this next one goes out
to all the depressed women in the house
Whether you're taking the prozac the xanax or the paxil
Whatever the hell they put into that capsule
i want y'all to come up to the front of the stage
and grab me a shot of something along the way
put a smile on the front of your head

got a thing for the women that don't love themselves
so either loosen up your hair or tighten up your belt
and this time, this time is a good time
for good times

you know why she's sitting by the window
she's waiting for her prince to come
and here i am on the opposite side of the room
trying to pretend that i'm not that dumb
it goes older bold and full of cold
but did i mention that it's well deserved?
no let's make a mess,
no let's make a baby,
no let's make some hell on earth
do you mind if i turn out the lights?
if i'm going to be alone i'd rather do it in the dark
so i stare at half of a beer half wishing that the transmission would stay in park
she keeps the music down, so her neighbors don't complain
keeps the drama up
so she doesn't forget the pain
i keep my momentum inside my reaction
and hide my pride inside of my laughter
it goes...

got a thing for the women that don't love themselves
so either loosen up your hair or tighten up your belt
and this time, this time is a good time
for good times

and i'll never forget the day you woke up
to find a whole different world underneath your socks
forgot to check your pockets before you the checked the cost
yes ma'am, i saw the sign, no ma'am i couldn't stop
drop off, now look who got water on the lung
Whatever it takes to calm your tongue
if this living room fills with anymore faults
i'm going to cut my finger, i'm going to paint these walls
if anybody watched us
they probably called the cops, cause
it's obvious that neither one of us can adjust
Discussion becomes disgust
if luck was a lady I doubt she would save me from the bumrush
enough is enough, but how much is too much
Why am I still just a sheep to your touch
why can't i ever fall asleep at dusk?
why do i need to see everything crushed?
it's a big map girl, it's yours if you asked
if it don't wash up to the shore you won't discover it
stand to get hotter then your head with that other shit
swallow it to chase and follow the suffering
but i'm still smiling, still up to no great
still trying to relocate
somewhere i'm going to find some work that matters
till then all you get is my smirk and my laughter
it goes...

got a thing for the women that don't love themselves
so either loosen up your hair or tighten up your belt
and this time, this time is a good time

    Slug, being the gentleman that he is, is tired of depressed woman being sluts. They need to respect themselves and relax, but tighten up that belt. Great song, so true in so many ways. Atmosphere!

    I dont think you are right dude, i think he's just doing it as a callout to depressive people. If you have seen atmosphere live, slug talks about depression and the types of girls he loves.

    It's present in most of his work.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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/
