I spread my wings
I tried to fly
I believe in myself
When there was nothing right
And I
I know I am dust
I know we are sand
But we give of ourselves
As best as we can
Why does it always rain
On Mondays
For me

Bodies in motion
Bodies at rest
Got to get inside you
Got to get lost
Jump into the water
Jump into your life
Diving in deep
To your ever changing light

I been lost
And I been found
I made my bed
In this sea of sound
And we have been so high
Been so low
Are you the one
That I need to know
Why does it always rain
On Mondays
For me

Bodies in motion
Bodies at rest
Got to get inside you
Got to get lost
Jump into the water
Jump into your life
Diving in deep
To your ever changing light
Into the deep of your ever changing light
Of your ever changing never changing light

Into your light
Into your light

We found love
And we found pain
And I know that you're sinking
'Cause I feel the same
Why does it always rain
On Mondays
For me

Bodies in motion
Bodies at rest
Got to get inside you
Got to get lost
Jump into the water
Jump into your life
Diving in deep
To your ever changing light

Bodies in motion
Bodies at rest
Got to get inside you
Got to get lost
Jump into the water
Jump into your life
Diving in deep
To your ever changing light

    DUDE. HOW CAN NOBODY HAVE WRITTEN ABOUT THIS SONG!!!! This is my second faverote bush song, the other being cold contagious. What the fuck!. anyway... i absoultly love this song with a passion. It's just so powerful. the way it takes you on a rollercoaster. Ups and downs. It rocks, then it makes you wanna cry. i think Its' just about the feelings he feels for a girl and everything she puts him through, physical and emotional. And despite everything he wants to always stay friends. Its creepy how i can realte. this song just touches me. Great song. Rocks

    This really is a great song. I loved the line 'Your child is on fire'. Don't know what it's supposed to mean.. but it's just a bold lyric!

    i love this song. it's one of my favorite bush tracks just b/c of the feeling of the song... sometimes it's so hard to just be friends with someone... b/c a purely platonic relationship btwn. a guy and a girl is so hard to achieve. and this song conveys that. beautiful.

    He is definately talking on many levels about his sexual relationship w/ a chick. " Hush child - lay your sweet lips on me This greed - bigger than you and me Will you come again " have u ever wanted someone that bad? u cannot control your desire (greed). "Tongue tied and a visceral third degree Feel warm - center of gravity" tongie-tied (french kissing or speechless from your desire) visceral is your vein system-when u get sexually excited your veins swell(down there-men & women) that is how men get a hard-on and "center of gravity" is her g-spot! "wash us all away-body never lies" you can't hide an orgasm. Your body will always give away how you feel. u can't hide your true physical desires and responses to another person. "Will you come again Will we stay friends " ok, he knows they have to be together cause they cannot deny what they feel, but he is worried it will screw everything else up. will they be friends still after they have each other or will it be awkward forever after?" There are times when I wish That I was you Thick skinned- cities you drive me through Better than me - you're a woman " he thinks somehow that he feels more pain than she does, that she can easily put their time together past her, possibly to be w/someone else without looking back or remembering him-thinks somehow, she is stronger (emotionally) b/c she is a woman. He must have had a mother that was there for him emotionally and/or that he saw as being "stonger" emotionally than others in his life. "Seven days and my system is free again We rise - lose it on oblivion Falling away - sorry for the way Your child is on fire Lick these my ruby lips Drop your protein pills " ok-this may be far-fetched, but somehow I think he is talking about a woman's cycle-during certain times the "protein pills"- sperm-is "lost on oblivion"-get shot "out there" to never become anything. Or "lick these my ruby lips" he is going down on her and she cums dropping her protein pills-anyway, in the end he says it is just better to "lose yourself" totally enjoy and give into the moment. The feeling you have after that...the kissing...etc. could never fully be explained even with "pretty words".

    This is one of the most sexual songs ever! I think High Way was closest on this one. Almost 90% of this song could be seen as an allusion to oral sex. I dunno, maybe I just have a dirty mind...but "will you come again"? ;-)

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
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,

Plastic Bag
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.
