Break it down (Oh)
I don't want nobody else to hear the sounds
This love is a private affair
Interrupt the flow, they better not dare
We gotta break it on down

In the daytime, ha, I think not!
I'd rather do you after school like some homework
Am I gettin' you hot? (Hot)
In my bedroom (No!) cause then we'd have to stop (Please don't stop)

I'd rather wait 'til everyone's fast asleep
Then do it in the kitchen on the table top, oh!
We gotta break it on down (down, down, down)
Can you hear me girl?

Break it down
I don't want nobody else to hear the sounds
This love is a private affair
Interrupt the flow, they better not dare
(oh yeah) we gotta break it on down
Can you hear me, babe?
Huh, we got to break it on down

Candle light, no (no), I don't think so!
The crackle of the flame will just spoil my flow
Besides, I can be your fire baby, yeah
Drippin' all over you like a ball of wax, relax and let go!

Break it down
I don't want nobody else to hear the sounds
This love is a private affair
Interrupt the flow (They better not dare)
Yeah, we gotta break it on down (down, down, down)
Can we groove tonight?
Oh yeah, we gotta break it on down (down, down, down)
Oh

Yeah
That's it, baby

Ah, you say you want to slow jam? (Yes)
Then listen up girl, yeah
I want to whisper music in your ear
That'll rock your, rock your, rock your world, oh
What's my name, baby? (I love you) Yeah
2night I'll teach you baby, teach you baby, teach you baby
To scream it and scream it and scream it and scream it! Ow!

Break it down
I don't want nobody else to hear the sounds
This love (This love is a private affair)
Just me and you, baby (Interrupt the flow, they better not dare)
Ooh, yeah yeah yeah (We gotta break it on down, down, down)
Are you listening, baby?
Ah hear me baby, hear me baby
(We gotta break it on down, down, down)

You makin' me want to, oh!
Uh (Uh)
There it is
Uh (Uh)
Oh yeah
All night long
Are you diggin' this, baby? (Oh)
Break it down, break it down

(break it down) [Repeat: x3]
Down, down, down, down [Repeat: x4]

Sex is not all I think about
It's just all I think about you

Oh yeah
Sex is not all I think about
It's just all I think about you

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.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Dreamwalker
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.

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."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
