1-2-3... go!

Well all my life it's been the same
Me, I cannot afford your fear of pain
My frustration it needs release,
Cut me open and hear me breath
Playing punk keeps me sane
Don't need drugs to numb the pain
It keeps me alive
I hope it helps you
Do you think I want to let America ruin me?
No way!

I'm screaming out, somebody listen,
It feels so good to share my pain
I'm screaming out, somebody listen,
It feels so good to share my pain

Well I lost control and hurt myself
I knew deep down that I needed some help
This self abuse, it would not stop,
No matter how hard I tried
So I ran away from here
And I pulled myself together
Am I going insane? think again
I got so fed up with being unstable
No more!

I'm screaming out, somebody listen,
It feels so good to share my pain
It feels so good to share my pain
It feels so good to share my pain
It feels so good to share my pain

I'm screaming out, somebody listen,
It feels so good to share my pain
It feels so good to share my pain
It feels so good to share my pain
It feels so good to share my pain

I'm screaming out!
I'm screaming out!
I'm screaming out!
I'm screaming out!
I'm screaming out!
I'm screaming out!
I'm screaming out!
That I needed some help!

    Yeah loads of people can relate to this song, it's amazing and yes..probably one of the best on the album. WouldItBeYou, lyrics don't have to be subtle to have meaning to them...the meaning to this song is like poke a dot said...'screaming out is how some people get free. after bottling up everything inside, it's their release' so Mark is just saying everything as it is...'I'm screaming out somebody listen' basically. No subtley needed, but still stands as a fucking brilliant song.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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/
