So she said fuck this town,
Nothing's ever going down
Spun herself round and round
Drilled herself into the ground
Twenty kids fell in that hole
I was twenty-one out of control
She crawled right inside my brain
She's some mental hurricane

All you do is say her name
Everybody goes insane

So I said screw that girl
She's the end of the world
Don't like what she does to me
Makes me hate my memory
I said things I am ashamed
To the girl with three first names
She crawled right inside my brain
She's some mental hurricane

    What does the title of the song have to do with the lyrics?

    Well, "Susquehanna Hat Company" is the name of an old vaudeville routine where a comedian asks a man for directions to the hat company only to have the man go berserk because of a tragedy that occurred to a relative at the company. Every person the comedian asks has had a terrible experience with the hat company and, inevitably, the comedian is beaten up simply for mentioning the name.

    Here's a clip of Abbott & Costello performing the routine from their film IN SOCIETY (1944): youtube.com/watch

    The Three Stooges did a variation of this routine in which the words "Niagra Falls" are substituted for the hat company which provoke the memorable phrase "Slowly I turn...step by step..."

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.
