Mr. Tinkertrain

Ozzy Osbourne

Would you like some sweeties little girl?
Come a little closer
I'm gonna show you a brand new world tonight
I've got a palace full of fantasy
Ready made just for you and me
Once you're there I'm gonna take you for a ride

I've got a one way ticket
To take you to the other side
I've got a one way ticket
So come along and don't be shy

They call Mister Tinkertrain
That's how I got to get my name
They call me Mister Tinkertrain
So come along and play my game
You'll never be the same

Close the curtains and turn out the lights
Beneath my wing it's gonna be alright
A little secret just for you and me, oh baby
I've got the kind of toys you've never seen
Manmade and a bit obscene
Little angel come and sit upon my knee

I've got a one way ticket
To take you to the other side
I've got a one way ticket
So come along and don't be shy

They call Mister Tinkertrain
That's how I got to get my name
They call me Mister Tinkertrain
So come along and play my game

Mister Tinkertrain
Never be the same
Mister Tinkertrain
Can you say Mister Tinkertrain? Hahaha

No use crying 'cause you can't go back
Now you're here to stay
You can't run, you can't hide
You can't tell me what I feel inside

Mister Tinkertrain
That's how I got to get my name
They call me Mister Tinkertrain
So come along and play my game

(That's why they call me) Mister Tinkertrain
(That's why they call me) Mister Tinkertrain
(That's why they call me) Mister Tinkertrain
(That's why they call me) Mister Tinkertrain

(That's why they call me) Mister Tinkertrain
(That's why they call me) Mister Tinkertrain
(That's why they call me) Mister Tinkertrain
(That's why they call me) Mister Tinkertrain

(That's why they call me) Mister Tinkertrain
(That's why they call me) Mister Tinkertrain
(That's why they call me) Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mister Train
(That's why they call me) Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mister Train
(That's why they-)

    This song is about the dangers of child molestation in our society, so don't think Ozzy as some whore (OzzyGurly). These are just some of the songs that are accused of satanism or anything wrong in this world.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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,

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.
