Liar, liar, you're such a great big liar
With the tallest tales that I have ever heard
Fire, fire, you set my soul on fire
Laughing in the corner as it burns

Right between the ribs it's sinking in

Oh, oh, the siren sang so sweet and watched the sailors going down
Oh, oh, you talk to me in siren song; yeah, anyone would drown
Anyone would drown

Sick and tired of this mad desire
Fluttering inside me like a hawk
Wire, wire, got my hands on wires
Well, Heaven help you when I get them off

Right between the ribs you'll feel it then

Oh, oh, the siren sang so sweet and watched the sailors going down
Oh, oh, you talk to in siren song; yeah, anyone would drown
Anyone would drown

Oh, the ships go down
Following the sound
Oh, the ships go down

Oh, oh, the siren sang so sweet and watched the sailors going down
Oh, oh, you don't do me in siren song; yeah, anyone would drown
Oh, oh, the siren sang so sweet and watched the sailors going down
Oh, oh, you don't do me in siren song; yeah, anyone would drown
Anyone would drown

    definetley about a flirt, she's sick of what he's doing, but loves it at the same time maybe ? "Oh oh, you talk to me in siren song, Yeah, anyone would drown Anyone would drown" but he's also a big talker, so he can be liked so much; and again she doesn't like the ay he can control her emotions.. i tihnk ?

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”

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,

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.

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.
