Its two A.M. I'm just gettin' in about to check my message,
No one has called but my homies and some bill collectors.
Cellular brings somebody wants to borrow money
I two-way her she don't hit me back something is funny.
So I called her mother's house and asked has she seen my baby.
Roll my six around lookin' for that missing lady.
Got back in turned the TV on and caught the news
Then I put my hand on my head cause I'm so confused.
And then I turned the TV down
Cause I thought I heard a squicky sound,
Somethings going on upstairs
And I know nobody else lives here
"bump bump bump" as I get closer to the stairways all I hear
Then I hear my babies voice in my ear screamin out

Your contagious, touch me baby give me what you got
(and I heard an other man said) sexy lady drive me crazy, drive me wild
(And I just can't believe this shit)

I ran downstairs looked in the closet lookin' for that ooo,
Said a prayer cause only God knows what I'm gonna do
What I saw was enough to drive a Preacher wild
I'm in the hall contemplatin' "not in my own damn house".
Who would have thought she was creepin' wit another man?
The down low happenin' to me all over again
And then I turned the TV down
Cause I know I heard a squicky sound,
Something going on upstairs cause I know no one else lives here
"bump bump bump" as I get closer to the stairways all I hear,
Then I hear my babies voice in my ear screamin'

Your contagious, touch me baby give me what you got
(and I heard an other man said) sexy lady drive me crazy, drive me wild
(And I just can't believe this shit)

What the hell is goin' on between the sheets in my home?
Baby wait let me explain before you start to point your cain.
Girl I'm bout to have a fit
"oh its bout to be some shit!"
How did I get in to this? Should have never came home with this bitch!
Low down dirty woman, back to where you come from
"but baby wait" but wait my ass
Hit the streets your ass is grass!
Now Mista Biggs before you done
"Wait how you know my name son?"
"Honey wait I was gonna tell ya"
" Move this cat looks real familiar"
Hmmm?!?! Now don't I know you from somewhere a long time ago?
No no I don't think so.
Yea yea, I feel I know you brother very well.
No No you mistaken me for somebody else.
"Frank" "SHUT UP!" Can't you see two men are talkin'?
"But" Thought I told yo ass to get to walkin'!
Now I think ya'll better leave this place,
Cause I'm about to catch a case.

Your contagious, touch me baby give me what you got
(and I heard an other man said) sexy lady drive me crazy, drive me wild
(And I just can't believe this shit)

Your contagious, touch me baby give me what you got
Your contagious, touch me baby give me what you got
Your contagious, touch me baby give me what you got
Your contagious, touch me baby give me what you got

    I like this song. I heard it first when I was in sixth grade I think... back then I considered this controversial. Now I just think it's a good song, the vocals are nicely done.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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 think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.
