She leads a lonely life
She leads a lonely life

When she woke up late in the morning light
And the day had just begun
She opened up her eyes and thought
"Oh, what a morning"
It's not a day for work
It's a day for catching tan
Just lying on the beach and having fun
She's going to get you

All that she wants is another baby
She's gone tomorrow, boy
All that she wants is another baby, yeah
All that she wants is another baby
She's gone tomorrow, boy
All that she wants is another baby, yeah

(All that she wants)
(All that she wants)

So if you are in sight and the day is right
She's the hunter, you're the fox
The gentle voice that talks to you
Won't talk forever
It is a night for passion
But the morning means goodbye
Beware of what is flashing in her eyes
She's going to get you

All that she wants is another baby
She's gone tomorrow, boy
All that she wants is another baby, yeah
All that she wants is another baby
She's gone tomorrow, boy
All that she wants is another baby, yeah (is another baby, yeah)

Ahh
Ahh

All that she wants is another baby (is another baby)
She's gone tomorrow, boy
All that she wants is another baby, yeah (is another baby, yeah)
All that she wants is another baby (is another baby)
She's gone tomorrow, boy
All that she wants is another baby, yeah (is another baby, yeah)

All that she wants
All that she wants

    i think this song is about a girl who just play with boys, she's lonely, and i think she's sad, and she wants to have a lot of guys in just one night stand, and leave them in love with her at the next morning, she has evil ways, but she's not bad, she's just depressed.

    Jeez, I can't believe how stupid I was - I always thought this was some bizarre song about a woman who wanted a _baby_ - literally. The colloquial use of 'baby' did not occur to me with regards to this song. Another lover. So I always just thought it was an extremely odd song about an extremely weird woman. HA!

    I LOVE this song! OMG the memories Ace of Base brings back, lmao. It's about a girl who's basically a vixen, and instead of working she likes to lounge around, get a tan, and treat herself like a queen. She's always on the lookout for guys, but she just wants some fun. She'll be with him for the night,ya know a one night stand, and then she's gone in the morning...ready for her next "baby"

    I used to think this was about a girl who was going on holiday to find a man for a one-night stand so she could get pregnant and not have to have the guy around. And that 'another' baby was because she had a miscarriage or something. Man, my mind is a dark and horrible place.

    i think this is about like a lady who is like missing something and she fills it with a guy. She wants to feel loved because she feels empty and the guy will make her feel loved for that one night of passion and than she'll leave and look for another baby to fill her soul.

    The girl in this song reminds me of the chicks I see every day on the Maury Show- Maury- "[Guy's name], you ARE the father!" ATSW Girl- "I told you dat's yo' baby! Pay me my child support! Where my money at?!?"

    My Interpretation
    This song is exactly what it sounds like to me. As Heliamphora once thought it meant, she literally wants another baby, and it's a strange song about a strange woman. It has a very literal meaning for me and I cannot hear this song any other way. I know a woman exactly like this. She has given birth 5 times, each baby has a different father. The first one was given up for adoption, the next two are under custody of the fathers, and the two after that don't even know who their fathers are. It's a cycle for her, every six months she hooks up with a guy until she gets pregnant, then she kicks the guy out so she can keep the baby. Six months after the baby is born, she's starting over with another guy. It's really sad. It's a sad song about a woman with a serious mental illness and the men who fall victim to her wiles because they just want to help an "abused" welfare mom.

    This song just came on the radio and reminded me about it. I miss these hearing it...it used to be on all the time...times change tho it seems. I don't think she wants a child, just a man, which it seems she'll be getting.

    Yep. She always wanted a man and that's what she ended up with although most of the band members aren't so lucky. I'm so excited about the new album though! :)

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.

Zombie
Cranberries, The
"Zombie" is about the ethno-political conflict in Ireland. This is obvious if you know anything of the singer (Dolores O'Riordan)'s Irish heritage and understood the "1916" Easter Rising reference. "Another head hangs lowly Child is slowly taken And the violence caused such silence Who are we mistaken - Another mother's breaking Heart is taking over" Laments the Warrington bomb attacks in which two children were fatally injured on March 23rd, 1993. Twelve year old Tim Parry was taken off life support with permission from his mother after five days in the hospital, virtually braindead. "But you see it's not me It's not my family" References how people who are not directly involved with the violence feel about it. They are "zombies" without sympathy who refuse to take action while others suffer.

The Last Dance
Within Temptation
@Kahiara Actually I think the husband passed away, "She sang for you last night She heard you were calling" Many people say they have felt, heard, or seen their loved ones after they have passed. "Don't be scared now Close your eyes She holds guard tonight Go on forward no remorse Life will take it's course" This is said to the late husband by a third part (never named), who encourages him to pass on. Because life will eventually continue. The phrase "holds guard" refers to the ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… ) which is a Christian ceremony held after someone dies. Now it is usually held right after the funeral, but in most celtiic countries the wake is held before the funeral. "She danced with you last night so you will remember All you have shared, a lifetime." This sentence feels as if the only thing it wants to convey is their history together, namely, husband and wife. For the rest it just refers back to the first verse.

Mad Hatter
Avenged Sevenfold
Matt Shadows their lead singer says the song was written as per request from the developers of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Watching the initial trailers for the game & looking at production sketches reminded him of the 'S-Town' podcast & its main protagonist, John B. McLemore. Matt also comments specifically on the lyrics: "I decided that the lyrics would shadow McLemore's life." In 2012, antiquarian horologist John B. McLemore sent an email to the staff of the show 'This American Life' asking them to investigate an alleged murder in his hometown of Woodstock, Alabama, a place McLemore claimed to despise. After a year of exchanging emails & several months of conversation with McLemore, producer Brian Reed traveled to Woodstock to investigate. Reed investigated the crime & eventually found that no such murder took place, though he struck up a friendship with the depressed but colorful character of McLemore. He recorded conversations with McLemore & other people in Woodstock. McLemore killed himself by drinking potassium cyanide on June 22, 2015 while the podcast was still in production. In the narrative of the podcast, this occurs at the end of the second episode; subsequent episodes deal with the fallout from McLemore's death while exploring more of McLemore's life & character.
