Falling flat, falling on my face
Up yours you fucking basket case
Come on, come on, take a shot
Kick me, kicking you, kick the lot

Talk to you with a frightening blade
Hear me stalk through the 6th fucking grade
Ear wax cloggin' up your head
Maybe you're dumb, maybe you want to be dead

Take a ride through a city tonight
Or we can stay here smoking shit

Na na na na na na na
Na na na na yeah yeah yeah

Fear grabs like a falling man
Unforgiving is its choking hand
Come on, come on if you've got the guts
Kill me now 'cause I don't give a fuck
In, out, baby I don't mind.
Nice cunt, nice behind
Groping around like a stupid kid

Na na na na na na na

Bastards fucking everywhere
It's all I see, I can't help but stare
Talking crap and looking like a twat
See the blade, feel the blade in your back

This night, this night is hot
Hope it rains, hope it rains a lot
Everywhere suckers stop and stare

Na na na na na na na

Fucking city's just a fucking mess
Up to its neck in fucking piss
Children playing with broken glass
Kill themselves for a laugh

Tired of being sold as meat
Whores give up beating on my meat
Actually, you know I don't really mind
Too many scabs, flesh is hard to find

Crime is here, here to stay
Under pressure to admit you're gay
No money, no love, no luck
Tough shit, stupid worthless fuck
Say you will, say you won't, say you will

Na na na na yeah yeah yeah
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Here I come, here I come

Shit and scum, fucking pigs everywhere
Harassing me but I don't fucking care
I'm not free, they're always tying me down
Taking me, taking me down town

Bitches, yeah I fucked my share
And their mothers cause I don't care
Say you will, say you won't, say you will
Talking shit, you want it up the hilt
Always feeling sick and always drunk
Raining at last, thank Christ you cunt
Do me now with your heroin chic
Say nothing more, do not fucking speak

Calmly walk from slut to slut
Up everyone, you know I don't mind a fuck
No protection baby, who fucking cares
Take a look, come on, everyone stare

Life for life is just the way its at
I don't remember last time I laughed
Call my woman but she's never home
Killed everyone to use this fucking phone
Eye for an eye and all that shit
Rip you off 'cause I need a hit
Sit down now I've had enough

    Life of a drug girl. Who dosnt care about life. Living in crime city. In the song they sing about the city that is totally messed up. Drugs, whores and all kind of fun stuff.

    Drug girl??... hmm it doesn't say "chick" but "chic" which means stylish and elegant. clearly meant in a ironical way. its about a guy who has lost all confidence in himself. His surroundings has lost all confidence and faith in him aswell. The guy has become numb and careless towards himself and others, due to his exessive drug abuse.

    My Interpretation

    I view this song as being more of a disgust with the way that society is run. The profanities in this song are drowned in static, but I think this is in mockery of censorship. It seems to be a full verbal attack towards the vast majority of people.

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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,

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
