There's nothing more refreshing (that cool refreshing drink)
Than a cool, crisp, clean glass of water
On a warm summer's day (that cool refreshing drink)
Try it with your friends

New World Water make the tide rise high
Come inland and make your house go, "Bye" (my house)
Fools done upset the Old Man River
Made him carry slave ships and fed him dead nigga
Now his belly full and he about to flood something
So I'm throwin' rope that ain't tied to nothing
Tell your crew use the H2 in wise amounts since
It's the New World Water and every drop counts
You can laugh and take it as a joke if you wanna
But it don't rain all full week some summers
And it's about to get real wild in the half
You be buying Evian just to take a fucking bath
Heads is acting wild, sipping poor, puffin' dank (uh)
Competing with the next man for higher playing rank (right)
See I ain't got time try to be Big Hank
Fuck a bank, I need a twenty year water tank
'Cause while these knuckleheads is out here sweating they goods
The sun is sitting in the treetops burning the woods
And as the flames from the blaze get higher and higher
They say, "Don't drink the water, we need it for the fire"

New York is drinking it (New World Water)
Now all of California is drinking it (New World Water)
Way up north and down south is drinking it (New World Water)
Used to have minerals and zinc in it (New World Water)
Now they say it got lead and stink in it (New World Water)
Fluorocarbons and monoxide
Push the water table lopside
Used to be free now it cost you a fee
'Cause oil tankers spill they load as they roam cross the sea

Man, you gotta cook with it, bathe and clean with it (that's right)
When it's hot, summertime you fiend for it (let 'em know)
You gotta put it in the iron you steaming with (that's right)
It's what they dress wounds and treat diseases with (shout it out)
The rich and poor, black and white got need for it (that's right)
And everybody in the world can agree with this (let 'em know)
Consumption promotes health and easiness (that's right)
Go too long without it on this earth and you leaving it (shout it out)
Americans wasting it on some leisure shit (say word?)
Another nations be desperately seeking it (let 'em know)
Bacteria washing up on they beaches (say word?)
Don't drink the water, son, they can't wash they feet with it (let 'em know)
Young babies in perpetual neediness (say word?)
Epidemics hopping up off the petri dish (let 'em know)
Control centers try to play all secretive (say word?)
To avoid public panic and freakiness (let 'em know)
There are places where TB is common as TV
'Cause foreign-based companies go and get greedy
The type of cats who pollute the whole shoreline
Have it purified, sell it for a dollar twenty-five

Now the world is drinking it (New World Water)
Your moms, wife, and baby girl is drinking it (New World)
Up north and down south is drinking it (New World Water)
You should just have to go to your sink for it (New World Water)
The cash registers is going "cha-chink" for it (New World Water)
Fluorocarbons and monoxide
Got the fish looking cockeyed
Used to be free now it cost you a fee
'Cause it's all about getting that cash (money)

Said, it's all about getting that cash (money)
Said, it's all about getting that cash (money)
Said, it's all about getting that cash (money)
Said, it's all about getting your cash (money)
Said, it's all about getting that cash (money)
Said, it's all about getting that cash (money)
Said, it's all about getting that cash (money)
Yeah, it's all about getting that cash (money)
Said, it's all about getting that cash (money)

Johny Cash (money)
Roseanne Cash (money)
Give me cash (money)
Get cash (money)

Cash rules everything around me
Move

    I think srvhendrix is missing the point. New world water is a takeover from the regular style of water we have (or had) now. New World Water is when corporations come into a foreign country and force the country to privitize the water supply, making even rain water illegal (as they've done in countries in South America before rebellion forced them to give it back to the public). It is also talking about how the pollution has made it so that every public source of drinking water except the shit supplied to you by corporations is virtually undrinkable. They pollute your water, then sell it back to you. I think the pivotal lines in this song are, "There are places where TB is common as TV / Cause foreign-based companies go and get greedy / The type of cats who pollute the whole shore line / Have it purified, sell it for a dollar twenty-five"

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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

Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

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.
