Thanks Bastards!

Thank you Mr. Officer Grey (great?) for all the things you said to me, for all the good that you have ever done.
Will you, what would I be, all the gas upon my flames, my love and rage all roll up into one.
For everytime your gun goes off, and new rebel is born.
So when there's 41 bullets, there's 41 thousand thorns in your side
well take a ride down to precient 29, and we'll sing and dance and break the code of silence.

thank you governor
Thank you governor
to the mayor and
the commisioner
your monster is alive now
shes taken to the streets
crashing through your opra house and tearing at the seats
for all the times you sign your name, someone out there dies
found a wallet, not a gun
a mother's wife in tears
from her eyes
we despise
your hollow truths and honest lies
now you can sing the monster into slumber

THANKS BASTARDS!
You made me what I am

THANKS BASTARDS!
I took the goods and ran

THANKS BASTARDS!
You made me what I am

THANKS BASTARDS!
I took the goods and ran

I took the goods and ran X3

Homeland security Vs civil liberty
I'm studying in the shadows of our state
I seen the bones they tried to hide
cutthroat (?) other side
The Flood of US bath water is placed?

the funeral march of all the victims of your power war
rob the right to steal the night and rebels shall be born
for ever more your the storm we should play after it pours
and joy is sure to come after your silence. X2


THANKS BASTARDS!
You made me what I am

THANKS BASTARDS!
I took the goods and ran

THANKS BASTARDS!
You made me what I am

THANKS BASTARDS!
I took the goods and ran

I took the goods and ran X3

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
