Kapitalet höjer hyrorna
Och staten bostadsbidragen
Så kan man fiffla en smula
Med den järnhårda lönelagen
Och till och med betala mindre i lön
Än priset för mat och för hyra
För staten skjuter så gärna till
Om levnadsomkostnaderna blivit
Allt för dyra

Sida vid sida tillsammans hjälps dom åt
Staten och kapitalet dom sitter i samma båt
Fast det är inte dom som ror som ror så svetten lackar
Och piskan som kittlar kittlar inte heller
Deras feta nackar

Skolans uppgift är som sig bör
Att skola arbetskraften
Om kvastarna skall sopa bra
Får man inte slarva med skaften
Spärrar och kvoter och testprogram
Är ett system för att sålla
Agnarna från vetet och för var o en
Till hans rätta fålla

Sida vid sida tillsammans stryker de fram
Staten och kapitalet två vargar fromma som lamm
Fast det är inte dom som ror som ror så att svetten lackar
Och piskan som kittlar kittlar inte heller
Deras feta nackar

Sida vid sida tillsammans hjälps dom åt
Staten och kapitalet dom sitter i samma båt
Fast det är inte dom som ror som ror så svetten lackar
Och piskan som kittlar kittlar inte heller
Deras feta nackar

Tempot höjs vid maskinerna
Här drillar man eliten
Produktionen har inte plats för den
Som blivit illa sliten
Men för att ingen skall tro att det är något fel
Med de tunga ackorden
Betraktas han som ett sjukdomsfall och behandlas
Av den barmhartiga arbetsvården

Sida vid sida tillsammans stryker de fram
Staten och kapitalet två vargar fromma som lamm
Men det är inte dom som ror som ror så att svetten lackar
Och piskan som kittlar kittlar inte heller
Deras feta nackar

Sida vid sida

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
