Put up your hands girl but not so, so pushy
If you wanna be comn' and makn' sweet love to me
And if your the type of girl that do anything me please
Maybe then I realize you ain't got what I need
To keep my soul alright
It keeps me up high above
Yes me got the reason to come question your love
It keeps my soul alright
It keeps me up high above
Want me girlie to come give me some sweet lovn'
And in the morning time she makes me feel alright
Then me gotta be waitn' till the day turns to night
Cause in the evening time she makes me feel alright
Girl you got me wishin' this would happen every night

Miles and sister
Said if you want to get with me
Girl this is what you'll find
But a man who's got the type of moves to make you lose your mind
You tell me that your love is true on each and every day
You tell me that you've got that type of lovn' here to stay
Sweet honey

You see me laughin'
Cause it's kinda funny to me
The way she say she never give her lovn' for free
She say she got a man why she lookn' at me
Yes she want a lover with the sensativity ya

But won't you tell me that your loves from the heart
Yes the type of lovn' that can tear a man apart
Girl you got to realize before it ever starts
Yes I am the man who won't come breakn' your heart

Said if you want to get with me
Girl this is what you'll find
But a man who's got the type of moves to make you lose your mind
You tell me that your love is true on each and every day
You tell me that you've got that type of lovn' here to stay
Sweet honey
She gonna steal my money
Sweet honey
She gonna steal my lovn'
Yes you try to tell me that you're sent from above
Girl you give me reason to come question your love
Sweet honey
She gonna steal my money
Sweet honey
She gonna steal my lovn'
Yes you try to tell me that your sent from above
Girl you give me reason to come question your love
Sweet honey

Said if you want to get with me
Girl this is what you'll find
But a man who's got the type of moves to make you lose your mind
You tell me that your love is true on each and every day
You tell me that you've got that type of lovn' here to stay
Sweet honey
She gonna steal my money
Sweet honey
She gonna steal my lovn'
Yes you try to tell me that you're sent from above
Girl you give me reason to come question your love
Sweet honey
She gonna steal my money
Sweet honey
She gonna steal my lovn'
Yes you try to tell me that you're sent from above
Girl you give me reason to come question your love
Sweet honey
She gonna steal my money
Sweet honey
She gonna steal my lovn'
Yes you try to tell me that you're sent from above
Girl you give me reason to come question your love
Sweet honey
She gonna steal my money
Sweet honey
She gonna steal my lovn'
Yes you try to tell me that you're sent from above
Girl you give me reason to come question your love
Sweet honey

Said little women with your pretty red dress on
The type of women make you never forget
Said little women with your pretty red dress on
The type of women make you never forget

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.

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.
