Bye bye baby ill cya later
Bye bye baby ill cya later
My man looks like the old Shakin' Stevens
He says I resemble like the old Steptoe
He sits down slow but quick sniff up the blow
Reminisce about beans and how we all do grow
And the good man says bloody feel like leaving
But hes lean again forgotten what I already know
Made enough money shottin' bobby bills and po
He spent it all quick sniffin' up on the blow

Hard for your playin no smoking on the night bus
No shit Holmes with your big boy Sherlock
The man got chickenpox at 23
If you go down the docks you better take all of your
money money money money
It ain't no dunny, it's a toilet
Great grandaddy, got sent there
So go back home
Stop cloggin' up pubs with your bullshit talkin'
And the nightbuses that complain at us
Peeps call us right-wing but we're pretty fucking liberal
I shit you, you not cos we're all for the equal
And yes J, I agree the first Predator is much better than the sequel
No question, the second one's feeble
Kids with skids, and coughing up dust
Yeah I'm waiting man, I cuss, must, and man
Now bike chain broken, now that too much rust
And people slowly stepping in ways trying to cuss us

Here's ya getaway
I ain't gonna try to cry
Hard for your playin no smoking on the night bus
And so I must say
Kids with skids, and coughing up dust
I sad to see you cut the ties
Good man says bloody feel like leaving

In these cities, hard to see the stars overhead
Can see the moon though the street light turns it blood red
The star symbolises the guts we bled
The mouth got fed the winding alleys that we tread
The moon much bigger representing the dead
Who lie in the sewers under soldier's feet
They stir as you march while your asleep they walk the street
Put your ears to the drain you can hear them weep

So we all chat about it and we decided you should getaway
Here's ya getaway
You're getting away
Man here's ya getaway
And yeah bye bye baby
Ill see you later
Ill see you later
Here's ya getaway
Rob the bank here's ya getaway
And ill take my ticket get out of this town
And get away
Here's ya getaway
Ah cha cha baby
Here's ya getaway
Rob the bank take the getaway
And ill talk to the pigs hear as I say
And id get yourself out of this city, oh getaway
Oh man here's ya getaway
And id getaway, getaway, id getaway
Oh yeah show to the peeps I see what I see
And oh, rob the bank, Make a getaway
And ill rob the bank, but ill take a getaway

Here's ya getaway
Bye bye baby ill
I ain't gonna try to cry
But I must say
Bye bye baby ill
I sad to see you cut the ties
Bye bye baby ill cya later

    this mght be wong

    but i think this song is about when a family member is leaving and moving on to better things like siblings maybe? and basically one of the siblings is leaving and the other is glad that they are getting out of the town but is kind of jealous that they cant leave

    i aint gonna try to cry- this might mean im not gonna try to make you stay but im not gonna show that i dnt want you to go at the same time

    the angry bit in the middle when hes like rob the back take your getaway

    sounds really bitter like sort of hes saying just go already

    almost like "i would do anything to leave this town so just take your chance and go"

    its a really sad song i love jamie t soo soo much

    I really think this song is about a lost generation, a generation with no identity and the only way out is to get right out. And yeah, there's a bitterness there because so few make it out. Peeps call us right-wing but we’re pretty fucking liberal I shit you, you not cos we’re all for the equal" - is about being labelled a racist or 'right-wing' but actually they want equality, the same chances as everyone else.

    i reckon this song is the stories of the crappy people around JT in the crappy town he lives in as he tries to find a way out- 'He sits down slow but quick sniff up the blow Reminisce about beans and how we all do grow'

    the chorus is mainly about JT wantin to get away 'i ain't gonna try to cry' hes been ofered 'a ticket outa this town'. His old man cant make it out of the town cause hes got no money 'He spent it all quick sniffin’ up on the blow'

    'Yeah I’m waiting man, I cuss, must, and man Now bike chain broken, now that too much rust' this shows that he couldnt get away as eveythin in the shit town is... well shit...

    i think little missgg has got it especially with the bitterness (and also inner reluctance) in getting out 'They stir as you march while your asleep they walk the street Put your ears to the drain you can hear them weep'

    i think the whole robbing the bank thing is more of a gift than to do with jealousy- 'So we all chat about it and we decided you should getaway'

    also love JT great song

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"

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."

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.

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.
