Social weapons that miss
pretend them to save
cowards, bastards to shame
condemned social slaves
here to save the freaks again you think
and i bet you always will
here to save the freaks
again you think
here, here to save the freaks
snakes causing the fate
sadistic and free
traders, defendants behave
lieges stay away from me
saints keep knocking, go home don't sell me mary,
no, no making the crazies well inside you think and i bet you always will

chorus:
calling us no good you are the social enemies
we change the people day to day
making us no good you are the social enemies
changing the people day to day

agitators talking the show
messing with heads to be the number one
smashers battling the hills
proud of yourselves aren't you
making the crazies well inside you think and i bet you always will

chorus

why must we play so bitterly
i'm suffering now the nowhere me
stop trying to say you fell into this place
so tragic you found the nowhere me
here to save the freaks
again you think
here, here to save the freaks

    I think it's about the people trying to "fix" something that isn't broken. Many people are naturally afraid of the unknown, so they think "hey, let's find out what's wrong with these "freaks" and try to help them become more like us." When it's not necessary, because the "freaks" are already comfortable with who they are. Actually this has been going on for ages, if you think about it- one example is the European conquest of American Indians- "Oh, these people are so heathen, let's convert them to our own ways and beliefs!" >.> Or more recently, the idea of "converting LGBT people to straight," almost as if it's some sort of "disease" that they want to eradicate.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
