The devil comes, and, ah, I try to stall, and, ah
Soon my subconscious and conscious might start to brawl
And I put up my walls
And, ah, they begin to fall
As this cunnin' demon takes me as its voodoo doll
And, ah, darkness sets in as the horns start to grow
Suddenly I become somebody I don't know

Whoa, what do I do?
Whoa oh
This body's temple of doom
Whoa, what can I say
To, ooh, oh, make all of this go away?

I got many different names, but to you it's all the same
I be the crawlin' in your skin, I be the reason for your sin
I be the cunnin' in your charm, and I be the needle in your arm
Call me once might, let you go, but call me twice, and then I'm gonna get ya

Mind playin' tricks on me
I'm paranoid, homey
Nobody knows what I'm goin' through
God, I'm so lonely
I know I'm losin' it
I'm hearing (whispering)
Somebody's watchin' me, clockin' me, hear my heart tickin'
Worshiping two gods can get you in deep
Crystal ball show you things you're not supposed to see

Whoa, what do I do?
Whoa oh
This body's temple of doom
Whoa, what can I say
To, ooo, oh, make all of this go away?

You see me comin' for ya
You know I'm gonna get ya
I said, I'm gonna get ya
You know I'm comin' for ya
You see me comin' for ya
You know I'm gonna get ya
I said, I'm gonna get ya
You know I'm comin' for ya
You see me comin' for ya
You know I'm gonna get ya
I said, I'm gonna get ya
You know I'm comin' for ya
You see me comin' for ya
You know I'm gonna get ya
I said, I'm gonna get ya
You know I'm comin' for ya
You see me comin' for ya
You know I'm gonna get ya
I said, I'm gonna get ya

    This song is about her addiction to crystal meth and what it did to her.

    She's possessed. I take this as a confession.

    no it's about her addiction to crystal meth, she said so on the tyra banks show awhile back.

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,

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.
