Just A Gigolo

Louis Prima

I'm just a gigolo and ev'rywhere I go
People know the bar I'm playing
Pay for every dance
Selling each romance
Ooh, I could say

There would come a day
When news will pass away
What could they say about me
When the end comes I know
There were just the gigolos
Right cuz I'm without me

I'm just a gigolo everywhere I go
People know the butt it's playing
Pay for every dance
Selling each romance
Ooh, I could say

There would come a day
When news will pass away
What could they say about me
When the end comes I know
There were just the gigolos
Right cuz I'm without me

Cuz I ain't got nobody
Nobody cares for me,
Nobody, nobody cares for me
I'm so sad and lonely
Sad and lonely, sad and lonely
Won't some sweet mama come
And take a chance with me
Cuz I ain't so bad
Sad and lonesome all the time
Even on the beat, on the, on the beat
I ain't got nobody
Nobody cares for me,
Nobody, nobody

Really ain't got nobody,
Sad and lonesome
Baby need love

I, I, I, ain't got nobody
Nobody, nobody cares for me,
Nobody, nobody
I'm so sad and lonely, sad and lonely
Won't some sweet mama come
And take a chance with me
Cuz I ain't so bad
Really want that soul,
Little loving soul all the time
Even on the beat, cherry
Ccherry on the beat
Need a long tall darling, mama
Feeling sick
Got nobody, no, nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody,
No one, no one

Loopey loop, darling, darling
Getting serious, got to see the walls
Over there. nobody, got no one, nobody
Nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody cares for me

    those lyrics are terrible. here's a better version:

    Just a gigolo everywhere I go people know the part I'm playing

    Paid for every dance selling each romance every night some heart be traying

    There will come a day youth will pass away then what will they say about me

    When the end comes I know they'll say just a gigolo as life goes on without me

    'Cause I aint got nobody nobody nobody cares for me I'm so sad and lonely sad and lonely sad and lonely Won't some sweet mama come and take a chance with me cause I aint so bad

    Get along with me babe, been singin love songs All of the time Even only be, honey only, only be Bop bozadee bozadee bop zitty bop

    I ain't got nobody 'cept love songs in love Hummala bebhuhla zeebuhla boobuhla hummala bebhuhla zeebuhla bop

    I ain't got nobody, nobody, nobody cares for me Nobody , nobody I'm so sad and lonely, sad and lonely, sad and lonely, Won't some sweet mama come and take a chance with me cause I aint so bad

    Get along with me babe, been singin love songs All of the time Even only be, honey only, only be

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.

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.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
