You put your tears in your glass bottom
And I'll tilt my pitcher to your problems
I know tomorrow you still got'em
But tonight we're gonna work it out

What's the matter man?
A better question would be what's not
Let me tell you 'bout the problems I got
My girlfriend left me
My bank account's empty
My rent be to high
And my landlord sent me a notice
Saying that I'm gonna get evicted
And just when I thought couldn't get worse
Suddenly it did...
Shit kid what's wrong ya gettin me stressed
My ex-girl just told me 'bout a pregnancy test that she took
And it's a plus sign and it's mine all mine
Damn that's crazy I feel for you
That's enough about me what's the deal with you

Yo my girl moved out cause she says that I'm a screw up
My car's in the shop cause my engine just blew up
My boss just fired me and said he should've never hired me
My brain is full of stress and anxiety
I seem bum but I'm holdin' back rage
Cause last night my wallet got stolen backstage
They maxed out my credit card at Ikea
We should get drunk that's a good idea!

Let's go to town hall and down all the crown
Fall down in the round stall
I bet would could drown all
All our troubles away
And just put our arms around each other and say something to the effect of

You put your tears in your glass bottom
And I'll tilt my pitcher to your problems
I know tomorrow you still got'em
But tonight we're gonna work it out

Ya see us pass through the hourglass quickly
When you're taking straight shots of sour mass whiskey
And as my bar tab towers past 50
I realize everybody's gettin' trashed wit me
Call the cab if you wanna stay alive
Cause Roberto's passed out yet he says that he's ok to drive
SALUTE!
I toast the apocalypse powerless
Rob got me freed from your politics
Now I just kick it like I'm passin' to a soccer teammate
Everything is beautiful when you can't see straight
So everybody grab ya mug and toast to the people that'cha love the most
And tell 'em somethin' like...

You put your tears in your glass bottom
And I'll tilt my pitcher to your problems
I know tomorrow you still got'em
But tonight we're gonna work it out

(Horns solo)

Yes Yes y'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.

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,

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
