How's it going, how you doing,
Are you feeling good tonight?
Do you mind if I ask questions
Do you think it'd be alright?

Did she tell you we went out once?
Did she say she loved me too?
Did she tell you that I laughed
when I found out she was with you?

Does she make you buy her jewelry?
Does she make you speak in tongues?
Does she tell you about her brother
who's got liquid in his lungs?

Does she buy you clothes for christmas?
Does she teach you to make sense?
Does she let you read her poems
'bout the art of self-defense?

Have you ever seen her cry
or heard her listen to my songs?
Does she ask you to apologize
when you've done nothing wrong?

Does she talk about me?
Does she talk about me?
Does she talk about me?
Does she talk about me?

    I think this song is pretty straightforward and doesn't need a microscope to figure out, it's about a guy having an imaginary conversation with his ex-girlfriends new boyfriend. There is some nuance here, however, wherein the original tone is one of scorn and ridicule as most of the song is about the speaker feeling "above" this guy, but then in the very end the speaker keeps repeating "does she talk about me" possibly because this new guy and/or the conversation the speaker imagines with him - is in actuality the only connection to the ex. You wonder if the speaker ended it for if she dumped him. I imagine the speaker screwed it up by not appreciating her, and she ended it. So he won't admit it, but he regrets losing her. It seems autobiographical because of the line "or heard her listen to my songs." Even though this song has a much slower tempo or at least heavier vibe than the song that preceded it on the album (Visiting the Zoo, a great track with a similar "Ex-girlfriend" vibe) and the two kickass songs after it, "Scenario" and "Anything Anything", I always dug it. Come to think about it, the "emotional damage from ex girlfriend" theme seems to run through many songs on this album. Great stuff though. Saw them live in 1990 and 1993, and again in 2003. Great group, thoughtful music and lyrics.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
