(1/2 Chorus)
I've gotta drinkin' problem man one mouth and two hands
And an empty can I ain't got no lucci lucci

(Verse 1)
I'm feelin' that funny feelin' again within walkin' me to the kitchen
For that early morning gin drink it in
Till my thoughts they become clear
Dress my naked air and head the fuck up outta here
Fightin' traffic the hot sun be causin' havoc
Ass stuck to the seat window cracked can't see passed it
The liquor store I just passed it lookin' back
I gotta turn around I can't stop thinkin' exactly that
you-turn the past I leave behind
For the ill bumpin' two busted six by nines
And I feel this day to be a good one of plenty
Even if I'm thirsty and my pockets are empty

(Chorus)
I've gotta drinkin' problem man one mouth and two hands
And an empty can I ain't got no lucci lucci
And y'all don't understand I'm just a simple man
Doin' the best I can without no lucci

(Verse 2)
Come from a long line of alcoholics
Livin' from toilet to toilet you call it
I'm callin' hotlines swervin' all over yellow lines
Drinkin' moonshine damn was that a stop sign
I ain't doin' good but I'll be fine
Danno where's that cheap wine
Drunk since 9 guzzlin' boone's farm
Trying to stop my shakin' arm
I'm here to stumble the earth and forewarn
7 weeks since I had had shower
I black out like you pulled the plug on Georgia Power
Southern discomfort baby
Seein' pink elephants on down the freeway
The proof on the bottle 180 runnin' out of lucciy
And I won't survive if you don't let me borrow another five
I'm a do it anyway if I'm alive

(Chorus)
I've gotta drinkin' problem man one mouth and two hands
And an empty can I ain't got no lucci lucci
And y'all don't understand I'm just a simple man
Doin' the best I can without no lucci

(Verse 3)
Spent my last money on a pabst blue
Ribbon I be gulpin never sippin
'cause I have to
Booted out the crib and that's cool
Lone as I have brew
Face flush stare at a lush
I might bust you in the gums
I gotta problemo
my life's too up tempo
But yo I'm just simple man
whose mind is crippled man
it all started at a partyand
I was only 15 now I can kill a fifth of Bacardi and
I drink and pass out wake up assed out and start again
I been to AA but hey hey gimme the bottle
12 steppers actin like they never took a swallow

(Chorus til fade)
I've gotta drinkin' problem man one mouth and two hands
And an empty can I ain't got no lucci lucci
And y'all don't understand I'm just a simple man
Doin' the best I can without no lucci

    This is a great song, although it has no secret meaning, and is not usually inspiring. My sister and I listened to this CD on the way to Music Midtown 2001 down in Atlanta. It was definitely inspiring that day.

    i heard that these guys met in rehab, and thats why they call themselves this, and also why they sing about drugs and alcohol

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.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.

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,

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
