Country Girl

Primal Scream

Never get to bed (be?)
Never get to hell baby
Never get to come until you start payin your dues
Yeah, What can a poor boy do
Better go back to yr mama
She'll take care of you

Lost your wife
Lost your son
Stay out drinking till the morning comes
Yeah
What can a poor boy do
Better go back to your mama
She'll take care of you

Country girl
Take my hand
Lead me thru this diseased land
I have I have i have (no idea)
I have stole
I have sinned
Oh my soul
Its unclean
Country girl
Gotta keep on keeping on

Crazy women
Mess your head up
Wake up drunk and beaten
In some strange bed
Yeah
What can a poor boy do
Better go back to your mama
Shell take care of you

Country girl
Take my hand
Lead me thru this diseased land
I have I have i have
I have stole
I have sinned
Oh my soul
Its unclean
Country girl

Gotta keep on keeping on
Gotta keep on keeping on
Gotta keep on keeping strong
Gotta keep on keeping on
With you
Got the riot city blues

What do you have to say
Before i have to go
Be careful what you say
Youll reap just what you sow
Yeah
What can a poor boy do
Better go back to yr mama
Shell take care of you

One last time

Country girl
Take my hand
Lead me thru this diseased land
I have i have i have
I have stole
I have sinned
Oh my soul
Its unclean
Country girl
Gotta keep on keeping on

Country girl
Take my hand
Lead me thru this diseased land
I have I have i have
I have stole
I have sinned
Oh my soul
Its unclean
Country girl
Gotta keep on keeping on

Country girl
Gotta keep on keeping on

    I rather like this, even though it's really cliched... I mean, "gotta keep on keepin' on"? Really. It's a bit of a guilty pleasure really. It's taken ages to get it up, presumably because it's so hard to make out the lyrics.

    I like this song quite a bit, at first I was put off because it was so different from Primal Scream's other recent stuff. But now I've gotten used to the idea I think I like it..

    Honestly, I think this song is just as direct as everyone thinks it is. It's taking every country song cliche and packing them into one song. The more i listen to it the more i love it

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

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.
