Step up to me, Step up to me
You wanna be a big time player
it's not to be
Look at all the snide ass
actin like a wise ass
I'll fuck up your face
and you'll never look back

So when you fall to the ground
And finally get back to reality
And no one else is around
So tell me how does it feel to be the enemy?

Step up to me, Step up to me (PEZ!)(x2)
Step up to me, Step up to me
You wanna be a big time player
it’s not to be

Look at your face
look at your name
It's funny you’re a loser
with only yourself to blame
Cut your fucking hair now
scared of all the stare downs
You wanna be like me cause it's real
So you steal on your way to fame
Never gonna be
never gonna see
Your name in lights
you can always dream what ‘cha could've been
Clean up my shit
you look like a dick
Step to unemployment - step

So when you fall to the ground
And finally get back to reality
And no one else is around
So tell me how does it feel to be the enemy? (x2)

Step! Step up to me – step up
You’re the enemy! (x2)

So when you fall to the ground
And finally get back to reality
And no one else is around
So tell me how does it feel to be the enemy? (x2)

You're the enemy!
Step up to me, Step up to me (PEZ!)(x2)
Step up to me, Step up to me
You wanna be a big time player
it’s not to be!

    The song is brutal, but brilliantly written.

    When you read up on the underlying story and what was said between the parties, Morgan has written a direct challenge to "Man Up" about Dez being an areshole.

    As I said, it's a brilliantly written attack in my opinion.

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.

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/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
