Jane says
I'm done with Sergio
He treats me like a ragdoll
She hides
The television
Says "I don't owe him nothing,
But if he comes back again
Tell him to wait right here for me
Or, try again tomorrow"
"I'm gonna kick tomorrow..."
"I'm gonna kick tomorrow..."

Jane says
Have you seen my wig around?
I feel naked without it"
She knows
They all want her to go
But that's okay man
She don't like them anyway
Jane says "I'm going away to Spain
When I get my money saved
I'm gonna start tomorrow"

"I'm gonna kick tomorrow..."
"I'm gonna kick tomorrow..."

She gets mad
And she starts to cry
Takes a swing but
She can't hit!
She don't mean no harm
She just don't know... what else to do about it

Jane goes
To the store at eight
She walks up on Saint Andrews
She waits
And gets her dinner there
She pulls her dinner
From her pocket

Jane says I've never been in love - no
She don't know what it is
She only knows if someone wants her

"I only want 'em if they want me,..."
"I only know they want me..."

Jane says...
Jane says...

    I believe this song can be taken a lot more literally than some do interpret it. "I'm gonna' kick tomorrow..." is just Jane (and Jane is a real person) trying to convince herself that she'll kick her heroin addiction. It's always supposed to start tomorrow, but it never does. Because as much as Jane wants to rid herself of her addiction, things are never that simple. Oh, and by the way, Jane is still alive. Drug-free. :) According to Casey Niccoli, Jane's good friend.

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.

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”

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,

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
