You're always trying to figure out
What I am all about
If you don't know what the answer is
Then just shut up and kiss

It shouldn't take forever
To put it all together

If you can't do the math
Then get out of the equation
I am calling you back
This is star 69
Is it a minus or a plus?
Does enough equal enough?
If you can't do the math
Then nothing adds up
Tell me why I'm here

Sure, I want someone to understand
But I don't need the stress
I'm not about being analyzed
Like it's some kind of test

Don't have to be a genius
To figure what's between us

If you can't do the math
Then get out of the equation
I am calling you back
This is star 69
Is it a minus or a plus?
Does enough equal enough?
If you can't do the math
Then nothing adds up
Tell me why I'm here

You can spend your whole life analyzing
Justifying, quantifying, and dividing
'Til there's nothin' anymore
Why don't you just close you eyes
And kiss my lips and let it go
Just let it flow
It's what I'm waiting for

Don't have to be a genius
To figure what's between us

If you can't do the math
Then get out of the equation
I am calling you back
This is star 69
Is it a minus or a plus?
Does enough equal enough?
If you can't do the math
Then nothing adds up
Tell me why I'm here

If you can't do the math
Then get out of the equation
I am calling you back
This is star 69
Is it a minus or a plus?
Does enough equal enough?
If you can't do the math
Then nothing adds up
Tell me why I'm here

    Hilary Duff is obsessed with singing songs about being with boys, breaking up with boys, trying to make boys fall in love with her, or trying to make boys fall out of love with her. She needs to find another hobby besides boys. Her voice can be put to better use than singing about boys.

    This girl is annoying. How do people stand her? Seriously all she DOES sing about is boys. It won't be a surpise when in a few years she becomes a Britney Spears clone.

    lol not so perfect! thats pretty good! I do think this song is a little odd. Whats with the *69 part. It doesnt even fit into the song. Anywy...I know you might hate Britney, but think about how different the music industry would be without her!!!

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,

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.
