Amanda: You're a slob.
It's such a bore.
Your underwear strewn on the floor.
Voltaire: And you're a packrat most extreme.
Our house is full of magazines.
Amanda: The toilet's broke, and yet I bet His Majesty ain't fixed it yet.
Voltaire: You're one to talk, sleepyhead, and get your fat ass out of bed.

Voltaire & Amanda: But in the eyes of God, we said our vows before the pews.
"Not until death may we part."
Voltaire: So, until then, I'm stuck with you.

Amanda: Swore that you'd be true to me, but gave me infidelity.
Voltaire: Why should I give a tinker's cuss?
She was your sister.
What's the fuss?
Amanda: Well then, let's propose a truce.
What's good for gander is good for goose.
Voltaire: Hey now, that's different.
You took to bed my favorite dog and all my friends.

Voltaire & Amanda: But in the eyes of God, we said our vows before the pews.
"Not until death may we part."
So, until then, I'm stuck with you.
But in the eyes of God, we said our vows before the pews.
"Not until death may we part."
Amanda: This is my curse.
I said, "I do."
"Better or worse" I'm stuck with you.

Amanda: You poked my eye.
I wear a patch.
I should have given you one to match.
Voltaire: Did you forget you got me back?
You chopped my thumb off with an ax.
Amanda: You drowned my kittens one by one.
You looked like you were having fun.
Voltaire: You stabbed my mother in the chest with a Korean bayonet.

Voltaire & Amanda: But in the eyes of God, we said our vows before the pews.
"Not until death may we part."
So, until then, I'm stuck with you.
But in the eyes of God, we said our vows before the pews.
"Not until death may we part."
Voltaire: This is my curse.
I said, "I do."
Lest you die first, I'm stuck with you.

Amanda:
And now I lie here in the grave.
I pray to God my soul to save.
And in the darkness of the tomb, I'm glad I'm lying next to you.
Voltaire: And as I lay here six feet down, my body buried underground in this dank and dreary cold, I'm just glad I'm not alone.

Voltaire & Amanda: But in the eyes of God, we said our vows before the pews.
"Not until death may we part."
So, until then, I'm stuck with you.
But in the eyes of God, we said our vows before the pews.
"Not until death may we part."
Amanda: I'm not sad I said, "I do."
Voltaire & Amanda: I'm just glad I was stuck with 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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
