You've done too much
Much too young
Now you're married with a kid
When you could be having fun with me

(Oh no, no give me no more pickni)

You've done too much
Much too young
Now you're married with a son
When you should be having fun with me

We don't want, we don't want we don't want no more pickni

Ain't he cute?
No he ain't
He's just another burden on the welfare state

You've done too much
Much too young
Now you're married with a kid
When you could be having fun with me

No gimme, no gimme, no gimme no more pickni

Call me immature, call me a poser
I'd love to spread manure in your bed of roses
Don't want to be rich, don't want to be famous
But I'd really hate to have the same name as you

You've done too much
Much too young
Now you're married with a kid
When you could be having fun with me

(Gi we de birth control, we no want no pickni)

You've done too much
Much too young
Now you're chained to the cooker
Making currant buns for tea

(Oh no, no gimme no more pickni)

Ain't you heard of the starving millions
Ain't you heard of contraception
Do you really a program of sterilization
State control of the population boom
It's in your living room
Keep a generation gap
Try wearing a cap

You've done too much
Much too young
Now you're married with a kid
When you could be having fun with me

(Oh no, no gimme no more pickni)

You've done too much
Much too young
Now you stay in every night watching programs on TV

(We don't want, we don't want, we don't want no more pickni)

You've done too much
Much too young
Now you're married with a son
When you could be having fun with me

(No gimme, no gimme, no gimme, no more pickni)

You've done too much
Much too young
Now you're chained to the cooker
Making currant buns for tea

(Gi we de birth control, we no want no pickni)

You've done too much
Much too young
Now you're married to a man
When you could be having fun with me

(Oh, no, no gimme no more pickni)

You've done too much
Much too young
Now you're chained to the cooker
Making beans on toast for tea

You've done too much
Much too young
Now you're married with a kid
When you could be having fun with me

(Oh, no, no gimme no more pickni)

You've done too much
Much too young
Now you stay in every night watching programs on TV

You've done too much
Much too young
Now you're married to a man
When you could be having fun with me

(We don't want, we don't want, we don't want no more pickni)

You've done too much
Much too young
Now you're chained to the cooker
Making cheese on toast for tea

(No gimme, no gimme, no gimme, no more pickni)

You've done too much
Much too young
Now you're married with a kid
When you could be having fun with me

You've done too much
Much too young
Now you stay in every night watching programs on TV

(Oh, no, no gimme no more pickni)

You've done too much
Much too young
Now you're married with a son
When you could be having fun with me

(Oh, no, no gimme no more pickni)

    cap - a dutch cap. The song is about teenage pregnancy, but it's pretty misogynistic very much blaming the woman for having allowed herself to get pregnant and portraying her as stupid and unambitious.

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.
Album art
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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
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.

Page
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.
