This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Gold Coast slave ship bound for cotton fields
Sold in the market down in New Orleans
Skydog slaver knows he's doin' all right
Hear him whip the women just around midnight
Brown sugar, how come you taste so good?
Brown sugar, just like a young girl should
Drums beatin' cold, English blood runs hot
Lady of the house wonderin' when it's gonna stop
House boy knows that he's doin' all right
You should have heard him just around midnight
Brown sugar, how come you taste so good, now?
Brown sugar, just like a young girl should (yeah)
Brown sugar, how come you dance so good, babe?
Brown sugar, just like a black girl should, yeah
And I bet your mama was a tent show queen
And all her boyfriends were sweet sixteen
I'm no school boy but I know what I like
You should have heard them just around midnight
Brown sugar, how come you taste so good, baby?
Brown sugar, just like a young girl should, yeah
I said, yeah, yeah, yeah, woo
How come you, how come you dance so good?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, woo
Just like a, just like a black girl should
Yeah, yeah, yeah, woo
Sold in the market down in New Orleans
Skydog slaver knows he's doin' all right
Hear him whip the women just around midnight
Brown sugar, how come you taste so good?
Brown sugar, just like a young girl should
Drums beatin' cold, English blood runs hot
Lady of the house wonderin' when it's gonna stop
House boy knows that he's doin' all right
You should have heard him just around midnight
Brown sugar, how come you taste so good, now?
Brown sugar, just like a young girl should (yeah)
Brown sugar, how come you dance so good, babe?
Brown sugar, just like a black girl should, yeah
And I bet your mama was a tent show queen
And all her boyfriends were sweet sixteen
I'm no school boy but I know what I like
You should have heard them just around midnight
Brown sugar, how come you taste so good, baby?
Brown sugar, just like a young girl should, yeah
I said, yeah, yeah, yeah, woo
How come you, how come you dance so good?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, woo
Just like a, just like a black girl should
Yeah, yeah, yeah, woo

Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Seriously? Heroin? Oral sex? The song is about sblack girls. If it's about heroin, what's up with the constant references to African slavery? You could stretch it and say that drug addiction is slavery. But what's the 'house boy' reference? What's with the 'cotton fields'?
You can dig a mile deep into the song and grasp some outlandish answer if it pleases you to think yourself a musical intepreter, but the meaning of the song is pretty evident. Mick Jagger isn't an extremely deep guy - he's a musical legend and a great frontman, but he's far from a philosopher.
All that aside, I fucking love this song. It's got a kickin' beat, great guitar pieces, a saxophone solo (wtf?) and awesome lyrics about one of the greatest things in the world: black girls. (I love me some brown sugar!)
You don't think "How come you taste so good" could be sconstrued as an oral sex reference? Also a lot of blues music have saxophone solos, it's not unusual.<br />
