Hold my finger
Fly what you never know
I will not bring you down I swear
Don't wanna fuck right now I'm chillin with ya
Just wanna lie here and make love spiritually
All alone with you
Your eyes I'm lookin through
When I wake up I promise I'll be


With you girl
Then I'll give you all of my attention
Damn right then I'll have my morning erection
I'll give you some lovin

Sometimes I like to do whatever you're into
Feeling this perfect moment
I'm so gone now that
I can't feel life

I'm so ashamed at myself to do this to you
It's all I'm good for now, chick please forgive me
And it ain't my stoner lovin finger hold
Goodbye to the negative vibes
Can we not just chill go to sleep with my arms around you
But then you scream and you're right I should be there for you
So now I try, check my pulse to make sure I'm alive
Sorry chick I can't get in


That mood now
Listen chick I can hardly function
My mind says chill and I don't need that affection
Sorry but I don't want to

Arrrrrgggghhhh


As I walk Woke up too late again
I think too hard
Cannot grip
Just what went wrong
So I light up

And I'll float away again
Start to lose this trap she kept me in
As I fly I try to knock out all of these negative vibes
I'm so bored
as I float by
What is my destiny am I somewhere that I shouldn't be
I feel alone
But when I'm with you it's alright
But when I'm without you I'm so

And I feel so high
Feel close to you
You wont ever fly
But you want puppy lovin and 5 orgasms 'til the night is through
But it wont happen

Cos I don't like this way
Am I not as you imagine me
What you get is, what you see

OK it's up now we fuck I'll go put on a jonny
Open the pack then it's back flopping before me
Mind starts to hurt, you scream and talk to me like dirt
I wish you could know exactly


What I mean
I'm so fucked right now I'd not last anyway
You'd think I suck and never see me again
Just chill out chick, chill out see what I see

    Mikee W Goodman (the dreadlocked vocalist in SikTh) said this song is about having your girl hold your finger, and you get the same feeling you get when you're hugged. Just about wanting to feel good inside rather than having a full on sex session.

    Excellent song and brilliant lyrics. By my understanding, it's about when a girl wants to have sex sometimes but her guy is either too stoned or chilled out so it's too much effort for him. So he would rather just lie there and have a cuddle instead. I know what they mean!

    When SikTh played this live on their recent headline tour, everybody went crazy as soon as that amazing guitar work started off. Love it all, SikTh rule...

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,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
