To the world around he was the perfect person
Planning for an alibi he then starts rehearsing
A human bomb just waiting to explode
This secret rage can't be controlled

Slaughtered the dreams of others
On left to recover
Self-inflicted wounds
Life he has comsumed

Planning a killing spree
Victim of a conspiracy?

Getting bored with his current life
Rearranging with a knife

[Solos: Murphy, Shuldiner]

Greed before despair suspicion starts to grow
His life was spared for this he does not know
Screams filled the air there was no way to help
The ones he mourns he killed himself

Slaughtered the dreams of others
On left to recover
Self-inflicted wounds
Life he has comsumed

Planning a killing spree
Victim of a conspiracy?

    it's about a person with so much rage and murderous intentions inside (A human bomb just waiting to explode) that he snaps and goes on a killing spree with a knife that is... the lyric hints (Getting bored with his current life Rearranging with a knife)he realizes what he has done and the lives he has destroyed not just the victims but people who love them he mourns inside his head and commits suicide (The ones he mourns he killed himself)just my opinion once again COME ON PEOPLE! keep these death boards alive!

    I'm pretty much sure this song is about Jeffrey R. MacDonald - a doctor convicted in 1979 for the murders of his pregnant wife and two daughters in February 1970. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_R._MacDonald

    "A lot" is two words.

    I'll leave it up to everybody else to decide who the retard is.

    This song is about a beauty queen called Ella Fitzgerald who enters into a porridge-eating race. She is up against quite some competition from rivals such as Dan Barnsley, the famous swimmer, and Ronald Rafferty, brother of a folk singer. The whistle is blown and she begins to eat ferociously. She is wolfing down huge mouthfuls of the cereal. Then just as she approaches the end an odd thing happens. She tastes stawberry flavouring. She looks down and to her horror see that she has been given Quaker Oatso Simple Strawberry Flavoured porridge. In the time it takes her to realise this Carl Hanks, champion leg-user finishes his bowl all up and so he wins the contest.

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,

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/

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.
