Champagne

311

I will never understand you
When will I stop trying
I mean, 'cause it's just not how I planned to
Spend my time 'til dying

I mean, champagne
California on the brain
She's got an appetite for no refrains
Just verses, she curses as blood vessels burst in defiance
She made an alliance to the dark side of Hollywood
Where everything looks good
So I treat her right as any other player would
Lightly, then she wants to fight me
Too bad, that's just too bad
I can't be around to pick up your bags and your debts
She wants to love me with threats
Not taking chances, I'm hedging my bets
With other girls I'm not providing pearls
I'm free, free

I will never understand you
When will I stop trying
I mean, 'cus it's just not how I planned to
Spend my time 'til dying
I mean

I know loving me isn't easy
I'm home and next thing I'm leaving
But when I look at you it's like praying with my eyes
I follow you to sleep so I will
Find your dream place and hey, I'm not an angel
but girl you make me feel like I know one, one

Champagne
California on the brain
She's got an appetite for no refrains
Just verses, she curses as blood vessels burst in defiance
She made an alliance to the dark side of Hollywood
Where everything looks so good
So I treat her right as any other sucker would
Lightly, then she wants to fight me
Too bad, that's just too bad
I can't be around to pick up your bags and your debts
She wants to love me with threats
Not taking chances, I'm hedging with my bets
With other girls I'm not providing pearls
I'm free, free
Never understand

    i dont know how this guy feels about this girl....but he is a complete verbal genius when it comes to flattery. "when i look at you its like praying with my eyes" & "im not an angel but, girl, you make me feel like i know one"....any girl would melt having her guy say that to her. guys, take notes!!!

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but 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.
