Now Mandy, tell me, tell me something
About here, now where you are
Did you arrive on Halley's Comet?
Or fall off a shooting star?
Fun and games, till your days are over and
Mum and Dad and they're so proud
Would you go out with me on Friday
And why are you so scared of the big crowd?

Jimmy was always, always thinking
I'm here now where you are
Jimmy was always, always thinking
Of loving this shooting star
Jimmy was always, always thinking
I'm here now wasting time
And Jimmy was always, always thinking
Always thinking
Always thinking
Always thinking of where you are
Always thinking
Always thinking
Always thinking, of where you, are

Mandy I know you're four years older
But boy and gosh girl you're so fine
You've got me sitting here for hours
Writing this little ditty rhyme
One day I know we'll be together
And one day I'll be understood
And we willl fall in love forever
Well that's my plan, touching wood

Jimmy was always, always thinking
I'm here now where you are
Jimmy was always, always thinking
Of loving this shooting star
Jimmy was always, always thinking
I'm here now wasting time
And Jimmy was always, always thinking
Always thinking
Always thinking
Always thinking of where you are
Always thinking
Always thinking
Always thinking, of where you, are

    This is such a great summer song, antiskeptic are so poetic and Andrew has the perfect voice for them. This song basicly describes the story of a guy with a crush on this girl, but shes older than him...but it doesnt mean anything to him because he has such a crush on her. it almost sounds like a girl next door story.

    This song is all sweet n cute! i adore it! It's kinda sad really.... coz it's really obvious that the chik doesn't like this guy, either that or doesn't know he exsists... its got a bit of a stalker vibe about it. The whole "one day i'll be understood" thing ... stalker!!

Sunglasses at Night
Corey Hart
In the 1980s, sunglasses were a common fashion for people who wanted to adopt a "tough guy" persona (note all the cop shows from that era -- Simon & Simon, Miami Vice, etc. -- where the lead characters wore shades). So I think this song is about a guy who wears shades as a way of hiding his insecurity after learning that his girlfriend is cheating on him. He's trying to pretend that he's a "tough guy" to hide the fact that his girlfriend's affair is disturbing him.

Blank Space
Taylor Swift
This song is Swift's response to the negative reputation the media has given her. "I can make the bad guys good for a weekend" - the bad guys are the paparazzi to Swift, but are good to the "player" since association with Swift immediately gives publicity. Any publicity is good publicity and Swift knows this. "You can tell me when it's over" - the tabloids rumor relationships are over before the couple announces it officially. With this song Swift is portraying the way she is portrayed by the media. It is a sarcastic jab at how she views herself and how her "ex-lovers" only wanted to be with her to increase their fame. I applaud the brilliance in writing about how you always write about relationships. It is expected so Swift is giving the media what they want and profiting off the attention.

Mad Hatter
Avenged Sevenfold
Matt Shadows their lead singer says the song was written as per request from the developers of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Watching the initial trailers for the game & looking at production sketches reminded him of the 'S-Town' podcast & its main protagonist, John B. McLemore. Matt also comments specifically on the lyrics: "I decided that the lyrics would shadow McLemore's life." In 2012, antiquarian horologist John B. McLemore sent an email to the staff of the show 'This American Life' asking them to investigate an alleged murder in his hometown of Woodstock, Alabama, a place McLemore claimed to despise. After a year of exchanging emails & several months of conversation with McLemore, producer Brian Reed traveled to Woodstock to investigate. Reed investigated the crime & eventually found that no such murder took place, though he struck up a friendship with the depressed but colorful character of McLemore. He recorded conversations with McLemore & other people in Woodstock. McLemore killed himself by drinking potassium cyanide on June 22, 2015 while the podcast was still in production. In the narrative of the podcast, this occurs at the end of the second episode; subsequent episodes deal with the fallout from McLemore's death while exploring more of McLemore's life & character.
