Couple in the corner
Now she's crying on his shoulder
Well they're a couple of Modern Lovers
Sort of Kevin and Isolde
She's embarrassed by his footwear
He's embarrassed by her hair
But he doesn't really care
He says it's murder staying emotionally aware
He's another Lost Soul
But he's only come here to die
And get high

In the sargasso bar, the sargasso bar, the sargasso bar
In the sargasso bar, the sargasso bar, the sargasso bar

Big John in the wooly
Football training in the evening
Well he got married married married
Now he only thinks of leaving
And he's surrounded by the blubber
Watch the terylene stretching
As he makes a point about his car
When you're on miles to the gallon
You know where you are
And he's here every night, he's such a regular guy
He gets high

In the sargasso bar, the sargasso bar, the sargasso bar
In the sargasso bar, the sargasso bar, the sargasso bar

We came in from the rain
Now we're surrounded by the Eels of Death
Everyone nervous and everybody couldn't care less
We raise our glasses in 2/4 time
We study the latecomers as they slither in beneath the door
About this time of the night
There's more and more and more and more
Well, give them ten minutes then they all go home to die
Cos they're so high

In the sargasso bar, the sargasso bar, the sargasso bar
In the sargasso bar, the sargasso bar, the sargasso bar
In the sargasso bar, the sargasso bar, the sargasso bar
In the sargasso bar, the sargasso bar, the sargasso bar
In the sargasso bar, the sargasso bar, the sargasso bar
In the sargasso bar, the sargasso bar, the sargasso bar

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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"

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/

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.
