligator arms, your arms, your arms
It's your alligator arms
It’s your alligator arms, your arms, your arms
You've got alligator arms

I’m telling you, I’m telling you, I’ll tell you this is what I think
It's time to cowboy up and buy us all a drink
We all agree it's got to be your shout
You better belly-up and get your money out
When it comes to drinking you're the man
You drink more than a camel can
You're like a fricking reservoir
You knock them back like Johnny Tarr
You say that it’s not that you’re cheap
It’s your arms are too short and your pockets are too deep

It’s your alligator arms, your arms, your arms
It's your alligator arms
It’s your alligator arms, your arms, your arms
You've got alligator arms
It’s your alligator arms, your arms, your arms
You've got alligator arms
It’s your alligator arms, your arms, your arms
You've got alligator arms

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
