Please pass over your elixir drink,
Today the world is much to bludgening.
I need to numb me back into the womb
And there I will do cartwheels if there's room.

If you could turn it all down just a notch.
I wouldn't have to knock all of your socks off.
And oh, I heard that spice girl thats named 'Posh'.
I've got some time since I've broke my watch.

I'm clearly having one of my episodes.
Bring out the credit card let's by a friend a rose.
Does anyone know exactly just how that theme song goes?
There aren't as many Larry, Curly, Shemps as there are Moes.

The newstand man asked why I look so glum,
I gave him a finger not the thumb.
I haven't shaved so I look like a bum,
Needless to say I ain't gonna get none.

And the taximan gave me a long free ride
He said I pent up energy inside.
But I said to him, "Please tell me who just died
bequething onto you the title 'Freud.'"

I'm clearly having one of my episodes.
Bring out the credit card let's buy a Fender Rhodes
Does anyone know exactly just how that theme song goes?
There aren't as many Larry, Curly, Shemps as there are Moes.

I'm clearly having one of my episodes.
Bring out the credit card let's by a friend a rose.
Does anyone know exactly just how that theme song goes?
There aren't as many Larry, Curly, Shemps as there are Moes.

    the fourth and fifth paragraphs make me smile every time. especially how he sounds out and stresses every syllable in "needless to say i ain't gonna get none".

    I love the "I'm clearly having one .. of my episodes, Bring out the credid card let's by a rose."

    It's about the Simpsons, The Spice Girls (Posh spice, Beckham's wife). The text doesn't seem to be very intellectual and more funny than serious.

    sidewalk: There's no mention of the Simpsons in this song. There's a mention of Larry, Curly, Shemp and Moe from the Three Stooges though. That's the only thing I could see you mistake as a reference to the Simpsons.

    Basically, this is just a nonsense song. It's fun, but there's really not any big meaning behind it.

    SO I'm pretty sure the lyrics "Bring out the credit card let's by a friend a rose" should be "Bring out the credit card let's buy a fender rhodes" It makes more sense to use a credit card to buy a fender rhodes (an expensive keyboard no longer being made) thenusing a credit card to buy a friend a rose. Just my thoughtd and what I;ve always thought it was when i listened to the song. Opinions?

    this song was probably written when eric was pissed off, even if you listen to it, he sounds pissed. it makes this song so much better.

    I love the line about the three stooges. Larry, Curly, and Shemp were the nice guys in the Three Stooges while Moe was a jerk. He's saying that there are far more a**holes than there are nice guys in the world.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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."

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.
