Yesterday I saw a whore
Lookin' out for more
While she makes my body ache
Still I walk in then I say

A well, uh
I'm on the mic doin', uh
The things you like and I'm, uh
Ras M.G. and I'm, uh
Treat you right

'Cause all the ladies and me
You see we both agree
That, uh, I'm goin' down in world history, well yo

Whoa, she makes my body ache
And you know I live for more
I won't flake or perpetrate
I won't front no funky ho

Don't get me wrong I'm just, uh
Singin' my song I'm just like you
I like to ball my freaks all night long

Not only do I rhyme
I also cut so nice
And all the fightin' perpetratin' DJ's want my slice
'Cause I'm select

Perpetratin' DJ's, come and look for me
Rock me rubadub rock and roll MC
So sweet and so nice
They call me delight

(Go, go, go, go)

My name is Eric, I have nothing to say
Because I am not a fucking DJ
And if you wanna come talk to me
Then you gotta talk to my man Bradley

Uh, uh, elected
My rhymes will be perfected
The fightin' MC's will be dissected and rejected
I am the most impressive
Aspective, and progressive
Motivating, innovating, chillin' and digested

It's obvious as ever
It will be specialized
If your trying to proclaim, uh
It can't be compromised
I am a fresh MC
As you can plainly see
You won't regret a dj fresh until you soon agree
So take a seat and feel the beat
Of course it is okay, uh, uh

Yes, I still rock M.C.
Yo. You're no jumpin', Jay
That's right. We outta here
5000 G, 5000 G
We outta here, we outta here (peace)
Peace, nothing but peace and unity
Seen love and no fight can go in the middle
(All right)

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.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
