Let us celebrate the foreign glamour of boys
Their allure is left unexplained
Their features and form alien to girls as described by girls
Scant chance for us to consume the beauty of the male body for pleasure

The body of boys, the blood of boys x8

Kappa jackets, Puma trainers, Farrahs, mullets, flicks
For that 80s comp-boy look
Bunny hops, wheelies (wow!)
BMX boys have a lot of fun
They ride their bikes out in the sun

Leisure centre, down by Cedars, railway line
Graffiti catalogues your weekend
Wait around, hang about, track you down
I spy on you
Looking hard through soft clean fringes

And if I kissed you (kiss kiss kiss)
And if we did it (do do do)
Would I become cool?
And as I kiss you
Gatecrash into
Boys boys boys!
Boys boys, boys boys boys!

And if I kissed you (kiss kiss kiss)
And if we did it (do do do)
Would I become cool?
And as I kiss you
Gatecrash into
Boys boys boys!
Boys boys, boys boys boys!

Biker jackets, long black jumpers, nose rings, DMs, dreads
For that 90s indie look
Guitars, playing records (wow!)
Boys in bands have a lot of fun
They make new sounds to get off on

Planet X, Freak Scene, Wildlife, Carny Bar
Roaches catalogue my weekend
Muck around, doss about, pants down
I lose time with you
Looking through your alternative fringe

And if I kissed you (kiss kiss kiss)
And if we did it (do do do)
Would I become cool?
And as I kiss you
Gatecrash into
Boys boys boys!
Boys boys, boys boys boys!

And if I kissed you (kiss kiss kiss)
And if we did it (do do do)
Would I become cool?
And as I kiss you
Gatecrash into
Boys boys boys!
Boys boys, boys boys boys!

The body of boys, the blood of boys x12

we like...
your skin
flat chest
shoulders square
cock
sex
broken voices
skinny hips
shape
synthesis
sinew
bass
metal

We like, we like, we like

    This song just makes me smile. It's cute, and doesn't beat around with the meaning.

    please don't tell me that i'm the only one who believes that this song is actually about how damn stupid and brainless women or girls become around a male that they like, and that they toss aside nearly any intelligence and independence they have when this occurs. considering how many times i myself have become completely and embarrassingly brainless around guys i have fallen in love with...the lyrics 'and if I kissed you, and if we did it, would I become cool?' seem to explain it all...

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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”

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental 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.
