Atom Bomb

Fluke

Baby' got an atom bomb
A mother fuckin' atom bomb
Twenty two mega tonne
I ain't ever seen so much fun
Baby got a poison gas
Baby got a heart attack
Baby got a pain on tap
Baby gimme some of that
Baby got a satellite
Baby got second sight
Baby got a master plan
A foolproof master plan
Baby got purple hair
Baby got a secret lair
Baby got an army there
I ain't ever seen baby scared
Baby got a Nobel prize
Given for the perfect crime
Baby got an alibi
Baby got eight more lives
Baby got a crystal ball
Baby doesn't care at all
Baby's having too much fun
She's got a shit kickin' mother fuckin' atom bomb
Baby got a fleet at sea
And a submarine called emergency
She got a motorcade
She got a monorail
Going coat to coast on a campaign trail
Playing deck of cards in an armored car
She got a kung fu star as a body guard
She got a juju charm
She got a magic spell
She got a genie
All three is working well
She got a TV show
She got a shopping mall
She got a miracle
She doesn't want at all
She got a monument and at a great expense
She got a head of state and a president
She got destiny
She got supremacy
She got everything from a-z
She got it all down tight
She got nothing wrong
She got the whole wide world singing baby's song

    Get the impression its about a nation, perhaps (and most likely) USA. Some sentences goes way out there, but in general it all fits in.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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,

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
